This Friday sermon was delivered at the Muslim Community Center - East Bay (MCC East Bay) in Pleasanton, California on November 2, 2012.
Adnan Adrian Wood-Smith is an award-winning educator, speaker, and author on Qur’anic spirituality. After graduating from his Ivy League college as valedictorian, he learnt the hard way that his desire for academic and career success must not override his true sense of mission in life. Since then, he has been committed to helping others define and defend their purpose so that they can find true community with others who share their deep intentionality in the world.
He has mentored hundreds as a denominational counselor at Harvard Divinity School, Muslim Chaplain at Brown University, and Student life Coordinator at Zaytuna College, as well as through various volunteer positions, including his tenure as President of RICMA, the umbrella organization for the Muslim community in Rhode Island. Adnan is nearing completion of his PhD in Religion at Harvard University, and has received numerous traditional licenses (ijazat) to teach Islamic spiritual mentorship, jurisprudence, Qur’anic Arabic, and other subjects from master teachers in West Africa, Syria, and California.
