Ā
In Light without Fire, Scott Korb tells the story of the founders of Zaytuna College, Sheikh Hamza Yusuf and Imam Zaid Shakir, arguably the two most influential leaders in American Islam, who, tellingly, are little known outside their community. Korb also introduces us to Zaytunaās students, young American Muslims of all stripes who admireāindeed, loveātheir teachers in ways college students typically donāt and whose stories, told for the first time, signal the future of Islam in this country.
Ā
From a heady theology classroom to a vibrant storefront mosque, from the run-down streets Oakland to grand ballrooms echoing with Americaās most powerful Muslim voices, Korb follows Zaytunaās students and teachers as they find their place and their voice. He ultimately creates an intimate portrait of the school and provides a new introduction to Islam as it is being lived and re-envisioned in America. Itās no exaggeration to say that here, at Zaytuna, are tomorrowās Muslim leaders.
