Imam Nasser Lamlum: How We All Get Free Series

Join us for Iliff’s Pulpit+ Exchange Series, an inspiring series of in-person and virtual gatherings where clergy, lay leaders, activists, scholars, ministers, journalists, and community organizers come together to wrestle with the most pressing questions of our time. Together, we’ll explore powerful stories of hope, healing, and action—each rooted in a shared vision of justice and liberation.

At a time when communities across the globe are wrestling with division and inequity, faith leaders are uniquely positioned to help chart a path forward and answer the urgent call for justice. Imam Nasser Lamlum believes that joint efforts between religions are praiseworthy and blessed when their goal is to achieve justice and serve humanity.

In this talk, he will share insights from his journey as a multigenerational mosque leader, educator, advocate, and interfaith partner. Drawing on his experiences that span youth mentorship, community organizing, and collaborative work across religious and civic spaces, he will explore how Islam calls for cooperation in goodness and spreading peace among all people. This talk will weave together stories on how working together for justice and mercy reflects the universal human values that Islam promotes for all people – regardless of their faith, color, or language.

Imam Nasser believes that it is the duty of imams and community leaders to contribute to this cooperation by promoting constructive dialogue and mutual respect among followers of different faiths, and by organizing joint initiatives to serve the community and help those in need. As an advocate to guide the youth, he understands that justice is a profound moral and spiritual value and in Islam, justice is not merely a social choice; it is a religious obligation and a reflection of sincere faith.

Imam Nasser Lamlum is the Imam and Community Leader at the Denver Islamic Society. He leads a congregation of more than a thousand people, with people from different backgrounds and countries, languages and nationalities. He has extensive experience in religious and theological research, based on a robust academic background, Quranic memorization in various Arabic narrations, and with an unmatched depth in the Arabic language, its culture, and people.
