The creed of ‘la illah illah Allah Muhammad Rasuul Allah’ must drive the Ummah beyond the current status quo and try to search for ending this miserable situation the Ummah is in.

Victory is for those who support Allah(swt).

The speaker addresses the burning question that Islam will be victorious without a doubt, but by whose hands will this be achieved?

A comprehensive understanding of secularism and democracy are provided to eliminate the confusion Muslim's have today about participation and supporting these ideologies.

The speaker reminds us of the comprehensiveness of the Deen of Islam to solve all human needs and organize the affairs of humanity for all times and places in a way that ensures harmony, prosperity, security, and justice for all.

Isra and Mi’raj reminds Muslims about the miraculous event that took place in the life of our beloved Prophet Muhammad (saw).  The speaker provides details of the journey of the Prophet Muhammad (saw) as well as discusses the reaction of the Muslims and non-Muslims.

Furthermore, the speaker outlines the the lessons we can take from this great event.

Reflecting on the situation during the lifetime of the Prophet (saw), the speaker draws parallels with the issues happening today in India, Burma (Myanmar), China, and the Muslim world. Speaker frames the issue of Muslim "Majority" or "Minority" and draws a clear picture of the problem giving the only viable solution from Islam.

In the tenth year of Prophethood, the Prophet (saw) hastened to introduce tribes and individuals to Islam and called upon them to embrace Islam and support him(saw). This call was explicitly a command from Allah(swt) for the Prophet(saw) to call for Nusrah(support), as explained by the the speaker.

The lessons from the approach and outcomes of the interactions of the Prophet(saw)with the tribes provide us with lessons for today.

The speaker recaps the hardship that the Prophet Muhammad (saw) faced during the year of grief and correlates with the hardships that Muslims are facing today in India.

He draws a very distinct path to why the Muslims of India and other Muslims around the world are are facing and provides the action that should be taken.

It is clear that a big part of the problem lies in qualities of leadership we see today in the Muslim world.  The speaker shares the how the personality and leadership qualities of the Prophet(saw) were such that even the enemies revered and respected him.  It goes without mention that the Sahabah (ra) loved and respected the Prophet(saw) the most.

Shortly after the year of sorrow, the Prophet(saw) was commanded by Allah(swt) to expanded the call and commanded set out for the journey to Taif.  Many of us know the story of Taif well, but the speaker focuses on why specifically the Prophet Muhammad (saw) went to Taif.

Finally, the speaker reconnects the famous dua (prayer) of Prophet Muhammad (Saw) after Taif to us today.

The speaker details the specifics of the stories and benefits of Surah al-Kahf in light of today's environment.

A clear link can be made from the situation of the Muslims during the period of oppression in Makkah to some of the same oppression faced by our Ummah today.

The speaker provides lessons learned & provides actions for Muslims to bring the promised mercy of Allah(swt) back

The leaders of Quraysh were relentless and unwilling to accept the Prophet’s (saw) call.  They were determined to rid themselves of this obstacle and contrived a plan to the the Prophet Muhammad (saw).  Abu Talib assembled his kinfolk of Bani Hashim and Bani Al-Mutaalib to defend his nephew.

The leaders of Makkah formed a confederation hostile to both Bani Hashim and Bani Al-Muttalib. They decided not to have any business dealings with them nor any sort of inter-marriage. Social relations, visits and even verbal contacts with Muhammad (saw) and his supporters and would discontinue until the Prophet (saw) was given up to them to be killed.

Abu Ta1ib wisely and quietly took stock of the situation and decided to withdraw to a valley on the eastern outskirts of Makkah. Banu Hashim and Banu Al-Muttalib, who followed suit, were thus confmed within a narrow pass (Shi'b Abi Talib). The Muslim faced great hardship with little food or provisions.

Again the leaders of Quraysh failed as the situation ultimately created dissension amongst the various Makkan factions, who were tied with the besieged people by blood relations. The proclamation was abrogated, and Muhammad (saw) and the Muslims were permitted to leave Ash-Sh'ib and return home.

The situation deteriorated further in what has become known as the year of grief, the tenth year of the Message. First, his uncle Abu Talib passed away and within a few months, Khadijah (ra), the wife of the Messenger (saw) died.

The speaker reflects on the great harships faced by the Propet Muhammad (saw) from the Meccan Period and provides us with learning and guidance on a path forward in the climate we live in today.

Leadership is one of the characteristics we as Muslims strive towards in ourselves and in our youth.  The speaker reminds us of examples of leaders in our Islamic history and contrasts them the with examples of the actions of the so-called leaders in the Muslim World today.

The speaker leaves us with the understanding of leadership and the true characteristics of leadership that can bring justice to not only Muslims but all of humanity.

The largest democracy on the planet has again demonstrated the failure of democracy by institutionally meddling in the livelihood of the people.

On Dec. 11, 2019, the Government of India passed Citizenship Amendment Act. The new law allows illegal Hindu, Sikh, Buddhist, Jain, Zoroastrian (Parsi) and Christian migrants from Afghanistan, Bangladesh and Pakistan to apply for Indian citizenship, but Muslims have specifically been excluded.

It means that "illegal" Muslims migrants either have to become Hindu or non-Muslim in order to get Indian citizenship to secure the right to education, employment, business and ownership, or they will be denied all rights and be transferred to concentration camps, where they will face a slow death with each passing day.

The speaker tackles the crisis and provides the only viable solution from Islam.
