I remember being moved by your kutbah, on the first Friday Jummah of my young adult life, as a first year student at NYU. I bought one of your books, your fiction. But I didn’t know you in the middle when you were famous. I just remember how you weaved lots of ideas together really magnificently. I was always really intimated to say anything in person. But here on Substack I have some thoughts and opinions.
My husband and I were just watching this same clip and reflecting on the magnitude of his words.
Asak,
Very thought provoking post on so many different levels.
Haroon, I knew you before you were famous lol.
