Greetings of Peace (al salamu ‘alaykum) dear Friends,
I pray you are managing well in these dark times. I am going to keep it short this week and only encourage
everyone to watch the Shaykh’s khutbah from this past week entitled, “Protest or Perish: Lessons from The Ant Colony,” which is a brilliant demonstration of the importance of knowledge and
scholarship in the darkest of times, when you think there is nothing left to say about our kids and students getting brutalized and arrested for peacefully protesting a genocide on university
campuses around the country and across the world.
Amidst the darkness, I am so proud and excited to announce the launch of Wietske Merison’s second album,
sponsored by Usuli Music, last week on 1 May 2024! After listening and reflecting on Dr. Abou El Fadl’s deep khutbah, do something nice for yourself and listen to this beautiful music: https://wietskemerison.hearnow.com/
