Now this is what interfaith dialogue should look like. Listening respectfully and trying to learn each others ideas.
I totally agree

I met Imam Omar in New Orleans in 2009. He is very intelligent, friendly, good mannered, humane, forthright, gentle, understanding, amiable, humble, a consummate scholar, a cautious optimist, a believer and fearless vanguard of Islam and the oppressed. May Allah continue to uplift you in knowledge, ameen.

Ameen, MassAllah
Aameen
May Allah (s.w.t.) bless him and the Ummah of the Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.)! Allahumma ameen...
Wish I could meet him oneday and listen to his qhutbah, Insha Allah…
My god, I enjoyed this so much. whoever said Netflix and chill was better?! This was such a beautiful and respectful conversation. The questions Dr. George asked were really obvious that he was keen to know Islam better on a deeper level. He gave Omar a chance to give some clarity. I loved the historical insights Omar brought to the table. This is was phenomenal. God bless and please bring more!!!
Yes I couldn't agree more! I used to binge-watching watch Netflix before I discovered this channel. But now I enjoy this channel better than Netflix
REPENT and be BORN AGAIN, believing on messiah Lord Jesus Christ, who is God. Don’t be deceived by Islam all the way into the lake of fire where it’s too late, If you just TRULY try to find and seek him he will show you the truth. John 3:3 unless a man be born again he cannot see the kingdom of God / Luke 13:3 unless you repent, you will all likewise perish⚠️❤️⚠️❤️
@@bisratamare3265 my guy Jesus is a prophet. Get your thoughts and logic straight. Jesus is not son of god or god. God NEVER NEEDED ANY HELP for him to create a son?? He created the entire universe and you are telling me he needed to create a human to be his son? God didn’t need to create a son to die for our sins, other wise he would’ve created all of us with no sins.. but let’s say he wanted to create us with sins still and all that none sense y’all talk about, but let’s say god did want to create us with sins and have Jesus die for them. WHERE IS JESUS NOW TO DIE FOR OUR SINS?????? damn he must have loved the people before you that he died for them and not you?? I read the Quran and the Bible and when I read the Quran it warms my heart up and I know it’s god words. When I read the Bible; we do share a lot of the same values but Jesus story make no sense at all!! Bible came down in an Islamic book, until people started changing it and making 7 versions as far as I remember it’s 7 huh? Come on man, use logic, not what your parents, friends or church told you. Use your heart, find deep meaning, read the Quran (cause I’m sure you never touched it). I’m not here to convert u or even try, I just be stating facts. Bible you can see easily the words been changed while Quran are amazing warming words that could never be copied by any human kind or make anything that sound or look like it. Even allah (god in Arabic) challenged all human kind to make one verse that is similar, shortest verse which is 7 words, yet till this day no one has came up with anything or even close to it. God allah is the only god and Jesus peace be upon him is a prophet and a messenger to god like all the other prophets.

