"Know Yourself to Know Your Lord" Pre-Khutbah Bayan by Ustadha Hosai Mojaddidi (9/25/15)

Ustadha Hosai Mojaddidi delivers the pre-khutbah bayan (talk) at the OC pop-up jumma'a for The Women's Mosque of America on September 25th, 2015. In her bayan, she explains the four possible personality types and how each individual connects with God in a way that is unique to their personality type; for example, some people have an intellectual connection with God, while others connect through love, prayer, or activism. In learning more about ourselves and embracing our unique personality types, we unlock the key to understanding and deepening our connection with God.
