Tamara Gray - How an American Woman Became a Muslim Scholar

About this lecture

In this in-depth interview recorded in Australia, American Islamic scholar Dr. Tamara Gray shares her extraordinary journey from a frustrated Muslim convert in 1980s Minnesota to 20 years of traditional Islamic study in Damascus — and how the Syrian war brought her home and inspired her to found Rabata, an organisation dedicated to Islamic education for women. She offers powerful reflections on the state of Muslim women's learning in the West, practical advice on beginning the journey of seeking knowledge, and a compelling vision for how traditional scholarship and modern methodologies can work together to shape the next generation of Muslim scholars.
