MPV Los Angeles x IQRA Virtual Qur’an Chat
Join MPV Los Angeles and IQRA for our Virtual Qur’an Chat on Saturday October 31, 2026 at 9:30 AM PT | 12:30 PM ET.
For our upcoming Q-Chat, which coincides with Halloween, let's discuss the Quran's narrative around Satan (Iblis) and his refusal to bow to Adam (as).
We'll read from Surah Saad Q38:65-88 (https://quran.com/sad/65-88)
And a cool supplemental video to watch is Filip Holm's fascinating recent video about some controversial Muslim discourses about Satan, featuring Omid Safi. Check it out, and we can discuss: https://youtu.be/wBiIbduqLZ4
About the IQRA group:
We gather virtually or in-person to discuss the Quran. The group aims to be an inclusive space to connect to, struggle with, and grow from the sacred and deeply lyrical text while exploring the gamut of possible interpretations (whether progressivist, shia, modernist, sunni, feminist, sufi, queer, or salafi). Core to this endeavor is a commitment to 1) recognizing the historic multiplicity of Muslim interpretation and 2) embracing the diversity of our own personal experiences and understandings. In this process, we will differ and disagree - it's only natural! Let's embrace that and grow from one another.
Ground rules:
Bring your whole selves into the conversation. Be respectful. Share air time so everyone has an opportunity to speak. There are no silly questions. Each of us are at different places of our spiritual journey and we look forward to supporting each other wherever we may be. No level of familiarity or knowledge of Arabic is required.
