Saad Tasleem - Meccan Phase of Da'wah

About this lecture

In this workshop lecture, Shaykh Saad Tasleem draws powerful parallels between the Meccan phase of the Prophet's ﷺ da'wah and the challenges facing Muslims in the West today, including being a minority, facing propaganda, and dealing with Islamophobia. He argues that da'wah is an obligation for every Muslim — not just scholars — and outlines a Qur'anic framework for responding to hostility with patience, forgiveness, and speech that is better than the evil directed at us. The lecture is a call to action for Muslims to educate themselves about their faith and to represent Islam through their character and conduct.
