Video: Multifaith Mondays: Moral Witness for Democracy (March 23, 2026)
I was honored to be able to offer a small reflection at this event. Since March 3, 2025, Multifaith Monday vigils have served as a sacred space for collective lament, prophetic resistance, and multifaith community-building in a time of deep division and threat to America’s democratic values. Every Monday, New Yorkers come together — rain or shine, hot or cold — to draw strength from each other, and…

Media: WBUR on Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan
Four previously unknown recordings of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, the Pakistani singer known as the ‘King of the Kings of Qawwali’ who died in 1997, have been rediscovered on a warehouse shelf in England. They’re released on a new album called “Chain of Light.” Michael Brook — the Canadian guitarist and composer who recorded the newly released tracks with Kahn back in 1990 — and Hussein Rashid, a scholar of Muslim and U.S. culture, join…

Zocalo: Ramadan Invites Us to Imagine a Better Future
I have a new piece on Zócalo about Ramadan as a futurist practice. Ramadan is a futurist practice. Ritual fasting and increased spiritual contemplation are ruptures in Muslims’ daily habits, not just in eating, but in our movement through the world. They force you to pay attention, with eyes misty with spirituality—to feel viscerally what is wrong with the world. Ramadan invites Muslims to imagine how we can remake…
