About this lecture

In this khutbah delivered in the immediate aftermath of the Christchurch, New Zealand mosque shootings of March 2019, Sheikh Abdullah Hakim Quick offers Islamic context, comfort, and a call to action for the Muslim community. Drawing on verses from Surah Ali Imran and the example of the Prophet ﷺ after the Battle of Uhud, he addresses the rise of Islamophobia globally, analyzes the ideology behind the attack, and urges Muslims to respond with unity, vigilance, faith, and steadfastness rather than fear or despair.
