  • How To Raise Young Muslims in a Land Built Against Them | Khutbah by Sh. Mohammad Elshinawy 02.10.2026 21Min.
    Most people believe what the people around them believe, and Muslim children are no exception. A child who watches a parent jump up from the dinner table because a prayer is about to pass learns that Allah is real in that house. A child who watches prayer times come and go learns something too, and eventually concludes that their parents never really believed it either. Sh. Mohammad Elshinawy talks about how the need to belong is human nature, and that a Muslim community should put it...
  • Why Modern Life Makes Every Death Feel Sudden | Signs of the Hour Ep. 19 | Dr. Omar Suleiman 29.09.2026 14Min.
    Sudden death is a sign of the Hour, and nearly everyone says they would choose it: to go peacefully in their sleep. The pious predecessors wanted an illness first, with time to repent, make their will, and seek forgiveness. When Aisha (ra) asked the Prophet ﷺ about sudden death, his answer depended on who was dying. Find out what he said in the full episode. Dr. Omar Suleiman’s answer to a world where death arrives without warning is urgency without panic: hurry to good deeds, visit t...
  • Uthman ibn Talha (ra): The Key Guarded by One Clan for 1,400 Years | The Firsts | Dr. Omar Suleiman 28.09.2026 18Min.
    For over 1,400 years, one clan has guarded the most important key in history. And ironically, it reached them through a man who once rudely denied the Prophet ﷺ entry into the Ka’bah. But even as his own parents vehemently opposed the Prophet ﷺ, Uthman ibn Talha (ra) inched closer to Islam. His excellent character in escorting a Muslim woman (ra) to safety, and his joining two other great Companions as they finally headed to Medina to accept Islam, became turning points in his life.&nb...
  • The 4 Decrees Written For You In Your Mother’s Womb | Anchored Ep. 3 | Sh. Mohammad Elshinawy 26.09.2026 53Min.
    You were still in your mother’s womb when all of this was already written for you by an angel: your rizq (provision), your lifespan, your deeds, and whether you will be among the blessed or wretched. So does it matter what you do with your life? Can you still change your destiny? What kind of plot twists might still happen at the end of an apparently good or evil life? And how deep are the risks of getting involved in bid’ah (innovations) in the religion? “Anchored: 40 Hadith fo...
  • Why The Prophet ﷺ Told Hosts To Do LESS I LATEST Khutbah by Sh. Mohammad Elshinawy 25.09.2026 19Min.
    Hosting guests at home has become rare. Most of us have friends we’ve known for years and never had over. We meet at cafés and restaurants, keep up in the group chat, and save our homes for some day when the house is clean and there’s time to cook. That day rarely comes. Sh. Mohammad Elshinawy argues in this khutbah that the feast is part of the problem. When hosting means a week of cooking and a table nobody can finish, the guest feels the weight of it, the host dreads doing it again, and t...
  • Are You Tired Of Being Here? | Signs of the Hour Ep. 18 | Dr. Omar Suleiman 22.09.2026 22Min.
    NOTE: This lecture discusses Islamic teachings about the trials of the end times, including the prophecy that people will wish for death. It is a discussion of Islamic eschatology. Nothing in it is encouragement toward self-harm.

  • Abdullah ibn Sa’d (ra): Why He Embraced Islam Twice | The Firsts | Dr. Omar Suleiman 21.09.2026 18Min.
    Abdullah ibn Sa'd ibn Abi Sarh (ra) was honored with writing the revelation down as it came to the Prophet ﷺ. Then he left Islam. He returned to Mecca and claimed he could tamper with or forge the Qur’an himself. It was the worst lie one could tell, and Allah (awj) responded in Surah al-An’am, ayah 93. The punishment set for him was severe, even amidst the general amnesty in the conquest of Mecca. Dr. Omar Suleiman traces how a man whose apostasy was answered by revelation came ...
  • The Prophet ﷺ, An Angel, and An Orientation for the Ummah | Anchored Ep. 2 | Sh. Mohammad Elshinawy 19.09.2026 50Min.
    Manners are not the polish on top of a religion. In the framework Abdullah ibn Mubarak used, faith sits inside five concentric walls. Certainty at the centre, then sincerity, then the obligations, then the prophetic practices, and manners as the outermost wall of all. The order matters, because the outermost wall is the one that gets breached first. Lose your adab and the sunnah starts looking optional; lose the sunnah and the obligations start slipping; lose those and whatever ...
  • How Time Is Shrinking | Signs of the Hour Ep. 17 | Dr. Omar Suleiman 15.09.2026 15Min.
    A narration says that before the Hour a year will pass like a month, a month like a week, a week like a day, and an hour like a burning leaf. Ibn Hajar (rh) gave three reasons for it, and the first was that the barakah of time had been removed. Dr. Omar Suleiman on what disappears first when time stops being blessed. Find out what he says the first casualty actually is, and the one thing he guarantees will give time back. 0:00 - When time starts losing barakah 2:43 - A year like a mon...
  • Clear Intentions In A Chaotic World | Anchored Ep. 1 12.09.2026 41Min.
    Should you seek Islamic knowledge? Work for Big Tech? Get involved in politics? Make hijrah? Use AI? These are some of the complicated questions that shape the decisions Muslims have to make every day, as students, professionals, parents, community members, and even in their personal worship. And answering them starts with reflecting on the foundation of everything we do in life: intention (niyyah). After introducing us to the great scholar Imam an-Nawawi (rh), Sh. Mohamm...