🐟 07. GOD (OR NOT):
There has never been, nor will there ever be, even the SLIGHTEST shred of evidence for the existence of the Godhead, that is, a Supreme Person or Deity. The English word “person” literally means “for sound”, originating from the Latin/Greek “persona/prósōpa”, referring to the masks worn by actors in ancient European theatrical plays, which featured a mouth hole to enable the actors to speak through. Theists, by definition, believe that there is a Supreme Deity which incorporates anthropomorphic characteristics such as corporeal form (even if that form is a “spiritual” body, whatever that may connote), with a face (hence the term “person”), and certain personality traits such as unique preferences and aversions. Simple logic dictates that the Ultimate Reality transcends all concepts, including personality and even impersonality. However, only an excruciatingly minute number of humans have ever grasped this complete realization and understanding.
There are at least FOUR reasons why many persons are convinced of the existence of a Supreme Personal God:
1. Because it is natural for any sensible person to believe that humans may not be the pinnacle of existence, and that there must be a higher/ultimate power in existence (an intelligent designer). However, because they cannot conceive of this designer being non-personal, they automatically suspect it must be a man (God) or a woman (The Goddess) with personal attributes. One who is truly awakened and/or enlightened understands that the Universal Self is the creator of all experiences and that he IS that (“tat tvam asi”, in Sanskrit).
2. Because they have experienced some kind of mystical phenomenon or miracle, which they mistakenly attribute to “God's grace”, but which can be more logically explicated by another means. As explained, all such phenomena are produced by the TRUE Self of all selves (“Paramātman”, in Sanskrit). I, the author of this Holy Scripture, have personally experienced very powerful, miraculous, mystical phenomena, which I formerly ascribed to the personal conception of God (since I was a Theist), but now know to be caused, ultimately, by the Real Self.
3. Because they may have witnessed the deeds or read the words of an individual who seems to be a perfect person - in other words an incarnation of the Divine Principle (“Avatāra”, in Sanskrit). To be sure, such persons do exist, but that does not necessarily prove that the Supreme Truth is PERSONAL. An Avatar is a man who was born fully enlightened, with all noble qualities, but not necessarily perfect in every possible way. For example, very few (if any) of the recognized Avatars in human history taught or practiced veganism.
4. Because they have been CONDITIONED by their family, society and/or religious organization over many years or decades. Unfortunately, we humans are very gullible. Due to low intelligence and lack of critical analysis, the typical person believes almost anything they read or hear from virtually any source. During a visit to one's local place of worship on any given weekend, one will notice a congregation of sheepish individuals nodding in agreement with practically every nonsensical, inane word spouted by their deluded so-called “priest”, imam, mullah, rabbi, guru, monk, or preacher. Even the current World Teacher, despite his genius intellect, was once a thoroughly-indoctrinated religious fundamentalist, before he awoke to a definitive understanding of life.
Having stated the above, the worship of the Personal Deity (“bhakti yoga”, in Sanskrit), is a legitimate spiritual path for the masses. However, the most ACCURATE understanding is monistic or non-dual (“advaita”, in Sanskrit). If one wishes to be even more pedantic, the ultimate understanding is beyond even the concept of nonduality, as the great South Indian sage, Śri Ramana Maharishi, once so rightly proclaimed.
As an aside, it seems that practically every religious organization, particularly those originating in Bhārata (India), claims to have been founded by an Avatar, but that’s simply wishful thinking on the part of their congregations. Only a great sage or world teacher can POSSIBLY recognize an enlightened being, what to speak of an Incarnation of the Divine. The typical spiritual aspirant, even one who may seem to be a highly-exalted practitioner, has very little idea of what constitutes actual holiness. Frankly speaking, many famous (infamous?) religious leaders were some of the most vile and contemptible characters in human history, particularly in this Epoch of Darkness (“Kali Yuga”, in Sanskrit).
“God is greater than God.”

“Where there is Isness, there God is. Creation is the giving of isness from God. That is why God becomes where any creature expresses God.”

“Theologians may quarrel, but the mystics of the world speak the same language.”

“There is something in the soul that is so akin to God that it is one with Him... It has nothing in common with anything created.”
*************
“The knower and the known are one. Simple people imagine that they should see God as if he stood there and they here. This is not so. God and I, we are one in knowledge.”

“The eye through which I see God is the same eye through which God sees me; my eye and God's eye are one eye, one seeing, one knowing, one love.”
Eckhart von Hochheim O.P. (AKA Meister Eckhart) ,
German Roman Catholic Priest.
“God is merely one of man's concepts, a symbol used for pointing the way, to the Ultimate Reality, which has been mistaken for the Reality itself.
The map has been mistaken for the actual territory.”
*************
“Worshipers may derive some sort of satisfaction or peace of mind, through worship of a concept such as God (created by themselves), but it is a futile process, from the viewpoint of experiencing one's true nature.”

When you’re trying to impress your teacher but waffle in your essay and can’t make a make point.
He has Noor(light) in his face cause he memorized the Quran😊
Exactly the comment I was looking for. Ma shaa Allah
It is not just because he memorized it but also because he followes it also , some people memorize the quran and have so much islamic knowledge but lack ahlak /good manners and do not really live by what the learned from the quran
Uhmm nope! So many did same buh they gat no noor
I don't Think the Person who Memorized the Quran can have Noor but the Person who understands it,follow it his face may not shine but his heart will shining so bright that it could be seen to others through his manner✨
Assalamaalaikum
I love “muster up the courage and ask a Muslim.” This is so true. Ask a true follower. They are beautiful humans.
Reverend George seems like a true gentleman. Omar Sulaiman is a very articulate person.
Seriously I'm considering moving to Texas. Ma shaa'Allah so much goodness happening there. Big love from your sisters in Canada ❤
How are u Yasmine?
Alhamdulillah,
migration to better place to practice your religion is legitimate.
Texas is extremely republican and very conservative, don't be fooled, this is just one man. Its also a dangerous place, everyone carries guns, just a couple of days ago there was a church shooting.
Come to the Bible Belt and you will become a Christian, Inshallah.
Yes go to Texas & you'll be very safe walking anywhere In your hijab.
I cant help but smile, its so cool that a muslim and a Christian get along so well.
in the Quran God, says we made you different so you may find each other and learn to get along.
I'd even argue that most if not all practicing christians and muslims get along

