About this lecture

In this engaging and thought-provoking lecture, Sheikh Mohammed Faqih explores the Islamic foundations of fairness, justice, and balance, drawing on the work of classical scholar Sheikh Abdul Rahman al-Maydani and the example of Umar ibn al-Khattab to show that true justice flows from a love of truth and submission to divine guidance. He challenges common misconceptions that justice means strict equality, arguing instead that it means giving each person their divinely ordained right — illustrated through examples in marriage law, civil courts, and personal ethics. The lecture also covers related themes including forgiveness, accountability in the Hereafter, and how to seek redemption when you have wronged someone.

Shaykh Mohammed Faqih is the doctor of etiquettes and mannerisms. His style in fashion and stride in walk makes you say “that man’s fit to be president”. Shaykh Mohammed has melted the hearts with lessons in tazkiya, akhlaq, and even self-discovery and psychology. Shaykh Mohammed traces his roots back to the ancient city of Harar in the Horn of Africa. Originally from Yemen, his forefathers immigrated to East Africa and played a central role in the Islamic history of the region. He completed a B.A. in Islamic Studies from the Institute of Islamic and Arabic Sciences in America in Fairfax, VA, and graduated in Qur’an Memorization and Recitation from Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. He was the Imam at the Islamic Community Center of Laurel in Laurel, MD and at the Islamic Center of San Diego in San Diego, CA. He currently serves as Imam at the Islamic Institute of Orange County, otherwise known as Masjid Omar Farouk.
