Safwan ibn al-Muattal (ra) was a Bedouin warrior from Banu Sulaym, trusted with the most exposed job in the army: staying behind everyone else to make sure no one got left in the desert. When he found the wife of the Prophet ﷺ alone and asleep, left behind by accident, he said exactly one sentence the entire journey back to Medina.

That silence should have protected him. Instead, it became the center of one of the most damaging rumors in early Islamic history, and he was never even asked to defend himself before it spread.

What the Prophet ﷺ said about him, and what he let Safwan (ra) do to the man who started the rumor, is not what you'd expect.

Discover the story of the companion history almost left out of his own scandal, the cost of being slandered while doing exactly the right thing, and what the Prophet ﷺ's response teaches about restoring a man's honor without ever needing him to ask for it.

A tension has opened up in Muslim communities: Is it right to talk about salah, hijab, or personal worship while Gaza is under siege and Al-Aqsa remains under occupation? One camp says centering these "smaller" matters right now is a distraction. Another says losing sight of them in the name of bigger issues comes at its own cost.

In this khutbah, Dr. Omar Suleiman directly addresses the hierarchy of priorities in Islam, and where both camps may be missing something the other has right. The aim isn't to pick a side, but to reconcile what preservation of faith and standing for justice actually require of a Muslim in this moment.

There's a version of history where slavery just sort of ends, where enough people had a change of heart and the world moved on. That's not what happened. Every legal and religious system on earth treated it as permanent, inevitable, untouchable—except one.

In this episode, Shaykh Mohammad Elshinawy traces how Islamic law approached slavery from its very first rulings, why total abolition wasn't immediate, and how the religion built a structure that made the institution's disappearance a matter of time.

This episode covers:

— Slavery before Islam, and why almost every civilization had it

— What the Bible and Roman law actually permitted regarding slaves

— The Quranic pathways out of bondage and who was obligated to fund them

— What the Prophet ﷺ's final words reveal about his priorities

— How a single marriage freed an entire tribe

A Companion who fought beside the Prophet ﷺ at Badr helped spread the worst slander in Islamic history. Mistah ibn Uthatha (ra), relative of Abu Bakr (ra) was flogged for his role in the slander of Aisha (ra), and the verse of the Qur’an that reversed Abu Bakr's vow to cut him off.

Dr. Omar Suleiman walks through who Mistah was, his lineage, his nickname, his standing as one of the first Muhajireen and a veteran of Uhud and Khaybar,and how Surah An-Nur 24:22 directly overturned Abu Bakr's private vow to stop supporting him.

A scholar of the Salaf spent time in prison, and he knew exactly why. Forty years earlier, he'd insulted someone with a single word, and he traced his own hardship straight back to that moment.

From a hadith describing a black spot that appears on the heart with every sin, to a hafidh who forgot the entire Qur'an except one verse, to the red and orange skies that covered Toronto this July, this khutbah moves through what actually happens when a person sins, and why the effects never simply stay in the past.

In this khutbah, Shaykh Ibrahim Hindy examines the consequences of sin: how it clouds the heart, how it steals knowledge, how it drains the sweetness from what's halal, and why istighfar is the only thing strong enough to undo it.

Will Islam one day look unrecognizable, the way other major religions have? The Prophet ﷺ left his ummah a stark warning: don't follow previous nations into a lizard's hole. It's a call to hold firm to your faith, even when the crowd moves elsewhere.

In this episode, Dr. Omar Suleiman talks about the 10 patterns that led other religions astray and what every Muslim needs to watch for today.

The Companions of the Prophet (s) welcomed correction because they cared more about being right with God than being right in the room. Somewhere along the way, we lost that instinct and replaced it with defensiveness when we’re corrected and ego when we’re correcting.

In this Snapshot, Imam Tom Facchine breaks down how to hold people accountable without letting it tip into ego, and why Islam has always demanded truth over comfort.

This episode covers:
— Why taking correction personally is a spiritual red flag
— How identity-first thinking replaces truth-first thinking
— The Qur'anic test for figuring out what's actually true
— What Malcolm X's life shows us about the courage to change your mind

Abu Bakr (ra) wasn't just the first man to accept Islam. He was the first to believe without hesitation, to sacrifice without calculation, and to stand beside the Prophet ﷺ when everyone else stepped back.

From freeing slaves and spending his wealth for Allah, to protecting the Prophet ﷺ during the Hijrah, his life is a lesson in unwavering conviction, humility, and trust in Allah.

In this khutbah, Shaykh Ibrahim Hindy explores what made Abu Bakr as-Siddiq (ra) the greatest Companion of the Prophet ﷺ and why his example remains as relevant today as ever.

A time is coming when liars will be seen as trustworthy, and the honest will be branded as deceivers. The Prophet ﷺ warned us about becoming one of these people—including the person who has an opinion on everything, yet contributes nothing.

In this lecture, Dr. Omar Suleiman dives deep into this powerful warning and what it means for how we carry ourselves, speak, and show up for the people around us.

The next time you raise your hands, don’t stop asking Allah to change your circumstances. But before you ask Him to change your world, ask Him to change your heart. Sometimes the greatest answer to a du’a is not that Allah changes what surrounds you, but that He changes who you become within it.

Memorize this du’a that the Prophet ﷺ would make.

“O Allah grant me Your love and the love of those whose love will benefit me with You. O Allah, whatever you have provided me of that which I love, then make it strength for me for that which You love. O Allah, and what you have kept from me of that which I love, then make it for me a period of rest in that which You love.”

اللَّهُمَّ ارْزُقْنِي حُبَّكَ وَحُبَّ مَنْ يَنْفَعُنِي حُبُّهُ عِنْدَكَ اللَّهُمَّ مَا رَزَقْتَنِي مِمَّا أُحِبُّ فَاجْعَلْهُ قُوَّةً لِي فِيمَا تُحِبُّ
اللَّهُمَّ وَمَا زَوَيْتَ عَنِّي مِمَّا أُحِبُّ فَاجْعَلْهُ لِي فَرَاغًا فِيمَا تُحِبُّ
[Source: Tirmidhi #3491, Hassan]

The Prophet ﷺ told the Sahabah that abandoning 1/10th of what they were commanded would ruin them. Then he told them that a day would come when holding on to that 1/10th would be enough to save an entire generation.

What changed between these two moments isn’t the religion. It’s what it cost to hold on to it.

Dr. Omar Suleiman illustrates how knowledge and religion decay in the same fashion, not stripped away suddenly, but worn out like a “thin garment” until people are left holding the shape of faith but with none of its weight.

The Prophet ﷺ gave us a chilling warning: a time is coming when knowledge will quietly vanish, leaving ignorance in its wake.

And where knowledge fades, chaos and immorality will thrive.

Are we already living in this era? Learn why protecting sacred knowledge, and the scholars who carry it, is our final line of defense.

We've all witnessed natural disasters, but among the signs of the Day of Judgment is when these disasters intensify beyond anything we've known: winds that wipe out entire communities, fire raging across the ocean, the earth itself in rebellion. And perhaps that rebellion mirrors our own.

In this episode, Dr. Omar Suleiman explores what these signs truly mean and how the Prophet ﷺ responded when he witnessed them himself, even something as seemingly ordinary as a strong wind filled him with a sense of urgency and reflection.

Learn the principles he taught us for understanding when nature turns extreme, while reflecting on the verse,

“Corruption has spread on land and sea as a result of what people’s hands have done, so that Allah may cause them to taste ˹the consequences of˺ some of their deeds and perhaps they might return ˹to the Right Path˺.” (Qur’an 30:41)

When the world falls silent and it feels like no one truly understands the depth of your struggles, remember that your pain is never invisible to Allah.

Even when the strongest hearts feel vulnerable and words fail to explain what you are going through, Allah sees every hidden tear and knows exactly what you have endured.

This moving khutbah serves as a comforting reminder that when human empathy reaches its limits, divine mercy and understanding are infinite.

In Islam, a good ending is not because of chance.

Rather, it is pursued with intention and striving. While "luck" may seem to decide the final moment of a game, our lives operate on an entirely different principle. Allah has given us the means to shape how we live and how we leave this world.

This khutbah explores what it means to strive for a good ending and why that pursuit is one of the most important of our lives.

The Prophet ﷺ leaned in and whispered heavy words into the ear of Uthman (ra).

He ﷺ warned of a coming tide of tribulations that would peak after his passing, leaving his Companions with a single, important command: "Stick to the trustworthy ones."

He ﷺ cautioned that true safety in these times would belong only to those spared from three world-altering trials. Learn about these and many other precise predictions of the Prophet ﷺ about the future.

You’ve been Muslim your whole life and yet you still feel like a stranger to your religion. You’re not alone, and you’re not the first.

In this khutbah, Dr. Omar Suleiman addresses one of the most common and least talked about struggles in the Muslim community. The feeling that your faith has always been there, but never truly felt like yours.

Du’a mentioned by Dr. Omar Suleiman:

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ الثَّبَاتَ فِي الأَمْرِ وَالْعَزِيمَةِ عَلَى الرُّشْدِ

Allahumma inni as’aluka ath-thabata fi al-amr, wa al-azimata ‘ala ar-rushd.

O Allah, I ask You for steadfastness in all matters, and for determination upon right guidance.

What can a single ant teach us about how to live?

In Surah an-Naml, the Quran captures an exchange between Prophet Sulayman (peace be upon him) and an ant warning its colony of approaching danger, a moment Allah chose to preserve for all generations.

Sh. Mohammad Elshinawy shares lessons from the surah on mercy that extends beyond those who look like us, the responsibility to contribute rather than curse the times we live in, and the wisdom of pairing advice with explanation rather than authority. It closes with the ant's most remarkable line and what that teaches us about thinking well of others.

Uncover the wisdom of the ants in this khutbah.

One day, death itself will die.

There will be a moment when death is slaughtered between Paradise and Hellfire, and eternity finally begins. Temporary choices will become permanent realities.

This conversation wrestles with difficult but necessary questions about divine justice, mercy, and accountability. What happens when heedlessness hardens the heart? How can you seek Allah’s mercy before the door closes forever?

