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

  In the heart of Medina, a young boy named Ibn Sayyad began exhibiting behaviors that defied explanation.

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 ...

Mohammad Elshinawy to gain a new perspective on the Prophet (SAWS) and his relationship with Khadijah (RA).

• Are You Giving Allah Your Leftovers? | Khutbah by Dr. Omar Suleiman 10.04.2026 20min

  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 a...
• Easter & The Illusion of Victory | Khutbah by Dr. Omar Suleiman 03.04.2026 25min

  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...

• What Do You Make Your Angels Do? | Midnight Majlis 8 | Dr. Omar Suleiman and Sh. Yaser Birjas 19.03.2026 1j 17min

  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 “Th...
• Loving the People Who Remember Allah | Midnight Majlis 7 | Dr. Omar Suleiman and Sh. Yaser Birjas 16.03.2026 1j 19min

  “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.
• Leave Your Nafs Behind and Come to Allah | Midnight Majlis 6 | Dr. Omar Suleiman & Sh. Yaser Birjas 15.03.2026 1j 3min

  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...
• Pay Attention to the Masjid Al-Aqsa Shutdown! | Ramadan Pause & Reflect #11 | Dr. Omar Suleiman 14.03.2026 8min

  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.
• The Beauty of the Light of Allah | Midnight Majlis 5 | Dr. Omar Suleiman and Sh. Yaser Birjas 14.03.2026 1j 20min

  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...
