Muslims Are Growing, Yet Our Voice Is Getting Weaker | Islamophobia & Future of Our Community03 Oct 202600:35:22

Over the past four decades, the Muslim community in North America has grown from small gatherings in homes and basements into established masjids, schools, institutions, businesses, and community organizations.But with that growth comes an important question: Have we continued to clearly communicate and represent the core message of Islam?In this Jumu'ah Khutbah, Imam Azhar Subedar reflects on the growth of the Muslim community and the responsibility that comes with it. He explains why institutions, professional success, charitable work, and community development are important, but cannot replace the responsibility of understanding and communicating Islam.Drawing lessons from the Quran and the examples of Ibrahim and Musa, the khutbah explores the importance of proactively communicating the message of Islam rather than allowing others to define it for us.The lecture also uses familiar examples from brands such as Coca-Cola and McDonald's to explain why a consistent message matters. The same principle applies to how Muslims represent their faith through their words, character, actions, and everyday interactions.Ultimately, the reminder turns the responsibility back toward each individual Muslim: learn your faith, understand what Islam teaches, recognize how its message is being represented, and take responsibility for representing Islam with knowledge, confidence, and good character.📌 What You Will Learn• How the Muslim community in North America has developed over the past four decades• Why building institutions is only part of the community's responsibility• The importance of reaffirming Islam's core message• Lessons from Ibrahim and Musa on communicating the truth• What Muslims can learn from consistent messaging and branding• Why others should not be allowed to define the story of Islam• The mission of Prophet Muhammad to convey the message• Why every Muslim has a role in representing Islam• How Islam is demonstrated through character and action• Why learning your faith is essential to representing it accurately⏳ Chapters00:00 The Growth of the Muslim Community in North America05:48 A New Generation of Muslim Professionals07:51 The One Area Where We Fell Behind09:03 Why Reaffirming Our Core Message Matters11:25 Lessons From Ibrahim and Musa13:35 What Does It Mean to "Market" Islam?14:01 What Coca-Cola Can Teach Us About Branding15:15 When Others Define Your Story16:19 The Mission of Prophet Muhammad19:31 What Is Our Response?22:04 Islam Is Demonstrated Through Action23:31 Take Responsibility for Your Role24:38 Learn Your Faith and Understand the Narrative26:33 Final Reminder and Dua🎤 About The SpeakerImam Azhar Subedar is an Islamic speaker who delivers reminders rooted in the Quran and Sunnah, addressing the spiritual and social responsibilities of Muslims in contemporary society.📺 Watch LiveWatch live on YouTube and Instagram:@israfoundation🤝 Support ISRAhttps://israfoundation.com/support📅 Eventshttps://www.israfoundation.com/events🌐 Websitehttps://israfoundation.com📍 ISRA HQ930 W.

When Your Good Deeds Make You Arrogant | The Hidden Trap of Shaitan | Mufti Wasim Khan01 Oct 202601:05:17

Sometimes Shaitan does not need to make you stop doing good. He can make you feel better than everyone else because of the good you do.In this Jumu'ah Khutbah, Mufti Wasim Khan explores one of the most subtle dangers on the path toward Allah: when worship, knowledge, religious practice, or good deeds begin feeding the ego instead of humbling the heart.The lecture examines how pride can slowly enter our worship, relationships, communities, social media, and even acts of service. A person may become more religious while simultaneously becoming more judgmental toward those around them.Through the story of Iblis, reflections on the nafs, and practical examples from everyday life, Mufti Wasim Khan explains how to recognize the ego, challenge it, and protect our deeds through genuine ikhlas.The reminder also highlights why we should never underestimate small good deeds or judge another Muslim by what we see. The deed that seems insignificant to us may be the very deed that Allah accepts.📌 What You Will Learn• How Shaitan can use good deeds to create arrogance• Why getting closer to Allah can sometimes make the nafs feel superior• Lessons from the downfall of Iblis• How to recognize pride in everyday life• Practical ways to humble the nafs• How ego affects relationships and disagreements• Why doing good deeds privately can protect sincerity🎤 About The SpeakerMufti Wasim Khan is an Islamic scholar and speaker known for practical reminders rooted in the Quran and Sunnah, with a focus on helping Muslims strengthen their relationship with Allah and improve their character.📺 Watch LiveWatch live on YouTube and Instagram:@israfoundation🤝 Support ISRAhttps://israfoundation.com/support📅 Eventshttps://www.israfoundation.com/events🌐 Websitehttps://israfoundation.com📍 ISRA HQ930 W.

