Islam:
Past,
Present and Future
Abdullah
Hakim Quick A timeless, classic
presentation that surveys the glorious Muslim past and analyzes
the reasons why the ummah is failing to reach such standards
of excellence today. On the campus of the University of Miami,
respected historian and imam Abdullah Hakim Quick asks the audience
to reflect upon Muslim achievements from the "Golden Age
of Islam" in Spain to the more recent contributions during
the "Age of Discovery" in the Americas. After revealing
fascinating evidence of Muslim explorations and contributions
to science and technology, the lecture focuses on the vital lessons
that can be drawn from this history and what things about ourselves
we must change today to reclaim the success of the past. The
various topics discussed: names on the map with possible Arabic
roots, Columbus' encounter with Muslims, Spanish Muslim migration
to the Americas before Columbus, Muslim African slaves, Melungeons
as part of your lineage, Muslims melting in the "melting
pot", culture vs. religion, the marginalization of Muslim
women, encouraging youth to take leadership roles, the dangers
of extremism and dictatorship, the dangers of jealousy and arrogance,
sincerity, superstition, nationalism, Farrakhan and the Nation
of Islam, history from a "Euro-centric" point-of-view,
and the difference between pride and dignity. (Duration: 1 hour,
19 min)
