In this collection of twenty-two Islamic sermons, Khaled Abou El Fadl, distinguished law professor and classically trained Islamic jurist, delivers incisive commentaries on the current state of Islam and the Muslim world from the symbolic pulpit of the Prophet of Islam. Part Qur’anic exegesis and part socio-ethical commentary, this volume showcases the knowledge, enlightenment, and dedication to justice that once propelled the Islamic civilization to great heights of human achievement. It attempts to illuminate the spiritual and ethical path forward for Muslims amid the challenges of injustice, oppression, and the rising tide of Islamophobia in our world.

An absolutely stunning book for awakening the real Islam within Muslims today. A central foundation for all Muslims.
by Moderate1
I love Shaykh Khaled Abou El Fadl’s videos and books. This is a very well put together collection of his Friday sermons over the last few years. He speaks on the ethics, society and duties of a Muslim in our modern era unlike many who just preach about the length of the beard or your thobe! I’d say Shaykh Khaled Abou El Fadl is one of the most important living Shayukh along with Shaykh Farhan Hassan Al Maliki among a few others… 100% recommend!

A series of powerful and morally engaging sermons that strike at the heart of what faith should be
by 1972
The media could not be loaded.
I only came to this book through a connection to the editor of the text. I’m not Muslim. What I knew about Islam was limited to helping my son with A level RS and what I see and read in the media.
So how is this text relevant to me?
It’s beautifully written, exquisitely edited, accessible even to those with limited knowledge and understanding. It speaks of ethics and justice as well as of faith. It’s a brave piece of writing.

Thoroughly recommend this book to all my colleagues.
by Richard Van Heeswyk
This is one of those books you want to ask everybody to read. An excellent, thought collection which always opens your eyes. A powerful presentation of a beautiful, intelligent, moral and transformative Islam. Highly relevant to what is actually happening in the world
Abu el Fadl starts with a very basic question: how did the revelations received by Muhammad have such a profound transformative effect on the people who came into contact with it? How did it create the leaps forward in human civilisation which followed?
He then reflects; it cannot be that people simply were inspired by the ritual acts, the positive laws which we seem to be so preoccupied with in our current age. It was the liberating message of fearing nobody but god, and the message of establishing a just society, or developing and cultivating moral, beautiful and noble human beings.
In our khutba we so often are left wanting, there is a painful disconnect between the hearts and minds longing for upliftement and the superficial regurgitation of basic facts which most children already know.
Here is the alternative. If only more of our Imams delivered sermons like this our ummah might actually change the face of this dark and troubled world.
