Another must-listen by our esteemed scholar, Dr. Sherman Jackson. To add and summarize, American Muslims must stop seeing their Islam as second class, as some great cosmic mishap, but rather, see their Islam in the Light of lights, in the light God. Perhaps then we will realize our greatness, not as an exercise in self-indulgence, but as a Sign amongst signs of the unlimited bounty of God the Majestic.
I completely agree. Another important message he shared was that in order for us to really connect with God, we must connect with ourselves. We have to stop trying to be somebody else or judging ourselves by somebody else’s criteria. We need to discover our true God given talents so we can fulfill our purpose, whether that is business, poetry, engineering, writing, etc. Very inspiring, especially now.
