Juz 24: Today's False Gods | Imam Wesley Abu Sumayyah Lebron
What are the false gods we see in the world today? What does it mean to have istiqamah, or steadfastness? What happens when you put God first?
Join Imam Wesley Abu Sumayyah Lebron with hosts Dr. Omar Suleiman and Sh. Abdullah Oduro as they reflect on Juz 24 of the Qur'an, discussing the ulterior motives—and absolute powerlessness—of false gods, the effect of internalizing that Allah is sufficient, and the impossible blessings of steadfastness in this life and the next.
Remember these 3 things:
- Do not be threatened by their powerless gods, and do not despair from your All-Powerful God.
- Alternative gods always have ulterior motives.
- Steadfastness comes out of sincere testimony.