• The difference between backbiting and slander
• Why even saying something true can be backbiting
• Why Allah compares backbiting to eating the flesh of your dead brother

When Desire Becomes Your God | The Hidden Danger of Following Your Feelings | Ustadh Nouman Ali Khan05 Sep 202600:33:12

What happens when your desires become more powerful than your belief in Allāh?In this powerful Jumu'ah Khutbah, Ustadh Nouman Ali Khan explores a profound passage from the Qurʾān about people who take their desires as their god. The discussion examines how a person can have knowledge, belief, and even religious practice, yet gradually allow emotions and desires to become the ultimate standard for what they accept as right and wrong.The Khutbah explores the deeper meaning of hawa, the difference between ritual worship and true emotional devotion, and how unchecked desires can eventually prevent a person from accepting guidance.Ustadh Nouman Ali Khan also explains the Qurʾānic description of spiritual paralysis: when hearing becomes sealed, the heart becomes closed, and the eyes become unable to recognize what is happening.This is a powerful reminder to examine what truly controls our decisions, emotions, priorities, and relationship with Allāh.📌 What You Will Learn➤ The powerful meaning behind "Ra'aita" in the Qurʾān➤ How desires can gradually replace devotion to Allāh➤ The deeper meaning of hawa➤ The difference between ritual worship and emotional devotion➤ How a person can go astray despite having knowledge➤ The difference between belief-driven and emotion-driven mindsets➤ Lessons from the story of the Minister's wife in Sūrah Yūsuf➤ How unchecked emotions can distort a person's sense of right and wrong➤ The spiritual consequences of repeatedly rejecting guidance➤ Why hearing, the heart, and sight can become spiritually blocked➤ The limits of human effort in guiding someone who refuses guidance➤ Why some people become more astray than cattle🎤 About the KhutbahIn this Jumu'ah Khutbah, Ustadh Nouman Ali Khan reflects on the Qurʾānic description of a person who takes their own desires as an object of devotion.The discussion begins with the significance of "Ra'aita" and why this expression creates a sense of shock and highlights something extraordinary.The Khutbah then examines how a person's relationship with Allāh can gradually be replaced by emotional desires. Rather than allowing revelation to guide their feelings, they begin allowing their feelings to determine what they believe and how they behave.The discussion also explores the difference between people who are driven by beliefs and principles and those who allow their emotions to become their ultimate authority.One of the most powerful sections examines the spiritual consequences of repeatedly rejecting guidance: hearing becomes sealed, the heart becomes closed, and the eyes become covered from recognizing the reality of one's own condition.The Khutbah concludes with lessons from Sūrah Al-Furqān and a reminder that believers are not responsible for forcing guidance upon those who refuse to use their intellect and accept the truth.The deeper question is not simply what you believe.It is: what controls you when your feelings and Allah's guidance disagree?📺 Watch LiveWatch live on YouTube and Instagram:@israfoundation🤝 Support ISRAhttps://israfoundation.com/support📅 Eventshttps://israfoundation.com/events🌐 Websitehttps://israfoundation.com📍 ISRA HQ930 W.

Heartfelt: Softening the Heart is a weekly series with Mufti MWK exploring timeless lessons from Kitāb al-Zuhd wa al-Raqāʾiq by Imām ʿAbdullāh ibn al-Mubārak.Through Qurʾānic reflections, Prophetic guidance, stories of the righteous, and practical lessons, the series explores the things that shape the heart and strengthen our relationship with Allāh.In this session, the focus turns to companionship.

When Hatred Makes You Unjust | The Qur'an's Warning About Anger & Revenge | Nouman Ali Khan22 Aug 202600:28:10

There are moments when we feel completely certain that we are right.Someone hurt us.Someone betrayed us.Someone treated us unfairly.And suddenly, everything we want to do feels justified.But the Qur'an asks a difficult question:Is it really justice?Or has hatred quietly taken control of the heart?In this powerful Jumu'ah Khutbah, Ustadh Nouman Ali Khan reflects on the Qur'anic command to stand firmly for justice and remain fair, even when anger, resentment, or hatred make fairness difficult.The reminder explores two forms of injustice. One comes from carefully manipulating words, twisting narratives, and hiding facts. The other comes from within: when anger and the desire for revenge become so powerful that they begin controlling how we think and act.


