The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was blessed with unparalleled character, and among the greatest gifts Allah bestowed upon him was the knowledge of how to worship Him. Human reason and experience alone cannot determine how to please the Creator; true guidance comes only through divine ‘ilm and hidayah. Allah says in Surah al-Ḍuḥā that He found the Prophet ﷺ without knowledge of worship and guided him, granting both understanding and the tawfiq to act upon it. While knowledge may be learned, hidayah is its realization through sincere obedience. What distinguishes the Ummah is that we do not speculate in worship—we follow the clear, objective example of the Prophet ﷺ.

Are we truly mindful of our ultimate destination? In this profound discourse, Shaykh Amin reminds us—through the timeless guidance of the Qurʾān, the Prophet ﷺ, and the noble ṣaḥāba—that the remembrance of death is not to be seen as grim or fatalistic. Rather, it is a powerful reality meant to awaken urgency within us, compelling us to infuse every action with purpose and meaning. It was this very consciousness that empowered the early Muslims to spread Islam far and wide in a brief span of time. By cherishing our moments with Allah in this life, we adorn both our worldly existence and our eternal abode in Jannah.

In this insightful discourse, Shaykh Amin unveils our profound responsibility to carry out every act of worship and deed with the niyyah of representing Rasulullah ﷺ in a universal sense. By elevating our perspective and recognizing that adherence to the Sunnah extends beyond isolated practice to a force of broader, universal impact, we uncover the true key to both the flourishing of Islam and the purification of our niyyah.

In this profound reminder, Shaykh Amin awakens the heart to the essential state of mind required before entering the sanctified realm of Salāh. He reminds us that the deliberate effort of summoning one’s awareness into the conscious presence of Allah, the King of all kings, is the very key to attaining 'ihsān – ‘worshipping Allah as though you see Him’. Through his words, the Shaykh directs our gaze to the luminous example of the Prophet ﷺ and his noble Companions, who longed to detach from the fleeting world and seek refuge in Salāh—the divine sanctuary that bestows serenity, solace, and ultimate felicity.

By Darul Qasim’s Chief of Staff, Obaidullah Kholwadia A summary of Shaykh Amin Kholwadia’s session titled “Muslim or American?” at the Islamic Center of Frisco’s Annual Conference | Dallas, Texas | September 12, 2025 1. Islam + Identity Islam never erased local cultures. It preserved what was good and added value. Being Muslim and being American isn’t a contradiction. The Prophet ﷺ told people to keep the good from their traditions after accepting Islam. Having U.S. citizenship doesn’t conflict with faith. What matters is how you live your values. 2. Balance with America Criticizing U.S. foreign policy is fine—we should voice our opinions. But that doesn’t mean the whole country is corrupt or evil. Calling America “shayṭān” while living here, carrying a passport, and benefiting from freedoms doesn’t add up. The fact that we can hold open conferences and criticize policy without fear is something to appreciate. 3. Values to Learn From Work ethic: Americans show resilience, discipline, and responsibility. Islam already teaches this, but we don’t practice it enough. Knowledge: The U.S. pours money into education, research, and think tanks. That’s part of why they maintain power. Early Muslims led the world in knowledge because they invested in it. We don’t do that anymore. Civic contribution: Muslims should be visible in solving community problems—whether drugs, alcohol, or social issues. We should be known for adding value. 4. Avoiding Fantasy Thinking Thinking a caliphate will solve all problems is naïve. Islamic history had assassinations and conflicts too. This dunya is about tests. Playing the victim card won’t help. Work ethic, knowledge, and responsibility will. 5. Action Points Appreciate freedoms here but don’t stay silent on injustice. Invest in academics—schools, scholarships, institutions. Teach kids responsibility and resilience. Be active in civic life—show up, volunteer, contribute. Carry yourself with prophetic character—honesty, dignity, and service. Being Muslim and American are not opposites. The real questions are: Am I Muslim enough to live with integrity? Am I American enough to contribute positively?
