Video description: Lecture by Abu Khadeejah Abdul Wahid which was delivered in Middlesbrough (UK) in early 2011.

On the authority of Abu ’Amr — and he is also called Abu ’Amrah — Sufyan bin Abdullah ath- Thaqafee (may Allah be pleased with him) who said:
I said, “O Messenger of Allah, tell me something about al-Islam which I can ask of no one but you.” He (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, “Say I believe in Allah — and then be upright (and steadfast).”

[Sahih Muslim, The Book of Faith, CHAPTER: CONCERNING THE COMPREHENSIVE ATTRIBUTES OF ISLAM, No. 62]
