Khaled Abou El Fadl: "What Should Muslims Do When The World is in Chaos?" Friday Khutbah, 7.15.2016

When the world is full of ugliness and chaos, what is the taklif, or obligation upon a Muslim? When the world around you is crumbling in darkness, is it okay to simply refuse to partake in the production of beauty because the world is full of ugliness? The chaos of ugliness vampirically sucks the life blood out of faithful Muslims and turns everything dark. But what is a Muslim to do? In light of the many recent horrific and destabilizing events taking place around the world, which have left Muslims in despair, Dr. Abou El Fadl delivers an extremely important, stabilizing and uplifting message to remind Muslims of what is called for at such difficult times.
