Commitment to Our Deen Within an Ever-Changing Context

 Reflection delivered on October 13th, 2017 In his Friday reflection, Shaykh Amin calls our attention to the Seerah of Prophets throughout history, where the context may have varied in each situation, but the message remained universal. As we encounter modern issues that run antithetical to the Qur’an and Sunnah, we must maintain our perspective of believing in Allah and preparing for the akhirah, and refrain from succumbing to the ever-changing political, social and economic landscape. The Shaykh particularly points out the importance of the Prophetic Sunnah in maintaining our chastity and modesty – that the moral standard of a Muslim rises above current standards of conduct.
