But some parents encourage their kids to start trying this religious practice of fasting at a much younger age. “My parents started me at the age of 6,” said Shaikh.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shaikh remembers feeling tears in her eyes after her first sip of water during iftars when she was 6. “My parents would be like, why are you crying?” she said, adding that she remembers feeling so blessed to be able to observe the fast with her family at a young age. “They were tears of happiness,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But by the time she was in middle school, she had a more negative experience during Ramadan. “I remember peers and teachers not really understanding why I can’t do certain things [during Ramadan],” she said. Fasting can take a toll mentally and physically, says Shaikh, and she found it challenging to navigate activities like physical education classes — and negative comments from kids at school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shaikh says that observing Ramadan during high school was a much better experience than those earlier years. Not only were those teachers more understanding, but she “felt more comfortable being myself, being in my own skin.” This was also the time that she started attending Islamic school on Sundays, and felt that she was able to appreciate and learn more about her faith there. Also through the school, she was able to connect with other people who had similar backgrounds growing up Muslim in the Bay Area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, as she experiences this holy month in college, Shaikh says she feels excited: about the moon-sighting event, getting together with her family and community for iftar, and sharing everything about Ramadan with her friends. “I just love explaining to my peers now what Ramadan is, and why we observe Ramadan,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her hope for the new generation of young Muslims in the Bay Area? “Don’t be afraid to be proud of who you are,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11944171\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11944171\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/03/RS63752_GettyImages-1240397744-qut.jpg\" alt=\"A man and a young boy, both with darker skin, wear traditional long sleeved purple shirts and pants, sitting down on a prayer mat.

It is, says imam El-Bakri, “the birth month of the Quran.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He adds that Ramadan therefore “is the birth month of Islam,” and that the “night of destiny” — \u003ca href=\"https://www.muslimaid.org/what-we-do/religious-dues/the-night-of-power-laylat-ul-qadr/\">Laylat al-Qadr\u003c/a> — is said to be the specific day the Quran was revealed.

But some parents encourage their kids to start trying this religious practice of fasting at a much younger age. “My parents started me at the age of 6,” said Shaikh.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shaikh remembers feeling tears in her eyes after her first sip of water during iftars when she was 6. “My parents would be like, why are you crying?” she said, adding that she remembers feeling so blessed to be able to observe the fast with her family at a young age. “They were tears of happiness,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But by the time she was in middle school, she had a more negative experience during Ramadan. “I remember peers and teachers not really understanding why I can’t do certain things [during Ramadan],” she said. Fasting can take a toll mentally and physically, says Shaikh, and she found it challenging to navigate activities like physical education classes — and negative comments from kids at school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shaikh says that observing Ramadan during high school was a much better experience than those earlier years. Not only were those teachers more understanding, but she “felt more comfortable being myself, being in my own skin.” This was also the time that she started attending Islamic school on Sundays, and felt that she was able to appreciate and learn more about her faith there. Also through the school, she was able to connect with other people who had similar backgrounds growing up Muslim in the Bay Area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, as she experiences this holy month in college, Shaikh says she feels excited: about the moon-sighting event, getting together with her family and community for iftar, and sharing everything about Ramadan with her friends. “I just love explaining to my peers now what Ramadan is, and why we observe Ramadan,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her hope for the new generation of young Muslims in the Bay Area? “Don’t be afraid to be proud of who you are,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11944171\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11944171\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/03/RS63752_GettyImages-1240397744-qut.jpg\" alt=\"A man and a young boy, both with darker skin, wear traditional long sleeved purple shirts and pants, sitting down on a prayer mat.

If the newborn crescent moon was sighted, then that evening during sunset marked the first night of Ramadan. But if it wasn’t directly observed (for example, because of inclement weather), it was assumed that Ramadan would begin the next night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Today, due to technological advancements, the calculation of the first day of a lunar month can be accurate and dependable, without seeing the actual newborn crescent moon with the naked eye. So because there are two methods of determining a new lunar month or Ramadan — through astronomical calculations and moon sightings — Muslims around the world sometimes observe the beginning of Ramadan (and its end, Eid al-Fitr) on different days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some people follow just the astronomical calculations of the new lunar month to determine Ramadan, and some “do a combination of the calculations and the moon sighting, a combination of science and sighting,” \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11910408/ramadan-begins-on-acrescent-moon-ushering-in-a-holy-month-of-fasting-andkindness\">Bay Area spiritual leader Alauddin El-Bakri told KQED in 2022\u003c/a>.