As always brother Omar is amazing with his conversersation
Omar is crafty like a snake to deceive gullible and ignorant Christians like the minister in this video.
@Mathius S And your getting this information from where?
Mathius S May Allah guide you
Mathius S allah means god. One god. Do your research bro 😅
Yeah it's a beautiful sight isn't it. Man always speaks with a smile on his face.
I wish (for myself first) more people woul be able to have such beautiful conversations towards harmony and understanding.
This is nice. Different but still respectful peaceful genuine. What a time we are in where a simple convo between two people of different faiths is so encouraging to see
Sooo great, mashaAllah.
Thank you very much from Germany.
Reverend George , I’m a Muslim and I must say , you have my respect . I wish all Christians have your temperament and attitude
You must see muslim other nation and you will know the reality , with so being polite n nice tempered 😁 even The young kid parade with swearing " kill ahok" kill ahok"
I learned 87 chapters of the holy Quran by heart and the top one is Sura Al an’am it has about 24 pages there’s punch of verses. I understand most of the Quran Arabic but not the Arabic now.🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴
Alhamdulillah.
Somali artists well how much do u know about Somalia and its history ?
Hopefully more than the fictional scriptures. Maybe you can bring peace, integrity , morality and nobility to Somalia.
Or you can just completely ignore the land of your ancestors and make your hajj to land that has been robbing people of their identity and their history
mohamed abdullah The identity of being a child of the Nile River . The expectations and rewards of restoring the laws of nature are far greater than this demonic god of Abraham.
Somali, being a on the Nile River , has contributed historical discovery of discipline of knowledge and traveled to India , long before it was named that by its colonizers , similar to “Somalia”. Somalians also brought philosophies, study of the seasons to help cultivate agriculture, science and of course one of the greatest KING 👑 to exist , was surely a woman from Punt, Somalia. A woman.
These are peaceful people and they are our ancestors. that’s what needs to be restored.
The laws of nature .
Somali artists anyways take care of yourself . Peace, love, history and restoration from the Nile.
mohamed abdullah This Abrahamic god is the false god and cannot be proven also is the blame for many nations, non white, underdevelopment in education,economics and is to blame for ones lost identity.
Since the Abrahamic god came to the world , it has caused war , terror and famine on a global scale.
Many mothers had to bury their children.
mohamed abdullah the evidence is right before your eyes. Just open them. Travel the world and you will find that the Europeans are on top of society of almost every nation if not every not nation .
The Abrahamic god is a false god and the evidence is it’s self.
There are no evidence at all of these fictional characters
Dr. Suleiman is an outstanding scholar with the most wonderful demeanor.
I’m truly grateful for Omar Suleiman. He brings in so much clarity and knowledge without belittling.
Forget the dialogue. The eloquence of his speech is mind boggling 😍🤯
Thank you Sheikh Omar for all that you do, and for the gentle approach you take in educating people on Islam, which is something that is not so easy to find .
Dr Mason, you are so peaceful and at peace in your own skin. We need more Christians like you; God bless you
Well done Dr Omar Sulaiman from South Africa. CT
Texas is blessed to have dr Omar, Not every place is lucky to have such a humble and honest preacher of truth
This is one of the best introductions to Islam & Islamic history ...so eloquent and intellectually coherent. Congratulations is also in order to Dr Omar for having succesfully completed his Doctorate at the International Islamic University, Malaysia from your Malaysian follower.
Everything great and all but like no one talking about Omar’s skin, he has like tons of Nur on his face yall
Exactly
Lol thought i am the only one who focus first on his skin ( face)
I cannot not talk about his skin whenever I see him! I saw him in person for his talk and got close enough to take a picture with a bunch of people and lemme tell you.... IT'S FLAWLESS, GLOWING AND NO PORES! 🤣 Real light on his face.. makes you feel cool and calm.. Allah bless him so!
Same time I was staring at his skin and I read ur comment 😆
Say BaarakAllahu feek (May Allah bless him)
The evil eye is real
You do not want to be a source of harm to anyone unintentionally as well
I just love how brother Omar always talks with a smile. This is a amazing watch and I believe alot of this needs to happen. And maximum respect to George Mason for inviting brother Omar and having a wonderful conversation.
i just love the way Omar speaks. So humble.