🎤 About the Reminder

In this Jumu'ah Khutbah, Ustadh Nouman Ali Khan reflects on powerful lessons from the Qur'an about justice and the danger of allowing our emotions to make us unfair.

The discussion begins by showing how injustice is not always obvious. A person can manipulate words, twist a narrative, or leave out important facts without openly lying. Sometimes, injustice is carefully planned.

But there is another kind of injustice.It begins in the heart.Anger, resentment, and hatred can become so powerful that a person slowly loses control of their judgment. What they want to do to someone else may feel completely justified, even when it is no longer fair. One of the central lessons of this reminder is that hatred can redefine justice in our minds. Revenge can begin to feel righteous simply because we are hurt. The Qur'an commands believers to remain fair, even when dealing with people they dislike or people who hate them.

The reminder also explores the deep connection between fairness and taqwā. Taqwā is not something that can be separated from our relationships with people. Our Ṣalāh, fasting, Qur'an recitation, and other acts of worship do not give us permission to be unjust, cruel, or controlled by rage.

The real challenge is not simply asking, "How is my relationship with Allāh?"It is also asking: How am I with His creation?

Why We Plan Like We’ll Live Forever | Remembering Death & Hereafter | Kitab Ul Zuhd By Mufti MWK20 Aug 202600:49:10

We spend years preparing for a future we cannot guarantee. We plan careers, homes, families, and retirement, but often postpone preparing for the one appointment none of us can cancel: our meeting with Allāh.

In this powerful reminder, Mufti MWK reflects on death, long hopes, attachment to the dunya, and why remembering our temporary existence can completely change how we live.

Drawing from Kitāb al-Zuhd wa al-Raqāʾiq by Imām ʿAbdullāh ibn al-Mubārak, the discussion reminds us that wealth, success, relationships, and worldly security cannot protect us from the decree of Allāh.

🎤 About the Reminder

In this session, Mufti MWK reflects on the temporary nature of life and the certainty of returning to Allāh.

Through examples from Islamic history, Janāzah, worldly planning, and the lives we build around ourselves, the reminder challenges us to rethink what true security means.

Marriage, children, careers, homes, and wealth can all be blessings, but none of them should become our ultimate measure of success.

The session concludes with the reminder that this dunya is a temporary stop, not our permanent home. We may enjoy the journey, but our destination is ultimately with Allāh.

Your Children Can Lose Their Īmān | Mufti MWK | Jummah Khutba Aug 808 Aug 202600:35:38

What happens when Muslims become visible in society but fail to represent Islam through their character? And what are we doing today to preserve īmān for the next generation?

In this powerful Jumu'ah Khutbah, the speaker reflects on Muslim leadership, the rise and fall of Muslim civilizations, and one of the greatest responsibilities facing Muslim families today: preserving īmān.

🎤 About the Khutbah

This Jumu'ah Khutbah explores one of the most important challenges facing Muslims today: how to preserve faith across generations and represent Islam through character.

From Islamic history and Muslim leadership to parenting, mentorship, knowledge, and suhbah, the khutbah reminds us that preserving Islam is not only about what we teach our children. It is also about the people we connect them with and the example we become for them.

Every Muslim carries a responsibility. The way we live, speak, work, treat others, and practice our faith can either strengthen someone's understanding of Islam or weaken it.

Halal vs Haram Income | Jumu’ah Khutbah, Apr 24, 202630 Apr 202600:28:52

In this powerful Islamic reminder, we talk about something very important in our daily life which is halal and haram income.Many people focus on earning more money but do not think about whether their income is halal or not. In this talk, we are reminded that Allah will ask us where our money came from and how we spent it.The speaker explains why some people do not feel peace in their life and why their duas are not accepted. One major reason can be earning or using money in a way that is not halal.This reminder also clears a common misunderstanding. Giving charity from haram money does not fix the problem. Instead, it removes barakah from life.Through real examples, we learn how honesty in business, jobs, and daily dealings brings barakah, while dishonesty leads to problems.This talk is a wake-up call to check our income, our actions, and our relationship with Allah.📌 What You Will LearnImportance of halal income in IslamWhy some duas are not acceptedWhat is barakah in wealthWhy haram money is dangerousAccountability on the Day of JudgmentHonesty in work and businessHow small actions affect your life🎤 About This ReminderThis lecture helps us reflect on our income and reminds us to choose halal in every part of life.🔗 Support the WorkIf this reminder helped you, support ISRA Foundationhttps://israfoundation.com/support📍 ISRA Foundation930 W.
