Friday Gems: Truth, Justice & the Muhammadan Way | Ubaydullah Evans & Senan Hafez

Friday Gems: Truth, Justice & the Muhammadan Way: The Life & Legacy of Muhammad Ali | Shaykh Ubaydullah Evans & Qari Senan Hafez
The program begins with a recitation of Surat al-Kahf by Qari Senan Hafez.
Muhammad Ali's star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame is the only one among thousands that does NOT lie on the sidewalk. Instead, it is on the wall - the only name raised above all others. It was the only way Ali would agree to the honor. He said: "I bear the name of our beloved Prophet Muhammad, and it is impossible that I allow people to trample over his name.”
What a powerful statement by the greatest (boxer) about the greatest (of creation) ﷺ! You can’t help but think of the verse in which Allah says to the Prophet ﷺ, “And We RAISED your reputation / renown / remembrance for you.” (94:4)
Not only did he represent the name Muhammad with the utmost honor and respect, Muhammad Ali stood for what the name stood for. He walked the walk. He lived and exemplified Prophetic character and values. He was a messenger of the Messenger ﷺ.
How so? That’s exactly what Sh. Ubaydullah Evans will be covering in this session of Friday Gems…
We will remember and reflect on Muhammad Ali’s legacy. We will (a) look at notable moments in his life + the numerous obstacles and opposition he faced, (b) what we can learn and apply in the context of the challenges we face today, in America and abroad, and (c) how you can leave your own legacy and impact that will remain for generations to come, insha’Allah.

[@user-xm5qz8hq9u]

Sh Ubaydullah Evans is amazing, MashAllah.
I am astounded by Muhammad Ali’s principled gentleness with people of other faiths, people facing him in the ring, even people trying to put him down. His gentleness unnerved his opponents more than macho strength.
May Allah ta Ala Bless us with more Alis.

What an amazing profile of a legend

[@khadijahd3446]

What an magnificent profile and true unknown life of Ali. He want afraid to speak of his brief even when those didn't want him to and try to silent him with threat of running his career. That it' self did not make him silent . I remember his interviews . .. every one should search for this old interview. See how he held tight to his deen
