Shaykh Abdur-Rahman has the unique experience of serving as an imam in Muslim communities on both sides of the Atlantic, eight years in Southern California and over five in the great city of London—and his continued work as an international speaker and lecturer enables him to address and offer pertinent advice on current challenges that face Muslims in the West. He is the founder of Whitethread Institute, a post-graduate institute for Islamic scholars. He is an avid traveller and continues to teach hadith and work on scholarly publications through White Thread Press. Many of his lectures are available on www.zamzamacademy.com and his courses through Rayyan Institute (www.rayyaninstitute.com).
Ismail Adam Patel is the chairman of Friends of Al Aqsa a non-profit making organisation concerned with the defence of basic human rights of Palestinians as supported by various international groups and organisations. It also stands for the protection and safety of Al-Aqsa Haram Sharif (The First Qibla) in Al Quds (Jerusalem).
He is a graduate from UMIST UK and an Optometrist by profession. He is a regular contributor to discussions, debates and articles in the media and international forums on issues affecting Muslims in general and Palestine in particular.
Arwa Aburawa works across continents and mediums to tell the stories of people on the frontlines of climate change and public health problems. She is a freelance print journalist based in London, where she was previously a staff producer at Al Jazeera.
Arriving in Mexico City from London, Arwa hit the ground running in our Hostile Environment Training. She is a Guatemala Adelante fellow, reporting on water rights and indigenous communities. This is her first time reporting in Guatemala, and she says, “I was keen to broaden my horizons and report in such an important region for environmental and climate issues.”
While her start was at newspapers in the UK.
“Print is very solitary, and you have a lot of control,” she says. “Film you have a much bigger team. I like doing a bit of both.”
Arwa is from Manchester, Growing up in the UK, she often travelled to Jordan with her family.
After studying Politics and Modern History as an undergraduate, Arwa completed a master’s degree in International Journalism. Since then, she has reported from countries including Iran, Burkina Faso, Uganda and El Salvador.
A decade into her career, she has developed a unique beat, highlighting communities in developing countries impacted by environmental and public health pressures. In a 2016 feature for Al Jazeera, she reported on the epidemic of CKDu, a chronic form of kidney disease, among sugar cane workers in El Salvador. Al Jazeera documents how Iran’s water crisis impacts farmers and food security.
She says that her reporting in Iran was both “the most difficult and the most fun” of her many international reporting trips. Arwa doesn’t shy away from reporting in conflict zones, and her work brings out the underlying factors in a conflict that are often under-reported: water, land rights, economic marginalization.
Arwa applied for an Adelante fellowship to Guatemala to report on indigenous communities advocating for water rights and other environmental justice issues.
“People in developing nations are going to be the worst affected [by climate change], and I’ve always been curious about inequality and climate change,” she says. Applying her unique reporting lens, Arwa is poised to uncover important environmental stories in Guatemala.
