This is one of the most honest speeches that I heard. It's unfortunate that all if his points are correct. I honestly can relate to the things that he talked about. It's my believe that young Muslims should raise up and lead a intellectual revolution. The divide among the Muslim community is unbelievable. Let's us unite and address these issues. Peace to everyone may Allah guide us to the right path.
Brother Jeffrey, Alhamdulillah you are a true Muslim leader. We need more people like you.
May Allah SWT richly reward you for your love and dedication to Him.
Ameen
My God, I really love this man. He is so intelligent. He must have have been an avid reader since childhood. His use of language is so fluent and rich. I can listen all day to him. I only found his videos this week. I am now listening to the third one. You can hear that he is a mathematician. Love him.
Unfortunately in many communities religion have always been used as tools for some selfish people who want to impose their desires on others. I do appreciate an honest and emotional speech. As a person who was born in Muslim family and later believed in Islam by my own research I sense every world of this speech.
SubhanAllah.. Same here
But everyone has his part of responsibility.. when we decide to assume ours, Allah awj is always there for us for
إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يُغَيِّرُ مَا بِقَوْمٍ حَتَّى يُغَيِّرُوا مَا بِأَنْفُسِهِمْ
Unfortunately that's true 😐
He makes so much sense. Islam is above culture. and Islam encourages intellectual enquiry - but culturally we don't question, and do not seek answers. I am born muslim, but I find people who convert have more knowledge than people born into the religion.
He seems like a nice brother, but he is not knowledgeable in terms of deen. However, it depends on what you define as culture. Some people try to pass off actual Islamic rulings, recommendations and prohibitions as culture as well.
@@holdshiftt2run308 what is your response in trying to bring to Islam and it’s value system into the minds of young muslims. The fundamentals of Islam are only foundations. How is the contemporary Muslim going to contribute to a better life for all and the future generations.

Difference between Muslim by chance and Muslim by choice
Is obvious in this video
first time I arrived in Europe, as an Indonesian, I felt lonely. I missed to be in a mosque a lot. I was hungry of Islam knowladge back then, wanted to pray in a mosque and just sitting there for peace but I couldnt. I remember I cried everytime I watched an Indonesian movie where there were people go to a mosque, sit, listen to adhan. I really missed it. My house is next to a turkish mosque but the prayer is only for men. I barely see women coming there for prayer. I am too afraid to go inside.
Sister, please go and ask. I live in the US and all masjid here has a section for women and I see women come to pray during the day and in Jumuah. You will see more women in the masjid during Ramadan.
Find a girl friend, just show up and go in
Sister, you shouldn't see it as a "Turkish" mosque... and never be afraid to enter *Allah's house* !
Are you still afraid? Just go. Someone has to be the first
Just go in. I’m Turkish and people in there will love to see you there and they will try to make you as happy as they can do so, you can pray. Because mosques belong to all of us not only one group our groups. Do not hesitate at all
I agree with brother Jeffery. Very important lecture for all of us Muslims.
I cried really badly how Quran predicted that some Muslims will leave the Islam or it will become irrelevant to them while Allah will bring new reverts instead of them who will practice Islam nicely:
Allah says
وان تتولوا يستبدل قوما غيركم ثم لا يكونوا امثالكم : سورة محمد
and if you turn back He will bring in your place another people, then they will not be like you.
i know right?
Allah knows best.
Yes Surah 5:101-103 say that mulims will leave Islam..But only if u question it ..well duuhhh thats why they tell u not to question it and just belive blindly
@@freddytorres3609 bla bla bla
@@humbleservant4726 bla bla?? .. prove me wrong
He is a Muslim full of knowledge, true Muslim...Islam is the religion of knowledge...Allahuakbar.
He is not knowledgeable but he is just a brother stating his genuine idea. I have met him in person but the only thing I would say is that there is some places where his emotions are getting the better.
@@holdshiftt2run308 he is more knowledgeable than you who is born Muslim. He must have read Quran and Sunnah throughly. It is not easy to convert.

