Suhaib Webb – Cover me!

And he came to his wife, say the

Khadija, we talked about her last time,

and

he said cover me cover me cover me.

The ulema, they noticed something really important here,

and that is that it is important at

times to share things that happened in our

lives that are monumental with those who are

closest to us.

There's nothing wrong with that. Number 2, the

statement

cover me cover me

is an attempt, a, what we call, a

to seek a remedy for a situation.

So they said this is an evidence that

a person should seek remedies for any type

of disturbances,

And, of course, in a greater in a

in a in a in a higher,

level of intensity would be for illnesses.

Sometimes we find Muslims and this is the

danger of where we are as a community,

lacking language on issues, as we'll talk about

later. Lacking language on issues. So So when

a community doesn't have a language for things,

and what I mean here is, like, knowledge

that provides contemporary frameworks

for Muslims to navigate the challenges of life.

You can't you can't bash young Muslims

if you haven't provided them with a framework

to live.

You can't bash activists if you haven't gotten

to, like, what is Islamic activism?

You can't bash Muslims who are trying to

get involved in politics if you haven't provided

a

a a

a a political, a theological,

set of frameworks

or a a a a political theology, if

you will.

Right? That's gonna help them map things out,

and that's kind of the danger of where

we are sometimes with our our teachers

is that they are not speaking to the

issues. And when you don't speak to the

issues, then it's gonna be muted. And if

there's no voice there,

if the hitab of Allah isn't there, right,

metaphorically,

then you can't fault Muslims for finding other

voices.
