About this lecture

In this heartfelt lecture, Sheikh Mohammed Faqih explores the role of the ego in our personal conflicts and relationships, drawing on Quranic descriptions of human nature — including our ignorance, anxiety, and greed — to help us extend grace to ourselves and others. He challenges listeners to stop projecting blame onto other people's egos and instead turn inward, reconciling with their own flaws and with Allah. The lecture closes with a powerful call to engage honestly with the Quran as a guide to understanding what it truly means to be human.

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.
