Suhaib Webb – The Power of Engagement in Religious Education Unlocking Your Utility in Islam

So is asking the prophet, peace be upon

him, specifically

directed to the prophet, have you not seen

the one who denies a deen?

And the prophet has.

He's he's witnessing it around him. And, again,

this goes back to what we talked about

in our very first session, how

theology and sociology

are intrinsically married to one another for religion

to really function.

So how the Quran encourages us to engage

our own utility and to push in with

our own agency and oftentimes,

we experience in religious education ID that you

have to, like, surrender your utility and just

kind of go with the flow and

don't ask questions and don't get involved and

don't engage too much and god forbid you,

you know, you start to quote the Quran

and hadith.

Whereas

in begins.

Right? We said it's an incomplete sentence.

The only way it becomes complete is when

you put the verb there. So therefore, you

see without you,

it's not gonna work.

And also without the rest of it, it's

not gonna work. So Islam

finds this very

unique sort of balance

between

divinity,

unassailable

ideas, and the sacred, but I have to

push it.
