Downtown
San Francisco
We set out 2 months ago with one goal:
To bring the brightest minds in the Muslim world under one roof.
And we did it to prove a point.
That as a community, it's time to raise the bar of what we think we're capable of.
To move beyond trying to be the best "Muslim" version of anything.
And to aim to just be the best.
And this weekend, it felt like we made real progress towards that.
Alhamdulilah.
I hope you left with something valuable.
Whether it was a new perspective, even just one meaningful connection, or a new idea for what’s next for you.
Thank you for being a part of Alif Summit.
