Given the unique global climate, Shaykh Haeri agreed to record a series of “Uncommon Dialogues” with different thinkers from across the globe. We welcome you to catch up with those that have already happened, and to schedule some time to enjoy those still to come. The month of Ramadan is a sacred one for all, and we hope that you will be able to use these reflections to assist your passage through this particular and special time.
