T A Razzaq

[Lucy Ginsburg]

HamadAlabdulrazzaq (Razzaq), MD has served as a clinical instructor at several institutions, including Dartmouth College, the University of Florida, and the Kuwait dermatology residency program. He has presented nationally on his clinical research, and has been published in peer-reviewed journals including Lasers in Surgery and Medicine and JAMA Dermatology.

The Museum of Durham History received a grant from the Doris Duke Foundation for Islamic Art to collaborate with current and former members of Ar-Razzaq Islamic Center to develop an educational exhibition on one of the oldest Muslim communities in North Carolina. Over the course of a year, this project will explore the history of Ar-Razzaq and its economic, political, and cultural impact on Durham and the state of North Carolina. It will culminate in an exhibition slated for early 2018. Follow along at www.arrazzaqhistoryproject.wordpress.com

Volunteers from the Museum of Durham History, Ar-Razzaq Islamic Center, As Salaam Islamic Center (Raleigh), and Duke Muslim Students Association digitized and documented more than 50 photos, pamphlets, books, letters scrapbooks, school uniforms, and other treasures. We also recorded about 25 stories and memories in audio and video form. Everyone enjoyed bean soup and whole wheat rolls thanks to Beatrice Sabir and Verbina Sabir.
