and inspiring address, Ahmad Sakr raises many questions relevant
to all Muslims facing the decaying social, moral and spiritual

confused priorities, impure intentions and proper knowledge.

getting married young, being grateful for the favors of our mothers,
what to teach our children, not being so uptight, the sunnah
of smiling, sadaqah jariyyah, writing articles about Islam, the
need to take action, listening to music, halal and haram in risq
(sustenance), role models for the children, Islam at the Vatican,
and salat al-Hajah. (Duration: 1 hour, 31 min) Dr. Ahmad Sakr