Brother Jeff that was excellent, may Allah Bless you and your family, may He enhance you with further wisdom and strength to serve mankind .. JazakAllah
Alhamdulillah! Good to hear from someone who has keenly observed and pinpointed many of the problems facing the present day Muslim world. We fully agree with Dr. Lang's analysis of the concurrent situation with our children. The practical suggestions he is making to overcome the situation is definitely worth trying. May Allah bless Dr. Lang, increase his knowledge and wisdom, and be his Guide all along. Aameen.
It is never too late to save our children. I liked your suggestions. MAY ALLAH BLESS YOU. U HAVE DONE A GREAT JOB SO FAR.
JazakAllah. The best ever speech I ever heard. Professor Lang's speech is an eye opener for all those who are born Muslims. We must address these issues very seriously otherwise we all will be accountable.
I just found this page and read this important lecture, although it was made before five years ago, but it's really helpful, thanks to all.
From the day I read his book “struggling to surrender “. I knew that I had a blessed Islamic teacher in the making.
OMG! Brother Jeff it is so true our kids are facing a lot of problem to voice.Each and every word you are saying it true.
With all respect to your ideology why do ☪️🕌🕋 do not respect others 😕
Every parents especially born muslim parents and childrens needs to hear this, at least open a conversation
52:00
You are absolutely right ✅
MashaAllah
JazakiAllahukhaerian
He is doing da’wah - worry about future of Islam
He is worrying about our generation - we all should thinking about this problem
Very well said!
Sadly he is telling the truth. His speech is almost bringing me to tear I was born and raised a muslim but honestly this problem exist. People forget the message of prophet Mohammad(pbuh), he said he was sent to the universe both humans and jinns. There is actually a racial group of muslims that like to treat every other racial group muslims like trash muslims and look down on the rest of muslims. MY ADVICE: TO all reverts or converts and every other muslims that feels like they're being pushed out; know that Islam cannot be monopolized! and do not let no one discourage you or intimidate you. People of every color and every race became part of Islam during the time of the prophet. Do your own research online libraries find islamic groups online connect with nice muslims groups on social media etc...Stay strong 💪🏻💪🏾 to get to the real paradise with our maker. ❤❤❤
What a great lecturer! Masha Allah he is so right 💚💚💚💚 May Allah grants us understanding.
Love to buy more of his books. Hope he write more and more. ما شا الله
i m a moeslem born and been living in indonesia....i dont know in what year this seminar been delivered....but it indeed hit the mark on todays issue.....especially in my family, neighbourhood, or religious envirionmet....it is so hard to distinguish between islam as religion and islam as a tradition....leave alone islam as the way of life......and what make me sad and angry the most is.....it is like haram to prolong a discussion once an ayah or hadits been spoken....it is what it is.... without any further explanation despite the ayat or hadits seems dont correlate wtih the issue in our discussion....or......i m judged to be not a true believer or doubt the religion.....it is so funny to watch when a person seems so sure that he is a good practicing moeslem when actually he is just taking advantage of religion for their own ego....may Allah forgive us all
This touched me. I'm a Canadian white European convert/revert. We exist, Islam is for us too! Please, think of us.
Christ died for me you to
@@hughmcbeath5463 I would prefer to think that he lived for us. I'm interested in what he taught, not his suffering or death. You're throwing the prophet out with the bath water. It's his life that mattered, his message. Why focus on his supposed gruesome death?
Now is 2021 and in my country Alhamdulillah woman hv place in mosque and even our President is muslim women., i believed and hope tht now this issue hv been corrected as we can see many and many women converted to islam grow in western contry...thank you to you Sir🙏

Thank you. You’re speaking the truth. May Allah help us in America
_it is not only happening in America! If you travel you'll see it's happening all over the world! Which is unfortunate_ :) _The question is: How can we fix it?!_

I,am impressed baraka Allahou fik brother
Thanks for this wonderful lecture.
Does Dr. Jeffrey Lang have a UA-cam channel?
He has disappeared I can't find him. I hope he is in great health
He sounds so clearly frustrated to have to argue about the culture that's encompassed the common muslims when we could be doing more important things, like researching the interpretations and ideologies of Islam. I relate to these people he is speaking up for. Islam is blessed to have a credible man like him to stand up there and talk about the things no one else wants to talk about. Indeed the converts have shamed us when we fail to practice the true teachings of Allah, and they become the more knowledgeable, more curious and more embracing of "our" religion.
