Green Friday – Abdal Hakim Murad
Friday is a day of great historical and religious significance in Islamic tradition, as Allah makes clear in the Qur’an. As such, the yearly consumer event of “Black” Friday – variants of which have been adopted throughout the world – is, then, both a misnomer as well as antithetical to the forgotten religious festivals that it seems to have replaced. This frenzied celebration of consumption is observably destroying the planet. In contrast, the tradition of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was that of deep consideration for the earth’s environment and the animals that live here alongside us. Only through following his example can we begin to restore the perfect balance of creation that we have disrupted due to our unquenchable greed for worldly possessions that will not accompany us to the hereafter.

Kings & Queens – Abdal Hakim Murad
In the passing of the Queen we are reminded of the words of The Ever Living, “Wherever you may be, death will catch up with you, even if you are inside high castles” [Qur’an 4:78]. Though the optics of opulence are not from the faith, they can – and have – served the faithful over the course of Muslim history. The story of the King of Ethiopia from the life and times of the Messenger ﷺ illustrates the Prophetic recognition of nuance, and the value of highlighting similarities rather than differences – something that the new King, Charles III, has been doing for many decades as Prince, in regards to Islam and the West.
The full speech delivered by the then Prince of Wales titled 'Islam and the West' delivered in Oxford in 1993, an excerpt of which is read at 21:52, can be found here: https://www.princeofwales.gov.uk/speech/speech-hrh-prince-wales-titled-islam-and-west-oxford-centre-islamic-studies-sheldonian

Sultan of the Heart – Abdal Hakim Murad
In this Eid sermon, Shaykh Abdal Hakim Murad reminds us that the ability to say no to our desires, learned and practiced in fasting, is the essence of Ramadan. Failure to retain this discipline risks perpetuating individual and indeed collective calamity.
