Fractured World, Uncertain Future: Islam, Justice, and Humanity in Turbulent Times

This year’s theme reflects on the challenges of our turbulent times — from global crises and conflict to questions of justice, humanity, and coexistence. Through keynote lectures, panel discussions, and roundtables, participants will explore critical issues such as governance, interfaith relations, social cohesion, Islamophobia, migration, and human rights.
