To Know Islam

Understanding the Principles of Islam

May 25th – May 30th, 2008, Jordan - Israel

About the Seminar

This week-long seminar provides an uncommon perspective on the culture and world of Islam, and offers tools for working and operating in an Islamic and Arabic environment.

This unique program provides participants with an appreciation of the Muslim Arab culture, and offers solutions for day-to-day interactions with people of Muslim origin. The program helps participants understand the Arab way of thinking, and develop and apply the skill sets to interact with people of the Muslim faith.

Why is Understanding Islam Important?

The influence of the Islamic religion is spreading quickly throughout the world. Exposure to the Muslim culture has become part of everyday life in the West. What was once considered a secluded and non-influential culture has now become a major factor in global politics, economics, business and security, a trend that is expected to further intensify.

In this day and age, understanding the basics of Islam and its culture, for many professions, is a requirement as well as a responsibility.

Understanding Islam can help meet the challenges that this culture presents to foreigners as well as raise awareness of potential dangers related to the expansion of the religion’s radical components.

Obtaining insight on Islamic principles and appreciating the differences in culture is the best way to succeed in this environment. Mastering the rules of communication and avoiding social missteps are essential to developing successful relationships within the Muslim population.

Where Does the Seminar Take Place?

This dynamic program takes place in Israel and Jordan, a region where Western and Islamic cultures meet, integrate—and sometimes collide. Israel, where every development directly influences the daily routine, politics and even the international economy, is the ideal training ground to understand the forces behind scenes.

To build participants’ understanding and skills, this practical program integrates experiential tours of Arab cities and villages in Israel and Jordan with on-site simulations and theoretical study material.

Attendees encounter both, communities that have been influenced by Western culture and those that have maintained the same traditions, beliefs, norms, business practices, and leadership styles as they have been practiced for centuries.
