Bring faith, purpose and thoughtful action together. Towards Sacred Activism by Imam Dawud Walid is a concise guide to approaching social justice through Islamic principles, written especially for Muslims living in the West.
Across 75 pages, it explores how serving others and standing for justice can remain connected to worship, sound knowledge and good character. A useful read for students, community volunteers and anyone reflecting on their responsibilities towards others.
What you’ll explore
- The meaning of justice and the responsibility to enjoin good and forbid evil.
- Preparing for action through sincere intentions, knowledge, consultation and checking facts.
- Accountability, compassion and good manners when addressing wrongdoing.
- Working with others in social justice coalitions while maintaining religious principles.
- Spiritual self-care alongside service to the community.
