Linda Sarsour - Shining Lights from the Quran

About this lecture

In this passionate address delivered at an ISNA convention, activist Linda Sarsour argues that Islam is fundamentally a religion of justice — and that being Muslim in America makes political engagement not optional, but obligatory. Drawing on the Quran, hadith, and the seerah of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, she challenges the Muslim American community to move beyond charitable giving and embrace active, courageous advocacy for all oppressed peoples, at home and abroad. She calls on her audience to build a legacy of moral courage that will serve generations of Muslims to come.
