What happens when the world tries to define you and the definition is wrong?
In this jummuah khutbah, Dr. Omar Suleiman explores Muslim identity in America and how Islam gives us the tools to reclaim our dignity when labels are used as weapons. Whether you’ve been called a terrorist for wearing hijab, an antisemite for supporting Palestine, or simply made to feel like an outsider, Islam has always had an answer.
Drawing from the Quran, the Prophet ﷺ, Malcolm X, and early Islamic history, this sermon unpacks what Islam teaches about racism, slander, and the ethics of naming and why Muslims are proud to carry that name no matter the cost.
If you’re Muslim and navigating Islamophobia, or if you’re simply curious about what Muslims believe about identity and human dignity, this khutbah is for you.
