Date: 2023-08-15

Br. Danish Qasim talks about how even an Islamic scholar can be duped by spiritual abusers in our community and the harm that happens when community or religious figures (Sheikhs or Imams) use Islam and exploit congregant's sincerity for personal gain or to harm others. 

In this talk titled "Spiritual Abuse: What Every Muslim Needs to Know," Brother Danish cites examples like the abuse of children, financial scams, bullying, manipulation, creating cults, and secret marriages. Watch the entire talk at https://youtu.be/xb7g5Py3fcg
