Abdul Nasir Jangda – Representing Islam

About this lecture

In this closing lecture from a Ramadan night program, Sheikh Abdul Nasir Jangda reflects on a powerful dua from Surah Yunus, unpacking the dual meaning of the word *fitnah* to deliver a sobering call to self-accountability: Muslims must not only avoid being oppressed by wrongdoers, but must ensure they never become the reason others turn away from Islam. Drawing on the Prophet's ﷺ character, the story of Tufail ibn Amr and the tribe of Daws, and the Prophet's ﷺ tender empathy with his stuttering grandson Hussain, the lecture urges Muslims to embody the values of Islam — honesty, mercy, forgiveness, and compassion — as the most powerful means of conveying the faith. The talk concludes with a practical challenge to make a firm *'azm* (resolve) to become a better person, and to prove one's sincerity to Allah by continuing to worship and reflect even after Ramadan ends.
