Are You A Helper of Allah? | Lecture by Dr. Omar Suleiman
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.

He Found His Wife in Gaza | Gaza Diaries | Dr. Omar Suleiman & Dr. Mohamed Mustafa
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.

Was It Really Worth It? Re-evaluating What We Fight Over | Khutbah by Dr Omar Suleiman
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.

Lessons To Take From the Past | Khutbah by Dr Omar Suleiman
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.

When the War Ends: For Gaza and For You | Khutbah by Dr Omar Suleiman
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.
