Who gave you the right to legislate over the command of the Creator?

Since when did human opinion outrank divine revelation?

This address confronts the arrogance of modern lawmaking with the uncompromising authority of Allah’s sovereignty.

We were left with a path as bright as day — so how did we end up lost in the darkness? The road was clear, the signs were obvious… but we chose confusion instead of clarity.

This address confronts the painful truth: the Prophet ﷺ laid down a path so radiant it left no room for doubt — yet the Ummah today walks in circles.

Join the discussion on how you return to the glory and the system we were entrusted with.

Assimilation: A Trap, Not a Solution

Assimilation promises peace, but what does it deliver?

The Sheik confronts this concept within our homes and hearts when we trade Islamic principles for social comfort. It’s not just about fitting in — it’s about falling in.

If we don’t resist now, our children won’t remember what Islam ever stood for.

Why do we still chase honor from the very systems that disgrace us?

The Ummah bleeds — in Gaza, in Sudan, in Kashmir — and yet, some celebrate symbolic victories while the genocide continues unchecked.

What if every compromise we make is a step toward humiliation — in this world and the next?

The Sheik uncovers the false solutions, exposing the ideological war we’re losing and provides a solution for true victory.

Belief without implementation is a broken promise.

Gaza to Sudan, the Ummah suffers not because the message is lost — but because it's not enforced.

“We sent Our messengers with clear proofs… and sent down iron, in which is strong material, as well as benefits for mankind…” (Al-Hadid 57:25).

This powerful address draws a straight line from revelation to justice and demands we confront a painful truth: Islam is not upheld by rituals alone.

Join and hear the solution from the Sheik how we can again be victorious as an Ummah.
