About this lecture

In this wide-ranging lecture, Sheikh Abu Usamah addresses the Muslim community in the wake of George Floyd's murder and the social unrest of 2020, covering the Islamic response to fitna, the reality of systemic racism, and the obligation of social justice in Islam. He draws on Quranic ayat, ahadith, and examples from the lives of the companions to guide believers on how to navigate protests, Black nationalism, Pan-Africanism, and racism within the Muslim community itself — all while keeping Islam as the ultimate frame of reference.

Abu Usamah was born in New Jersey in 1964. He embraced Islam in 1986 and went onto studying in the Islamic University of Madina for eight years where he graduated from the College of Da'wah and Usool-ad-Din. Abu Usamah has been very active in da'wah since the day he embraced Islam. He has been the Imam of various mosques in the United States and in the United Kingdom. His zeal and eagerness in conveying the true message of Islam has lead him to many parts of the world, delivering lectures and seminars, as well as translating for many scholars and du'aat from the Arab world. Abu Usamah has been blessed in studying with some of the greatest scholars of our time, to name a few, Shaikh Umar Fulaatah at the Rawdah of the Prophets Mosque, Shaikh Muhammad 'Atiyyah Saalim (author of Tafsir 'Adwaa ul-Bayaan'), Shaikh Abdullah Muhammad al-Ghunaymaan, Shaikh Muhammad al-Jaami, Shaikh Saalih al-Fawzaan and many more. He was also very fortunate to have spent two summers in intensive study under Shaikh Ibn Baaz and Shaikh Ibn Uthaymin.
