Suhaib Webb – How Community Fights Stress During the Pandemic

That's a question.

Yes, sir. Okay. Awesome. So, inshallah, what we're

going to do is go through a course

together. I I know that many of us

are feeling a lot of stress,

the need for community is real. You know,

nothing reveals the need for each other like

being kept away from things that perhaps we've

taken for granted for so long, and this

coronavirus is impacting, of course, a large number

of people

in the world and in New Jersey, and

we ask Allah to

protect us, Inshallah, and others, and we ask

Allah for those who may have been,

infected by this virus that Allah will protect

them and make the cure,

inshallah quickly, inshallah quickly. So,

my friend Sharif actually asked me to sit

with everybody and read,

once a week, text, Insha'Allah.

So I've been preparing the text and you

have to forgive me, that's why I'm I'm

a little bit late,

getting here.

But this is a text that I thought

we could read together really on, practical.

Oftentimes, we find

being posited in the community in different ways.

One is perhaps

making the focus of the religious leader

or the group and not really the the

focus of tasawaf, which should be Allah.

Or we find people completely rejecting tasawaf as

being an innovation,

as something which is, you know, contrary,

contradicting the Quran and sunnah.
