Letters To A Young Muslim
from NYUAD Institute · host NYUAD Institute
2017.03.09 In a series of personal letters to his son, Omar Saif Ghobash offers a short and highly readable manifesto that tackles our current global crisis with the training of an experienced diplomat and the personal responsibility of a father. Today’s young Muslims will be tomorrow’s leaders, and yet too many are vulnerable to extremist propaganda that seems omnipresent in our technological age. The burning question, Ghobash argues, is how moderate Muslims can unite to find a voice that is true to Islam while actively and productively engaging in the modern world. What does it mean to be a good Muslim? H. E. Omar Saif Ghobash Author, “Letters to a Young Muslim” (Picador, 2017); Ambassador of the United Arab Emirates to Russia
