Imam Omar Suleiman reminds us to speak good or to remain silent and to assume the best of others for fear of saying something inaccurate or wrong.

In this speech, Imam Khalid Latif gives an excellent reminder of how the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ gave everyone in his society value and importance. No one was ignored or left behind, and it is our duty to do the same and take care of those around us.

The equality of all human beings, races and nations before Allah is highlighted in verse 11 of Surat Al-Hujurat, where Allah says that no race should look down on any other race and that the only thing that places one person above another is, taqwa (consciousness of Allah) and good deeds. This unseen quality that is only known to Allah is what makes you superior before Him. As Nouman Ali Khan explains, the verse singles out women who mock other women and treat them as inferior. Such a societal attitude betrays a spiritual crisis and can even breed hatred, animosity and even war, between nations.

Br. Abdur-Raheem McCarthy reflects on the events surrounding the athlete Khabib Nurmagomedev.

Yasmin Mogahed discusses the stigma around seeking assistance for the health of the mind.

With the rise of advanced technology and communication, we have found ourselves in a state where we spend a lot of our time engaging in idle talk. This has opened doors to a lot of different influences coming together, making slander and gossip much more commonplace. Apathy towards the consequences of these sins has contributed to the greater prevalence of hypocrisy among the youth. We now see people carelessly advising others without sincere intentions, preaching without practicing, calling each other “hypocrites”, and backbiting others without being aware of the heavy repercussions. The fear of being hypocritical has disappeared from the hearts of the people today, whereas during the time of the Prophet PBUH, that fear was always present among the companions.
