Dawud Wharnsby Ali - Forging our Islamic Identities

This speaker addresses several very important topics all under the umbrella of tarbiyah, growing as a Muslim after a person makes the commitment to be a Muslim. That's a lifelong commitment, and for those of us born to Islam in America, too often one taken for granted.

The commitment is personal. But the community one lives in is where we get our tarbiya.

May Allah subhanahu wata ala guide each of us, keep each of us on the straight path, and allow us to grow stronger in our faith, in sha Allah.

"Brother Dawud Wharnsby, a convert to Islam, starts off with a beautiful nasheed about Hijab, then continues with a talk about how we should forge our Islamic identities, then ends with another nasheed that he dedicates to his young brothers and sisters everywhere."
