Join them and a surprise guest every day this Ramadan as they extract new perspectives and gems from the Qur’an.

The Resilience of A Muslim Oct 25, 2023

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?

Allah’s Plans Never Fail with Dr. Omar Suleiman Oct 25, 2023

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

Indigenous Palestinians Recount Their History Oct 23, 2023

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.

How to Make Du’a for Palestine with Dr. Omar Suleiman & Dr. Tahir Wyatt Oct 22, 2023

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.

Palestine Khutbah Outside the White House - Dr. Omar Suleiman Oct 22, 2023

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.

Qur’an for Gaza and the Soul, with Dr Tesneem Alkiek and Sh. Yousef Wahb Oct 20, 2023

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.

Palestinians Are Murdered Twice Oct 19, 2023

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.

The Living Martyrs in Gaza's Hospitals with Dr. Omar Suleiman Oct 17, 2023

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.

How To Become An Indomitable Ummah Oct 17, 2023

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.

When Your Neighbors Call for Genocide Oct 17, 2023

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.

When The World Stands Against You #Gaza | Khutbah by Dr. Omar Suleiman Oct 17, 2023

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.

Reflection and Du’a for Palestine with Dr. Omar Suleiman Oct 17, 2023

Ep 10 - 5 Deeds That Equal the Reward of Hajj | His Hajj Story Jul 19, 2021

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.

Ep. 9 - Amongst the People | His Hajj Story Jul 18, 2021

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.

Ep. 8 - The Day of Arafah | His Hajj Story Jul 17, 2021

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.

Ep. 7 - The Farewell Hajj | His Hajj Story Jul 16, 2021

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.

Ep. 6 - Under The Leadership Of Abu Bakr (ra) | His Hajj Story Jul 15, 2021

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.

Ep. 5 - Forever An Ansari | His Hajj Story Jul 14, 2021

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.

Ep. 4 - The Day Of The Conquest | His Hajj Story Jul 13, 2021

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.

Ep. 3 - A Dream Before Umrah | His Hajj Story Jul 12, 2021

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?

Ep. 2 - Falling In Love With Madinah | His Hajj Story Jul 11, 2021

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.

Ep. 1 - Growing up in Makkah | His Hajj Story Jul 10, 2021

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.

Trailer | His Hajj Story, A Dhul Hijjah Series Jul 09, 2021

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.

Ep 9 - Adaptability | Keys to Prophetic Parenting Mar 08, 2021

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.

Ibrahim Hindy explores the negative effects of unfairness between children and teaches us lessons from the prophets on achieving justice in our home.

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.

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.

Ep 1 - Vision | Keys to Prophetic Parenting Mar 01, 2021

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.
