Respecting Non Muslims in Our Communities - Dr. Sayed Moustafa Al-Qazwini || 2nd Muharram 2018

Dr. Sayed Moustafa Al-Qazwini shared a very eye opening discussion about reconciling between our Islamic identity and maintaining the sense of belonging to our nations, and whether muslims in the West should seek further integration or isolation. Evidently, we learn that the Ahlulbayt's (a.s.) view is that Islam isn't a private cult but a universal path built on diversity and inclusion, encouraging its followers to be instrumental pioneers in their communities through manifesting their faith in acts of goodness and societal benefit. Furthermore, we reflect on the power of integration and attraction through mannerism, and the significance of widening our capacity for tolerance, whilst staying away from those who have prejudice and harbor hate. ____________________________________________ Verse of Discussion: “Allah does not forbid you from those who do not fight you because of religion and do not expel you from your homes - from being righteous toward them and acting justly toward them.
