Since when did human opinion outrank divine revelation?

This address confronts the arrogance of modern lawmaking with the uncompromising authority of Allah’s sovereignty.

We were left with a path as bright as day — so how did we end up lost in the darkness? The road was clear, the signs were obvious… but we chose confusion instead of clarity.

This address confronts the painful truth: the Prophet ﷺ laid down a path so radiant it left no room for doubt — yet the Ummah today walks in circles.

Join the discussion on how you return to the glory and the system we were entrusted with.

What if every compromise we make is a step toward humiliation — in this world and the next?

The Sheik uncovers the false solutions, exposing the ideological war we’re losing and provides a solution for true victory.

Join and hear the solution from the Sheik how we can again be victorious as an Ummah.
