Human
Dignity
and Courage
Jamal
Badawi and Siraj Wahhaj A panel session
with two of the most distinguished Islamic workers in North America.
Jamal Badawi begins by articulating the concept of dignity in
Islam and how it relates to the five basic objectives of Islamic
law: the safeguarding of faith, life, intellect, honor and wealth.
He reminds the ICNA convention audience that human beings were
created in the best of moulds and highlights this with an anecdote
from the creation story of Adam. A scholarly perspective that
provides the foundation for the motivational portion of the panel
by Imam Siraj about courage. He begins by conveying several triumphant
stories of individual Muslims in his own community. From a little
boy unwilling to compromise his Islamic principles to a woman
refusing to succumb to the workplace pressure of removing her
hijab, these uplifting stories will strengthen your faith. He
then touches upon the African-American struggles during the civil
rights movement of the 60's, and then closes with practical ways
that believers can obtain courage. (Duration: 1 hour, 14 min)
Jamal Badawi is a popular
author and speaker on Islam and is a member of the Fiqh Council
of North America. Siraj Wahhaj is imam of Masjid Taqwa in New
York who received training at Ummul Qura University and has gone
on to become an international speaker on Islam.
