Johari Abdul Malik - Slavery, Freedom & The Five

About this lecture

In this powerful Jumu'ah khutbah, Imam Johari Abdul Malik connects the history of enslaved African Muslims in America to the five essential necessities of Islamic law — the Maqasid al-Shari'ah — demonstrating how each one was systematically stripped away during the era of the transatlantic slave trade. He then shifts to a message of hope and empowerment, calling on Muslims to be proud of their deen, make da'wah without fear, and invest in Islamic institutions like Dar Hijra that preserve and pass on this legacy.
