Imaan & Tawakkul: Faith and trust in Allah's plan (FRIDAY KHUTBAH)

 A recent Friday Khutbah which explores the importance of confidence and trust in God, as a means for identifying tools for personal/social refinement, as well as identity building.


This presentation also gives a slightly different look at the famous Quranic verse 49:13 ("O Humanity! Indeed, WE have created you from a male and female, made you into groupings and tribes, so that you will know (and benefit) each other. Indeed, the most honorable of you in God's sight is those among you with the most taqwaa, indeed, Allah is knowledgeable, aware") as a text which shows diversity as being part of the Divine plan.

Unity In Pandemic presentation (Q and A panel session)

 ( Recently we were part of a program called "Unity in Pandemic". In particular, I really enjoyed the panel discussion, in which Ner Temid congregation Rabbi Saford Askerlod and Rev Catherine Greg shared wonderful insights. The entire program (which included presentations by all panelists and musical performances) can be viewed here . )

 

The panel discussion itself can be viewed at the link below.
