The MPF lecture series
The lecture series is intended to be one of MPF’s major regular activities, in line with our objectives of knowledge dissemination, intellectual engagement and dialogue on issues related Islam and Muslims in the context of Malaysia’s plural society and an increasing interdependent world. Islam as a universal faith that is embraced by diverse peoples of the world has made significant, lasting contributions to human civilization, and continues to influence world events and political trends today. This lecture series intends to bring scholars and experts to enlighten the Malaysian public at an introductory level on the various aspects of Islam and the Muslim world- politics and philosophy, art and architecture, history and culture, economics, science and technology, knowledge and spirituality and etc. It is hoped that this will further stimulate in depth reading and study on these subjects in those who have more than a passing interest in Islam. The speakers largely consist of Malaysia based experts and scholars. The lectures are held bimonthly.