Join Sh. Omar Suleiman and Sh. Ali Hammuda as they reflect on the eternal nature of the Hereafter—and the powerful du’as that can cause Jannah itself to ask Allah to admit you into it.

From the events of 9/11 to San Diego: this past Monday, three Muslim men stood between two armed gunmen and the lives of 140 children.

Sh. Mohammad Elshinawy delivers this khutbah the Friday after. He reflects on the brevity of life, the honor of these three men, and the Islamophobia that has been building since 9/11.

He calls on the Muslim communities in America to respond not just with grief, but with the kind of strategic, long-term resolve that actually changes things.

Why are the first 10 days of Dhul Hijjah considered the best days of the entire year?

In this Khutbah, Dr. Omar Suleiman discusses the spiritual rewards of this sacred month and shares the essential deeds we should all strive to perform.

Whether you are seeking to renew your faith, increase your rewards, or make the most of these blessed days, this reminder provides a practical roadmap for your worship.

First all the Prophets (as) go. Then the Companions (ra). Then slowly, the righteous and good-hearted people start to dwindle until only corrupt people are left. These are signs of The Hour.

Yet even after the Prophet ﷺ passed, something of his legacy endures in our world today. What remains of Prophethood? Find out in Episode 5 of Signs of the Hour.

There is no one who is not worth saving.

Look at the incredible journey of a Companion who went from hurting Muslims to becoming one of the most influential figures in Islamic history.

This powerful story is a reminder that Allah can turn over any heart and guide whomever He wills. Before we are quick to "cancel" others, we must remember the boundless mercy and transformative power of faith. Learn why writing people off as “lost causes” is dangerous.

How can you protect yourself from the Dajjal, and the era of dajalah (deception) that comes before him?

The Prophet ﷺ gave us guidance for our protection from these trials, including multiple du’as and 20 verses from Surah al-Kahf — and he taught us to make sure that we don’t become agents of deception today.

In the heart of Medina, a young boy named Ibn Sayyad began exhibiting behaviors that defied explanation. He claimed to see visions of a throne over the water and possessed knowledge he shouldn't have known.

The rumors spread like wildfire: could this be the Dajjal, the False Messiah?

Even the Prophet ﷺ took notice, leading to a series of confrontations that left the Sahabah in awe and confusion. But the mystery didn't end there. After later claiming to embrace Islam, Ibn Sayyad made a final, cryptic statement that changed everything. Learn more about the Prophet ﷺ’s interactions with this mysterious person.

Many of us know about Khadijah (RA), but do we really know what made her exceptional? Even after her death, the Prophet ﷺ spoke of her constantly, sent meat to her old friends, and grew emotional at the sound of her sister’s voice. Listen to the khutbah by Sh. Mohammad Elshinawy to gain a new perspective on the Prophet (SAWS) and his relationship with Khadijah (RA).

How many minor signs of the Day of Judgment are still left? The answer might scare you.

History is full of people who saw the signs with their own eyes and still turned away.

Watch Signs of the Hour Episode 2 to understand the difference between the major and minor signs, why the minor signs actually demand more from you, and how to respond in a way that moves you forward.

What happens when the world tries to define you and the definition is wrong?

In this jummuah khutbah, Dr. Omar Suleiman explores Muslim identity in America and how Islam gives us the tools to reclaim our dignity when labels are used as weapons. Whether you've been called a terrorist for wearing hijab, an antisemite for supporting Palestine, or simply made to feel like an outsider, Islam has always had an answer.

Drawing from the Quran, the Prophet ﷺ, Malcolm X, and early Islamic history, this sermon unpacks what Islam teaches about racism, slander, and the ethics of naming and why Muslims are proud to carry that name no matter the cost.

If you're Muslim and navigating Islamophobia, or if you're simply curious about what Muslims believe about identity and human dignity, this khutbah is for you.

How much time do we have left?

In this new series on the signs of the Day of Judgement, Dr. Omar Suleiman addresses one of the most pressing questions of our time: are we in the end times?

In this first episode, he examines the Prophet's ﷺ response when others would ask him about the Hour. The Prophet ﷺ informed us that recognizing the signs is about preparing for the day when repentance is no longer accepted, not about predicting its arrival or becoming consumed by speculation.

Watch this episode to understand why studying the Signs of the Hour carries such weight and urgency for every believer.

When was the last time you actually showed up for Allah?

Allah says in Surah Al-Ahqaf: "We accept from them the best of what they did." Not the most. Not the longest. The best.

Ihsan is excellence in action and showing up for Allah the way He deserves, with your full heart, not whatever energy survived the day. And khushu in salah isn't a gift some people are born with. It's something you have to choose to give.

In this jummah khutbah, Dr. Omar Suleiman reflects on what ikhlas in worship actually looks like, why you can go through the motions of salah for years without ever really arriving, and how one moment of true presence with Allah can outweigh a lifetime of routine.

If your worship has started to feel empty, this is where you start.

Allah controls what you’re allowed to see. And sometimes, He lets the wicked see exactly what they want to.

This Easter, the world is reflecting on the story of Jesus. The Quran tells us directly: “They did not kill him, nor did they crucify him, but it was made to appear so to them.” (Surah An-Nisa, Verse 157). Allah didn’t just protect Isa (Jesus). He constructed an illusion. And they fell for it completely.

This is the reality of Istidraj — when Allah allows the wicked to believe they are winning, gradually drawing them toward accountability while they remain completely unaware.

So why does Allah do this? We see it today.

In the rise of authoritarian power. In the silence of the international community. In every moment where injustice appears to go unanswered. And we see it in ourselves, when we think we’ve gotten away with something and nothing happens.

In this Khutbah, Dr. Omar Suleiman explains why what you’re witnessing right now is not the full picture.

When life feels unbearable, remember this: Allah never places a burden on any soul greater than it can bear. Faith isn't only for the easy seasons of life. True worship means turning to Allah in your darkest moments and your brightest ones.

In this khutbah, Dr. Omar Suleiman explores why Allah tests those He loves, how to maintain strong faith when you're at your breaking point, and practical ways to find peace and perseverance through hardship.

What are you keeping your angels busy with? What are they building for you in Jannah, brick by brick, with the dhikr that you make every day? And how does dhikr give you the strength and courage in this life to do the right thing?

Dr. Omar Suleiman and Sh. Yaser Birjas continue to discuss gems on the benefits of dhikr (remembrance of Allah) that are outlined by Ibn al-Qayyim (rh) in his book Al-Wabil al-Sayyib min al-Kalim al-Tayyib (available in English translation under the titles “The Invocation of God” or “Remembrance of the Most Merciful”).

“How can you neglect to remember the One Who never neglects to remember you?”

Never discourage the dhikr of Allah for yourself or others, for that is a way of showing enmity to Allah and depriving yourself of the great reward of even just being present in the gatherings of remembrance.

What is ma’iyyah (with-ness) of Allah, and how do you gain it? And how can we avoid the pitfalls of our dhikr becoming mere lip service, a pursuit of spiritual ecstasy, or something that feels like a cheat code?

Dr. Omar Suleiman and Sh. Yaser Birjas continue to discuss gems on the benefits of dhikr (remembrance of Allah) that are outlined by Ibn al-Qayyim (rh) in his book Al-Wabil al-Sayyib min al-Kalim al-Tayyib (available in English translation under the titles “The Invocation of God” or “Remembrance of the Most Merciful”).

While the ummah searches for Laylatul Qadr, Masjid Al-Aqsa stands in silence. A place loved by the prophets, honored by Allah, and sacred to the hearts of believers—yet closed to those who long to pray within it.

In these blessed nights, as we raise our hands in duʿa and seek Allah’s mercy, let our hearts remember Al-Aqsa. Feel its absence. Let your duʿa reach it. May Allah protect it, honor it, and allow the believers to return to it again.

What is the connection between dhikr and light? What does the Verse of Light mean for our lives? And how do we build a life of anticipating meeting Allah and seeing Him in Jannah?

Dr. Omar Suleiman and Sh. Yaser Birjas continue to discuss gems on the benefits of dhikr (remembrance of Allah) that are outlined by Ibn al-Qayyim (rh) in his book Al-Wabil al-Sayyib min al-Kalim al-Tayyib (available in English translation under the titles “The Invocation of God” or “Remembrance of the Most Merciful”).

What is the tawbah that Allah never rejects? Many of us struggle with guilt, wondering if our prayers for forgiveness are actually being heard. In today’s khutbah, Dr. Omar Suleiman explains the spiritual mechanics of Allah’s forgiveness and why admitting your sins is the key to unlocking divine mercy.

Do you miss Allah? Is there a way to measure how far you are from Him? What does your dhikr have to do with the angels, the heavens, and His Throne? And which of your friends are remembering Him with you?

Dr. Omar Suleiman and Sh. Yaser Birjas continue to discuss gems on the benefits of dhikr (remembrance of Allah) that are outlined by Ibn al-Qayyim (rh) in his book Al-Wabil al-Sayyib min al-Kalim al-Tayyib (available in English translation under the titles “The Invocation of God” or “Remembrance of the Most Merciful”).

How does the remembrance of Allah calm your body? Can you love the Qur’an and music at the same time? Does Allah ever mention you by name? And how do you move beyond doing dhikr on autopilot?

Dr. Omar Suleiman and Sh. Yaser Birjas share gems from the first 17 benefits of dhikr (remembrance of Allah) that are outlined by Ibn al-Qayyim (rh) in his book Al-Wabil al-Sayyib min al-Kalim al-Tayyib (available in English translation under the titles “The Invocation of God” or “Remembrance of the Most Merciful”).

Ibn al-Qayyim (rh) outlines the 3 keys to happiness in this life and the next: gratitude, patience, and seeking forgiveness. And dhikr (remembrance of Allah) is essential to each of these.

As Dr. Omar Suleiman and Sh. Yaser Birjas embark on this year’s Midnight Majlis with the book Al-Wabil al-Sayyib min al-Kalim al-Tayyib (available in English translation under the titles “The Invocation of God” or “Remembrance of the Most Merciful”), they first explore ways we should prepare our hearts and lifestyles for dhikr.

