Ninety Educators gather in Houston for ITREB USA’s Continuing Education Program
“Training and development of volunteer educators is a key priority of ITREB USA. During these sessions, participants engage with IIS scholars and each other to improve their pedagogical skills and content delivery. Crucially, we discussed ways in which they can facilitate the Jamat’s inquiries around their own faith, strengthen their sense of belonging in the community, and help them navigate contemporary ethical dilemmas.”
ITREB Chairman Murad Abdullah speaking about the Continuing Education Program (CEP)
Over ninety Waezeen, teacher educators, STEP Teachers (including the Regional Academic Leads and Teacher Leads), and youth facilitators gathered in Houston during the weekend of January 20, 2020, to participate in the annual training session organized by the Institute of Ismaili Studies (IIS) and the Ismaili Tariqah and Religious Education Board for the United States (ITREB-USA).
This year, Dr. Shiraz Kabani, Head of the IIS Department of Community Relations, and Dr. Karim Gulamali, Course Director of the International Training Programme, facilitated a discussion around the articulation of Imamat focusing on the frequently asked questions from the Jamat. The session highlighted the difference between an essentialist or static approach to Islam, versus one that encompasses the ethos of dynamic thinking, with scope for intellectual inquiry, adaptation, and fluidity. It also helped educators to contemplate on the needs of the Jamat and called on them to nurture an empathetic and thoughtful disposition. The training included a skills-development module where educators were challenged to provide responses to case studies reflecting the prominent concerns and inquiries from the Jamat.
Dr. Kabani and Dr. Gulamali also led a hands-on workshop on the art of elocution, focusing on the delivery of waez. In addition to emphasizing tone, pitch, and the use of pauses, they noted that affect and emotions, too, are didactic.
On the final day of training, participants learned about how to conduct literary analysis with Professor Karim Dharamsi, Chair of General Education and Philosophy at Montreal’s Royal University. Studying the works of Plato, they examined questions of epistemology – from the situatedness of knowledge and different ways of knowing, to learning how to analyze the validity and soundness of arguments, with a focus on common fallacies made in the construction of such arguments.
Sarfaraz Abdullah described his time at the training as, “an exhilarating experience to be in a room with so many talented, experienced, and knowledgeable individuals, immersed in high energy discussions and debates on issues of key significance to the many segments of our Jamat.”
Nahid Husain-Habib, a youth facilitator, said, “The Houston CEP was a wonderful platform to begin new conversations between a variety of stakeholders who interact with the Jamat in different ways. Together, we shared ideas to better serve the Jamat and its changing needs. Insha’allah, these conversations will continue and lead to positive change within our institutions.”
Board members for ITREB USA, Furhana Husani and Warda Ali expressed satisfaction that the sessions were well received. “We feel that such continuing education platforms are crucial for us to build community across educators as well as to ensure that there is a platform for us to discuss emerging issues,” said Furhana. Warda agreed, noting that “ITREB USA will continue to create additional training opportunities for educators, including exploring online platforms.”

In Islamabad, Pakistan, October 2000, Mowlana Hazar Imam said: “…Giving can take many forms – funds, time, ideas and professional skills. Everyone can and should be a donor, not just the wealthy, and all forms of giving should be encouraged and recognized. Volunteerism is critical and is obtaining greater and greater recognition and encouragement.”

Kitab Corner
ITREB UK are delighted to launch the Kitab Corner postal service. During this uncertain time, this remote service aims to provide comfort and solace to members of the Jamat of all ages. It enables individuals and families to request devotional material, curriculum books, and other publications to be sent to their homes during the temporary closure of Jamatkhanas.

You might choose to finally spend time with a book you've always wanted to read, or to read something you might not usually have a chance to.
The Kitab Corner service enables members of the Jamat to request the following:
Devotional material, including Du’a books, Ginan books, the recently published Farman books, or even a tasbih
Curriculum material, including Primary curriculum (Ta’lim) and Secondary curriculum books
Other materials, including IIS and AKTC publications
Once you have finished reading the book requested, you may choose to return it when Jamatkhanas reopen, or you can keep it in your home as reference material for you and your loved ones.

The Conference of the Birds
The Conference of the Birds is a mystical tale originally compiled in 4,500-line poem by Farid al-Din Attar. ITREB Mozambique will take you through this intriguing journey where Hoopoe leads the seekers through seven valleys to see the king.
In the twelfth century, a group of birds realise the need to know more about their king and meet him. However, Simurgh, the king lived too far and the journey to reach to him seemed arduous. Hoopoe a clever bird steps forward and offers to lead these birds through this intense, interesting and scary journey, calmly!
The Conference of the Birds is a mystical tale originally complied in 4,500-line poem by Farid al-Din Attar.

ITREB Mozambique will take you through this intriguing journey where Hoopoe leads the seekers through seven valleys to see the king. What happens after the birds cross the seven valleys?

The tradition of volunteering
We are currently experiencing complex times, marked by countless challenges and uncertainties, which require changes on the part of all of us in the way we live, work and deal with each other. These are times that give rise to a profound reflection on the meaning of life and our relationship with faith.

The Ismaili story is full of circumstances in which our Jamat has shown formidable firmness in its values ​​and identity. In this long historical path, voluntary service, through the teachers of Dar-at-Ta'lim, has played a fundamental role in helping young generations to gain confidence, to practice and articulate our faith, to live their lives accordingly. with our values ​​and to dedicate ourselves to the well-being and progress of their families, Jamat and society in general. When we reached the end of another school year at Dar-at-Ta'lim, it was also time to remember the value of this tradition and inform all Jamat members that ITREB has time and knowledge on offer from all who wish to participate in the religious education of our young people.

The Ismaili story is full of circumstances in which our Jamat has shown formidable firmness in its values ​​and identity. In this long historical path, voluntary service, through the teachers of Dar-at-Ta'lim, has played a fundamental role in helping young generations to gain confidence, to practice and articulate our faith, to live their lives accordingly. with our values ​​and to dedicate ourselves to the well-being and progress of their families, Jamat and society in general. When we reached the end of another school year at Dar-at-Ta'lim, it was also time to remember the value of this tradition and inform all Jamat members that ITREB has time and knowledge on offer from all who wish to participate in the religious education of our young people.
