What Allah Says About Name Calling

About this lecture

In this powerful lecture, the speaker explores what Allah and the Prophet ﷺ teach us about the use of labels — how our enemies have always tried to distort our reality through name-calling, and how Muslims are called to insist on their own God-given identity with dignity and confidence. Drawing on Quranic verses, stories from the Seerah, and the famous hadith about the "strangers," the speaker connects these timeless lessons to the challenges Muslims face today, including being labeled as extremists or backwards for holding firm to their values. The lecture also addresses how Muslims must be careful with the labels they use toward others — both non-Muslims and fellow believers.
