Summary

Shaykh Yasir Qadhi gives us a moving speech on the importance of religious freedom for all. He quotes Martin Luther King, "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere." We gather the gist of his speech to be united in the face of oppression and injustice and that we should work hard towards this goal to ensure destruction and defeat of the aggressors. Listen intently to this lecture to inculcate strong values of unity and belief in the Almighty so that we stand as one in front of the enemies of humanity.
