Abdul Nasir Jangda - #WhatMatters

About this lecture

In this lecture, Sheikh Abdul Nasir Jangda draws on Quranic verses, the story of Hilf al-Fudul, and the Prophet's ﷺ appointment of Bilal as the first muadhin to make a compelling case for Muslim engagement with social justice. He outlines three essential principles: unconditional empathy, understanding the Prophet's ﷺ direct and disruptive approach to combating racism, and the humility to listen and support rather than offer unsolicited critique. The lecture challenges Muslim communities — particularly immigrant communities in America — to align their attitudes toward movements like Black Lives Matter with the authentic teachings of the Quran and Sunnah.