I am not really religious but what does amazing is the strong devotion and dedication of muslims.
Aw, thank you my dear brother. It's not easy lol but 100% worth it.
I'm form Ethiopian alhemdulillah I'm Muslim
I'm somali i memories 2 times to the Quran alxamdullah
Do you not see that Allah is the One Who is praised by all those who are in the heavens and in the earth? The very birds praise Him as they wing their flight. Each one knows its prayers and how to praise Him, and Allah has full knowledge of all their actions.Surat (An-Nur 24:41) Alhamdulillah

•Allah= God
•Mohammed was merely a man
•Islam original founder was Abraham
•Pagan Moon god?? It’s an insult to worship anything but God.

ANSWER MAN
Could you do a reasonably few accusations at a time because I’m not gonna answer 100+ accusations at once.
@Jesus is not The son of GOD Rarely does anyone go on such a long diatribe and yet with so much repetition while saying so little. You said you want to ask me one question. And then said 2 times that you want me to answer that without any real indication of what it is that you want me to answer. Maybe you were speaking of why I would believe that God has a son. Well, that could have a son the same way you could be a child of God (instead of a slave of the demonic sins only the demonic (Satan) wishes human beings to dominate, humiliate, subjugate, slaughter, or live off other humans with a jizya extortion tax for allowing them the privilege of continuing to exist, but only as a disrespected 3rd class citizen. So my 1st point on that issue is "Just what exactly does it mean to be a son of God". Well, what being a son of God means in the case of Jesus being the "unique" son of God is that that aspect of the Trinity is one of the 3 ways in which God manifests himself. Unlike your silly sexualized Islamic idea of what being a son of God means, it implies in no way that God had to have a physical form and literally have sex with a female human being in order to have produced a son who seems to have all those human qualities.
In your lack of understanding about your own religion, do you realize that Mohammed made up his own religion taking different aspects from Christianity, Judaism and paganism ??? Do you realize how pissed he got when the people kicked him and his little band of less than 100 followers out of Mecca for he is continually annoying them with his "I'm a prophet"narrative ??? He then became an aggressive forceful egomaniacal megalomaniac robbing caravans & spreading his religion with the sword until he became the most important and influential man in Medina with his own personal army of 10,000 cutthroat conquering thugs. He was obviously very egotistical and thin-skinned or he would not have been having people killed who disagreed with him or ridiculed him. So that being the case, (which it is) is it any wonder that he had to demote Jesus in order to make himself more important. So that is my answer if you were asking me to answer about your opinion that God has no son. Your Allah has 3 daughters: Al-Uzza, Al-Lat and Manat. So is your ancient Arabian demon God can have 3 daughters or goddesses, why can't the Christian God have a son -- a son who is God ??? And yes, I said it. Your god is demonic and the same Arabian pagan moon god that he always was because the idea that Mohammed had some magical powers to transform him into the God of the Christians (,Abraham & the Jews) is Obvious Stupid Utter Nonsense.
ALL MUSLIMS MUST READ: >>>>>> ALLAH IS SATAN & here is Plenty of Proof beginning with this Question that you can't answer (And I will be happy to answer any question of yours, but you must be clear on what you want me to answer & you should answer mine or admit you don't have the answer) >>>>>>> "How did Mohammed acquire the Supernatural power, authority & ability to transform the old pagan moon God, Allah (just one of 360 gods being worshiped there at the Kabba) into the one and only Creator God and how are you so gullible as to believe that Mohammed forcing this idea on the people of Mecca and designating him to be so, makes it so ??????? You obviously are finding your self stumped by that one & on top of that, it destroys the whole basis for your (therefore obviously) made up religion. Since you have no answer to that, how about you replying with an admission that you have no answer and therefore may consider looking into the God of Christianity, who CANNOT LIE, unlike your self proclaimed "Greatest Of The Deceivers" & "Most Proud" demon god of Islam. (Both are biblical description of Satan, as well as the Koran calling Allah "The Lord Of This World" which is yet another biblical description