Join us for a guided exploration of one of the most profound spiritual biographies. Together, we’ll reflect on the life of Shaykh Ahmad al-‘Alawi and engage deeply with themes of spirituality, sainthood, and the living transmission of Sufi teachings.

This is more than a reading group, it’s a space for thoughtful discussion, critical reflection, and personal insight.

Join us on May 16 in New York City for an afternoon with Saad Khan.

In a literary landscape where Muslim voices are often either underrepresented or simplified, Khan’s work stands out for its seriousness and restraint. He writes from within a Muslim intellectual and spiritual horizon, engaging questions that many quietly carry: how faith is lived in the present, how it shifts across time and place, and how one remains anchored without reducing belief to certainty or performance.

This event centers that perspective. It is an opportunity to engage with a Muslim novelist whose work does not treat faith as background, but as something formative—shaping thought, relationships, and one’s understanding of the self. The conversation will explore what it means to write as a Muslim today, and how literature can offer a space for reflection that feels both honest and rigorous.

For those interested in seeing their experiences, questions, and traditions approached with depth rather than generalization, this will be a particularly meaningful discussion.

We invite you to join us in NYC for an afternoon of conversation, reflection, and community.
