Time: 10:00 am - 12:00 pm

Rumi, Qur’an & Universal Teachings
When the heart of the 13th century sage Rumi opened up, he heard whispers of divine secrets from
invisible realms. In his understanding of divine revelations Rumi moved from knowledge of tongue to knowledge of heart. In astonishment he exclaimed that he could hear “birdsong in the egg.”
In this six week class, Jamal will share some of these celestial insights that can help us in our contemporary world to live a life of inspiration, hope, joy, and meaning.
Imam Jamal Rahman is a popular speaker and author on Islam, Sufi spirituality, and interfaith relations. Along with his Interfaith Amigos, he has been featured in The New York Times, CBS News, BBC, and various NPR programs. Jamal is co-founder and Muslim Sufi Imam at Interfaith Community Sanctuary, and adjunct faculty at Seattle University. He travels nationally and internationally, presenting at retreats and workshops. Jamal’s passion lies in interfaith community building and activism.