of Satan) And with your Allah proclaiming himself to be the "Greatest Of The Deceivers", is it not common sense that when you're god Allah , according to the Koran, proclaims himself to be the greatest of the (Arabic word is "Mikr") deceivers, schemers, liars, shysters, con man, plotters, why would you Not presume that perhaps he has not deceived you as well? And does not your own Koran directs you to go to the people of the book when you need clarification on something ??? It's Well this "person of the book" is telling you that Allah is a made-up, rather demonic, deity from the mind of Mohammed and saying that we both worship the same God is an insult, and absurdity and an outright lie. The God of the Christians commands us to forgive, love and pray for our enemies (and to "turn the other cheek" to them) Our God provided the example in having Died For Us. Your God expects You To Die for him and delights the adherents of Islam killing other humans who disagree with you by failing to recognize your Allah said as the one Creator God. And for this you are to be rewarded with an eternal hard on and lots of regenerating virgins with which to fulfill your lustful appetites for all eternity. By the words of your own Koran, your demon God Allah gave Mohammed commands that you should dominate, subjugate, maim, slaughter and force convert or if you're feeling generous allow them to live among you as despised Kaffirs (3rd class citizens) as long as they keep paying you money for the privilege of continuing to exist. All because they think differently from you and not part of your group. If that ain't satanic, you will have to explain to me just what is and how I am wrong.
Thank you Rev. Dr. George and Imam Omar Suleiman, for this great conversation
As always Imam Omar answering question eloquently with smile. He is smart, intelligent n knowledgeable. I should say this is an amazing n wonderful interfaith conversation. You have also emphasized to Dr. George Mason that Qu'ran is the Word of The Almighty God n it was not written or created by a man.
Thank you to Rev. Dr. George Mason and Imam Sh. Omar Suleiman for this wonderful civilized respected talk about religions. If we have more people like you, the world will be a peaceful place to live in. When I watch your vedio, this verse in the wholly Qur'an came to mind: Surat Al-Hujurat 49:13 O mankind! We created you from a single ( pair) of a male and a female, And made you into Nations and tribes, that you may know each other ( not that you may despise ( Each other ). Verily The most honoured of you in the sight of Allah ( God) Is ( he who is) the most righteous of you. And Allah has full knowledge and is well acquainted ( With all things).
God bless you all.
How can you not love this guy... that soothing voice, makes me want to listen to him all day...
spread the love in your heart mister Suleiman
Mash’Allah, may Allah swt increase you in clarity and competence and guide your knowledge to those who most need it 🙏

May the Almighty Lord above the Heavens and the Earth the Owner of the Majestic Throne guide us and have mercy on us, Ameen.
Only Allah سبحان وتلا knows who's the best and may He forgive us for our short comings, Ameen.
We're all children of Adam (peace be upon him) and our enemy is the devil himself, who's main and only aim is to take as many of the children of Adam (peace be upon him) to hell with him.
We should love for our brother what we would love for ourselves.
If we truly appreciate the blessing the Almighty Lord above the Heavens and the Earth the Owner of the Majestic Throne has bestowed upon us, then shouldn't we in a loving manner convey our message to others just like we would like to receive it ourselves?
Didn't Allah سبحان وتلا tell us to treat the people of the book kindly, so are we to disobey His order? Please forgive me, if I am not knowledgeable in this matter.
This world is a testing place for each and every one of us. There isn't really any us and them in the end.
We come here as one, we'll depart as one, and we'll stand up to be judged in front of the Almighty Lord above the Heavens and the Earth the Owner of the Majestic Throne on the Day of Judgement as one.
The Almighty Lord, our Creator, already knows our capabilities, inner and outer. It's up to us, to discover what we are really made up off.
That's why man doesn't know himself until he is pushed to his limits, then his true nature comes out.
But that doesn't necessarily mean there's no hope, and/or there is no forgiveness.
It all depends on the condition of the person's heart and the connection they have towards their Creator.
Please forgive me if I had said anything wrong.

