See our catalog of lectures at www.IslamOnDemand.com Long before the terrorist attacks of September 11th, Abdullah Hakim Quick proactively prepares the Muslim community with a moving khutbah meant to deal with the fallout of such a momentous and tragic day. With keen foresight and anticipation, he looks at the concept of "furqan" (criterion) with the hope of strengthening the hearts of the believers in the face of stereotyping, profiling and widespread negative perceptions of Islam. But this criterion is not for everyone because it has certain pre-requisites that must be met for it to be effective. So what must we do, or not do, to make ourselves worthy of Allah’s help at a time when the entire Muslim ummah is under siege? Other topics discussed Kosovo, Sudan, Algeria, pre-Columbus Muslim presence in the Americas, lack of shame, the movie "The Siege", leadership, and relevant institutions. (Duration: 43 min)
