"Let There be Islam First"

•  

• May 30, 1976

Tape recording of a lecture by Egyptian Muslim activist and author, Zainab al-Ghazali, at the 1976 MSA convention.

Notes: It was common for the MSA convention to bring speakers from Muslim-majority nations, like al-Ghazali (1917‐2005), committed to dawah among Muslims and advocates for an Islamic political system that would bring greater justice and equity to society. Al-Ghazali was persecuted by the Egyptian government for her activities; this talk took place 5 years after her release from prison.
