Biannual conferences on Philosophy, Science & Religion

​Biannual conferences on PSR – FEIISP intends to carry out two big conferences annually in June and December for the wider Muslim community. Topics will vary each year but will include discussions on evolution, quantum mechanics, Islamic theology and atheism. FEIISP will also carry out conferences that are more relevant on the practical level. This includes topics like medical phenomena and Islamic jurisprudence. The motivation for holding such events is to gather Muslim thinkers (scientists, theologians and philosophers) and the wider public to acknowledge and discuss the possible challenges and solutions which contemporary science, technology and philosophy is raising. As a case in point, and in addition to the three conferences mentioned in the executive summary, FEIISP will be holding two more conferences in 2019. One will be on evolution and Islamic hermeneutics which will be taking place in July and the second one will be on modern medical developments pertinent to Islamic jurisprudence which will be held in December. The deliverables from these conferences will include full-length recordings of the event which will be made available on YouTube, bite-size clips, short summaries of the talks made in the form of articles, and simplified educational materials (in the form of presentation slides, worksheets or notes) of the talks targeted to the students attending the FE weekend school. These materials will accumulate as part of the FEIISP repository and made available online (for free) so as to make the conferences relevant and accessible for every level of the wider community. In the long run it is hoped that this repository provides ready-made materials for other seminaries and weekend Islamic schools interested in implementing PSR-related courses.