Judges in Maryland, Washington state and Hawaii are hearing challenges Wednesday to the new one.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The White House says the executive order Trump signed on March 6 is urgently needed to protect national security. But critics counter that both executive orders are really intended to block immigration from Muslim countries, in violation of the Constitution.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here's a look at what to expect in three closely watched cases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Washington state\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Federal District Judge James L. Robart — who blocked much of the White House's first travel ban last month — held a hearing at 5 p.m. ET in Seattle. The case was brought by four citizens or permanent residents in Washington who argue that access to visas for their family members would be disrupted by the revised travel ban.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Robart has already ruled against the Trump administration once before; his ruling was later upheld by the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. Rather than defend its original travel ban, the Trump administration replaced it with a new one that the White House argues is \"substantially different.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The revised executive order temporarily blocks entry by travelers from six mostly Muslim countries, not seven. (Iraq was dropped from the list.) And the new order makes clear that it doesn't apply to lawful permanent residents, also known as green card holders, or to people holding valid visas issued before the ban takes effect.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But those changes aren't enough to satisfy Washington state and Minnesota, which brought the challenge to the original travel ban. Washington Attorney General Bob Ferguson — along with his counterparts from New York, California, Maryland, Massachusetts and Oregon — asked the court to extend its injunction to block the new order, as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"What we're looking at is what Donald Trump said when he was running for president,\" Ferguson told NPR's \u003cem>Morning Edition\u003c/em>. \"He said he wanted to create a Muslim ban.\" Ferguson argues that's \"strong evidence that the intent behind these executive orders was actually less about national security and more about a Muslim ban.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's a charge the White House denies. Lawyers for the Department of Justice say the president has broad authority when it comes to border security. And they say the 90-day travel ban is needed to shore up vetting procedures from six countries that either are state sponsors of terrorism or have harbored terrorists.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Maryland\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two refugee rights groups are challenging the revised travel ban in Maryland with help from the American Civil Liberties Union and the National Immigration Law Center. They're asking the court to block the second travel ban order \"in its entirety.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Department of Justice lawyer Jeffrey Wall argued that the executive order \"doesn't say anything about religion\" and \"doesn't send a religious message.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the plaintiffs say this is a Muslim ban, like Trump proposed on the campaign trail. Lee Gelernt of the ACLU tells NPR that the context of the order, including Trump's campaign statements, should be considered and makes the order's intent clear.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The purpose of this was to ban Muslims and we are hopeful that the judge, like other courts, will ... not turn a blind eye to what's happening — that the administration just made certain tweaks to get around a court order but still has the same policy purpose,\" Gelernt said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>U.S. District Judge Theodore Chuang said he would rule soon, but not necessarily Wednesday.\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like the original travel ban, the revised version suspends the U.S. refugee program for 120 days. It also cuts the number of refugees the U.S. will accept this year by more than half, from 110,000 to 50,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are some changes, as well. Refugees from Syria are no longer banned indefinitely. And the revised order drops language that was intended to favor religious minorities, which Trump signaled would apply to persecuted Christians from the Middle East.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When the White House announced the second travel ban last week, Attorney General Jeff Sessions offered some new support for the temporary freeze on refugee resettlement. \"More than 300 people who came here as refugees are under FBI investigation for potential terrorism-related activities,\" Sessions said. But the Department of Justice declined to provide further information about the nature of those cases or which countries those refugees came from.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Refugee resettlement organizations argue that there's no legitimate reason for the ban. They say it would cause lasting harm to them and the people they assist.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's not just about picking up refugees at the airport,\" said Mark Hetfield, CEO of HIAS, one of the nine major resettlement agencies and a plaintiff in the Maryland case. On a conference call with reporters, Hetfield said that agencies like his offer a range of services, such as help locating and furnishing apartments, finding a job and getting kids signed up for school. If the refugee program is suspended, Hetfield says, it will be \"very difficult to get things going again.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Hawaii\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The third hearing is scheduled at 3:30 p.m. ET in Hawaii, in a case brought by the state of Hawaii and a local imam.

