Is Islam a Religion of Peace?

About this lecture

In this Friday khutbah, delivered against the backdrop of rising Islamophobia in Plano, Texas, the speaker breaks down the foundational meaning of Islam and what it truly means to be a Muslim — drawing on a lesson from renowned Quranic scholar Shaykh Abdullah al-Shamqiti. He explains that Islam is not simply "peace," but a active system of surrender to Allah whose end goal is peace in this life and the next, and that the word "Muslim" is not a label but a verb describing one who actively lives that submission. The lecture also addresses Muslim life in America, the importance of knowing your constitutional rights, the true meaning of Sharia, and the opportunity Islamophobia presents for the Muslim community to demonstrate Islam's beauty through their conduct.