What do you mean by "ideologies?" Islamic articles of Iman and aqeedah based on the kalam of Allah and the authentic Sunan ARE our ideology. Interpretations of the dunya happen on the basis of the shariah of Allah and nor the other way around. Yes, we have opinions in fiqh, but that is not the same as having opinions on set rulings.
@@holdshiftt2run308 I think the sister has a point. Most of the Muslims today are more soaked in to the dunya where the reverts to Islam are more focused on Islam. Surely she didn't mean to discredit Islam. I get what she is saying. We should be more focused on reawakening ourselves and knowing who and what we are.
What he is talking about is a Evil Dajjal plan what you and many cant see but Alhmdulilah many do see it and dismiss its evil plans.
ISLAM IS for ALL , who SEEK ! There is NO
“OUR Religion”!
@@holdshiftt2run308 You just said nothing.. You proved her point.. You know clearly that there are contentions about the Kalam of the Rasoul and Allah swt unless you're talking about the Quran. Obviously there's disagreements about what is Sahih 😂 So why even say that
Love from India jeffrey because of your videos my knowledge increases for Islam ❤
You Said The Truth Sir, And The Words you Say Is From Your Heart. I Am With You, Go Ahead Sir. Allah May Help Us.
What a great observation, Jeffrey keep up the good work may Allah reward you Amin thumma Amin
👍🏻! Yes let’s be tolerant and kind to our children as they have to strive between two cultures & learn to exist … and grow as Muslims in real Islam which is a Universal Religion. 💫
ISLAM IS VERY CLEAR TO WE ALL ON THE PLANET.IT JUST DEMANDS SOMETHING TO DO AND SOMETHING NOT TO DO.IT DEMANDS SPEAK TRUE,WRITE TRUE,READ TRUE,TEACH TRUE SO WE ALL AT ALL LEVELS BEHAVE WITH OTHERS LIKE PEACEFUL AND KIND HUMAN BEINGS.AND IT TEACHES WE ALL THAT IF YOU ARE NOT GOOD WITH YOUR FAMILY YOU ARE NOT GOD WITH ANYBODY SO YOU CHEAT SOME BODY OR BEING CHEATED BY SOMEBODY.THUS THE NUCLEOLUS OF THE ISLAM IS BE FAIR,FREE AND TRANSPARENT WHILE DEALING WITH OTHERS.AND IF NOT YOU ARE NOT TRUE TO ALLAH TOO.
Very informative and touches the basic problem at an intellectual level..
Simply impressive.
Nevermind 53, I'm 67 and finally understanding , perhaps why the door was shut upon the mother and daughter etc. Shaytaan is ever present when it comes to the nafs . We have to keep our hearts pure of distractions- as far as possible,lest the door of fitna be opened.
As for the academicians, and I'm one myself (South African female), you do us proud alhamdullilah, however it is a side issue compared to our purpose and destination
Thank you for this. I am a Muslim Woman by birth, and a Immigrant in UK.. in Mecca I was free to be in the Haram. I have not been given that freedom in the Masjids of UK. May our children change that. Sorry we could not.
@Byron Perry God save us from devils like byron perry Amen !
he is making a statement here ….. a deep and important one
May Allah SWT forgive those men who chase the women away from the Masjid SubhaanAllah.
May Allah SWT guide those revert women back to Islam Allahu Akbar
Jazak Allahu khairun brother Jeffrey. May Allah Subhanahu wa Taala grant you more of his fortunes and blessings !
I would like to say that treatment of women as 2nd or 3rd person is there in our Arabic countries,but has nothing to do with Islam but by the male nature of understanding in our communities.
Wow...a very interesting explanation, professor. I can feel his concern about the fading quality of the next generation of Islam in America. On the other hand, I understand how hard the struggle of the Islamic missionaries in the midst of the massive onslaught of a hedonistic and liberal lifestyles there. I pray for the professors and Islamic missionaries there, may they always be given fortitude and patience in carrying out their sacred duties there. Greetings from Indonesia 🙏
Agreed 1 million time with professor
Great lecture. The gentleman in the panel and the questions, on the other hand, speak volumes about the sad state of the immigrant-based Muslim institutions and mosques. Very hard to change. I recommend looking at modern enlightened scholars such as the late Dr. Mohamed Shahrour (RIP).
