    Reformation

    No stranger to controversy, Ayaan Hirsi Ali asserts in her newest and most controversial book Heretic: Why Islam Needs a Reformation Now that Islam needs to undergo a drastic reform in order to become compatible with the norms and values a modern and free society. In this Juma'ah khutbah, Sheikh Atef responds to this assertion and takes an honest and unbiased look at the current state of our Muslim communities, arguing that it's not Islam but Muslims themselves who are in need of a reformation. Take a listen and please let us know your thoughts. We always value your feedback.

    Verse of the Sword

    The so-called "Verse of the Sword" is the oft-cited verse of the Quran that is used by critics of Islam as evidence that Islam is a religion of violence and intolerance that demands Muslims to kill non-believers until they submit to Islam. Is this true? Is Islam as violent as they claim? Sheikh Atef explains the history behind the revelation of this verse and outlines the scholarly opinions of the commentators on this very controversial, oft-misunderstood ayah of the Quran.
