Gaza: Resilience & Hope with Dr Omar Suleiman
Вставка
- Опубліковано 31 тра 2024
- In the long durée of Islamic history, we often lose sight that every generation, even the best generation, that of the companions, had deep challenges to overcome. Our enemies have continuously worked to undermine our unity, and it is often the hard lessons of these challenges that help us overcome our petty disputes and territorial differences. This episode we focus on the notion of unity and its real implications. If we agree the lack of Muslim unity is holding us back - how do we overcome this challenge? And are we destined to slide into further decline? And is their hope in this crisis?
Dr Omar Suleiman is the founder and president of the Yaqeen institute.

do a podcast with Yasir Qadhi on Gaza.....long waited one....
Please interview Shahid Bolse
Allah bless you - Australia
@001Rumi a 1 hour interview with Dr yasir isn't enough, we need a whole week of an interview with this brother amd dr yasir masha allah.
These 2 men have given me a beautiful perspective on Islamic culture that I, a western Jewish woman, have never had access to before. Thank you so much 🙏✌🏼
May Allah Almighty guide you to Islam. Amen.
@@Islamis4allAmeen.
Thank you for your comment.
Alhamdullah glad to hear that sister
Thank you very much for your kind comments. It means so much to us to hear this.
From A Christian ( and we shouldn’t have to say that) Woman in Aust. 🎉All I can & do is to pray for Gaza - and to all Muslims for the wicket things that have happened to you - we are all brain washed - God help us.
Ameen sister, May God help the people of Palestine and the world. Yea we were all brainwashed..
Thank you for your 🤲🏽❤
God bless you sister❤
Thank you ❤
Turkey, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar I believe all have the leverage and capability to end the war on Gaza but their leaders are choosing not to use that leverage
Türkiye, Malaysia and Jordan are supporting the SA case before the ICJ. It is hoped that more Muslim countries will join the proceedings. 🙏🏾🇵🇸
To my understanding Qatar is largely a country of wealthy multinationals individuals and corporations.
They must fear the Lord of The Worlds Allah SWT , Pray for Quidance , and Rahma for the Ummah ❤ ameen
@@stompthedragon4010US has a massive airbase in Qatar. The lease has just been renewed.
If you're following closely Turkey has used its leverage but the rest that you've mentioned are in collusion if I may say
Out of All the interviews I seen thus far. I don’t know why?!
This was the Best one. Subhaan’Allah beauty and strength.
“Being hurt and broken is Sunnah too.”
Algamdoellilah a much needed perspective feelings of guilt and sadness. May we find ability to continue support Palestine Ameen
Thank you for remembering Syria ❤ may Allah grant victory to all the oppressed
As a human being, I believe it's a moral duty to support Palestine. And as others commented, here in the west we have been brainwashed... But many of us are realizing now. Thanks God.
An excellent episode. Omar Suleiman has so much wisdom and gems
💯 #🇵🇸
Brother omar is so humble. Softly spoken ,most of all very knowledgeable. May Allah subhanwataala give him more knowledge. Blessings ameen
This was so good, but then all are good. I learn so much. I am not Muslim, but I listen. Thank you for making this available to us.
Palestine will be free, and I will continue doing my part of the work towards this.
I am a follower of Dr,Sulliman 3:23 .His love for his people the Palestinians is not only because if his family..the love comes from his mother..an amazing friend of mine years ago and she would read to me the most heart 3:30 filled poems she wrote of her beloved country..like mother and son❤
I can't recommend this specific podcast enough. On so many levels, it's a reminder on how to deal with tests on an individual level, as well as a communal level. A must listen for all who feel the pain of Palestine and the Muslims suffering around the world.
The populations of so called Muslim countries should prioritize the liberation of Al Aksa in their selection of leadership. This is the approach that the Muslims of South Africa used to pressurize the Anc since we have elections in 2024.
Ameen to all his Duas 🥹
Salaam jazaakALLAH khair for bringing Dr Imam Omar always a pleasure to see and hear his words of wisdom. 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🌺🌺🌺
It was nice to listen to Omar Sulieman on this episode. I normally hear his kuthbahs. It’s nice to hear his conversational voice found in this podcast and not just his preacher tone
Questions are prefectly curated targeting the ummah at large. May Allah swt bring for self rectification within not only ourselves but family and community at large.