How could anyone despair of a Lord who sends Laylatul Qadr? A night better than a thousand months, where Allah multiplies good deeds and forgives sins beyond what we can imagine.

Dr. Omar Suleiman reflects on Allah’s mercy and why every believer should approach these nights with hope, repentance, and longing to return to Him.

As Laylatul Qadr approaches, have you thought about what you will ask Allah for?

The last ten nights of Ramadan are the most powerful nights of the year, especially the odd nights. These are moments filled with mercy, forgiveness, and the opportunity for life-changing du’a.

In this khutbah, Dr. Omar Suleiman shares four essential du’as you should make during the last ten nights of Ramadan that can transform your life in this world and the next.

22:31 Closing Du'a

Is it an even night or an odd night?

As we enter the last 10 nights of Ramadan — the most blessed part of the entire month, and the opportunity to catch the immensely valuable Laylatul Qadr — we must not take any chances. Do your best on every single night.

Dr. Omar Suleiman also urges us to make du’a for our unjustly detained brothers and sisters in the last 10 nights of Ramadan. May Allah grant them and their families ease and hasten their release.

What are the 3 lies being sold in America right now?

From those who stood against Nuh (as) and the Prophet ﷺ to those committing crimes in Iran, the oppressors have always had foot soldiers who swallow the propaganda and genuinely believe they’re fighting for a good cause.

Dr. Omar Suleiman reflects on Surah al-Mu’minun, verse 24, and emphasizes that Muslims must urge their neighbors to realize that they are being lied to and kept afraid so that they don’t open their eyes to the truth.

What happens when powerful elites are exposed — and war follows?

Dr. Omar Suleiman reflects on the Epstein scandal, the Iran war narrative, and a powerful ayah from Surah Al-Isra about how nations fall. The Qur’an teaches that when corruption spreads among the elites, destruction follows a pattern.

Are we witnessing that pattern today? From past empires to our present moment, exposure often comes before collapse.

There are clear, black-and-white truths about the current conflict, but also many gray areas and political dynamics. How should Muslims navigate this?

Dr. Omar Suleiman reflects on leaning into your fitrah, the Qur’an’s guidance on conflict between Muslims, remembering the Names of Allah as you process the situation, and the reality that multiple things can be true at once.

Why is Surah Tawbah the only surah in the Qur’an without bismillah?

Surah Tawbah is one of the most powerful and hard-hitting chapters of the Qur’an. It opens with a final warning and disavowal, yet it is still called the Surah of Repentance. How can a surah that begins with distance still carry the name of tawbah?

This reflection explores its missing basmalah, its urgent call back to Allah, and the balance between mercy and ultimatum. Surah Tawbah reminds us that while Allah’s mercy is vast, repentance is not meant to be delayed. We do not set the timeline for our return — Allah does.

His mercy is unlimited, but our time is not.

What does it mean to feel “safe” from Allah? These powerful verses from Surah Al-A'raf contrast two states — sleeping at night and playing during the day — and expose a deeper issue: a heedless heart.

This reflection is a wake-up call about spiritual alertness, small sins we take lightly, and how to live with constant awareness of Allah without paranoia — but with purpose. Are we awake… or just moving?

The Prophet ﷺ said:

“Whoever fasts one day in the path of Allah, Allah will distance his face from the Fire by seventy years.”

In this khutbah, we reflect on the deeper meaning of this powerful hadith. We explore what it means to build distance from the Fire, why a believer should never feel secure from it, and why no act of fasting is ever small in the sight of Allah.

In Surah Al-An‘am (6:12), Allah says: “He has written mercy upon Himself.”

And in the hadith qudsi, Allah declares: “O My servants, I have made oppression forbidden for Myself…”

The One with absolute authority chose to write mercy upon Himself and make oppression haram for Himself. What does that mean for us? When you have the upper hand — at home, at work, in leadership — do you hold yourself to a higher standard? Or do you justify your actions because you can?

A powerful reminder about divine justice, mercy, and not losing yourself.

What does it truly mean to be “rooted in knowledge”?

The Qur’an praises a special group of believers — but their defining quality may surprise you. This lecture explores the difference between intellectual ego and sincere faith, the danger of twisted interpretations, and why saying “I don’t know” is actually a sign of strength. True knowledge begins with humility and ends with, “We believe in it all.”

This Ramadan, make one life-changing commitment: Surah al-Baqarah.

The Prophet ﷺ said, “Take it, for taking it is a blessing and leaving it is regret.” It brings barakah into your home, expels Shaytan, and will come as shade on the Day of Judgment for the one who holds onto it.

Less than 50 pages. One year. Start now — and meet next Ramadan with it in your heart.
May Allah make the Qur’an the spring of our hearts.

He defeated kings. He liberated Jerusalem. He broke the Third Crusade. But in the end — what mattered to him most?

Not the throne. Not the cities. Not even Jerusalem.

This episode uncovers Salahuddin’s final concern, his greatest desire, and the responsibility he placed on those who came after him.

How can you know if Allah accepted your Ramadan?

As the month comes to a close, take time to reflect deeply. Do an honest evaluation of your Ramadan. Was it transformative? Did it bring you closer to Allah?

In this powerful reminder, Dr. Omar Suleiman encourages us to assess our worship, intentions, and growth, and shares a beautiful du’a the Sahabah would recite at the beginning of a new month, teaching us how to move forward with hope and purpose.

Allah grants His mercy to whom He wills and raises whom He wills in faith. What does it mean to be among those chosen, and how can we strive to be included?

Listen to this khutbah to reflect on how Allah selects His servants for special mercy, guidance, and increase in iman, and what we can do to seek that honor.

Dr. Omar Suleiman continues his reflection on the characteristics of the Servants of the Most Merciful through Surah Al-Furqan, ayahs 70–71. In this episode, he explains how true repentance is marked by sincere regret, a firm intention not to return to sin, and a commitment to rectifying past wrongdoing.

The Servants of the Most Merciful do not plan their sins, nor do they take repentance lightly. Instead, they turn back to Allah with humility and hope, seeking His vast mercy. Watch this episode to learn how sincere tawbah can transform your mistakes into means of forgiveness and wipe away your sins.

Major sins do not happen overnight.

Dr. Omar Suleiman expands on verse 25 of Surah Furqan, “They are˺ those who do not invoke any other god besides Allah, nor take a ˹human˺ life—made sacred by Allah—except with ˹legal˺ right, nor commit fornication. And whoever does ˹any of˺ this will face the penalty.”

This episode explores how major sins line shirk, murder, and zina begin long before the act itself, through heedlessness, unchecked desires, and spiritual neglect. Learn why your lowest moments matter more than your spiritual highs, how sin develops step by step, and how believers protect their faith by staying mindful, accountable, and connected to Allah.

After Jerusalem was opened, the world didn’t celebrate — it came for revenge.

Europe gathered its greatest kings. Richard the Lionheart arrived with a mind as sharp as his sword. The siege of Acre dragged on for years until both sides were exhausted — then came a betrayal no one expected.

This is where Salahuddin is tested like never before: a shocking wedding proposal, a massacre that changed the Crusades, a Frankish mother running to the Sultan for help — and a leader who refused to become the monster he was fighting.

Extravagant or intentional? How you spend your money reveals your character. Are you crossing the line into extravagance, and how do you stay humble when you have more?

In this episode of Ibad ar-Rahman, Dr. Omar Suleiman talks about the people who remain humble even when their wealth, a test in this world, increases.

Between fear that humbles the heart and hope that lifts it, the Servants of the Most Merciful walk a path of beautiful balance.

In this fourth session of ʿIbad ar-Rahman, Dr. Omar Suleiman explores the Qur’anic verse: “Our Lord, turn away from us the punishment of Hell. Indeed, its punishment is ever enduring.” — Surah Al-Furqan, 25:65

Even as they spend their nights in prayer and their days in service, these servants never feel secure in their deeds. Their worship deepens—not in pride—but in awe, love, and trust in Allah. They fear His displeasure without falling into despair, and they hope in His mercy without growing complacent.

Join Dr. Omar Suleiman as he reflects on what it means to live between fear and hope, the two wings that carry the believer toward Allah.

In this episode of Ibadur Rahman, Dr. Omar Suleiman reflects on the next defining quality of the Servants of the Most Merciful:

“They are those who spend a portion of the night prostrating themselves and standing before their Lord.” — Surah Al-Furqan, 25:64

After a day of patience and composure among people, these devoted servants find their strength and renewal in solitude — when the world sleeps and their hearts awaken before Allah. Through the stillness of qiyām al-layl, they draw mercy, clarity, and the power to face the trials of the day.

Dr. Omar Suleiman explores how night worship becomes the believer’s anchor: a time of sincerity away from all eyes, where humility deepens, the soul is healed, and true connection to the Most Merciful is restored.

Jerusalem was liberated. The ummah celebrated. But Salahuddin knew the truth — the real war was only beginning.

Europe’s kings mobilized. Massive armies crossed land and sea. A counterattack unlike anything before was coming.

Because victory does not end wars. It invites them.

Do you really care about Ramadan? If you do, you would prepare for it the same way you prepare for the most important events in your life. Ramadan doesn’t reward last-minute effort. When you show up half-prepared, it shows in your experience. The quality of your Ramadan begins with the quality of your preparation.

“It’s a fact: the Qur’an will make you a better person, spiritually and mentally. Understanding the words of Allah will bring you closer to Him and inspire good within you. Memorizing ayat will improve your memory and make you a sharp student. Reading every day will build good habits into your routine. In this episode, Dr. Tesneem highlights how—and why—to build the Qur’an into your life, no matter how busy you are.

The sincerity of arriving first is the sincerity of enthusiasm. The sincerity of leaving last is the sincerity of endurance. But it is steady, patient endurance that keeps you grounded when everyone else has left.

Watch this lecture by Dr. Omar Suleiman on cultivating endurance in your faith and carrying it beyond moments of motivation.

Sha‘ban is a time to prepare the heart. Tame the ego now, before Ramadan begins, because the ego is what clouds judgment and pulls us toward what harms us instead of what heals us.

Listen to the full khutbah by Dr. Omar Suleiman to learn how to check your ego.

