Why Every Muslim Needs To Take Muharram Seriously

About this lecture

In this powerful lecture, the speaker uses the Islamic New Year and the story of the Hijrah — the Prophet Muhammad's ﷺ migration from Mecca to Medina — to call Muslims to meaningful self-reflection and action. Drawing on the remarkable moment in the Cave of Thawr and the institution-building that followed in Medina, he challenges Muslims to break free from complacency, trust in Allah's support, and actively contribute to the flourishing of Islam in their communities. The lecture concludes with an inspiring reminder from the story of Mus'ab ibn Umair — that one committed individual can change the world.
