Well, it looks like we didn’t get enough people for a an official Progressive Muslims Meet-up. However, the organizer of the Islam in America Conference has confirmed we will have space if we want it. Details will be announced at lunch. If you haven’t already registered for the conference, please do so. If you can, drop me a line, as detailed below, that you will be coming, and any ideas for an agenda.

A good friend of mine was (not so) recently awarded a major honor by his university. Couldn’t have happened to a more deserving person. Who says science and (Muslim) religion can’t mix?

I have a question for you, not directly related to this post but I’m putting the comment here because my email to you just bounced. 🙂
I’m interested in the distinction between nafs and ruh (I speculate that it’s similar to the distinction between the Hebrew terms nefesh and ruach, which seem to hold the same connotations as the Arabic from what I’ve been able to glean.) Is there any resource that you would recommend, either in print or online, which might help me get a handle on these two terms? I’ve got a Quranic concordance here, which is helpful, but I’d love any suggestions you can offer. Thank you!
