When polled, most Americans say they do not know a Muslim. More than 80 percent of media coverage about Islam and Muslims is negative, and Muslims have often found themselves at the center of social and political debate. When it comes to Muslim Americans, the narrative is more often created about our community by the media and by politicians, not by Muslim Americans themselves. If American Muslims do not define themselves individually and collectively, they leave themselves vulnerable to being defined by others.

Our 3rd Yaqeen | ISPU Talk Toolkit addresses the issue of Authentically Reclaiming the Narrative about Islam and Muslims. Download the complete toolkit script now or send to your Imam to bring this relevant topic to your mosque: https://yaqeeninstitute.org/?p=10115

The Yaqeen | ISPU Talk Toolkits are specifically developed as a tool to empower and equip Imams, youth directors, MSA leaders, and Islamic schools to address topics relevant to the concerns of American Muslims today. 

Each Talk Toolkit contains a primer to the khutbah topic, the khutbah script itself, and a recording of the khutbah delivered by a local Imam or youth director.