Dr IYAYA sir
You’re such a delightful person and a dedicated doctor, you truly are an inspiration. doctor IYAYA on UA-cam are always busy and in a hurry, but whenever I visit your clinic you give your sincere and undivided attention. Having an appointment is always worth the visit. You have no idea how much of a blessing you are to us. Thanks for being such an amazing doctor IYAYA on UA-cam you are giving treatment for free to many of poor which really appreciable..
His ikhlas should be appreciated... Allah help
So sad...may Allah guide us all
Ameen thumma Ameen
Love and respect for dr Lang for drawing attention to the pertinent issue of winning children back to their faith to spread the message of Allah the Lord of all
Excellent speech and the final question and answer was very good too…
Masha Allah..... Alhamdulillah
As a Malaysian student living in Melbourne for 14 years, a lot of these is so true concerning our migrant brothers & sisters, too insular, too much cultural baggage. Is is their fault? Maybe partly, let's face it a lot of economic migrants & not the most enlightened intellectually. When mosques are identified by the "nation" that builds it , you can see how welcome the sisters feel.
what a man...may Allah bless u Jeff u...thanks for talking straight truth

Great lecture about the concerns of our younger generation and converts from different backgrounds. Need a Mecca 🕋 plan as brother Jeffrey said. Allah bless you
But we are Waaaaayyyy past the Mecca phase. We are what comes after the first three generations and the righteous people who came after them.
Deer lovely brother professor jeffrey, first of all we wanna to thank you about your wonderful lecture, we totally agree about your speech, brother May allah plese you all. 🌱🌹🌵🌵🌺💐
What a great teacher.
Huge respect for jeff
Dr Jeff and the other speakers, may Allah increase you in your imaan, knowledge, health and all type of khair..ameen
Alhamdulillah... Big fan of Professor Jeffrey Lang
I live in Cape Town and we face the same issue where dinosaurs are more focused on tradition and culture rather than focus on the tawgheed of the religion. Today we are a laughing stock with kur separate days and arguing about the days of Eid. Our leaders have taken us backwards and our community are happy to engage in this backwardness. The small things become big things. May Allah bless this speaker amd spread the message. Ameen
I totally agree with professor Jeffry proposal to master the modern research techniques before entering into any field in Islamic studies that can be in higher educational
The sad part is the panel straightaway disagreed with his idea of working out to include new reverts and newer generations to the community by having a new gathering or so. I do agree it might create divide but the need for divide should be rectified.
They did exactly what he was referring in his talks. He is being shot down immediately without a second thought. I guess this is same all over the world. Culture and pride over their lineage (Muslim lineage) over the new reverts.
I guess he just wanted the newer generations to be included, even the fact the speaker who called him felt a bit irritated(maybe) by his topic title. Even the male counterpart explaining as if we expect Angels in mosques? Really reverts expect angels? They have stronger understanding and more rational thoughts than most of the Muslims altogether. Allahu Alam.
May Allah make our new brothers and sisters in Islam to follow through their hardships and ease in their understanding and practicing of Islam.
@Humanica this is the best I could do as I don't stay in his country (USA). I can try changing the outlook of the people in my locality.
Yoy are all very intelligent and enlightened may Allah reward you with the best reward
May God have mercy upon you brother. May you get satisfaction and wonderful results for the efforts you do for our community. The awareness of what is happening with our chikdren and converts is absolutely required. I have been amongst those ignorant regarding the points mentioned in this video.
May God continously accept our good deeds and increase us in sincerity, knowledge and wisdom. Let's strive for the reward of God, the Omnipitent. Perpetual residences, gardens of eternal bliss, never ending reward. May God forgive us, our parents, our children our spouses, our believing neighbors, brothers and sisters.
Go on brother ... this best lecture on arrogant muslim so call "ameer/leader" who are misusing .... Till now. I wish this video played on the before jummah-prayer often in every mosque...we need to remind each other that no-one own Islam... it is for everyone....