Excited to watch this all.
Yes, you are right Dr. Oumar Suleiman... Muslims in Ethiopia can not do anything except individual Dua and Sadaqh for the people of Palestine. Here in Ethiopia, it is difficult to protest for any issue if the cause is national or International so don't forget us. May Allah free of Palestinian people may Allah give them patience
Excellent, what a finely refined character the honourable Imaam Dr Omar sulieman is. Dr Omar Sulieman is from the family of the great Islamic holy martyr Ja'far (may ALLAH swt be most pleased with him.) Who was the companion and the cousin of our most beloved prophet Muhammed (S.A.W.S. ) Ja'far died in the battle of Mu'tah fighting along side and was appointed a battle official directly by our most beloved prophet Muhammed(S.A.W.S.). Ja'far was a great warrior who was severely wounded 72 times by sword and spear and was still standing before he finally fell to the ground. May ALLAH s.w.t be most pleased with him and All praises are for ALLAH s.w.t al-azeem, alone. Salaam
Brother Sulieman is an absolute shining example of a wonderful Mu’min. May Allah SWT strengthen his emaan and protect him Ameen.
Beautiful and inspiring discussion. I feel like the ummah has become distracted by the world and we’re now redirecting back to what’s most important aH. I hope I can see us become even stronger in my lifetime.
22:40 “It is creed. Victory is for the believers.”
May Allah Accept your works, and make it a means of acceptance and Guidance for the Ummah!
You do not know Allah plans until you know His knowledge, and you do not know His mercy until you know His power.☝️
Palestine has changed me on a spiritual level and brought me nearer to God. Thank you for bringing that up, because I've seen that change in multiple people around me.
Good on you! 👍 That means your (fitrah): natural inclination to TRUTH is really up to per. You're GOOD. Welcome to a community that really loves and stands by each other (Muslims)👍
I’ve not finished even 5 minutes and I already know that this is going to be the best of Muhammad Jalal’s all podcasts … اللهم زد وبارك عليهما
Thank God the ummah has axis of resistance liberating Palestine on the daily. People see the truth now. no other country has offered anything. Gaza knows this. We all know this and we won’t forget.
May allah give us the strength for us to strive for the betterment of the our brothers and sisters in Gaza and Palestine.
What a beautiful tribute to Muslim Ouma I’m so proud to be. Muslim we wed more people like Omar Souleimane to enlighten other people many thanks. Faïza from Copenhagen 😊
The people that committed crimes against your "brothers and sisters in Syria" were your own brothers and sisters. Its a Libya 2.0 of your own attacking your own whilst being paid by Gulf monarchs.
Allah (SWT) Justice will be served to every injustice!!! INSHALLAH!!!!
so much to gain from listening to them both very nice ty
So much to learn,and feel strong as Muslim.
Incredible episode learnt and benefited a lot Subhan’Allah, may Allah bless you and reward you both Ameen.
The Sunni world must accept that the spearhead of our Ummah are the Shi'a and we must put aside differences in order to effectively use our numbers in defense of our Ummah
Will they hold themselves to account for their crimes in Iraq, Syria and elsewhere? If not, injustice is bound to collapse, in this world first before the next. Allah does not forget, and Allah does not love the zaalimeen.
@@ismailsarchives7477 I will ask you an honest strategic question. Would syria and Iraq rather be under Israel or under their own oppressive ruler? Tell me what happened to the first and only election held in Egypt? What happened to Morsi? Did Syria or Iraq remove them, or their own dictatorship , US, Saudi,and UAE?
There is no doubt Bashar Asad has done alot of oppression on his people... but which leader in the muslim world hasn’t oppressed its own people. Why is Syria singled out?
Who ruined and divided rich Libya? The French along with UAE...
Egypt and Jordan are worse because they always have a begging bowl towards the US... to feed its people. Syria doesn’t have a begging bowl towards the US to feed its people, infact their oil is getting stolen by the US military in Syria till this day...
