Suhaib Webb - Understanding Purpose and Power

About this lecture

In this khutbah, Imam Suhaib Webb explores two core principles of Islamic faith: honoring human dignity (*ta'krim*) and belief in the hereafter — framing both as the foundation for purposeful living and meaningful public engagement. Drawing on Quranic verses, hadith, and the concept of *mulk* (divine sovereignty), he challenges Muslims to see their talents, time, and resources as sacred trusts from Allah that must be actively used for good. The lecture weaves together reflections on Malcolm X, activism, community division, and personal accountability into a compelling call to strength, intentionality, and spiritual resilience.