His point: that we are now in the Mecca phase, startled me that-in a micro scale of a community- as a mom I take the wrong approach in educating my kids about Islam..
Beautiful lecture
manshaa Allah tabaarakallah we need a people like him and may Allah protect him bithmillaah
With great respect to the speaker, and speaking as a revert of these past few years, I can share an answer of sorts. The conflict of a developing Islam is that between understanding what the individual cultivates in his Heart versus what that individual is advised Islam is by the people around them. Since professing Shahada I have sought out numerous sources and resources seeking camaraderie and community. As a result I get regular solicitations for goods and services. Further, presentations such as this one are riddled with Have-to-s, Got-to-s and judgements. Experts in Islam are very long on the Whats and very limited on the Hows. Start pressing about the singular nature of the individual's daily struggle within their own heart and conversation sorta dries up. Should Islam degrade-- may God determine otherwise--- it will proceed from men who approach the Word of God seeking for what they can Get rather than what they can Contribute.
Unfortunate reality everywhere not only in America! It's incredible how he included himself in the community despite everything! Yes we should go back to the source. Extremism has no place in Islam! The prophet saw was so tolerant and wise. Beautiful event... thanks for sharing!!
So if someone disagreed with the prophet, would he smile and agree to disagree?
If someone criticises the prophet now, if I said he is sex obsessed, would you tolerate that?
38:05 Islam gives the most freedom of speech. You have to question everything with logic. And the answers are there if you look deep enough. I agree 100% with brother Jeffery, May Allah SWT reward him and wake up our community towards the problems he is discussing here. Z
Jazak Allah khairan.
But unfortunately like brother stated here, many of our leaders are ignorant in this regard.
I see in Sheikh Yasir Qadhi the same sentiment and notion Mister Lang experienced all these years prior, truly his lessons and speech have taken root in the hearts of (some) of our scholars, Elhamdulilah. May Allah never leave shame us by taking away critical reasoning and sound guidance from our minds, truly intelligence and critical thinking was favoured and encouraged in the early days of Islam. Our mother Aisha RA would ask striking, blunt questions at times when the Prophet Muhammad SAW narrated something regarding Islam, always willing to communicate and answer the questions that came forth.
The only reason they weren't afraid to ask these blunt, probing but critical questions is BECAUSE the Prophet Muhammad SAW had a demeanor of calm and trust, welcoming these questions to further educate this Ummah. Ya Allah, thank you for all that you've given us!
an eye opener thought, great...
Let the ulamas hear...how can we deny the rights of women, while lslam is grown by support of our mother khadeeja(RA).... thank you brother,... from lndia
Brainwashing complete ! Dajjal hes plans and work are to hard to understand and even catch it from the person that is used to do the evil plan work to penetrate the islam world by using Women's rights. This is just foolish and dumb to believ this man is doing good work for islam by wanting to change the islam roles what is not made up story or made by ulama group But Made by Allah swt. No one can change that even if you all join this evil group dajjals path. Goodluck!
Actually, localities that are not conducive for muslimah to come to the masjids centered around the 'Indian continents'
Unfortunately it’s true... but no one seems to talk about it openly...
Luckily things are changing in some places where these issues were (are).
Maa shaa Allaah bro my Allaah protect you and your family
Very eye opening speech. Very honest and objective.
thank you sir,i will try my best to carry the pride of Islam....,rain or shine even high and low....,😓😢
Thank God in 30yrs I haven't seen this happen to Women in Canada
What a wonderfull anylasis of our lazy community which has stopped to struggle hard.please wake up other wise get trampled over.even jannat is not free. May Allah bless us all.

this brother is always excellent in his speeches and speaks from the heart ma Allah be pleased :)
Aslm lecture so true and was recorded in 1980s and now the year 2021...the system we live in really take God out of equation esp in schools..Allah protect our umma
I’m a born Muslim and what Dr Lang says resonates with me far more than what I hear from many religious leaders who to me are trying to apply their small minded thinking and create artificial limits and constraints. Islam was never meant to be difficult or a burden. Doing the right thing should be easy.
If it isn’t, it’s worth questioning why we are having trouble.