The order temporarily halts the U.S. refugee program and travel from six mostly Muslim countries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some state attorneys general and immigration advocates were able to get the first order suspended. Judges in Maryland, Washington state and Hawaii are hearing challenges Wednesday to the new one.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The White House says the executive order Trump signed on March 6 is urgently needed to protect national security. But critics counter that both executive orders are really intended to block immigration from Muslim countries, in violation of the Constitution.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here's a look at what to expect in three closely watched cases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Washington state\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Federal District Judge James L. Robart — who blocked much of the White House's first travel ban last month — held a hearing at 5 p.m. ET in Seattle. The case was brought by four citizens or permanent residents in Washington who argue that access to visas for their family members would be disrupted by the revised travel ban.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Robart has already ruled against the Trump administration once before; his ruling was later upheld by the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. Rather than defend its original travel ban, the Trump administration replaced it with a new one that the White House argues is \"substantially different.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The revised executive order temporarily blocks entry by travelers from six mostly Muslim countries, not seven. (Iraq was dropped from the list.) And the new order makes clear that it doesn't apply to lawful permanent residents, also known as green card holders, or to people holding valid visas issued before the ban takes effect.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But those changes aren't enough to satisfy Washington state and Minnesota, which brought the challenge to the original travel ban. Washington Attorney General Bob Ferguson — along with his counterparts from New York, California, Maryland, Massachusetts and Oregon — asked the court to extend its injunction to block the new order, as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"What we're looking at is what Donald Trump said when he was running for president,\" Ferguson told NPR's \u003cem>Morning Edition\u003c/em>. \"He said he wanted to create a Muslim ban.\" Ferguson argues that's \"strong evidence that the intent behind these executive orders was actually less about national security and more about a Muslim ban.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's a charge the White House denies. Lawyers for the Department of Justice say the president has broad authority when it comes to border security. And they say the 90-day travel ban is needed to shore up vetting procedures from six countries that either are state sponsors of terrorism or have harbored terrorists.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Maryland\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two refugee rights groups are challenging the revised travel ban in Maryland with help from the American Civil Liberties Union and the National Immigration Law Center. They're asking the court to block the second travel ban order \"in its entirety.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Department of Justice lawyer Jeffrey Wall argued that the executive order \"doesn't say anything about religion\" and \"doesn't send a religious message.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the plaintiffs say this is a Muslim ban, like Trump proposed on the campaign trail. Lee Gelernt of the ACLU tells NPR that the context of the order, including Trump's campaign statements, should be considered and makes the order's intent clear.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The purpose of this was to ban Muslims and we are hopeful that the judge, like other courts, will ... not turn a blind eye to what's happening — that the administration just made certain tweaks to get around a court order but still has the same policy purpose,\" Gelernt said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>U.S. District Judge Theodore Chuang said he would rule soon, but not necessarily Wednesday.\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like the original travel ban, the revised version suspends the U.S. refugee program for 120 days. It also cuts the number of refugees the U.S. will accept this year by more than half, from 110,000 to 50,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are some changes, as well. Refugees from Syria are no longer banned indefinitely. And the revised order drops language that was intended to favor religious minorities, which Trump signaled would apply to persecuted Christians from the Middle East.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When the White House announced the second travel ban last week, Attorney General Jeff Sessions offered some new support for the temporary freeze on refugee resettlement. \"More than 300 people who came here as refugees are under FBI investigation for potential terrorism-related activities,\" Sessions said. But the Department of Justice declined to provide further information about the nature of those cases or which countries those refugees came from.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Refugee resettlement organizations argue that there's no legitimate reason for the ban. They say it would cause lasting harm to them and the people they assist.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's not just about picking up refugees at the airport,\" said Mark Hetfield, CEO of HIAS, one of the nine major resettlement agencies and a plaintiff in the Maryland case. On a conference call with reporters, Hetfield said that agencies like his offer a range of services, such as help locating and furnishing apartments, finding a job and getting kids signed up for school. If the refugee program is suspended, Hetfield says, it will be \"very difficult to get things going again.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Hawaii\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The third hearing is scheduled at 3:30 p.m. ET in Hawaii, in a case brought by the state of Hawaii and a local imam. As in the other cases, lawyers argue that the travel ban discriminates against Muslims. They say the executive order would harm the economy of Hawaii by disrupting tourism and educational institutions that depend on tuition from foreign students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Department of Justice rejects that claim as speculation.

At the only accredited Muslim college in the United States, students spend a lot of time thinking about what it means to be American.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zaytuna is located on ‘‘Holy Hill’’ in Berkeley, just around the corner from the Graduate Theological Union, a consortium of Christian seminaries affiliated with University of California, Berkeley. The college emerged from the Zaytuna Institute, an Islamic educational organization founded in nearby Hayward in 1996.

