Summary: Short talk program is an educational program by The Educational Committee held at the Islamic Center of Raleigh. The talks are held after Fajr and Maghrib/Isha prayers throughout the week.

Between November - March the FNP is held after Isha prayers and switches to Maghrib prayers during the rest of the year. The approximate duration of a short talk is about 5-10 minutes, with the exception of talks held on weekends which are held for an hour.

Topics covered during this program may include:
  1. Islamic Creed
  2. Islamic Law
  3. Family Issues
  4. Contemporary Islamic Issues
  5. Community Issues

The Education Committee considers the following criteria for this program:
  1. Encouraging individuals/organizations to present the short talks
  2. Maintaining a schedule/calendar to plan short talks several weeks/months in advance
  3. Providing presenters with a time frame (i.e. Mondays after Isha for 8 weeks)
  4. Advertising short talk program via internet and flyers
  5. Promoting diversity in terms of ethnicity, gender, culture, age, and perspective

TEC and Presenter Expectations can be found here.
