May Allah free Palestine and the Palestinians from oppression, save and protect our remaining brothers and sisters in Gaza, which our hearts bleed for, and unite the Ummah on strength and love between them. We need to return to our brotherhood and sisterhood, which Allah named us with, and recognize that Allah’s support only comes when we are together on truth, patience, compassion and mercy between us, not disunited. “…and do not quarrel with one another lest you should lose courage and your power depart. Be steadfast, surely Allah is with those who remain steadfast.” (Quran 8:46)
May Allah bless and reward all those who have been striving and doing whatever they can in support of our Palestinian brothers in Gaza and Palestine, ameen.

That is such a beautiful comment !!!! I agree
And that is how they please you, they have sweet tongues but are deviants
Allahu Akbar!!! ☝️❤️
This comment is gold. Thank you

I reverted to Islam, and the brother Omar Suleiman helped me a lot with his videos to understand better the religion
Welcome to the family brother.May Allah grant you happiness in both here and in Jennah.

The way he speaks of his mum. 😢😢😢 may Allah forgive her. May Allah reward her endlessly for her struggles in this world and for raising such a wonderful man. Alhamdullilah
Ameen. She was a great mother, and we can see the result with her son

May ALLAH have mercy on all our Mothers.
One of my worst pain is the loss of my Mother and she
was a wonderful Muslim.
Ameen ya rab
...and make us like her too.
I don’t know if it’s only me, but I always think Sheikh Omar has the character of our beloved prophet (saw) may Allah always protect him, grant him good health and Jannah inshallah! He has transformed me as a person and he’s one of my favorite sheikhs and scholar! Ya Rabbi bless him always 🙏🏾
Honestly I think the same thing. All the amazing sheikhs like sheikh Omar Suliman and sheikh belal assad all hold such good character that it makes me wonder if they are this amazing I wonder how Rasullullah's characters was.
@@marjann093Allah has indeed guided them because he’s the best of guidance 🙏🏾♥️ may we be among those that Allah guides
He reminds me of Malcom X
I personally met him face to face he is one of the most humble person I met in my life, I was in tears just look at his face.
Here is my opinion on this .... When I started listening to Sheikh Omar I was wondering about his character from whom he got all this humbleness but I listened him describing the character of Hazart Ali R.A I was like Yes ......
May we meet with Sheikh Omar and his mother in Jannah inshallah!

As a Muslim we shouldn’t hold someone hero or follow blindly other than our prophet Muhammad (Pbuh) . But these two subhanallah you just can’t stop listening to their eloquent speech. I’m sure they are human being and we all have short comings but certainly they have touched many believers and guided many back to believe. May Allah swt guide them and enable them to make more and more positive changes in our societies. Ameen

please write peace and blessings be upon him fully

We had a loss in audio at 37:29 for a couple of minutes and had to use AI to recover some of it, hence the 'robotic' sound. The message conveyed was too important to leave out. Apologies for this error.
No need to apologize sheikh Bilal. The whole interview was very inspiring, educational and beneficial. JZK for both of you. May Allah bless and protect you both. Ameen!!
MashAllah glad to see the West meets East! I can listen to Seikh Omar for lectures and Seikh Bilal for his Qur’aan recitation and lectures all day! May Allah bless both of you to guide the ummah! Happy to hear both of you together. 😊

SubhanAllah I was so engrossed in the essence of this conversation, I didn't even notice.
I listened to this part and never noticed the change 😂 must have been too engrossed like others.
Subhanallah look at the noor beaming from their blessed faces. May Allah bless and preserve our beloved shuyookh
I've noticed the noor in the faces of our mashayik very visibly increase now. May Allah give us all noor, He is An-Noor

