Muhammad (PBUH), universal reformer for social justice

This episode is a brief section of Aisha Al-Adawiya’s speech at the Muslim American Society and the Islamic Circle of North America 16th Annual Convention in Chicago.

She says that when we try to gain authentic knowledge about our tradition necessarily we seek out the teachings and the practice of our Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). How he acted, how he spoke, how he was in the world, and how were the people around him doing that time?

We all have general sense of how Islam speaks to social justice issues and that the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) is our ultimate example. She adds: as you all know, we are in a time when we have various challenges before us but embedded in those challenges are incredible opportunities for us to grow and be viable contributors to the societies that we belong. World really needs to hear Muslims’ voices and how we respond to each and one of these issues, which are not just related to the Muslims’ issues but will care all humans. We have so much offer to the world, we have been selfish in so many ways by keeping this beautiful religion to ourselves when the world literally crying for justice around us.
