Abdal Hakim Murad - Get Ramadan Ready

About this lecture

In this wide-ranging pre-Ramadan lecture, Abdal Hakim Murad explores the Quran as the final, all-encompassing revelation — one that affirms not only the Abrahamic tradition but the primordial religion of Fitrah shared by all of humanity across the ages. Drawing on Quranic verses, classical Tafsir, Hadith, anthropology, and Western philosophy, he diagnoses the modern crisis of meaning and argues that Ramadan is an invitation to reconnect with the cyclical, ecstatic, and nature-rooted dimensions of Islam that the Muslim world has increasingly lost. The lecture calls the Ummah to recover the full depth of their tradition — from the Hanifi monotheism of Ibrahim to the ancient wisdom of indigenous peoples — as the only authentic remedy for the spiritual emptiness of modern life.
