The concept of wilāya is central to the Islamic tradition. It is, simultaneously, a political concept, a legal category, and a spiritual ideal. The three speakers will each address different aspects of the ethical duties that arise out of the concept of wilāya in the Islamic tradition: wilāya as part of the ethical commitments of Islamic political thought; how ethical duties constitute and define the idea of wilāya in the domain of law (fiqh); and wilāya as a kind of ethical practice representing moral aspiration in Sufism.