The Prophet ﷺ communicated with compassion, and that alone should be enough to know that his words were never meant to belittle or degrade others. So how do we react to statements attributed to the Prophet ﷺ that appear to do just that—especially when they seem to target women? In this episode of Real Talk, Dr. Tesneem Alkiek unpacks that tension, offering case studies from the Qur’an and Sunnah that have been misunderstood or misused, and shares how we can all feel more confident and empowered in understanding our tradition with greater clarity and depth.

Salahuddin lures the massive Frankish army out of their forts using Raymond’s wife as bait. The Crusaders march into a strategic trap — a desert without water, poisoned wells, and burning shrubs.

By the time they realize what they’ve walked into… there is no way back.

Are you among Allah’s friends, or those who stand against Him? And how would you even know? There are major sins for which Allah has promised to wage war against those who commit them. At the same time, there are deeds that earn His pleasure and draw a person closer to Him as one of His allies. Listen to the full khutbah to learn which actions bring you nearer to Allah—and which invite His anger.

It’s normal to struggle. The Prophet ﷺ said, “Faith wears out in your hearts just like clothes wear out.” So the question isn’t whether you’ll experience ups and downs—we all will.

The real question is: What will you do to renew your faith?
In this episode, Dr. Tesneem Alkiek shares how she navigated her own periods of spiritual burnout, and offers practical reflections on how to engage with the parts of Islam that might feel harder for you than for others.

Not every invitation to a seat at the table is one worth taking. Sometimes, showing up is actually selling out, and if we don’t define our limits, others will define them for us.

Imam Tom breaks down what Muslims need today: knowing when to engage, when to walk away, and how power can use our presence to legitimize injustice.

A word of affirmation that anchors you in truth. Not the kind that comforts you when you are doing wrong, but the kind that corrects you, strengthens you, and helps you remain on the right path. These are the friendships that truly matter.

Watch this lecture by Dr. Omar Suleiman on the power of authentic friendship and surrounding yourself with people who genuinely care about your faith and your future.

When a pillar of leadership disappeared, the ummah didn’t just face uncertainty—
it began to fracture.

Division spread quickly: fear, suspicion, propaganda, and leaders willing to bargain away dignity just to survive. Loyalties splintered. Cities hesitated. Unity became fragile.

And in the midst of that chaos, a name returned from the shadows—
bringing with it a plot so unthinkable it forced the entire Muslim world to respond.

Sha’ban is the month of preparation for Ramadan. Every act of worship and every good habit you build in Sha’ban sets the foundation for your best Ramadan yet.

Sha’ban is the month of training the nafs, your lower self. It’s a time to strengthen discipline, resist temptations, and silence the whisperings of Shaytan. By struggling against your desires now, you enter Ramadan spiritually ready and focused.

Listen to the full khutbah by Dr. Omar Suleiman as he explains why Sha’ban is the perfect month to prepare your heart, mind, and soul for Ramadan.

"Live your truth.” “You do you.”

Culture relentlessly pushes us to put ourselves and our happiness above all else. But if that’s the key to fulfillment, why are we more miserable than ever?

In this episode, Dr. Tesneem Alkiek unpacks the rise of individualism and moral relativism, the impact of anger on mental health, and how forgiveness and re-centering God can help us move from bitter to better.

Between school, family, friends, health, and a hundred other obligations, how could you not feel burnt out? Is there any realistic way to juggle everything and stop feeling like you have to constantly push for more?

In this episode, Dr. Tesneem Alkiek and host Qaanitah Hunter reflect on how to build a healthier rhythm rooted in consistency and balance. Because Allah loves small and steady deeds.

What you do in private is not hidden forever. On the Day of Judgment, your worship will

Is the world really against you—or is it your ego? Too often, we reject truth and reassign divine power to “the universe,” losing sight of where real control and guidance come from. This lecture delivered by Dr. Omar Suleiman challenges the delusion of self-centeredness and false self-love, calling us back to accountability, humility, and purpose.

Listen to the full lecture from the Light Upon Light Conference to learn how true growth begins with holding yourself accountable before Allah.

Salahuddin has finally come to power.

But ruling Egypt is harder than taking it. As reform begins, the weight of old systems, old loyalties, and unseen enemies presses in. Change is necessary—but it’s dangerous...

What you do in private is not hidden forever. On the Day of Judgment, your worship will be made public and it will either illuminate your path or speak against you.

Every action you take is shaping your reputation, not just in this world, but in the next. Your character, consistency, and sincerity are building a brand that follows you beyond this life. Listen to the full khutbah by Dr. Omar Suleiman.

The truth is that women face difficulties—sometimes even discrimination—in many areas of life. We cannot deny that, but at the same time, we cannot wallow in it. So how do we acknowledge these realities without letting them define or derail us? In this episode of Real Talk, Dr. Tesneem Alkiek answers this question, shares how she navigates gendered challenges, and reveals whether or not she identifies as a feminist.

Three thousand riders. One race to Egypt.

As the Ismaili dynasty collapsed, Nur ad-Din Zengi had the opportunity to take control of the regional powerhouse: Egypt. Risks, betrayals, and the Crusaders got in the way. Who was standing tall when the dust settled?

Imad ad-Din Zengi revives hope by capturing Edessa, but is quickly assassinated, causing new despair. His son, Nur ad-Din, emerges: a king raised by scholars.

He shifts the state from power (dawla) to faith (din) and abolishes all unjust taxes. But can he truly unite Damascus and Aleppo before the Second Crusade returns for revenge?

Leaders were rising—and being buried.

But behind the chaos, scholars were laying foundations history rarely credits.

This episode reveals the scholarly blueprint that produced Salahuddin—from Ibn Khashab’s urgent resistance to Imam al-Ghazali’s generational reform.

Some of the most important battles in life are fought in silence—against Shaytan, against envy, and within our own hearts. This lecture explores the quiet daily struggles that shape our faith, character, and resilience. Learn how to protect your heart, resist unseen opposition, and stay grounded in sincerity while striving for success—all for the sake of Allah.

Palestine has led many to Islam. Just in the last few weeks, long-term activist for Palestine, Robert Martin, embraced the faith after many years of working among Muslims. In this Gaza Diaries interview with Dr. Omar Suleiman, Martin recalls his earliest visits to the Holy Land, when he was warmly welcomed everywhere he went, to his recent experience on the Freedom Flotilla.

Social media is built to be addictive. It harms our mental health and damages our self-worth. We all know this...but it's still so hard to disconnect. Join Dr. Tesneem Alkiek and host Qaanitah Hunter to explore the dangers (and some of the benefits) that social media adds to our lives and learn practical ways to build a healthier relationship with it

Before Jerusalem fell, something else collapsed first.

The First Crusade wasn’t won because the Crusaders were stronger or more numerous. It succeeded through discipline, organization, and psychological warfare—while the Muslim world was divided by rival rulers, short-term thinking, and emotional reactions without strategy.

This episode traces that collapse from Europe’s mobilization to Antioch, Ma‘arra, and the fall of Jerusalem in 1099.

More importantly, it asks the uncomfortable question history leaves behind:
why did sincere people keep losing?

Allah tests His servants in different ways, and what may feel like punishment can often be a path to growth, purification, and deeper faith. In this khutbah, Dr. Omar Suleiman explains how challenges can serve as a form of refinement, drawing you closer to Allah and shaping you into a better believer.

Is hustle culture toxic? Like so much else, it’s a confusing mix of good and bad. Ambition, hard work, and high aspirations are noble, but they need to be kept in perspective. When our goals for the dunya start to outweigh our efforts for the akhirah, or when we push ourselves so hard we burn out, it’s time to stop and ask: Why? In this episode of Real Talk, reflect with Dr. Tesneem Alkiek on why culture pushes us to work so hard and whether that’s really the best way forward.

What does Islam say about karma? In what ways do our past actions affect our present and future? Listen to this khutbah by Dr. Omar Suleiman to gain deeper insight on the connections between our actions and their consequences.

Is Islam defined by men? It’s a question many Muslim women wrestle with—but maybe it’s the wrong question to begin with. Women have played an indispensable role in shaping the Islamic tradition. From hadith transmitters and legal scholars to the teachers of imams, Muslim women were never sidelined by the religion itself—even if some voices have drowned them out. In this episode, Dr. Tesneem Alkiek and host Qaanitah Hunter reframe the conversation, reminding us that while the path forward may not always be easy, it’s always there.

Before Salahuddin could unite the Muslim world, earlier leaders had to address deep internal divisions.

When radical groups like the Qarmatians stole the Black Stone and extremist factions terrorized scholars, visionaries like Nizam al-Mulk responded by building institutions—the Nizamiyya schools—that would educate the generation of scholars who would guide leaders like Nur al-Din and Salahuddin.

What does it mean when Allah “hits” you with a consequence? The Prophet ﷺ taught that when Allah wants good for a servant, He hastens the purification of their sins in this life. What does that mean for us today?

Marriage is weighed down by so many expectations. His rights, your rights, cultural norms, social pressure, mahr debates, Islamic rulings… how do you even begin the conversation without getting overwhelmed? In this episode, Dr. Tesneem Alkiek and host Qaanitah Hunter unpack the topic of marriage through examples from the Seerah, showing how Islam gives us breathing room to approach marriage with calm and clarity.

Dr. Omar Suleiman explores the second defining quality of Ibad ur-Rahman (Servants of the Most Merciful): those who embody forbearance (hilm) and composure when confronted by ignorance or provocation.

“When the ignorant address them, they only respond with peace.” — Qur’an 25:63

What does it mean to stay calm when you’re tested? How do we respond to rudeness, mockery, or anger without losing our dignity? Through stories of the Prophet ﷺ and the early believers, Dr. Omar Suleiman reveals that this verse is not about remaining silent in the face of oppression, but about rising above the foolish, refusing to be drawn into their heat, and maintaining moral strength when emotions run high.

What is the foundation of true unity? Is it shared heritage, culture, or even family ties? This lecture by Dr. Omar Suleiman highlights that genuine unity is rooted in piety and the collective striving for goodness.

