Muslims
in America:
Hopes and Realities
Jamal
Badawi Despite the nobility
and strength of the message it claims to carry, the Muslim community
as a whole is suffering from many of the same social and spiritual
ills that are plaguing the non-Muslim community. Why is this
the case and how does Islam provide hope when it's so easy to
have such a bleak outlook? Through his typically concise and
scholarly approach, Jamal Badawi presents the answers to these
important questions by analyzing the respective strengths and
weaknesses of the Muslim ummah as well as relating a fascinating
hadith of the Prophet (P) that foretells the stages of success
and failure for the ummah until the end of time. He also looks
at three major diseases that are at the heart of the matter:
loyalty to other than Allah, lack of knowledge and understanding,
and disunity. Other topics discussed: fear and hope, the lure
of Shaitan, khalifah, and the necessary correlation between belief
and action. (Duration: 1 hour + DVD