If Bashar wasn’t in place today... there would have been total chaos , because there hasn’t been any success in the Arab spring. Starting from Tunisia. Situation hasn’t gotten better and probably worse from the first protest...
Free election is non existent in any Arab country, what makes Syria different?
Syria is one of the few Arab countries that doesn’t have any ties with Israel, unlike Turkey, Egypt, Jordan, UAE, Bahrain... and Saudi would have joined if not for the Oct 7th attack...
Look at the State of Sudan! A country that normalized its ties with Israel for economic reasons... and now in a state of civil war... Sudan could have been helped by its rich sunni leaders but instead keep building high rise buildings and have Saturday amd Sunday as their holidays 😅 ( Qatar is atleast better by having atleast Friday and Saturday as a holiday)
If Bashar wasn’t in power today, be sure it would be under ISIS or Israel... definitely no independent free Syrian party nor Muslim Brotherhood...
The US, Saudi, UAE would never allow it, like it didn’t allow democracy in Egypt in the first place.
Bashar has oppressed its people, and will face the consequences either in this world or the next . Just like Saddam did, Saddam with the help of the whole world including all arab countries attacked Iran... and see what happened to him. But Bashar is intelligent enough not to pounce on another country like Saddam did, attacking its best Arab Ally, Kuwait after he couldn’t win the war with Iran.
Now the only countries that are actually suffering from supporting Palestine are South Lebanon, North Yemen, Syria , Iraq, and Iran. All of them are under sanctions from the US, and all had military or some sort of attack on them since Oct 7, while all GCC countries, Egypt, Jordan etc were busy celebrating with Newyear Fireworks! A new year which is western calendar also... so desperate to be accepted by the west...
To sum it up all this mess in the region is mainly from the time of the existence of Israel in the region. But now we are in no position to point fingers but have no choice but to choose the lesser of the evil.
@@ismailsarchives7477true
Axis of resistance 🫡
@@ismailsarchives7477you mean the zalimeem in syria who were backed by US and saudi, the same as the ones who are helping with palestine genocide? If iraq and syria were sunni lead they would be front in line to kiss israels dirty ass just as saudi, qatar, and bahrain are doing so. They have no shame and are worse than even israel for their support.
i first came across this channel a few months ago and your videos have completely changed my perspective on the world. it’s been interesting to see the insights from the different guests, and they’ve all added to my understanding of foreign and domestic policy both at home and in the muslim world. so when i found out that Omar Suleiman would be a guest, i was quite excited as he is my favourite islamic speaker and i was excited to hear what his thoughts are and i’m not disappointed.
i really enjoyed this episode and it’s reminded me to not lose sight of our purpose and to find the hope within this difficult time. we can all do better and must do better. jazak'allah to both omar suleiman as well as everyone at the thinking muslim!
Mashala, two great minds and motivators, thank you ❤🍉 we all need to do more to unit our Umah and change our despotic rulers. May Allah guidance take the right actions 🤲
Thank you for talking about Syria. It kills me that no one seems to care. 11 million displaced and they have a right to return home. End this madness and start rebuilding.
Thank you @thinking Muslim and Dr Umar Suleiman I was feeling broken today but I feel motivated after your discussion thank you so much ❤
❤
Get Dr Ali Ataie on the show please!!
With ICJ hearing coming up next week, lots of possible evidence bc of biblical references made by lsraeIi politicians
Agree Muslim countries need to pitch in we cannot stay silent. Kudos yo South Africa
Excellent interview. Brother Omar your strength and courage and the pain you feel as a Palestinian American are insipiring. Listening to your perspective on Islamic tradition and the practices of the Prophet towards weaker individuals was awesome and highly enlightening.
جزاک اللہ خیرا
Ma sha Allāh. What an excellent conversation! Love the very thoughtful & very hopeful perspective relayed by Shaykh Omar.
There are many prayers going to Palestine from the entire world. Allah SWT is hearing all the prayers. We put our trust solely in Him, while doing the best that we can with our own ability. This is amazing awakening of the ummah, the people are being united. The only way to move forward is to be positive, have hope, and remember that we need to set an example for those who will follow us in the future. So always be ambassador and let your best light shine. Put goodness out there, and goodness will come back to you.
