Embodying the Sacred Laughter of the Sufis

05/07/2025 06:30 PM - 06/18/2025 08:30 PM PT

Description

     
Sufi teachers explain that laughter is the sound of a soul waking up and that every Mulla, or learned Islamic scholar's, story has at least seven levels of meaning. Jamal will guide us in gleaning spiritual insights and practices from these classic stories which have the power to transform our lives.

Imam Jamal Rahman is a popular speaker on Islam, Sufi spirituality and interfaith relations. Along with his Interfaith Amigos, he has been featured in the New York Times, on CBS News, the BBC and various NPR programs. Co-founder and Muslim Sufi minister at Interfaith Community Sanctuary and adjunct faculty at Seattle University, he is a former host of Interfaith Talk Radio and travels nationally and internationally, presenting at conferences, retreats and workshops.
 
Jamal's passion lies in interfaith community building. He remains rooted in his Islamic tradition but cultivates 'spaciousness' by being open to the beauty and wisdom of other faiths. Through the process of an authentic and appreciative understanding of other paths, Jamal feels that he is becoming a better Muslim. This spaciousness is not about conversion, but about completion. Jamal has an abiding faith in the power of heart to heart connections to encompass differences and dissolve prejudices.  http://interfaithcommunitysanctuary.org/
