Yasir Qadhi - Racism in America and the Role of American Muslims In Combatting It

About this lecture

In this Friday khutbah, Shaykh Yasir Qadhi delivers a powerful and data-driven address on the history of anti-Black racism in America and the Islamic obligation to combat it. Drawing from the Quran, the Seerah, and the Farewell Sermon, he demonstrates that fighting racism was a consistent and central priority of Islam from its earliest days — not a peripheral concern. He calls on Muslim communities, especially immigrant Muslims, to educate themselves on African American history, build bridges across racial divides within their own masajid, and actively eliminate racist language and attitudes within their own ranks.
