1w ago00:27:14Tap to summarizeA time is coming when liars will be seen as trustworthy, and the honest will be branded as deceivers.

Transcribe →Do You Want What Allah Wants? | Khutbah by Dr. Omar Suleiman
2w ago00:22:48Tap to summarizeThe 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]
Transcribe →The Night the Qur’an Disappears | Signs of the Hour Ep. 10 | Dr. Omar Suleiman
3w ago00:28:47Tap to summarizeThe 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.
Transcribe →The Rise of the Unqualified | Signs of the Hour Ep. 9 | Dr. Omar Suleiman
Jun 3001:05:28Tap to summarizeThe 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.
Transcribe →Nature Responds To Your Rebellion Against Allah | Signs of the Hour Ep. 8 | Dr. Omar Suleiman
Jun 2301:01:48Tap to summarizeWe'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)
Transcribe →Only Allah Knows What You Went Through | Khutbah by Dr. Omar Suleiman
Jun 2000:25:05Tap to summarizeWhen 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.
Transcribe →5 Ways to Have A Good Ending | Khutbah by Dr. Omar Suleiman
Jun 1300:25:57Tap to summarizeIn 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.
