Rumi ForumRumi Forum and our partner, Jewish Islamic Dialogue Society (JIDS), members frequently turn to Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), peace be upon him, for inspiration. We submit that for any open-minded member of the family of Abraham/Ibrahim, Prophet Muhammad’s (pbuh) life and teachings offer a compelling object of study and contemplation.

On Sunday, February 23, 2025, we tried to shed light on this inspiring figure. We brought together a diverse panel to speak from the heart about why this seventh-century man continues to profoundly impact their 21st-century lives. Our speakers included Imad-ad-Dean Ahmad, a Palestinian American polymath whose areas of expertise range from astrophysics to chaplaincy; Dr. Sevde Arpaci Ayhan, a scholar in political economics and international development; and Kemal Taban, who provided the perspective of a successful young adult who grew up in the DMV. We also made time for Q&A and small group discussions. The hope was that all in attendance would better understand this incredible person and find their inspiration to study his message independently.
