A bigger and stronger platform
The 62nd Annual ISNA Convention concluded with a resounding sense of energy, purpose, and renewed resolve. From August 29 to September 1, 2025, the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, Illinois, became a bustling hub where faith, service, scholarship, and community life converged under the theme 'Renewing the American Spirit: Prophetic Ideals for Challenging Times.' An estimated 20,000 attendees poured through the doors over the four days. The convention featured more than 200 speakers and over 64 sessions across three tracks—ISNA, MSA, and MYNA—covering mental health, interfaith dialogue, prophetic guidance, education, finance, civic engagement, and pressing global concerns such as Palestine, Syria, and Kashmir. The Community Service Recognition Luncheon drew over 500 attendees, where Imam Zaid Shakir received the Community Service Recognition Award and Dr. Sherman Jackson delivered the keynote on indigenizing Islam in America. The convention also featured a free community health fair, a film festival, an art exhibit, a Green Initiative recognizing sustainable mosques, and a Qiraat Competition. Fundraising efforts met their target, ensuring support for ISNA's ongoing programs
