Biography of Suhaib Webb

Suhaib Webb, born William Webb in 1972, is a prominent American Muslim leader, educator, and public speaker known for his efforts to bridge traditional Islamic scholarship with contemporary societal issues. Raised in Oklahoma in a Christian family, he underwent a transformative journey after converting to Islam in 1992, which led him to abandon a career in hip-hop music to pursue Islamic studies.

The Washington Post hasn’t learned much since 2002, when it tried to sell Anwar Al Awlaki, the top al-Qaeda leader Obama droned in Yemen in 2011, as a kindly spiritual man who said things like: “There’s always this association between Islam and terrorism, when that is not true at all – I mean, Islam is a religion of peace.”

Now it prints this gem by Donahue: “Webb aims to make classical Islam relevant to modern Americans and to help a hate-addled world see that, if the prophet Muhammad were alive today, he’d be politically in sync with Bernie Sanders. He’d be tolerant of gays and abortion, and he would, like Webb’s long-ago rap idols, be sickened by the systematic racism pervading America.”

Ironically, Webb first came across the FBI’s radar when he showed up with Awlaki at a 2001 California fundraiser for convicted cop killer, Islamist radical, and black nationalist Jamil Al Amin, a.k.a. H. Rap Brown. The FBI, which was surveilling Awlaki due to his relationship with the 9/11 hijackers, noted that Webb and Awlaki raised $100,000 for the murderer that night. Recently, Webb has apologized to ISIS for “speaking ill” of it, which didn’t stop ISIS from putting out a kill fatwa against him.

i think i want to become muslim but i’m not sure what steps to take in learning more, praying, and everything else. i want to keep my decisions quiet from my family right now, (i live with them, they’re culturally christian) until i’m ready. do you have any digestible steps to take for someone whose very much just a baby when it comes to islam? thank you.

Salam to you and welcome!! Your message made me so happy and I just want to begin by saying I know this can feel like a new, strange process. My inbox and messages are always open to you whenever you want someone to talk to - and it can be about anything at all. You are not alone and there's a whole community here that will support you through this :)

1. If possible, try to connect with other Muslims in your community as well!! Having someone to speak to face to face is always super helpful, and many mosques have support groups for new reverts. At my mosque, we'd have parties and seeing the sisters all get excited when a new revert came in was always fun. My revert friends always cite a support group (or friend!) as one of the most helpful resources throughout any stage of the process. There are also plenty of online resources. Sheikh Suhaib Webb in NYC is a revert sheikh who's always eager to help people exploring Islam mashaAllah. He also answers a lot of questions people may have on his IG, so he'd be a great person to reach out to if you want!

2. Salah (or the physical prayer)

Salah is arguably the most important tool for any Muslim to have! It was given as a gift from Allah to us and connects us with Him 5 times a day. Here is a kids video outlining the steps for salah in simple terms and with romanized Arabic. Here is a revert sharing some of her tips for salah. Here are the steps for wudhu (or the purification we do before we pray). Fun fact: the purification is a means of preparing ourselves to stand before Allah, and as we wash our body, we erase our sins between each wudhu in the process!

3. Stories of the Prophets!

I think children's resources are best for you as they often explain things in a way that's super easy to understand for someone who may not have familiarity with Islam (and Arabic can be hard for people with no background in the language.

Here are a few playlists/videos (feel free to explore them at your leisure):

(1) (2) (3) (4)

4. The Quran: the Quran is the word of Allah. It's so soothing for the soul and I love randomly opening the Quran and reading a page to see what Allah wants to tell me today :) of course, it's in Arabic, but there's plenty of English resources out there to help you read and begin exploring the book of Allah!

Miracles of the Quran

Full animated course on understanding the Quran

The Quran in English & Arabic to read

Listen to the Quran (super calming) with English subtitles

I think these are good beginner's resources (although if you want something more mature than the kids' resources please let me know! I completely understand if you'd prefer that, I just thought these would be easier to understand and follow along with :). I don't want to overwhelm you with resources, but if you want to learn more about something in particular, have questions, or just want to explore some of these topics - feel free to reach out! May Allah make this journey smooth and peaceful for you!!

(As always if anyone has anything to add, please do!)

Merry Christmas to my Christian brothers and sisters

I also started watching a bit of this lecture that Imam Suhaib Webb was doing on time management, stress and something else. And I started listening to two podcasts, one on queer Muslims/ramadan/life as a queer&trans muslims (forgive me if I already said this) and another from this podcast called see something say some thing. The first podcast (queer muslim one) was really good! Will post the photo below so you can find it. I was listening on spotify. And then the second podcast is just the name I mentioned above and it might say buzzfeed next to it. If I like the rest of the Imam Webb lecture I'll share it here.