Superb lecture. Basically on the spot
Alhumdulilah, this is also what Sheik Imran Hosein has been saying. We must investigate and research for ourselves what we have been told about Islam and other ppl's interpretation of Islam.
That is the problem of many born muslims today. They remain following ancient or outdated paradigms. But we know in Islam, women have the right to go to the mosques. They have space alloted for them to worship, to talk and mingle with other women believers.
mashallah!
Jeff has hit the core issue that has put our younger generation at a very high risk. Islamic Center is Iconic for 2 decades where women and men pray together with a divider for physical separation. He is right, that Muslim community is in need to weed out the culture out of the religion. May Allah help Jeff’s voice take traction in the communities to save the future of our next generation to come.
Islamic Center of Toledo in Ohio has been practicing to pray the way it is practice in Medina.
I'd like to offer my two cents:
The blonde hair thing is only an inadvertent reaction from a person who is of a community that is taught by the west that they are inferior to them. So when a person with blonde hair and blue eyes, a person of "superior race" converts to Islam, (revert is the correct term here but I digress) it validates their religion and they are overjoyed. Brown men need to be taught that Allah created them equal to all the men he created and this is, unfortunately, easier said than done. I am a Turkish man and it pains me to see people showing so much pathetic affection to westerners -"expats"- when they speak broken Turkish for the very same reason but they are quick to dismiss any middle eastern trying to communicate with them. This is called inferiority complex.
Generally speaking, reverts appreciate the religion of Allah better than the ones that are born into Muslim societies, that's what I observe anyway. Mr. Lang here is trying to give something back to the Muslim community, not just the Muslim community in the US, we as all the Muslims are one nation after all, as he appreciates how Allah has blessed him with Islam better than your average Muslim who is born into a Muslim family. May Allah be pleased with him and all the reverts and the rest of the Muslims. There is also the "pride" of born-into-Muslim-family Muslims that has no basis in the actual religion. The lady gave the perfect answer to the man who tried to dismiss him as "just" a convert by saying the companions were all converts and if that man had a heart the would have broken down in tears in that instant and asked forgiveness and guidance from Allah as well as asking the lady's forgiveness.
I have been trying to initiate some thinking into the minds of my family and friends who are also Muslims but so far they would not relinquish the defence of what they had seen from the ones before them and start actually reading what Allah has revealed for us all. Change is difficult. It is also easier for people to take what has been preached to them by people whom they see as authorities at face value, rather than actually opening the Qur'an and trying to find what those people were preaching to them. The primary source of the religion is the Qur'an and not some guy unless the guy is not some guy but he is the prophet Muhammad PBUH.
After saying all these there is the fact that women have a more domestic role in the society of Islam compared to men and this is a take it or leave it situation and it is not easy for people who had been raised by modern western values to accept. But things like slamming doors on women's faces are pure misogyny and Islam has no place for that.
Arabs need to understand that the religion of Islam is not theirs and theirs alone. What some of them are doing is awfully similar to what jews have been doing and that cannot ever be good.
Allah knows the best.
Well put
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Salam my Turkish brother, for me you are right and you wrote mashaallah a lot of my thoughts and feelings... Brother not all Arabs are like....
🌺
I totally agree with you, we have the same thoughts 👍
Alhamdulilah
I love Brother Jeffrey Lang i hope he reached he's goal to change the mentality of those who mingled culture and Islam to create distance
All Muslims are equal and the reverts are in my opinion better than who born in a muslimhouseholds
Very nice speech Jazakallah khair we need to be better Muslims all of us and work hard for our future
Mashaalla
Мне нравится наш брат ,он говорит истину
Jazak Allahu khairun brother
In my thinking all problems started in one place whereby we have taken the first priority in the secular education than religious education for our childrens. Only way to win in this we have to change that....
salaam
جزاه الله الجنة
He is so right
You are so right. I made the same observations." God hasn't given you this book so that you will be miserable". There are too many unhappy Muslims who are working night & day just to stay out of hell. People have not grasped that Allah is Al Rahman Al Rachiem. and that God isn't sitting around waiting for us to make a mistake so he can punish us.
Thank you. Now I hope we listen.
💗💗💗💗💗 we should take action about this don't ignore. Lets do our very best urgently