My jaw and eyes hurts. I couldn't stop smiling the whole video. And my eyes couldn't stop pouring. SubhanAllah, the love of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, Sheikh Omar has bursts my heart with love and joy. I pray for the same love of our Prophet Muhammad ﷺ in our hearts. Ameen. I want to Him ﷺ as Allah ﷻ wants us to love Him. As He ﷺ deserves. There is nothing more than that ❤
When the Sheikh talks about his mother it gave me goosebumps!! May Allah grant her the highest of Jannah and continue to allow her children and family be a sadaqah jarriah!
I didn't even think this collab would happen but here we are. May Allah bless both of you sheikhs. ❤❤

Sheikh Dr. Omar Suleiman i love you for the sake of Allah The Exalted,May Allah grant your mum Aljannatul Firdaus
Anyone else wish to just be in the presence of these two? Subhanallah.
I’m in a low point in my life right now now as a Muslim, and I aspire to be like you two. I aspire to spend my life in the cause of Allah, being of benefit, living for more than myself and seeking redemption for my past mistakes, never to fall into them again. This Dunya is not worth it
Pls be strong, pray to Allah the almighty for strength and comfort.
Amin brother, may Allah bless you. ❤️
From someone who grew up with a sick father who passed away and was also righteous and full of tawakul it was beautiful to hear shaykh Omar speak so openly and vulnerably about his late mother and grief. May Allah bless them eternally Ameen
Ameen summa ameen
Mother was the one who was sick. His father is still alive to this day. May Allah grant him long life.
I clicked so fast ❤ mashallah my poor hert can't take it . This is perfection. May Allah bless these two wonderful Imams ❤️.
Only Allah is perfect
Subhanallah. When we hear about his parents, we can understand why he is a great human being.
My 7yr old cousin is obsessed with Palestine and he always jas questions about it..I remember him asking his father how he was related to Palestinians..he also once told his father that he's dropping out of school and fighting for Palestine 😭 I remembered him when the Sheikh said we're all Palestinians wallahi we all are even though we can't be them our hearts are all bleeding for them I pray that we all witness a free Palestine in our lifetime.. Ameen ❤🇵🇸
Mashallah may Allah bless your cousin
Allahu Akbar, these 1 on 1's are like a dream coming true. May Allah bless you all

