O you who believe, be persistently standing firm for Allah as witnesses in justice, and do not let the hatred of a people prevent you from being just. Be just, for that is nearer to righteousness. Fear Allah, for verily, Allah is aware of what you do.
Surat Al-Ma’idah 5:8

يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا كُونُوا قَوَّامِينَ بِالْقِسْطِ شُهَدَاءَ لِلَّهِ وَلَوْ عَلَىٰ أَنفُسِكُمْ أَوِ الْوَالِدَيْنِ وَالْأَقْرَبِينَ إِن يَكُنْ غَنِيًّا أَوْ فَقِيرًا فَاللَّهُ أَوْلَىٰ بِهِمَا فَلَا تَتَّبِعُوا الْهَوَىٰ أَن تَعْدِلُوا وَإِن تَلْوُوا أَوْ تُعْرِضُوا فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ كَانَ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ خَبِيرًا
O you who believe, be persistently standing firm in justice as witnesses for Allah, even if it be against yourselves or parents and relatives. Whether one is rich or poor, Allah is more worthy of both. So do not follow desires, lest you not be just. If you distort your testimony or refuse to give it, then verily, Allah is aware of what you do.
Surah An-Nisa 4:135

From the story of Prophet Musa (AS) to the activism of the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) to our more recent role models Linda Sarsour, Malcolm X, and Muhammad Ali; activism plays a crucial role in the Islamic faith.

Whether you’re a woke Muslim, a woke ally, or still sleeping, this event is for you. The purpose of this event is to help us outline the responsibility we have as Muslims and people to stand for the oppressed and fight for justice in the most undeniable way: through religious text and Islamic history.

To all the woke Muslims and friends out there who know that climate justice is gender justice is economic justice is racial justice (and more), be sure to listen in on how these movements are the interwoven fabric of our religion in practice and history.

Join us as Sr. Yemen Monessar of Emgage enlightens us with stories of prophetic activism and righteousness in times of injustice. This is sure to be one of the most engaging talks this semester, so don’t miss out!

On the authority of Abu Sa’eed al-Khudree (ra) who said:

I heard the Messenger of Allah (saw) say, “Whoso- ever of you sees an evil, let him change it with his hand; and if he is not able to do so, then [let him change it] with his tongue; and if he is not able to do so, then with his heart — and that is the weakest of faith.” [Muslim] External Event Url
