Mokhtar Maghroui – Muhammad: Model of Faith, Justice & Liberty

About this lecture

This lecture opens the 10th Annual Masjid Ikhlaq Convention on the theme "Muhammad: Model of Faith, Justice, and Liberty," featuring a panel of prominent scholars. Sheikh Mokhtar Maghroui delivers the opening address, exploring the concept of taqwa (God-consciousness) as the spiritual foundation of the Prophet's model, illustrating how true taqwa means guarding one's power and tongue from violating the rights of others — not merely performing acts of worship. Dr. Jamal Badawi then begins an exploration of the Islamic concept of justice (*'adl*), examining how it differs from conventional Western definitions.
