Navaid Aziz – I’m Muslim and I’m Proud

About this lecture

In this inspiring lecture, Sheikh Navaid Aziz explores what it truly means to be a proud Muslim, drawing on the Qur'an, Sunnah, and the stories of the companions to argue that the honor (*izzah*) of the Muslim Ummah comes only through sincere attachment to Islam. He outlines the foundational themes of the religion — monotheism, love, mercy, forgiveness, and justice — and illustrates them through vivid accounts of companions like Abdullah ibn Hudhafah, Al-Baraa ibn Malik, and Abu Dharr al-Ghifari. The lecture concludes with a practical call to action: restore the Ummah's dignity by changing oneself first, living with *ihsan*, building a strong relationship with Allah, and embodying the code of conduct of Islam in daily life.