You know I know this sounds flaky but only those who can feel people's energy would understand. Brother Omar's energy is something else. It is so calm and so positive. You want to bottle it up because I suffer from PTSD and anxiety. I get totally relaxed hearing him speak. Thank you for sharing your story with us brother Omar. 2 things I figured out from this discussion. One is an opinion and one is fact. When Brother Omar's mother (may Allah reward her with high place in heaven ameen), was told by Doc you're not having more kids. Maybe, Allah said Doc, you have no idea what's coming to the people that love me and worship me. Allah maybe said I am sending a person that despite the world turning on Palestinians, he will be the one that will be brave enough to stand up to the tyrants. Truly, only Allah has the wisdom we can't even fathom. Second thing is I couldn't understand why I was so heart broken in a way over Gaza victims. I mean yes, I am a Muslim female and I know what it's like to be attacked for being Muslim. I also suffered abuses at the hands of those close to me. I figured it was just my PTSD and anxiety. But I just realized why I suffer a lot and can't sleep and nearly have a heart attack seeing kids hurt. It's that feeling of being alone when you are suffering and no one is there to help you from human side. When I was a kid I suffered alone adults were not there for me. Most of my life I dealt with my hardships alone. Struggled with anxiety and all that alone. So, I think I just realized why I suffer so much. It's the feeling of no one understand your suffering but I know Allah does. I was never able to have children and now I understand the wisdom behind it I think anyways we can't really know can we. How I feel about seeing other's kids hurt and it makes me so so angry. If someone hurt my kids I psychologically and emotionally couldn't handle it. I would either burnt he world to the ground or end up in a mental hospital. Allah does only put you through what he knows you can handle. Alhamdolillah that despite the fact that we could have lost our way Allah guided us in our rough times. I may be broke and have medical issues n stuff but I feel so blessed for being Muslim. You are on the right path brother Omar, worse than what they are going through would be suffering it alone. ANd you do remember those who helped you in tough times. I was in hospital once and I never forgot the 2 ladies that visited me. I was only 13 but it meant so so much to me even though I wasn't very close to them. I can remember that day like it was yesterday. So if you can, please visit the sick they might not express it but it means more than you know.
Honestly I’ve been saying the same thing! Marsha Allah I just feel so calm listening to him. May Allah bless them both
May Almighty Allah grant you ease sister ❤ very well said
I just wanna hug you 🤗🤗 I hope you are doing well and continue to have strength to carry on each day with calmness and peace in your heart. Barakallah!💖💖
He's a light and perfect example a good Muslim. I believe he's been guided so many people during their dark times.
My dear sister, in as much as things of this world looks and feels great to have, Allah has given you the greatest gift of being His worshipper. Alhamdulillah for having a grateful heart as well. Kids are Allah's blessing but as you rightly pointed out, Allah knows best what is good for each of us, so we submit to His will and patiently look forward to His everlasting reward where we will forget about all our past pains. That hope is what keeps me going whenever I think about all my trials including not being blessed with kids yet. I pray for it, but I am pleased with Allah's will, knowing He only does what's best even if we don't fully understand it. May Allah grant you ease in your affairs and bless you in this dunya and akhira
The humility of these two human beings, humbles me. I feel so blessed to be Muslim and part of this beautiful Ummah.BarakAllah Sheikh Omar Suleiman and Sheikh Belal Assaad for being our exemplars in Islam
Only come across Imam Omar when this war broke out. What an awesome guy. 🤲💔👊🇮🇶
❤❤amazing scholars❤❤
Subhanallah tears to my eyes hear of meeting our beloved prophet Muhammad pbh. I took in medina on the night we arrived I cried out of control while everyone stood there not knowing what happened to me. That was the moment a new seed was planted in the core of my heart. The love for our beloved prophet. All around me is the same but my anxiety my emotions changed. My outlook changed in inner being was always a muslim and became even proud and honoured. Love you Allah Alhamdullah for each and every breath.
I wish this never ended😢 May Allah protect these two beloved brothers and free Palestine Amine.
Two of my favorite scholars in Islam. May Allah showers them with blessings with the rest of the Ummah. 💖💖
Ameen. And may Allah strengthen their friendship in goodness in this world and the akhirah. May All bless them both ❤