  • 9/11 Anniversary: Who Taught You To Hate? 12.09.2026 25Min.
    Six months after 9/11, 25% of Americans said Islam encourages violence more than other religions. 25 years later, that number is 51%. The hostility did not fade with time. It grew. And it grew in a country where Muslims buried their own dead from that day, where Muslim first responders ran toward the towers, and where a generation has now spent its entire life answering for a crime committed by 19 strangers. On the 25th anniversary of September 11th, Sh. Omar Suleiman takes the question Ame...
  • How To Fix Your Life | Khutbah by Dr. Omar Suleiman 05.09.2026 26Min.
    What does it take to really fix a broken heart, relationship, and community? Are we making du’a to Allah to fix our lives, while neglecting the actions He wants us to take because they are uncomfortable? It’s easy to skip to the conclusion that your situation isn’t fixable. It’s more difficult, but honest, to remember that nothing fixes itself. Dr. Omar Suleiman explains the power Allah has given us to work to fix our problems, while always trusting Him with the best outc...
  • Abdullah ibn Abi Umayyah (ra): He Shouted Over the Prophet ﷺ | The Firsts | Dr. Omar Suleiman 01.09.2026 19Min.
    He mocked the Prophet ﷺ publicly for years, shouted him down at his dying uncle's bedside, and died a martyr fighting for him. Abdullah ibn Abi Umayyah (ra) believed long before he ever came forward, certain he was beyond forgiving. He was turned away once. Find out what his sister said that changed it. Watch a previous episode of The Firsts to learn more about Abu Sufyan ibn al-Harith (ra): https://yqn.io/52wq 00:00 - Why the redemption stories get harder from here 02:10 - Who Abdullah ibn...
  • Is Any Income Actually Halal Anymore? | Signs of the Hour Ep. 15 | Dr. Omar Suleiman 01.09.2026 22Min.
    The Prophet ﷺ said he did not fear poverty for this ummah. He feared wealth, and he feared what abundance without barakah does to a community. A man would be handed a hundred dinars and still not be satisfied. People would stop asking where their money came from. One companion walked away from wealth that was even 10% doubtful. Find out why. Dr. Omar Suleiman traces the hadith of the end times about wealth in Signs of the Hour Ep. 15: greed placed in the hearts, the collapse of the question ...
  • Struggling, In Debt, and Trusting Allah | Khutbah by Sh. Elshinawy 28.08.2026 18Min.
    Imam Ahmad (rh)’s best mornings, he said, were when they told him there was no flour left in the house. An empty shelf reminded him Who had been filling it every other day of his life. Most of us run that instinct in reverse. The bank balance drops and we quietly conclude that Allah is withholding out of displeasure. What must we remember about our rizq when it seems to stop flowing? How can Muslims reframe financial anxiety, job loss, and deepening debt as opportunities? And what doe...
  • Aging Parents, Growing Kids & "Inshallah Next Year" | Khutbah by Dr. Omar Suleiman 27.08.2026 19Min.
    You may still be alive tomorrow, but this version of your life won’t be. Your body will change. Your circumstances will change. Your children will grow older. Your parents may not always be here. The person waiting for your apology may eventually stop waiting. So what happens to all the good we keep telling ourselves we’ll do later? The call we keep meaning to make. The apology we keep putting off. The time we assume we’ll have with our parents and children. The charity we tell ourselves w...
  • Dajjal's Rebrand Has Already Started | Signs of the Hour Ep. 14 | Dr. Omar Suleiman 25.08.2026 25Min.
    Shaytan never told Adam and Hawwa (as) to disobey Allah. He told them the forbidden tree was something else: shajarat al-khuld, the tree of eternal life. A good tree. The command never changed. Only the name did. The Prophet ﷺ warned that this technique would come back at the end of time as one of the signs of the Hour, and it's stranger than it first sounds. It isn't about a generation that stops believing in halal and haram. It's about a generation that keeps both categories perfectly inta...
  • Why Your Attention is Worth More Than You Think & Who’s Buying It | Focal Point | Imam Tom Facchine 20.08.2026 28Min.
    Our attention has become one of the world's most valuable commodities—and we're paying for it in ways we rarely notice. In this Focal Point, Imam Tom Facchine explores how the attention economy grew from a simple business model into an industry built to capture our focus, shape our habits, and keep us distracted. More importantly, he asks what all of this means for Muslims trying to live with presence, purpose, and khushoo'. This episode looks beyond social media addiction to the deeper spi...
  • "My Dream is to Make Gaza Proud." | Gaza Diaries | Renad Attalah and Dr. Omar Suleiman 20.08.2026 19Min.
    Renad Attalah inspired hope with her cooking videos set in war-torn Gaza. Now, she has sought safety in the Netherlands while her mother remains behind. Join Dr. Omar Suleiman to hear from Renad and her mother, Um Firas, learn about what life is like in Gaza as the world moves on, and hear the stories of a mother and daughter separated by a needlessly cruel conflict.
  • A Beautiful Masjid With Empty Rows | Signs of the Hour Ep. 13 | Dr. Omar Suleiman 18.08.2026 29Min.
    A time will come, the Prophet ﷺ said, when people gather in the masjid and there isn't a single believer among them. Dr. Omar Suleiman unpacks that warning alongside several others: mosques built to compete rather than to function, mushafs that grow more beautiful while fewer people actually read them, and a Companion who wept after watching someone recite the Qur'an for payment. This episode of Signs of the Hour asks a harder question than whether our masjid is beautiful enough. It a...
