Suhaib Webb – A Prophetic Community First

Because we have to be very careful about

how political nomenclature has replaced religious nomenclature. Religiously,

it's a it's it it it

it supersedes that. It's bigger than it. It

doesn't allow itself to get stuck in the

muck and mire of political nomenclature. Religious nomenclature

actually should supersede political nomenclature. I am a

prophetic community that may do politics. I'm not

a political community that may do prophecy.

That's a challenge.

So when we talk about following desires,

it doesn't just mean, like, haram.

It could also mean going overboard

in religion like the Hawarij,

the early Muslim group who they actually exceeded

the Sahaba in their worship. They exceeded the

Sahaba in their,

if you will, commitment

to religion.

But the prophet said about them, whom they're

the worst people.

And in their

sort of misplaced religiosity, they actually killed

some of the Sahaba.

They killed Seydn Adi.