It was beautiful and heartwarming reading to your respond.
The prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) was very kind and patient when he was spreading Islam. No one has power over someone. Allah is The almighty. He sees everything and he is الحكيم. Our duty is To measure ourselves before we measure others and to do good deeds and also spread Islam in a good way. Being a good Muslim represents Islam. Speaking the truth With a soft Voice is itself a sadaqah.
Again, it was beautiful reading your respond.
May Allah protect us, amen

So peaceful and respectful talk. Different yet harmonise. AlHamdlilah you two are the good example for this chaotic era.
I absolutely loved this video and it really brings in to perspective how others from different faiths can sit and have a peaceful conversation which truthfully tells about the others beliefs.
Wishing you both prosperity and I know your intentions are to show people we can all get along and stop ignorant. Let’s read and really understand one another🙏
Very useful as the historical background is presented. The book referred to at the end by Imam Omar is Abrahamic Faiths by Jerald Dirks.
Always amazing and a pleasure to listen to Omar ....he always speak with a smile and makes discussion or lectures so understanding with detailed explanation....May almighty Allah grant him the ability to carry on what he dose best.... my DUAS are for him .🤲
This conversation was so respectful and amazing. I love it. A little respect and patience can take us a long way.
I actually really admire sheikh omar for being able to hold these conversations. Makes me realize there are people out there with so much knowledge of my religion and while I was born a muslim in a muslim country I've had very limited knowledge of my own faith due to numerous reasons. I wish i could hold a conversation like this someday too.

1. Yes, all prophets and messengers were muslims (person(s) who surrenders to God) was mentioned, but the importance was not stressed...its because its is the same message/religion from God.
You did not have to even be born in the era of Mohammad (pbuh) to be called a muslim by Allah.
Moses, Jesus (peace be upon them) all, were well before Mohammad's (pbuh) birth but were still called muslims!
2. And Islam is simply the completion of those previous messages. The last and final testament.
So what's the difference? Mohammad (pbuh) was sent as a mercy for All of Mankind.
And Allah Promised to Preserve the Quran (and Hadith/Sunnah) till the end of time.
Allah cannot command you to love and obey the messenger without preserving that too!
Quran was made easy to memorize.
He addresses all in Quran. People of the scriptures, idol worshipers, disbelievers, hypocrites etc etc.
Previous nations disobeyed the message, went astray and changed the message but this last scripture will remain in it's original form till the end and is applicable for all times and generations.
Why did Allah not make us the same with just one messenger?
He Himself Gives the answer in Quran 5 : 48
Chapter 5 Surah Maidah (The Table spread with food)
We are one religion. Each messenger mentioned the coming of the next and we must believe in all including the last.
If we hear of the last messenger ie Mohammad (pbuh) and do NOT believe Allah warns of a blazing fire prepared for such 48:13.
Sorry it's not what non muslims want to hear and it's scary. But if you want peace in this and the next life...read the Quran else risk hellfire. Everyone has till their last breath to believe so no one can say who will go to heaven and who to hell...we must all fear that and so its important to be soft and gentle as Omar Suleiman is. May Allah Bless his sweet heart. Ameen. But Allah Does Not Sugar Coat His Words.
May He Guide us all to piety and total surrender including this lovely pastor and Forgive all our transgressions and mistakes done knowingly and unknowingly. Ameen. May He
Grant us Sincerity to Him alone
Make our intentions pure and Help us to be the best example of Muslims Ameen.
Thank sister for your insight mashallah

