At this month's forum, through a facilitated workshop we will reflect on the following verse from the Qur' an:
So set thy face to the religion, one of pure faith -
God's original upon which He originated humankind.
There is no changing God's creation.
That is the right religion;
but most men know it not. (Qur' an: 30:30).
We will reflect on the meaning of the term, fitrah, sometimes translated as 'innate nature' or 'natural disposition'. We will consider the verse in the context of the human, and also the non-human world.
Please bring a copy of the Qur' an (with translation +/- commentary) if you have one.
We will also hear feedback on recent activities, have a slot for 'Resource Cycle' <www.lineonweb.org.uk/Action/projects.htm> and will looks at ways to further publicise the 2nd main 'Fast for the Planet' event on Sun March 22nd.
No charge and open to all - simply turn up for the start time. Donations welcome.
