What questions were Shaykh Abdul Nasir Jangda and his team keen on addressing in founding Qalam Institute and envisioning a sustainable Islamic institution of higher learning? How do we build institutions that don't become victims of 'the algorithm', and how is the American Muslim community changing over time?

We ask Allah SWT to have mercy on the father of Sh Abdul Nasir, Abdul Hamid Jangda, who passed away this past week. He was a founding pioneer in the greater Dallas Muslim community and an integral part of building the current Dallas Muslim community.
