Khalid Latif - On Race, Allyship & Following Black Leadership

About this lecture

In this powerful Jumu'ah khutbah delivered during the week following Ramadan and in the immediate aftermath of the murder of George Floyd, Imam Khalid Latif delivers an unflinching call to action on racism, anti-blackness, and the moral responsibility of every Muslim to be actively anti-racist. He challenges listeners — particularly immigrant and Brown Muslim communities — to follow Black leadership, educate themselves without burdening the oppressed, and leverage their privilege, networks, and resources in meaningful allyship. The lecture concludes with a heartfelt du'a for justice, healing, and the dismantling of white supremacy in all its systemic forms.
