The Inner-City Muslim Action Network (IMAN) will hold its seventh Takin’ It to the Streets festival in Chicago on June 19. This festival reflects IMAN’s longing to se

It is well known among Muslims that before Quranic revelation, the Prophet, peace be upon him, was firmly established in the hearts and minds of the broader Meccan society as “the trustworthy one,” a title he acquired in his relentless pursuit of truth and for his unwavering commitment to the more vulnerable segments of society. It is in this spirit that IMAN actively and aggressively reaches out and works alongside a diverse range of organizations, collations, and networks. Indeed, it is our deep conviction that in pursuing these lofty goals, tremendous energy and momentum can be generated at the grassroots community level.

Chicago Gearing Up for Largest Muslim-led Arts Festival

By elan 606 days ago on Events from www.elanthemag.com

The above stats are for Takin It to the Streets, a Muslim-led arts and entertainment festival taking place at Marquette Park in Chicago this weekend. This groundbreaking event has been around since 1997, and is the largest Muslim-led festival in the United States.
