About this lecture

In this powerful solidarity khutbah, Imam Suhaib Webb addresses the killing of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin while weaving together themes of divine justice, the prohibition of oppression in Islam, and the spiritual disease of feeling self-sufficient from Allah. Drawing on Quranic verses, a profound Hadith Qudsi, and real stories from his community, Imam Webb calls Muslims to fight oppression both within their own souls and in society at large, while challenging racism within Muslim communities and urging civic engagement in America.

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.