Learn why the most effective way to help an oppressor is to stop their oppression—and how this principle becomes the basis for working together in truth. This isn't just a discussion about community; it's a profound challenge to redefine your understanding of unity and solidarity.

Ten episodes, three days, and numb legs. In this bonus session, Dr. Tesneem Alkiek and host Qaanitah Hunter spill the secrets of filming Real Talk and discuss everything from first impressions to high school awkwardnes to maintaining trust in the timing of Allah. True to title, the two get very real.

What does it mean to walk the earth lightly? In this opening lecture of the Ibad al-Rahman: Servants of the Most Merciful series, Dr. Omar Suleiman explores the very first quality that Allah attributes to His most beloved servants — humility.

“The servants of the Most Merciful are those who walk upon the earth humbly…” — Surah al-Furqan, 25:63

Dr. Omar explains how true faith begins not only in the heart, but appears in the way we move, speak, and carry ourselves. Through reflections on the Prophet ﷺ’s character, the struggles of the early believers in Makkah, and the contrast between arrogance and grace, this session invites you to embody a faith that walks gently — yet stands firm in dignity.

Join the journey of Ibad al-Rahman — a call to live as those recognized by Allah Himself.

Are you feeling bored, distracted, or emotionally flat in your worship?

Explore why believers sometimes feel disconnected or weary in their salah, duʿāʾ, and dhikr, and how to revive sincerity and spiritual energy. This khutbah also offers a deep and practical explanation of the profound hadith: “Allah does not tire until you tire,” clarifying its meaning and what it teaches us about consistency, balance, and Divine mercy.

Of all the ways of Muhāsabah (holding ourselves accountable) this is the most unique. How do we work on ourselves before our own bodies speak on the Day of Judgment. Our limbs, our eyes, our hearing, our tongues, and even our desires are recording every step, every glance, and every word.

When everyone said “me, me,” the Prophet ﷺ said “my ummah, my ummah.” He cried for his followers and made du‘a for people he never met — including you. The Prophet ﷺ taught us that when you pray for others, angels reply: “Ameen, and for you the same.”

So expand your du‘a. Pray for the ummah, for the oppressed, for those who’ll never know your name.

When you pray beyond yourself, Allah expands your heart.

Watch till the end to learn how the Prophet ﷺ’s example can transform your du’a.

When the test came, the Sahabah didn’t hesitate. Neither did the disciples of Isa (AS). Their devotion wasn’t just words, it was action, sacrifice, and faith. Are we even close to their level of devotion? While we can never be Sahabah, we can discover what it truly means to embody the spirit of those who showed utmost devotion.

In this Gaza Diaries episode, a Palestinian-Australian doctor who volunteered in Gaza recalls paramedics who had to make peace with death, a night when hundreds of injured and dying children filled the hospital wards to overflowing, and a moment that changed a colleague’s worldview as young patients awoke reciting Qur’an. Anchored by his mother’s words—“Death is in Allah’s hands”—Dr. Mohamed Mustafa reflects on intentions, resilience, and why elevating Palestinian voices is the path to re-humanization.

One day, everything we chase of wealth, power, or status, will lose its shine. The world will expose what we once thought was worth fighting over, and every argument, betrayal, and war will come down to one question: Was it really worth it?

This khutbah is a reflection on how greed and ego blinds us from doing the right thing. From broken homes to global injustice, the pattern is the same: we destroy what’s priceless for what’s temporary.

From the Rapture to the Antichrist, religious texts often outline visions of the future. The Qur’an, too, speaks of what’s to come. But Allah ﷻ emphasizes the past—on the stories, lessons, and warnings from history—so that we’re prepared for what lies ahead. Is the past more important than predicting outcomes of the future? Dr. Omar Suleiman answers these questions and more in this khutbah.

We've witnessed calls for a ceasefire before, only to be met with broken promises. While we hope the war is over, in moments like these, we’re reminded that true victory begins not with celebration, but with remembrance. Dhikr before shukr, this was the way of the Prophet ﷺ, who taught us to turn to remembrance after relief, anchoring our gratitude in worship rather than emotion.

The flotilla heading toward Gaza is more than a group of ships; it's a united act of resistance with a single goal in mind: end the blockade on Gaza. Ultimately, Allah (swt) decides when justice will come, but we must always keep in mind that change doesn’t come from a single act, it comes from many people moving together with purpose.

Not every believer is loud or visible, but many of the most beloved to Allah are the ones you barely notice. The Prophet ﷺ praised the quiet, modest Muslim whose duʿāʾ is accepted, whose service is sincere, and who lives humbly without seeking attention. #BecauseOfMarwan honors a leader who is the heart of the Dallas Muslim community and being unjustly held and persecuted.

What happens when your dreams don’t come true? You find contentment, because your dreams are not greater than Allah’s decree. Tune in to Dr. Omar Suleiman deliver a powerful message about manifesting your story while trusting in Allah’s plan.

There is more good in saving more than just yourself. The Prophet (Saw) taught frequently about the sincerity and superiority of those who go beyond worship, and build and benefit others.

Activist Mahmoud Khalil sits down with Dr. Omar Suleiman to share what kept him grounded through months in ICE detention for protesting the genocide in Gaza. From seeing “Allah” etched on a cell wall to hearing that strangers made du’a for him daily, Mahmoud reflects on faith, courage, and the power of a united ummah.

Charlie Kirk's murder is a reminder that not all deaths are the same. While the media amplifies some, others, like the tens of thousands in Gaza, are minimized or completely overlooked. This can shape how we respond emotionally to different deaths.

Dr. Omar Suleiman delves into the Islamic response to death, examining how the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ responded differently depending on people who died, from the hypocrites to the honored martyrs.

Mahmoud. Leqaa. Dr. Khan Suri. They imprisoned their bodies, but not their minds. True activism is rooted in fearlessness, as Dr. Omar Suleiman highlights in this powerful message on standing up to those complacent and complicit with oppression.

Islam values emotional well-being and encourages us to care for our mental health, but faith is not meant to be reduced to a tool for self-soothing alone. Allah says, “Do not grieve or despair,” yet He also reminds us that this life is a test, one that involves hardship as much as it does ease.

Are your goals too small? You might be selling yourself short without even realizing it. If your aspirations are too small, you risk falling into sin, settling for mediocrity, and never reaching the life (or akhirah) you’re truly capable of.

What does it mean to eat and enjoy food while our brothers and sisters are dying because they're being denied a basic human need? Dr. Omar Suleiman looks at the morality of eating while keeping Gaza's suffering close to heart.

Want to know what kind of Muslim you truly are? Pay attention to how people react around you. In this powerful message, Dr. Omar Suleiman reminds us that good character isn't just about personal piety. It's also about being someone others feel safe around. He contrasts this with the painful reality of Muslims who have let their brothers and sisters in Gaza down, not through direct harm, but through silence and inaction when they were most needed.

How can we hold onto the Qur’an, like the 12-year-old girl in Gaza, paralyzed and unable to move, who still lets the words of Allah guide her in her toughest moments? Dr. Omar Suleiman delivers a powerful message on anchoring our hearts to the Qur’an, even as hope begins to fade.

Witnessing starvation, dehumanization, and atrocity can erode your spirit – or worse, your faith in Allah’s promise to help the believers and hold the oppressors accountable. Shaykh Mohammad Elshinawy shares valuable insight on divine timing, including how to strengthen your faith in the help of Allah.

In a world filled with constant change, uncertainty, and global upheaval, pause and reflect on this question: What if we stopped just asking for safety… and started asking to be used by Allah for something greater? In this heartfelt lecture, Dr. Omar Suleiman explores how to see ourselves as vessels for Allah’s work amid the ongoing global shifts we face. Through inspiring examples of figures like Salman Al-Farsi and Abu Bakr As-Siddiq, learn how true safety and success come from spiritual devotion, not worldly gains. Now is the time to align our talents, circumstances, and heart with divine purpose and to seek Allah’s guidance and protection through challenging times—holding fast to faith and performing every deed sincerely for His pleasure.

Dr. Omar Suleiman explores how to love your blessings without being imprisoned by them, and how to practice detachment daily using dhikr, gaining perspective, and being disciplined with your dunya.

What if the Muslim representation we’ve been fighting for is actually working against us?

In this Focal Point episode, Imam Tom Facchine explores the rise of Muslim representation in media, politics, and pop culture, and why it might be more harmful than helpful. From tokenism to identity politics, we unpack how visibility without values can betray the very communities it claims to uplift.

Before we celebrate inclusion, we need to ask: At what cost?

In this powerful reflection, Dr. Omar Suleiman shares a moving conversation with a man who was wrongfully imprisoned as part of the Holy Land Foundation Five—men known for their humanitarian work for Palestinian children. Despite enduring extreme hardship, including solitary confinement, this brother's deep faith and commitment never wavered.

Explore how to stay true to our values, find purpose through our struggles, and stay spiritually grounded no matter the circumstances.

Who profits from making people fear Muslims? In this Focal Point episode, Imam Tom exposes the multi-million dollar network fueling Islamophobia—fake experts, front organizations, and political actors who weaponize misinformation for profit and power.

This isn’t ignorance, it’s strategy. Who funds the fear? Who benefits? And how do we counter it?

The Bosnian genocide is a testament to the resilience of Islam—and a reminder that Gaza will overcome too.

Listen to Dr. Omar Suleiman as he visits Bosnia and reflects on the stories of survivors and the atrocities of Srebrenica 30 years later, where bones are still being recovered, and speak on what lessons can be learned from witnessing yet another atrocity targeted toward Muslims.

A century after his birth — and 60 years after his assassination — El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz, or Malcolm X, continues to exert a powerful influence on efforts against racism and oppression from the United States to Africa.

After enduring the cruelty of overt and systemic racism at a young age, Malcolm made a lifelong commitment to uplifting himself and all African-Americans. Bold and uncompromising, but also a sincere seeker of truth, he embraced Islam, performed Hajj, and traveled widely. Malcolm found inspiration and solidarity in Africa’s decolonization movements, from Ghana to Algeria. And his little-known visit to Gaza and his sharp critique of Zionism were among these efforts, even while he continued to forcefully challenge anti-Black racism in America.

