Join us for an intimate conversation with a SILS alumnus and one of Japan\u2019s early second-generation Muslims, as he reflects on his evolving relationship with faith and culture. The son of a Pakistani father and a Japanese mother, he once felt the need to suppress his Muslim background to better blend into Japanese society.<\/div>\n
But formative encounters at SILS sparked a journey of rediscovery\u2014raising questions not just about identity, but about truth, purpose, and how best to live a life of service. His path has since led him to establish youth support initiatives, pursue soul-searching studies at Harvard, and begin a career with an eye toward social impact.<\/div>\n
Today, he continues to explore how a grounded, joyful, and relevant expression of faith might take shape in Japan\u2014empowering himself and the next generation to navigate identity with confidence and fostering harmony in an increasingly diverse country.<\/div>\n
