Khateebah Aziza Hasan is an interfaith activist who delivered the 6th khutbah on May 22nd, 2015. In the midst of a growing tide of hate speech, Aziza explores the wisdom of the Noble Quran in how to empower children to respond to hate speech with compassionate action. Her khutbah highlights diversity as the Will of the Almighty, and how we might rise to the challenge of truly embracing that Will by competing against one another in doing good works.