We highlight various points in Malcolm’s winding journey, relying primarily on his own ever-insightful words, and reflect on why he remains an inspiration today.

South Africa’s former Minister of International Relations, Dr. Naledi Pandor, became the face of the ICJ case accusing Israel of genocide. In this conversation with Dr. Omar Suleiman, she explains why South Africa took that stand, how faith shaped her response, and what international solidarity truly means.

From confronting false media narratives to receiving death threats, Dr. Pandor reflects on the personal and political cost of speaking out—while urging Muslims to reclaim their moral leadership and global influence. What does it mean to act with Iman when the world chooses silence?

He was told the Palestinian flag would ruin his career.

He carried it anyway — into the cage, into press conferences, and into history. UFC Champion Belal Muhammad sits with Dr. Omar Suleiman to talk about pain, prayer, and the real fight beyond the cage.

This is a story of rejection, resistance, victory, and divine timing.

Dr. Farhan Abdul Azeez just returned from Gaza—again. He went during Ramadan, prayed Eid with children in new clothes, and hours later saw their bodies in the morgue. He stood beside men who were martyred moments after smiling with him.

In this conversation with Dr. Omar Suleiman, he shares what he witnessed, what the world must know, and what it truly means to love the ummah—to walk through rubble, taste the sweetness of faith, and keep returning to serve, even if it might be the last time. Why do doctors beg to go back to this nightmare? Why do the people of Gaza still smile, pray, and celebrate Eid in tents beside destroyed masjids? And what does it say about us—that they feel abandoned not by their enemies, but by their brothers?

After nearly two years since the escalation of the genocide, half the Christian population of Gaza has been killed or forced to flee by the Israeli regime. But despite Palestine being home to Christianity’s holiest sites, the Palestinian Christians being the oldest Christian community anywhere in the world, and very prominent Christian voices like the late Pope Francis calling for an end to the genocide, many Christians in the West continue to support Israel.

Why? Why do Christian Zionists fail to practice the teaching of “love your neighbor” in this case? What is the shared history of Muslims and Christians in the Holy Land? And how must our communities work together for justice today?

In the latest episode of Gaza Diaries, Dr. Omar Suleiman discusses these questions with Palestinian pastor Rev. Munther Isaac of the Christmas Lutheran Church in Bethlehem, Palestine.

“I’d spend my entire sujud du’a time praying for Gaza, only to wake up and go to work in a company that was contributing to that suffering.” In this one-on-one interview, Dr. Omar Suleiman sits down with Ibtihal Aboussad to talk about her decision to call out Microsoft during its 50th anniversary celebration for its complicity in the genocide in Gaza through its AI program. She breaks down what led up to that moment, how she prepared spiritually, and what it meant to take that public stand.

What is it like to face death on a daily basis? What is the connection between this life and the realm of the Barzakh? How do we grieve the loss of loved ones and our Muslim brothers and sisters?

Join Sh. Omar Suleiman and Sh. Ahmad Hraichie, "The Muslim Undertaker," for a powerful and emotional reflection on the Barzakh, the Islamic burial process, and the experiences of undertaking and washing.

Sh. Ahmad Hraichie, a Funeral Service Director, shares his personal reflections and insights as they discuss grief, the inevitability of death, and the afterlife. This deep discussion offers valuable perspectives on coping with loss and understanding the journey to the afterlife.

Why would the Prophet ﷺ marry a child? That is the question many want answered, but before we begin to address it, we have to admit it is more than a mere question; rather, it is an accusation and judgment of character. Underneath the question lies the notion that we should be troubled by the age of ‘Aisha at marriage, that whatever her age was, it is concerning, and—worse than that—however great the Prophet ﷺ was, the age at which ‘Aisha was married to him is problematic.

The controversy over the age of ‘Aisha is, in fact, a quite recent phenomenon. It is quite simply an attempt to defame the Prophet ﷺ—as those of old attempted to do—by questioning his judgment and ethics in marrying ‘Aisha at as young as 9. But this attempt at defamation, like all others, falls flat.

Listen to the paper audio podcast, "Why Did Prophet Muhammad ﷺ Marry Aisha? Dismantling the Controversy of Aisha's Age," to explore more.

You can’t fix what you refuse to face.

Dr. Omar Suleiman and Sh. Yaser Birjas reflect on how Ibn Hazm (rh)’s brutal honesty with himself made him a better man—and why confronting your own flaws is the key to real transformation.

What if you fall asleep out of exhaustion on the Laylatul Qadr? Can you still gain the blessings of this night? And what steps can you take to avoid falling asleep?

Have you been saving your best for just one night?

Dr. Omar Suleiman unpacks the mindset the Sahabah warned against and reframes how we should approach the 27th night and Laylatul Qadr.

Why was the Prophet ﷺ made to forget the exact date of Laylatul Qadr? When is the benefit and the mercy of Allah for us in that?

Is your knowledge making you worse?

You can memorize verses, master texts, even preach to others—and still be far from Allah. So what kind of knowledge actually purifies the soul?

In this Midnight Majlis reflection, Dr. Omar Suleiman and Sh. Yaser Birjas explore Ibn Hazm’s advice about knowledge, ego, and the difference between true guidance and performative scholarship.

Your real strength isn’t in your body.

In this second night of Midnight Majlis, Dr. Omar Suleiman and Sh. Yaser Birjas reflect on chapter 3, “The Mind and Repose” — and how conquering your ego is the only path to real inner peace. Dive in as Ibn Hazm (rh) dismantles every false measure of pride we cling to — strength, speed, power, popularity — and redirects our gaze to the only virtue that matters: the intellect used in service of God.

FOMO keeps us chasing, comparing, and feeling like we’re always behind. But what are we actually afraid of missing?

In the first session of this year’s Midnight Majlis, Dr. Omar Suleiman and Sh. Yaser Birjas unpack Ibn Hazm’s reflections on anxiety, comparison, and why setting higher aspirations for your soul is the only way to escape the trap of constantly feeling left out.

Because the real question is: What if you’re missing out on something far greater?

When an odd night meets a Friday, is it Laylatul Qadr?

Some scholars say that when the best night aligns with the best day, it holds extra weight. But does that mean tonight is the night?

In this brief reminder, Dr. Omar Suleiman explores what happens when blessed times coincide, why scholars emphasize this alignment, and how we should approach it spiritually—because if tonight carries the weight they describe, it could be the Laylatul Qadr we’ve been seeking.

If you’re unsure whether you owe zakat or how to pay it correctly, this practical guide lays it all out.

Zakat is the third pillar of Islam and the twin of salah.

In this brief but essential crash course, Sh. Mohammad Elshinawy dives into the key technicalities: who must pay, how much, and what counts. He covers everything from the nisab threshold to the 2.5% rule (and when it’s 2.6%), as well as how to calculate your savings, investments, business assets, or retirement plans.

“The right of the poor is in your pocket right now.” — Sh. Mohammad Elshinawy

The brief pause in the bombing is over—again. In the holiest month. How do we process the continued onslaught and oppression against our ummah and the exhausting cycle of grief and helplessness? How do we find strength when oppression returns after hope?

“The Qur’an has no structure.” This is a common claim made by critics, but is it true? How does Surah Al-Baqarah, the longest surah in the Qur’an, actually reveal a perfect, interconnected design?

In this reflection, Sh. Mohammad Elshinawy walks through the structure of Surah Al-Baqarah, showing how every verse is connected. From the failure of Banu Isra’il to the test of the ummah of Muhammad ﷺ, every shift in the surah serves a purpose: to show what true submission looks like.

“Surah Al-Baqarah is the summary of Islam—submission to Allah, wholeheartedly and willingly.” — Sh. Mohammad Elshinawy

“The Qur’an is all tied together. And this is the secret behind every surah.” — Sh. Mohammad Elshinawy

Struggling to keep up with your Qur’an recitation goals this Ramadan?

Your greatest triumph isn’t how far you get in the Qur’an—it’s how far the Qur’an gets into you. Some rush through it, but the Qur’an only heals those who approach it with sincerity. Sh. Mohammad Elshinawy breaks down the three types of people with the Qur’an—and what truly counts in your recitation.

“Now I understand why Hell exists.” This thought has resonated deeply in response to the latest atrocities in Palestine. But does it imply that Muslims are cruel and desire the suffering of others? And why is there a window to Hell in Paradise where believers witness the punishment of tyrants? In this brief reminder, Dr. Omar Suleiman reflects on maintaining moral integrity while seeking justice—and what it means to find peace in knowing oppressors will face their consequences.

“It’s not like the believers like to see suffering. It’s the confirmation that the suffering of believers did not go unpunished.” — Dr. Omar Suleiman

“I know from Allah what you don’t know.” These were the words of Prophet Ya’qub (as) when everyone around him believed Yusuf (as) was gone forever. But how did he hold onto certainty when the world told him otherwise? And what does this teach us about faith in the Unseen—especially when the promise of justice in places like Palestine seems so far away?

In this reflection, Dr. Omar Suleiman explores the deep connection between Ya’qub and Yusuf (as), the unseen ways Allah reassures the hearts of the oppressed, and why true faith is believing in Allah’s promise—no matter how impossible it seems.

“We know from Allah what they don’t know. And we have more trust in the word of Allah than in anything we see in front of us.” — Dr. Omar Suleiman

You’re flying through the Qur’an this Ramadan, but it feels distant. Why don’t the words of God move your heart? Why does it reach some people so easily while you struggle to connect?

In this reflection, Sh. Mohammad Elshinawy explores the barriers blocking the Qur’an—distraction, heedlessness, and giving it only what’s left of our time. The Mighty Book is too proud to accept leftovers, and it will only attend to you if you give it your undivided attention.

“The Qur’an will never give you part of itself until you give it all of yourself.” — Sh. Mohammad Elshinawy

“It’s not about stopping at an ayah. It’s about you opening your heart wide for an ayah to stop you.” — Sh. Mohammad Elshinawy

Pursued and imprisoned for a crime another man confessed to, Imam Jamil Al-Amin, formerly known as H. Rap Brown, remains a giant in jail. Stripped of his freedom, he now battles cancer behind bars—and still stands as a force of justice that injustice could never silence. Dr. Omar Suleiman reflects on his enduring fight, his undeniable innocence, and his unshakeable trust in Allah.

