WHAT WILL OUR GRANDCHILDREN INHERIT?
WHAT WILL OUR GRANDCHILDREN INHERIT?
Muslim families in Norway are now raising children and grandchildren here.
Mufti Taqi Usmani has been thinking about what happens to faith across generations since his first journey to America in 1978. Now he comes to Oslo.

NORWAY IS HOME NOW.
THE HARDER QUESTION IS WHAT WE PASS ON.
For many Muslim families in Norway, Europe is no longer somewhere the family has only recently arrived. Children and grandchildren are growing up here.
A Muslim child in Norway spends most of the day at school, with friends and on a phone, in a society that is not built around Islam. The time left for Qur'an classes, the mosque and learning at home is far shorter.
Parents feel that gap, even if they rarely say it out loud.
Will my children pray when no one is checking?
Will they know why they are Muslim, or only that they are?
And who will teach their children?
Every family answers these questions, whether it plans to or not. Together, those answers become the future of Islam in Europe.
THE QUESTIONS GET REAL
WHEN THE MONEY GETS REAL.
Buying a home.
Financing something you need.
Saving for the future.
Thinking about investing.
Looking at an “Islamic” alternative and wondering what actually makes it different.
Trying to understand two scholars giving different answers to what sounds like the same financial question.
These are not abstract debates when your own money, family and future are involved.
And an Islamic label is not the same thing as understanding what you are signing up for.
The more important the financial decision, the more valuable it becomes to know what to look for before you move forward.
HE HAS BEEN ASKING THIS QUESTION
FOR NEARLY FIFTY YEARS.
In 1978, Mufti Taqi Usmani travelled to America for the first time. He met Muslim families who had settled there years earlier and saw how strongly their children had been shaped by the society around them.
He never forgot it. On his travels in the decades since, he has warned Muslim communities that protecting the iman of their future generations is a paramount obligation.
He has returned to the same question in Muslim communities on several continents. In his writing, the education and upbringing of children is the biggest issue facing Muslims who live as a minority.
That perspective is backed by more than six decades of scholarship and institutional experience:
· More than six decades teaching Islamic sciences
· Former judge on the Shariat Appellate Bench of the Supreme Court of Pakistan
· Member of the International Islamic Fiqh Academy since 1984
BRING THE GENERATIONS
THIS EVENING IS ABOUT.
This talk concerns grandparents, parents and children. It is worth hearing as a family.
Mufti Taqi speaks in Urdu, with Norwegian translation. It is open to those who think in Urdu and to those who grew up thinking in Norwegian.
Most Islamic lectures are watched alone, on a phone, and left half-finished. This one is worth giving a full evening, then talking about on the way home.
If you teach at a weekend school, lead a mosque or work with young Muslims, this question is already part of your work.
ONE EVENING.
THREE HOURS.
A SUBJECT THAT CAN AFFECT YEARS OF FINANCIAL DECISIONS.
Some financial decisions stay with you for years.
Spending one evening learning from someone who has studied the Islamic rulings and worked inside Islamic finance is a small investment of time before the next important one.
Entry is completely free.
Limited seating. Each attendee must register separately.
