Tonight we will discuss the sin of dispair. Those who do not believe in the Power, the Mercy and Bounty of Allah (S.w.T.), develop a kind of despair. The Holy Qur’an has termed such people as Unbelievers (Kafir).

“...and despair not of Allah’s Mercy; surely none despairs of Allah’s Mercy except the unbelieving people.” (Surah Yusuf 12:87)

Sh. Hanif will discuss the concepts of sin, forgiveness and repentance in Islam.

Please join us and share the lectures and feel free to leave comments and questions for Sh. Hanif

Last week the Washington Times ran the article, "ISIS Attempts to Establish Foothole In U.S."  The article was written by this weeks guest, Rahat Husain.  This week we will discuss this article and the growing presents of ISIS in America, their recruitment and their actions up to date. We will also discuss ISIS's activities overseas. This is an important topic that everyone needs to listen to and be informed about.

Last Saturday a young, unarmed  African-American man was gunned down by a police officer in Ferguson, MO. There is really no need to give the details here because this is a common story, one that seems to continue to happen without any justice being given to the victims or their families. There are those of us who have been personally affected by these acts of violence and we want to know when the relief and justice will come. 

This week we will discuss the murders of Michael Brown, Malcolm Shabazz and others with Sheikh Hashim Alauddeen. This is not a conversation that you want to miss. Please join us Sunday at 6 pm Eastern (3 pm Pacific) as we discuss this all important subject.
