Registration for 49th Annual ISNA Convention Now Open, Join us in DC!






(Jan 26, 2012) ISNA is excited to announce that we have officially opened registration for this year's Annual ISNA Convention, to take place in Washington D.C. over labor day weekend.  You can learn more about this year's discounted hotel rates and register online today! The anticipation is building as we prepare for an inspiring convention, to take place on the heels of Ramadan in our nation's capitol just weeks before the 2012 Presidential elections.   

This year's theme, "One Nation Under God: Striving for the Common Good," will focus on the six over-arching purposes of revelation from God in the Quran that guide our lives and how we, as diverse people of faith, can live up to our responsibility to be stewards of the earth and lead in accordance with the principles given to us by God.   

These include preservation of respect for: (1) freedom of religion for all (2) life
(3) family (4) property rights (5) knowledge (6) dignity/human and civil rights.  Whether you are an activist, a busy mother, or both, this year's convention will have the diverse range of knowledge, tools and resources for you and your work in life.  We can all learn and grow together by focusing on what we all have in common, which is Islam. 

At a time where freedom of religion, fair and open elections, knowledge, speech, and expression are increasingly limited across the world for people of all faiths, it is our responsibility to protect these freedoms.  Whether you do so by educating your own children and raising them to be kind and tolerant individuals or as an activist or political leader, we can all make a difference.  Join us at this year's convention to make yours.

We hope to see you at this year's convention and look forward to sharing our exciting new speakers, sessions, and programs with you soon!