@@hereweare9096 simple answer Allah created you to worship him not associate his name to others he created beside you so obey his laws and be one of the inherent of heavens or disobey him and be one of the losers of hellfire
@Jesus is not The son of GOD are you serious Islam is peace religion why are so aggressive our deen is nastex calm down brother you temper
solomon duncan You cannot blame Islam for that, you can blame the one that spread hate to that guy and brainwashed him with false information and unfortunately there are Muslims that don’t know well what Allah teaches. We as Muslims are taught to respect people as well as Christians and Jewish. Allah sais in the Quran 29:46 “And do not argue with the People of the Scripture except in a way that is best, except for those who commit injustice among them, and say, "We believe in that which has been revealed to us and revealed to you. And our God and your God is one; and we are Muslims [in submission] to Him."
If you really get to know Islam by scholars and people that studied it you’ll be amazed of what it teaches but most of the time people take things out of context misunderstanding the real meaning. Another factor is that Arab language used in the Quran is unique and many things are lost in translations, that’s why we say that the Quran in only in Arabic and the translations are not. I don’t say that it’s not useful because I cannot understand Arabic as well and I usually read the translation but when it comes to something I don’t understand I look for a Muslim scholar that explains it (different sources not only one) and I think this is the best way to understand without getting brainwashed by false information. I usually see and hear people talking about facts that are well explained by Muslims but they are still convinced of what they think it really is when it’s not
Very beautiful and eloquent answers from brother Omar.
Brilliant and Amazing Shiekh! May Allah bless you.
I love this!! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you brother for reminding me of the history about Islam and our beloved prophet Muhammad (PBUH) may Allah reward you for the beautiful message and whoever watched and got the teachings
GOOD GOD THIS WAS A GOOD SHOW
Mashaa Allah ! Allahuma Barik !
May Alllah SWT raise the standings of Islam and Muslims !
Thank you so much Pastor Mason for your open , kindness and willingness to seek faith and knowledge.
From the start I enjoyed listening to this conversation ....this is how it should be may God bless you for discussing in understanding and peace
It's something beautiful when 2 persons from different religions talk in such polite way 🌹
Its a nice change to see 2 men of different faiths having a civil discourse with respect and preserving honour for one another’s faith. Humanity is stronger that way. Alhamdullillah.
I wish this video was little longer it was great to listen to Omar. Thank you
This is a beautiful interview so nice to see two people speak about religion, faith, respectfully Omar Suleiman, George Mason .Selam
Alhamdulillah. All praise to Allah. May Allah shower His blessings to Imam Omar and families and all sons of prophet Adam a.s.🤲🤲🤲
Jaffar Slamat Ameen ! Yes !
Both are very calm and respectful. 💙
I love dr Omar's face. You can see the joy and humility at the same time. Happy humble and obedient. I love it
Prayers for the reverend. May Allah open your heart.
Tabaraka Allah, an amazing conversation. I’m from Sydney Australia and wish I could listen to Friday prayers from such a unique and very intelligent peaceful Muslim. The tone of voice that S. Omar blessed with is soothing, calming and enlightening. He is full of knowledge and beautifully spoken. Clearly, an intelligent man and a great example of a Muslim in today’s world. Insha’Allah many others learn from his peaceful approach.
@1805janine. That is knowledge, with the right knowledge every character you described will automatically fill in the gaps. There is ample of reasons why the first revelation starts with the word "READ". Imaging S.O. Suleiman writing books in his first grade, it means he has been studying throughout his life. We all need to dedicate our time to learn much about our religion if we really want to excel in yaumul akhira. MashaAllah, may Allah the custodian of the great throne broadened our knowledge and understanding and protect our eman till the last day.
I loved the mutual respect :)
Thanks to the tow of you guys wonderful job
I could listen Dr. Omar Suleiman speak all day. What a gifted man Mashallah. May Allah increase you in knowledge so we may continue to learn from you.
Respect and salute to all Muslims who memorised the Quraan at the age of 8 or below .what a great achievement. A child in Australia or Somalia or Nigeria or China reads the same Quraan and that's is attributed to the protection of ALLAH towards his book.
Beautiful. As a born Muslim, I am just starting to question/research and learn about the whole thing about Islam, as I was never taught any of that. Thank you
Allah guides those He loves. Peace be upon you.
I enjoyed watching this so much. Thank you.
clear questions and answers, explanation, to the point with limited time. Thanks to both of you.
Both sensible persons speaking to each other - job well done ✅!
Imam Omar suleiman is one of the islamic scholar of present time who is doing excellent job.His explatanion, knowledge and logic is praise worthy.
Excellent Dialogue ! Congratulations - Omar Suleiman. Very clear explanations. Every one should listen by heart to understand Islam. Almighty Allah give him reward and also 'hedayet' to interviewer.
May ALLAH increase you in Knowledge brother Omar