That’s not what it’s about.’’\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bhardwaj is a convert to Islam. He was raised Hindu. Both of his parents are from Rajasthan in northern India.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bhardwaj says he was ‘‘Islamaphobic’’ in college. But after graduating from University of California, Irvine, with a degree in business administration, he got what he describes as his ‘‘dream job,’’ working for a major league baseball team doing statistics for scouting and player development. While traveling with the team, he became disillusioned. ‘‘We had players who were married,’’ he says, ‘‘and that just went out the window when they were out at the clubs. It was all about seeking immediate satisfaction. I started asking myself, ‘What are you doing? What benefit does baseball provide society anyway? What is the purpose of life?’’’\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Around that time, a Muslim friend shared some Islamic lectures with Bhardwaj. ‘‘I opened a Koran and started reading it, and it worked,’’ he says. Bhardwaj decided to travel in the Muslim world and quit his job. He and his friend went to Egypt. It was there that Bhardwaj converted, while studying with a local sheik in 6th of October City outside Cairo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There was tension when he returned home. ‘‘I don’t think I’ve ever made my mom cry except for two times,’’ he says, ‘‘and one of those times was when I told her I converted.’’\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bhardwaj says his mother has become supportive after seeing how he has found his place at Zaytuna. Bhardwaj was drawn to the college to study Islamic principles of economics and transactional law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>‘‘I think Muslims have a lot to offer in the field of finance,’’ he says, especially given ‘‘the corruption on Wall Street.’’\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Thinking Outside the Mosque\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zaytuna’s coordinator of learning outside the classroom, Dawood Yasin, says the college wants students ‘‘to think outside the masjid,’’ using the Arabic word for mosque. ‘‘How are we going to engage the broader community if we’re only working within our own community?’’\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yasin is also a convert. He was raised Catholic and is a fourth-generation native of Nantucket, Massachusetts. So it’s pretty ironic, he says, ‘‘when people give me the finger and say, ‘Go back to your country!’’’\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yasin worked as a fashion model in the 1990s in New York, Paris, and South Africa. It was while working in South Africa that he converted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>‘‘A lot of times conversion stories are about hitting rock bottom, but I was doing quite well in South Africa, doing TV, and print, and runway,’’ he says. ‘‘But I was asking myself, ‘What does this all mean?’’’\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After converting, Yasin backpacked around the Muslim world and studied at an Islamic seminary in Damascus, eventually coming back to the United States, working as an Arabic teaching assistant at Yale and later studying at Dartmouth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At Zaytuna, he leads service education trips with students, in which they work with non-Muslims through organizations such as Habitat for Humanity and with state forestry departments. He also sets up volunteer experiences for students at places such as domestic violence shelters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some students traveled to Ferguson, Missouri, last year after the death of Michael Brown, to work as community organizers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yasin’s focus with the students is not a ‘‘feel-good Islam,’’ he says. Yasin wants students to think about their faith in the context of issues such as poverty and the environment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>‘‘How do I buy that pint of strawberries that I know is being picked by people who don’t have access to health care or education?’’ he asks students, when ‘‘the Koran is telling me to eat that which is pure.’’\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>‘‘The Koran talks to you through the natural world,’’ Yasin says. ‘‘It’s talking about the mountains and the sky and the rivers and the stars.’’\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He adds: ‘‘The Koran serves as a reminder to you to be mindful of your responsibility.’’\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Decision to Wear Hijab\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sophomore Iman Hamze is a 19-year-old Bay Area native. A first-generation American, her mother is South African and her father is Lebanese. She was raised Muslim. Part of what attracted Hamze to Zaytuna was the chance to study Arabic intensively. She eventually wants to teach the language, ‘‘so that more people can know what the religion is really about. If you can read the Koran, you can figure out the religion for yourself, so it’s not just people feeding it to you.’’\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hamze has three older sisters, but she’s the only one of the children in her family to wear the hijab, the head covering worn by some Muslim women, which is not required at Zaytuna. ‘‘My mom wore the hijab and really wanted me to,’’ she says. ‘‘And I never really cared what people thought.’’\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Hamze, wearing the hijab hasn’t been isolating. On the contrary, it’s been a way for her to connect with non-Muslims. ‘‘I guess people have this idea of women in Islam, that they’re oppressed,’’ Hamze says. ‘‘For me the hijab is empowering. I like that it makes me stand out. People ask me about it. Or they ask me about the way I live my life. And I can talk to them and they can see that we’re just like everyone else.’’\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\"American Muslim Women Have High Goals\"\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>‘‘Things are really bleak in the Muslim world,’’ says Colleen Keyes, the dean of students at Zaytuna. ‘‘There’s so much suffering.’’\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Keyes believes these ‘‘miserable conditions’’ draw people to extremist Islamic groups. But, she says, those radical views reflect ignorance of Muslim traditions, and ‘‘people around the world are hungry for solid scholarship and thought that makes sense.’’\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Originally from New Haven, Connecticut, Keyes was raised Catholic. She converted to Islam in the late 1980s. She was teaching English at a community college and had several Muslim students. She wanted to learn more about Islam and in the process realized that the religion resonated with her in ways that Catholicism hadn’t.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her family was taken aback, especially when she began praying five times a day and fasting during Ramadan. ‘‘My mom said, ‘Can’t you find an easier religion?’’’ says Keyes. ‘‘And my sister said, ‘I give her six months.’’’\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Keyes taught at an Islamic university in the United Arab Emirates in the 1990s, before returning to the United States to work in community college administration. Keyes is the first woman in administration at Zaytuna. ‘‘Some of the women wish there were more female scholars,’’ she says. ‘‘I tell them that when they get their Ph.D. they can come back and be those female scholars. We’re waiting.’’\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She adds: ‘‘American Muslim women have high goals. As they pursue those goals, there will be change. Change has always been part of the Islamic tradition. Wherever it has gone, it has adapted to its environment. I don’t know how there could be anything but change.’’\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Anna Challet is a reporter with New America Media.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n","blocks":[],"excerpt":"At the only accredited Muslim college in the United States, students spend a lot of time thinking about what it means to be American.","status":"publish","parent":0,"modified":1450978005,"stats":{"hasAudio":false,"hasVideo":false,"hasChartOrMap":false,"iframeSrcs":[],"hasGoogleForm":false,"hasGallery":false,"hasHearkenModule":false,"hasPolis":false,"paragraphCount":39,"wordCount":1682},"headData":{"title":"Berkeley's Zaytuna College Asks Muslims to Think Outside the Mosque | KQED","description":"At the only accredited Muslim college in the United States, students spend a lot of time thinking about what it means to be American.","ogTitle":"","ogDescription":"","ogImgId":"","twTitle":"","twDescription":"","twImgId":"","schema":{"@context":"http://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","headline":"Berkeley's Zaytuna College Asks Muslims to Think Outside the Mosque","datePublished":"2015-12-24T17:26:45.000Z","dateModified":"2015-12-24T17:26:45.000Z","image":"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/KQED-OG-Image@1x.png","isAccessibleForFree":"Y","publisher":{"@type":"NewsMediaOrganization","@id":"https://www.kqed.org/#organization","name":"KQED","url":"https://www.kqed.org","logo":"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/KQED-OG-Image@1x.png"}}},"disqusIdentifier":"10806650 http://ww2.kqed.org/news/?p=10806650","disqusUrl":"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2015/12/24/berkeleys-zaytuna-college-asks-muslims-to-think-outside-the-mosque/","disqusTitle":"Berkeley's Zaytuna College Asks Muslims to Think Outside the Mosque","nprByline":"Anna Challet\u003cbr />Boom","path":"/news/10806650/berkeleys-zaytuna-college-asks-muslims-to-think-outside-the-mosque","audioTrackLength":null,"parsedContent":[{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003cp>If the American Muslim community has a tendency toward isolation, Zaytuna College is where that insularity comes to die.