From Palestine to Pennsylvania, injustice thrives when justice serves the powerful. But Islam teaches that no one is above justice—not even yourself. Imam Tom explains how Islamic justice exposes global hypocrisy and why the world needs it now.

Fasting and prayer are more connected than you realize. Dr. Omar Suleiman explores the deep bond between sawm and salah—and how they elevate your worship in Ramadan and beyond.

One Ramadan can transform your destiny. Sh. Mohammad Elshinawy reflects on the power of this sacred month and how it can redefine your future. Don’t miss this powerful reminder on making the most of Ramadan’s blessings.

Fasting and prayer existed long before Islam, but not all nations preserved it. Who changed their way, and who kept the original fast? Dr. Omar Suleiman takes us back in time to nations past, their ways of worship, and the one prophet whose legacy we carry: Ibrahim (as).

What happens when Allah speaks? The Qur’an is more than words—it’s a miracle that shakes the heavens, makes angels faint, and revives souls. Sh. Mohammad Elshinawy explains the power of Allah’s words and why no one can change the Qur’an—but the Qur’an can change you.

The Hadith of Jibreel (as) was a warning—a sign of divine justice. The tears of the Prophet ﷺ were a plea—a sign of mercy. Dr. Omar Suleiman explores the weight of both complaints—and what they mean for us today.

Salahuddin al-Ayyubi (rh) is one of the greatest heroes in Islamic history. How did he liberate Masjid al-Aqsa after nearly 90 years of the Crusaders’ occupation? Take a deeper dive into his story, including the early centuries of the Muslim rule in Palestine, the motivations of the Crusades, the mentorship of Nuruddin Zengi in Syria, Salahuddin's rise to power in Egypt, his personal piety, and his road to victory in Jerusalem.

How did we lose Jerusalem after Salahuddin’s victory? What will it take to liberate Masjid al-Aqsa today? What can we learn from the Crusades, the rise of Zionism, and the internal divisions that have plagued the ummah? Join Dr. Omar Suleiman on this story of resilience, betrayal, and a question that still haunts us: will we rise to reclaim what was lost?

Allah has promised this ummah victory — how could victory in Palestine not be a part of that? So when will Palestine be free? Dr. Omar Suleiman explains how the story of Bani Isra’il conveys an important warning to all people to never become like their tyrants. He emphasizes that Muslims always have and always will seize Jerusalem with justice, mercy, and honor. And he explains the signs of the Day of Judgment in relation to Palestine, including the return of Isa (as) and the final gathering of humanity.

Amidst his deepest hardships, Allah took the Prophet ﷺ close to Himself in the Mi’raj, and gave him and his ummah a special gift. Learn the full story of Isra and Mi’raj (Night Journey and Ascension), during which the Prophet ﷺ journeyed miraculously to Masjid al-Aqsa and then through the heavens, meeting some of the greatest prophets, seeing his ummah, having an intimate conversation with his Lord, and returning with the 5 daily prayers.

The Roman Emperor Heraclius is a significant figure in the life of the Prophet ﷺ and the history of the da‘wah in Palestine. The Prophet ﷺ wrote a letter to inviting him to Islam. He was convinced that Islam was the truth and that the Muslims would soon rule in Palestine. So why didn’t he become Muslim? And how did events proceed from there until the Muslim conquest of Palestine just a few years later, under the leadership of Omar ibn al-Khattab (ra)?

It was the night everything changed. Learn the full story of the miraculous and transformative Isra wa'l Mi‘raj (Night Journey and Ascension) of the Prophet ﷺ, and the events in Palestine's history that are closely connected to it.

The city of Damascus in Syria, and the Umayyad Mosque within it, are immensely significant in the history — and future — of the ummah. This is the city where Yahya (as) was buried, the Prophet ﷺ traded, Bilal (ra) and Abu Darda (ra) settled, in which Salah al-Din Ayyubi (rh) was raised, and where Isa (as) will return and pray. Dr. Omar Suleiman explains these and many other reasons why this is a place revered by the believers.

Masjid al-Aqsa: the first qiblah of this ummah, the second masjid ever built in this world. Why have the hearts of believers always yearned for it? What profound secrets and virtues does it hold? This lecture uncovers these hidden gems, inviting you to explore the unique significance of al-Aqsa.

What is al-Sham? Almost no other region has as many virtues mentioned by the Prophet ﷺ about it as this region, which comprises Palestine, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan. It is a land of Prophets, miracles, the defeat of oppressors, and the gathering on the Day of Judgment. It is the heartland of the believers, the barometer of this ummah, covered by the angels’ wings, illuminated by the Prophet ﷺ’s light. What does all of this mean for our relationship with al-Sham?

Masjid al-Qiblatayn in Madinah marks the site where the qiblah of the Muslims changed from Masjid al-Aqsa to Masjid al-Haram. Dr. Omar Suleiman explains when, why, and how this occurred, and what it meant for the Muslims who passed away before the qiblah changed.

There is no place with a history like Palestine. The stories of countless Prophets, peoples, tyrants, and empires have unfolded here. But what are the qualities that make a people truly worthy of the Promised Land?

Abdullah Oduro as they reflect on Juz 2 of the Qur'an, discussing Allah's knowledge and wisdom, what happens when you sell your soul for your desires, what it means to live a principled, ethical life, and how martyrdom in Islam is like charity on an entirely different level.

Dr. Omar Suleiman and Sh. Abdullah Oduro are back with a brand new season of Qur’an 30 for 30. This time, they’re stepping away from virtual meetings and setting the stage up for an interactive experience that the whole family can enjoy. Join them and a surprise guest every day this Ramadan as they extract new perspectives and gems from the Qur’an.

As this blessed month begins and we seek Allah's forgiveness, guidance, and acceptance, there is no better example to turn to than the story of Adam (AS). Adam was inspired with powerful words of forgiveness as he strove to return to Jannah, and to Allah.

Join Dr. Omar Suleiman, Sh. Abdullah Oduro, and Dr. Tahir Wyatt as they reflect on Juz 1 of the Qur'an, discussing how the Qur'an is a guidance for mankind, how to ask Allah for guidance, and how to soften your heart and repent for your sins.

Alhamdulillah while grieving a dead baby. Hasbunallah wa ni’mal wakeel in front of a demolished home. La ilaha illa Allah while outrunning air strikes.

For 75 years, Palestinians have shown the world what resilience and unshakeable faith looks like. Now it's time for us to learn from them. How do we build the same resilience so that we can keep advocating for justice in Palestine? Their voices do not cower in the face of tyrants. Why do ours?

An explanation of the verses in the Qur’an that speak of the various ways in which Allah foils the plans of the oppressors.

It didn’t start last week. From Isra wal Mi’raj, Umar ibn al-Khattab, and Salahuddin Ayyubi to the Balfour Declaration, the Zionist Movement, the Nakba, and the current siege of Gaza—Palestine’s history is well-documented.

Join three Palestinians—Morad Barghouthi, Dania Tbakhi, and Reem Sultan (whose family members were among those killed in the Gaza hospital bombing this week)—as they recount the true story of what is today an occupied land and a traumatized people on the brink of a g_enocide.

The best thing you can do for Palestine right now is to pray, and the best du'a you can make is one that is sincere and heartfelt.

But when you've exhausted your own words, turn to the Qur'an and Sunnah. Each is full of resonant du'as that believers have echoed for centuries in their own moments of crisis.

As Gaza continues to burn, keep these du’as frequent on your tongue, just as you keep the martyrs and the suffering women, men, and children of the Holy Land in your heart.

Thousands gathered at the national mall between White House and Capitol Hill for Jummah followed by a march. You are alive in this moment of Palestinian catastrophe. You are witnessing a genocide of Gaza. With that witnessing comes a great responsibility.

Advocacy is exhausting. It demands your energy, passion, and unrelenting focus. It requires you to forgo daily priorities and neglect yourself in pursuit of a greater good. And it’s worth it, because the Palestinian people deserve peace and justice.

But in the middle of these moments of crisis, it’s crucial to take care of yourself and maintain extra acts of ‘ibadah. In a dunya filled with suffering and injustice, it’s only in the remembrance of Allah that your heart will find rest.

Rage. Anger. Hurt. The horrific images, the appalling injustices, and the exposure to propaganda have taken us on an emotional roller coaster. There is a genocide happening before our very eyes, and yet the media is working in full force to uphold lies.

We’re waging a battle on multiple fronts: infuriated at the Zionist atrocities and misinformation campaign, enraged at the lack of support for our brothers and sisters, and furious at the feeling of being robbed of a voice. What do we do with this anger?

Join Dr. Osman Umarji and Imam Tom Facchine as they discuss how to understand our rage and how to express it in a way pleasing to Allah.

Israel just bombed a hospital into non-existence.

Doctors, nurses, infants, orphans, refugees—at least 800 innocents, gone from this world in an instant.

But not dead. They are in the Merciful Hands of Allah, receiving the rank and blessings of honored martyrs. They’ve been chosen to be among His shuhada’, and we’ve been chosen to speak out against the ongoing massacre of the Gazan people.

Now is the moment for each of us to stand up to an uncaring world and make them see the brutality and horror wrought by Israel’s agenda of genocide against the Palestinian people.

Palestine is being pulverized while the world watches. Images of our brothers and sisters, most of them children, are flooding our circles, and though we’re sharing them incessantly amidst censorship, pushback, and lies, it feels like shouting into a void. There is collective pain in our global ummah on many levels.

How do we deal with the trauma we are witnessing through our screens? How do we cope with feelings of powerlessness, despair, and anguish? How do we cope with the loss of loved ones due to genocide? How can we be courageous and continue to support and lend voice to the oppressed even when the whole world is against us? How can we speak truth to power within our means, especially in the face of threats to our livelihood?

Tune in with Dr. Omar Suleiman, Dr. Osman Umarji, and Sr. Najwa Awad as they lend voices of support in the midst of this ongoing horror.

