Deen Intensive Academy -- Preparing Islamic Scholars!

Muslims from around the country participated in the first Deen Intensive Academy just outside Washington, D.C. in late August for a weekend of spiritual renewal but also to delve into important aspects of the Islamic faith and to embark upon a journey of developing into scholars. Deen means faith and this first gathering was coordinated and organized by Imam Abdul Jalil, a Chicago native and Sister Nisa Islam Muhammad, writer for The Final Call newspaper. It was a high-energy, full, and "intense" weekend. Check out the other video interviews below from presenters and participants as they shared their thoughts about Deen Intensive Academy.
