About this lecture

In this heartfelt lecture, Sheikh Mohammed Faqih challenges Muslims to move beyond going through the motions of life and instead live with genuine, God-centered purpose. Drawing on Quranic verses, the concept of habit formation, and real-life examples from marriage counseling, he explains that the root of many personal and communal crises — from broken marriages to aimless youth — is a lack of clarity about why we exist. He calls on believers to align their knowledge, skill, and desire with the ultimate purpose for which Allah created them.

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.
