Join us for a thought-provoking seminar that delves into the rich and diverse world of Folk Islam — where local traditions, ancestral beliefs, and Islamic teachings intertwine in a rich tapestry of syncretic culture, memory, and practice. This seminar offers a unique exploration of how Islam has interacted with pre-Islamic traditions, indigenous healing rituals, and ancient spiritual practices across various cultures. From spirit veneration and sacred shrines to Sufi rituals and everyday expressions of faith, we'll uncover the lived experiences of Muslims that often fall outside the bounds of orthodox narratives — yet remain deeply rooted in devotion and community.
