Scriptural Reasoning (SR) is a practice where Christians, Jews, and Muslims study each other’s sacred texts. SR participants meet once a month to read short passages from their respective scriptures on a certain topic. Facilitated by a study leader, each session is an opportunity to listen and share various perspectives. SR sessions help participants reflect on a curious list of topics within the Abrahamic tradition. The result is often a deeper understanding of others and one’s own scriptures, as well as the development of strong bonds across faith communities.
Our study leader for this session will be Mother Sara Palmer!

Based in Fairfax, VA, the Afghan Medical Professionals Association of America (AMPAA) unites Afghan healthcare professionals in a mission-driven organization dedicated to advancing medical education and providing humanitarian care to all people. As a 501(c)3 charitable organization, AMPAA embodies a commitment to service that transcends borders, extending support to communities both within the United States and in Afghanistan.
Founded on principles of inclusivity and compassion, AMPAA has emerged as a vital bridge between Afghan medical professionals and the broader healthcare system. Since mid-August 2021, the organization has played an instrumental role in supporting U.S. government processes and refugee resettlement efforts, partnering with state departments of health, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and private sector organizations. This collaborative approach reflects AMPAA's deep understanding of the specific healthcare challenges facing Afghan refugees and displaced populations.
What distinguishes AMPAA within the Fairfax community and nationally is its culturally competent approach to medical assistance. The organization recognizes that effective healthcare requires more than clinical expertise—it demands cultural understanding, linguistic sensitivity, and genuine connection to the communities served. AMPAA's diverse board of medical professionals brings lived experience and professional credibility to every initiative. By uniting Afghan healthcare providers under a shared humanitarian vision, AMPAA creates pathways for professional growth, community support, and equitable access to medical care. The organization's non-discriminatory approach ensures that assistance reaches all individuals, reflecting a belief that quality healthcare and professional opportunity should be available to everyone, regardless of background or circumstance.
Founded in 1967, the Islamic Medical Association of North America (IMANA) emerged from a visionary gathering of Muslim physicians at a Muslim Students Association meeting in Columbus, Ohio, evolving into a dedicated independent organization serving the healthcare community in Fairfax, VA and beyond. What began as a small group of committed physicians—including founders Dr. Mobin Akhtar and Dr. Amjad Ali—has grown into a powerful network representing thousands of Muslim medical and health professionals across North America. IMANA's strength lies in the deep dedication and commitment of its members, who have volunteered countless hours over more than five decades to maximize organizational impact in relief work and educational outreach. The organization's mission centers on changing lives for those in need globally, driven by a vision of positively impacting human health through integrated, compassionate programs. IMANA has expanded its influence internationally through the Federation of Islamic Medical Associations (FIMA), established in 1981, which now represents approximately 50,000 Muslim medical professionals across 29 Islamic Medical Associations worldwide. The organization established the International Institute of Islamic Medicine (IIIM) to preserve and advance knowledge about the rich history of Islamic medicine and its foundational contributions to modern medical practice. IMANA's annual conventions bring together renowned medical leaders, ethicists, and practitioners at international destinations for dynamic professional gatherings, CME education, and meaningful community connection. Beyond professional networking, IMANA demonstrates its values through comprehensive scholarship programs supporting full-time students in medicine, pharmacy, dentistry, and allied health fields, alongside mentorship initiatives and monthly educational webinars. The organization's integrated approach combines disaster response, healthcare provision to underserved communities, development programs, and knowledge transfer—reflecting a holistic commitment to serving humanity.
Established in 1993 as a non-profit 501(C)(3) organization, the Muslim American Society (MAS) is a dynamic charitable, religious, social, cultural, and educational, organization. Over the past two decades, MAS has expanded to more than 50 chapters across the United States. MAS offers unique programs and services that seek to better the individual and in turn, the greater society by imparting Islamic knowledge, promoting community service, engaging in political activism, and much more.
Over the past two decades, MAS has evolved into a nationally recognized grassroots movement. The organization is empowered by a unique chapter structure that is linked through a common mission and vision. Focusing on personal development of individuals through a comprehensive Islamic educational curriculum, MAS promotes active involvement in communities across the U.S. by providing opportunities for community service, interfaith initiatives, youth programs, and civic engagement. By cooperating and collaborating with other organizations, MAS has expanded its reach into thousands of communities across the United States.
