Khalid Latif – Why Me, Allah?

About this lecture

In this powerful lecture, Imam Khalid Latif and Ustadh Harun Mollah address the question "Why me, Allah?" — exploring not just how individuals cope with personal suffering, but how Muslim communities must respond when those around them are in pain. Drawing on the Prophet's ﷺ example as the best of teachers, Imam Khalid challenges the habit of giving empty, one-size-fits-all answers to people dealing with abuse, trauma, and spiritual crisis, calling instead for genuine compassion and individualized care. Ustadh Harun expands the question to a collective level, examining how colonialism and historical defeat have left the Muslim world wounded and angry, and how an emotional reconnection to the Prophet ﷺ and a more honest, welcoming community can begin to heal that wound.
