In a lecture that took place in Jamaica, our noble brother, Abū Ḥakīm, gives some concise advice regarding Islām’s solution to crime in Jamaica; however, this beautiful advice is one that applies to all countries, towns, and cities across the world. Indeed our Noble Messenger Muḥammad (ṣallallāhu ʿalayhī wa-sallam) was sent as a Mercy to mankind by Allāh (subḥānahu wa taʿāla) in order to deliver them from the darkness of polytheism, debauchery, and immorality to the light of Tawḥīd, Sunnah, upright morals and beautiful character.

The Believers Are of Three Categories
1) Those who race towards the good: They are those who establish the obligated and recommended things and abstain from the impermissible and disliked things.