Dehumanization. Brutalization. Victim-blaming. From the IOF to police brutality, our oppression is undoubtedly connected and undoubtedly devastating.

But the outpouring of protests around the world uplift us like nothing else can. In the hundreds of thousands, in cities across the globe, people have been calling on the world to recognize and rectify the tragedy unfolding in Gaza.

This collective courage moves mountains. Now is the moment to fulfill our duty as Muslims and stand for justice. Be bold and beneficial, helpful and thoughtful.

Because our ummah, united, will never be defeated.

As we witness the machinery of political and media institutions squarely against the Palestinians, and our own friends and colleagues consuming and parroting the most harmful of propaganda, how do we assure ourselves that we will indeed prevail against it all insha'Allah.

Dr. Omar Suleiman leads a moving du‘a for our brothers and sisters in Gaza and Palestine.

Those who came before us set a brilliant example in their practice of Tahajjud. Dr. Tamara shares a few of their stories in this episode and describes how sincerity, gratitude, and consistency in their nightly prayers can continue to inspire us.

How did our pious predecessors accomplish so much in their lifetimes and change the world while maintaining a deep connection with the Lord of the Universe?

When we look at what fuels their unwavering inner strength and resolve, we see that they were habitual risers for nightly worship. Whether we strive to be like them or are simply looking for strength to make it through another day, tahajjud is prescribed as the best sunnah prayer to perform.

Journey with Dr. Tamara Gray to awaken your soul with this beautiful prayer, and learn how you can not only build your inner strength but also benefit society.

While we yearn and pray for the day Allah invites us to experience the last pillar (whether or not it is our first visit), we can find solace in a few gifts the Prophet (s) left us: messages that confirm that even when we are far from his land and the land of Ibrahim (a), we can still earn the reward of a fully accepted Hajj through the ordinary deeds that are in extraordinary standing with the Most High.

A major theme of the Prophet’s directions on how to perform Hajj was flexibility. He knew that, just as Allah never places a burden upon anyone beyond what they can handle, Hajj was also meant to be something every individual could handle. He reminded his Companions to be flexible and to remember that honoring each other was even more important than the holy pilgrimage itself.

On the most blessed day of all in the Sight of Allah, the Prophet (s) did two things: speak to the people and speak to Allah. And on that fateful day, as the Ummah was spread out across Arafah, he delivered his final sermon: the unparalleled, most comprehensive message to the world that marked the moment Islam was perfected and completed.

The journey of the Prophet ﷺ began with rejection, as he stood atop a hill in Makkah to declare a message that few accepted. But many years later came a moment of redemption, when a crowd of 144,000 believers joined him in his farewell Hajj. The example he set in his final pilgrimage is one we still follow today.

After the Battle of Hunayn in the 8th year after Hijrah, the Prophet (s) performed his third Umrah. But it was the eventful 9th year that saw both the abolishment of the rituals from the days of ignorance and the first ameer of Hajj in Islam who set the stage for the Prophet’s (s) farewell pilgrimage to come in the next year.

The opening of Makkah was a momentous event, but it was immediately followed by challenges. After the Battle of Hunayn, whisperings of discontent arose among the Ansar. But in a speech that left everyone present in tears, the Prophet ﷺ reassured the hearts of the people of Madinah, affirmed his abiding love for them, and chose them even over his own homeland.

After the Treaty of Hudaybiyah was broken by the Quraysh, the Prophet ﷺ and the Muslims embarked on the long-awaited journey back to their homeland of Makkah. In a day of reconciliation and mercy that was an example of the faith they were persecuted over, he ﷺ liberated the Ka’bah from idolatry and solidified the triumph of truth.

Sometimes a sign can lead to good things that we didn’t expect. For the Prophet ﷺ, the truth of a dream of performing Umrah was assured, but it was not to be fulfilled immediately. Instead, it re-directed to a lasting good: the Treaty of Hudaybiyah.
What did the eventual journey to Umrah and the first homecoming back to Makkah look like for the Messenger ﷺ and his Companions?

Forced out of the only home they knew, the Prophet ﷺ and the Companions missed Makkah dearly. They reminisced through tearful poetry and heartbreaking conversations, until the Prophet ﷺ made a du’a that not only gave them solace, but made the city of Madinah twice as beloved to believers for generations to come.

Before Islam, the Quraysh knew the Ka’bah was special, but they misused the holy site in pursuit of idolatry. As a result, the Prophet ﷺ avoided the Ka’bah in his early years, wishing to stay away from shirk and obscenity. But that would change once he received revelation. As he learned about what the Ka’bah truly stood for—a symbol of monotheism in a lost world—he began to spend more time there to establish the rituals of Hajj.

Over Ramadan, we peered into the life of the Prophet ﷺ. We saw him in gatherings, met him around town, and heard his khutbahs. But we haven’t yet explored one of the seminal moments of his life—and the experience that every Muslim strives for, too: the Hajj. What did the first official pilgrimage look like? What was the story surrounding it?

This Dhul Hijjah, we’ll step deeper into the life of Muhammad ﷺ and learn his Hajj story. From the long and arduous journey to his homecoming into Makkah, join Dr. Omar Suleiman as he tells the story of the most inspirational pilgrimage of all.

The final and most oft-recited section of the blessed Qur'an is full of lessons that were taken to heart by the Prophet ﷺ and that apply more than ever to all of us. As we finish out Ramadan, the many short surahs in juz 30 remind us to absorb the deepest lessons of revelation and to internalize the reality that Allah's presence and promise are true and will always be with us. Sh. Yasir Fahmy joins Sh. Abdullah Oduro and Dr. Omar Suleiman for one last session of Qur'anic reflection.

The way you were raised is probably not going to be the way you raise your children. Cultural expectations and norms shift, and it is vital to be adaptable as a parent. This adaptability extends to your children’s different personalities. We must recognize that each of our children is different, and adjust our parenting style to their needs. Sh. Ibrahim Hindy discusses the 9th key of Prophetic Parenting: adaptability.

Whether done intentionally or not, most parents actually display favoritism between their children. This issue can cause a fracture in the family dynamic.

Allah is the source of all mercy upon us, and He decreed that the first touch of mercy we feel is from our parents.

Being undutiful towards our parents is one of the greatest sins in our religion. We want our children to go to heaven and know that their path is through their obedience to us. That’s why it is important that we assist our children and help them respect us. Sh. Ibrahim Hindy shares 3 steps we can take to achieve that.

What is the problem with only focusing on “functional Islamic education” with your children? It is important that we have discussions with our children about their faith that is deeper than just the actions of prayer or fasting. We should equip our children with answers that will help them overcome doubt as they get older. Join Sh. Ibrahim Hindy as he focuses on the final key of Prophetic Parenting: faith and how to teach it to our children.

Our companions have an influence on our lives. The same holds true for the friendships our children may have. We may not be able to control the acquaintances our children are surrounded by, but what can we do to ensure that they are not negatively impacted by their peers?
Explore the five tips that Sh. Ibrahim Hindy shares to will help your child overcome peer pressure and choose friends that elevate them in this life and the next.

Du’a is critical when it comes to raising our kids. It reminds us that parenting is hard and that we must rely on the All-Mighty throughout this journey. With the multitude of du’a for children in the Qur’an, it appears that Allah is emphasizing the importance of doing so.

Join Sh. Ibrahim Hindy in the third episode of Keys to Prophetic Parenting and learn about the role du’a plays in your parenting style, as well as the variety of different du’as you should be making for your children.

It is not enough for our love towards our children to be apparent to us; it is also important for them to know how much we care for them. Sh. Ibrahim Hindy reminds us that we must create an environment for our children where they never doubt our affection.

Learn more about the Prophet’s approach to compassionate parenting and the context of his famous hadith “whoever does not show compassion, will not be shown compassion.” Explore the second key to Prophetic Parenting with practical advice on how to express mercy, even when disciplining your child.

Our children are gifts from Allah. How we raise them has an impact on our life in this world, our life in the hereafter, and the entire Ummah. In fact, the story of Musa (as) teaches us that the first step to transform the entire nation was telling a mother to raise her child.

In this first episode of our newest series, Keys to Prophetic Parenting, Sh. Ibrahim Hindy shares the meaning of “coolness of your eyes” in relation to children and how we can, insha’Allah achieve that, with the right parenting tools.

Whereas learning about the history of mental health in the Islamic world is important, it is equally important to understand how this can serve our community today. As international efforts attempt to encroach on Islamic achievements, it is vital that Muslims recognize the steps that need to be taken towards continuing and reviving that legacy. Dr. Rania Awaad describes what efforts need to be done to address mental health needs in Islamic society.

This series was brought to you in collaboration with the Stanford Muslim Mental Health Lab.

In the previous episode of this series, we discussed the way Muslim scholars examined mental health illnesses. In this video, Dr. Raniaa Awaad delves into the treatment options these scholars employed. This helps us understand that mental health conditions are multifactorial and we must analyze and examine all contributing factors.

This series was brought to you in collaboration with the Stanford Muslim Mental Health Lab.

Has anyone ever uttered these words to you, “A Muslim is not afflicted with depression?” If so, you are not alone. However, this phrase actually contradicts the teachings of our beloved Prophet ﷺ. It’s important to truly understand the factors that influence mental health illnesses in order to begin healing. In this episode, Dr. Rania Awaad discusses how early Muslim scholars understood the complexities of such illnesses.

This series was brought to you in collaboration with the Stanford Muslim Mental Health Lab.

The earliest presence of mental health hospitals can actually be traced back to 7th or 8th century Baghdad! Now, when people think about mental health institutions from the past, they often think of prison-like cells and abominable treatment. That was not the case in these early Muslim institutions. Join Dr. Rania Awaad as she describes the first homes of healing found throughout the Muslim world.

This series was brought to you in collaboration with the Stanford Muslim Mental Health Lab.

What is the secret that allowed Muslims to flourish into the Golden Ages as Europe sank into the Dark Ages? While people throughout the West were thought to be possessed by demons when dealing with depression, Muslims turned to Islamic teachings. Dr. Rania Awaad elaborates on the different scholars who initiated treatments that are now known as “therapy”!
