Yesterday we had the unique privilege of hosting a group of 11 American university students and their professor, Rub\u00e9n D\u00edaz L\u00f3pez, for a profound exchange after the Dhuhr prayer.<\/p>\n\n
This reception was much more than just a visit; It was a truly fruitful exchange<\/strong>, designed to offer us the opportunity to express in existential terms<\/strong> what the Deen of Islam<\/strong> is and can be understood in the present age. It also allows us to lay a diverse and lasting foundation for intercultural dialogue and understanding<\/strong>\u2014something necessary for the time and place in which we live. <\/p>\n\n Among the central issues addressed were the coexistence of Muslims<\/strong> with the European diaspora in general, the historical foundations<\/strong> that have brought us to where we are today, and, crucially, how to untie the chains of historical and cultural dispositions<\/strong>. Our goal, through this dialogue, is to reach a locative and in-depth understanding<\/strong> of the roles we play in society through education, integration, and social betterment<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n We warmly welcome<\/strong> all those who approach the Seville Mosque Foundation in search of connection and understanding with the Muslim citizens of the city. We ask Allah to make every encounter a door to a harmonious and prosperous future for society as a whole. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Yesterday we had the unique privilege of hosting a group of 11 American university students and their professor, Rub\u00e9n D\u00edaz L\u00f3pez, for a profound exchange after the Dhuhr prayer.
