Cosantino of Paros

In this 24th instalment of our popular 'Paradigms of Leadership' lecture series, Shaykh Abdal Hakim Murad explores the untold story of European Islam in the life and times of Cosantino of Paros: a Greek convert to Islam who was interrogated by the inquisition in Malta in 1638.

What is Paradigms of Leadership?

Muslim history brims with detailed accounts of incredible leaders. Some are better known than others but they all demonstrated a range of beautiful leadership qualities that we can learn from today.

In Paradigms of Leadership – an ongoing Lecture Series – Shaykh Abdal Hakim Murad chooses exemplary figures in Islamic history of every generation, geography and gender, drawing out particular lessons for us: both in the way they carried themselves through society and in the principles they employed in handling the urgent challenges of their day.
