About this lecture

In this Ramadan lecture delivered at Zaytuna College, Imam Sohaib Webb explores the deeper spiritual and practical lessons of fasting, centering on taqwa, the remembrance of the Hereafter, and the dangers of materialism and self-absorption in modern society. He challenges students of knowledge to invest their time wisely, ground their learning in sincere practice, and develop the literacy needed to speak Islam's universal principles meaningfully to the American context.

Imam Suhaib Webb is an American scholar who embraced Islam in 1992 in Oklahoma after a youth spent as a hip-hop DJ. He studied under Senegalese Shaykh Muhammad Shareef, memorized the Qur'an, and graduated from Al-Azhar University's College of Shariah in Cairo. He served as imam of major communities including the Islamic Society of Boston Cultural Center (ISBCC) — one of the largest mosques in New England — and as scholar-in-residence institutions in New York and Washington DC. Known for his fluency in both classical scholarship and American culture, he pioneered online Islamic education through virtual mosque platforms and his SWISS institute, and speaks on fiqh, spirituality, and Muslim-American identity.
