The Real Test of Our Faith: Standing Against Oppression

How have we come to a time where injustice is normalized, oppression is excused, and truth is silenced? This sharp contrast has shaken us again this week when a Palestinian activist, Mahmoud Khalil, is detained without charge, torn from his family, his rights stripped away for speaking out against oppression. On the other, criminals convicted of drug offenses are freed without question, because their release was requested by the powerful.  A system. A world built on hypocrisy, where power dictates justice, and oppression is rewarded. And where do we, as Muslims, stand? Are we among those who watch in silence, or are we fulfilling our divine duty to uphold justice? Listen to the Sheik as he explains what our responsibility is to standing against oppression.

Islam has given us a road map to navigate through our lives in order to succeed both in Dunya and Akhirah. We must always abide by the hukm sharai’(devine rule) in all aspects of our lives. One of the principal objectives in our commitment to this website is to provide tools from the authentic sources of Islam (Qur’an & Sunnah) to develop our Islamic Personality. Maintaining the correct Islamic Personality is vital for a Muslim to be able to avoid deviation from the right path stay strong on the path that seeks pleasure from Allah (سبحانه و تعالى ). Secondly, as Muslims living in our communities, we interact with non-Muslims on a daily basis whether at work, university, school or in society at large. It is incorrect for us to cut ourselves completely from our non-Muslim society and live in isolation. We hope inha’Allah this website provides the correct tools for building relationships with non-Muslims in order to give them da’wah to embrace Islam. It is important to always remind ourselves that our purpose in this life is to carry Islam to humanity and show them the right path thereby achieving the pleasure of Allah (سبحانه و تعالى ). Insha’Allah, with the help of Allah (سبحانه و تعالى ) and our efforts we hope to advance our readers and our own understanding and carrying Islam to others.