Love Brother Omar Suleiman and Brother Belal teaching Islam selâm ❤
I Just screamed when i saw this❤❤❤ May Allah bless you, you can't even imagine how many lives you've changed !
What a background! the kind of parents every Muslim wishes for! SubhanAllah
I will never forget how he said his mom used to write poems for Bosnians during the war. And look at us now how times have changed that we Bosnians have to cry and pray for Gaza. May Allah free all muslims around this world from evil and fitna 😢 and may Allah give us all jannatul firdaus ❤ inlcuding his mom
As a Muslim growing up in America… sheikh you are so inspiring to the youth! We are blessed to have such a person to look up to and learn our beautiful religion from.
One of his followers. He is so humble and he is Quran personified. Masha Allah. Can't wait for Ramadan to come. 39/30
Wallah Sheikh Omar is hand-picked by Allah with an amazing father and his mother (may Allah have mercy on her), and we are so lucky to have him. Thank you Sheikh Belal for doing this podcast.
My heart melted and melted, Subxanallah 😭May Allah be pleased with them both endlessly and grant us beautiful gatherings like this in this dunya and the hereafter, Allahuma Aaameen, and raise us with the prophets cs and martyrs and the righteous Aaameeen
This is our happy place. ❤ my favorites together. So grateful for these men and the knowledge they share. Consider us blessed 🤝
Alhamdulilah that we still have among us such a humble and yet so knowledgeable Imam's. Such a blessing for us, may Allah keep them in a good health 🤲. By the way I'm from Albania 🇦🇱❤️
Masha'Allah! Two of my favorite personalities are together. May Allah SWT bless both of you and accept all your hard work for the Muslim ummah. Aameen.
I respect these two men so much. It brings tears to my eyes😢 may ALLAH (SWT) protect you both
Wow his mum from the direct descendant from Jaffa ra mahsallah didn’t know that ❤
Sh. Dr. Omar Suleiman, May Allah SWT preserve your our beloved father and have mercy upon our beloved mother. Ameen Yaa Rabbi 🤲🏼
Alhamdulilahi 😢this is so nice it brings tears to my eyes. Thank you fir sharing. You are truly a gift to the Ummah. You have carried and brought forth what your parents instilled in you and that’s a blessing for all of us it also makes me sad at the same time because I didn’t grow up with such guidance in my life. It’s been a total struggle for me. No one is Muslim in my family and I’m still struggling in faith. Please make DUA for me and ask Allah to help me and strengthen me in Islam
May Allah make it easy on you!!! Amen
Lots of dua for you! May Allah strengthen you❤
Aameen
So I want to share my story
Last year I went to attend Omar Suleiman's lecture in London where I was praying that I can have a 1 to 1 session wid him but it wasn't possible then I told myself just say Alhumdulliah coz atleast I got the chance to hear him and I was crying when he was giving lecture coz I couldn't believe that he was standing in front of me. Thank you so much for teaching me
The fact that both of them are soft spoken, makes this interview a breathtaking
Alhamdulilah!!! Asalam Alaikum brothers and sisters. I too saw this video and immediately clicked on it. These two brothers are an inspiration to me and my knowledge of Deen. Dr. Omar Suleiman is a man who I look up to for his steadfastness, and his courage to stand up for what is right. Shaiykh Belal is a man I look up to for his humility and his serene energy. May Allah SWT guide and protect these brothers to continue on their paths towards strengthening our Ummah!!! Subhanallahi wa Bihamidi!!!!
Waalaikumasalam
Love these brothers MashAllah. When I see omar suleimans beautiful smile MashAllah makes me think of I love him so much for the sake of Allah and of course our other mushayikh, imagine how sahabas felt being around the prophet mohammed swt. These are trying to be like them and Allah has beautified them and their characters MashAllah. May Allah protect and preserve you all ameen.

Greetings from Trinidad and Tobago. Watching this insightful interview with these brilliant Muslim men left me feeling truly inspired and motivated. May Allah bless and protect them, guiding them on their path to continue enlightening and positively impacting millions. In a world filled with hate, their wisdom shines through, reminding us all to persevere with compassion and understanding. Thank you for being a beacon of inspiration!
Two of my most favorite individuals (along with others). Its an absolute treat to watch them together. Both exemplify resilience, peace, and calm. I can listen to them all the time.
ALHAMDULILLAH TO ALLAH THE MOST MERCIFUL THE MOST BENEFICENT.
Our brothers in Islam💚
May we all gather under the shade of the Throne of The Most Merciful and once more in His highest gardens of honour and nobility. You brothers keep this ummah alive and thriving with the will of The Ever Living Subhanahu wa ta’ala. Nothing but love and respect for you guys.
This is pure bliss. Thank you brother Belal and thank you brother Omar.
Litening to brother Omar talk about his mother hit diffefent as a mother struggling to live by the deen in the West. I feel as if your mother, even though she struggled so much in regards to health was rewarded with the greatest gift of all for her tawakkul and worship: righteous offspring. As you do all that you do brother Omar, I am sure you are actively making her hereafter even more beautiful.
I follow the 2 brother, I'm on France. How lucky we are to have these cheikhs. Inch'Allah I can see them on live rotba. ❤
MarshAllah 💚♥️💛
Yaa rabb, please keep him safe n preserve him for us
I can see this will be an amazing podcast series. Masha’Allah tabarakallah the way these brothers talk to each other with such grace and etiquette, is a beautiful way of dawah for any none Muslim watching.
I was smiling all the time between the interview. 😍❣️