About half are from California, and the rest are from other parts of the United States. Students don’t take out loans, and they graduate debt-free, although most of them receive financial assistance from the school, which is supported by individual American Muslim donors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zaytuna offers only one bachelor’s degree, in Islamic law and theology, but the curriculum combines Islamic and Western teachings.

Every week, Pen talks to movers and shakers about how the Bay Area shapes what they create, and how they shape the place we call home.","imageSrc":"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Rightnowish-Podcast-Tile-500x500-1.jpg","imageAlt":"KQED Rightnowish with Pendarvis Harshaw","officialWebsiteLink":"/podcasts/rightnowish","meta":{"site":"arts","source":"kqed","order":"5"},"link":"/podcasts/rightnowish","subscribe":{"npr":"https://www.npr.org/podcasts/721590300/rightnowish","rss":"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/programs/rightnowish/feed/podcast","apple":"https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/rightnowish/id1482187648","stitcher":"https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/kqed/rightnowish","google":"https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5tZWdhcGhvbmUuZm0vS1FJTkMxMjU5MTY3NDc4","spotify":"https://open.spotify.com/show/7kEJuafTzTVan7B78ttz1I"}},"jerrybrown":{"id":"jerrybrown","title":"The Political Mind of Jerry Brown","tagline":"Lessons from a lifetime in politics","info":"The Political Mind of Jerry Brown brings listeners the wisdom of the former Governor, Mayor, and presidential candidate.