May God's blessing be upon these men 🙏 and may Alla guide our umma
After looking through the list of boycotted companies I realized that I as an American consumer am guilty of purchasing Sabara Hummus on at least 5 occasions. I bow my head in shame. May Allah (SWT) forgive me for what I have consumed in my ignorance. آمین
Masha allah
May ALLAH Transform him (through this trials)...Remove delusion of interfaith and stand firmly on fundamentals of Islam...ameen.
Bless you both my dear brothers.
❤🔥
"A poverty of Islam within", utter rubbish. I converted 6 years ago in Morocco and wherever I go, I am embraced with love and joy by every Muslim I meet ❤ and I live in a remote valley in Connemara. Most of the Irish people are not Muslim, but we love and support our Palestinian brothers and sisters ❤ with all of our hearts, Al hamdu lillah.
There will be a peaceful solution insha Allah. We all need to believe in Allah/God and trust 🙏 His Power
Dr. Omer Suleiman is exceptionally soft spoken and never loses his cool and chooses his words carefully, and he never openly accuses the hypocrites within the muslim ummah eventhough we all know who he is referring to when discussing about muslims nations who are giving Gaza charity and at the same time siding with Israel in their love for their kingdom and power. May Allah give this man all the power.
As a born muslim who is now 38, I'm more closer to Islam and Allah now more than ever before, all because of Gaza and the resilience of the people there and how the world rulers are siding with the oppressors for their material gains. Tables will turn insha Allah.
However I prefer Sami Hamdi being more open and vocal about this stance.
This is so important for everyone to be hearing right now, SubhanAllah
Thank you for this conversation so many different things to think about, may we all do much better and never forget the oppressed the world over and never stop raising our voices for them whether they be muslim, christian or of any other faith. May Allah protect these two and may we have millions like them, and may Allah hold to account all the secret collaborators and normalisers
May Allah bless you Imam Omar for being a voice of clarity and for reminding us.
This is a very good topic. Jazakallah Khair
Djazak'Allah, thank you for this beautiful honest conversation.
thanks for sharing!!
Thank you very much for this interview
May Allah reward both for such a powerful and clear podcast. Ameen.
We will never forget what happened ❤. Thank Dr. Omar
Beautiful conversation thank you
I'm watching from Ghana 🇬🇭🇯🇴 west africa and I stand with Palestine
May ALLAH SUBHAN-A-WA-TA-'AALA GRANT US, THE BLESSED UMMAH OF THE BEST OF CREATION, AL-SADIQ, AL-AMEEN, RAHMAT-UL-LIL-'AALAMEEN, JADDAL HUSSAIN, RASOOL-ALLAH ﷺ SWIFT VICTORY OVER THE DISBELIEVING PEOPLE FOR HE SUBHAN-A-WA-TA-'AALA IS AL-FATTAAH (THE OPENER) AND MAKE US A MEANS FOR THAT VICTORY FOR WE ARE WEAK AND HE SUBHAN-A-WA-TA-'AALA IS AL-QADEER (THE MOST ABLE)
اَمِين يَا رَبَّ الْعَالَمِيْن
Tabarakallah Shaikh and TKM for this podcast. I love that Shaikh Omar is so vocal and call out the cowards muslim leaders. Wonder what will happens if King Faisal of KSA is still alive now. I don't think he will allow his kingdom to be as it is now. May Allah unite the ummah. May Allah give shifa to our ummah who are suffering and being oppressed. Amin
Ameen Ameen Ameen
Please have Dr Ali Altaie on the program next!
May Allah protect people in Gaza In shaa Allah ❤️
Definitely one of the best interviews!
Thank you for this video, very interesting !
All Muslims should work together like a TASBIH.
You all make up His Tasbih.
The Ummah in Palestine are resilient because they are united like Allah's Tasbih.
Thank you❤
This was amazing. The questions, the answers, very much needed. May Allah protect these guys and their families and keep them on the straight path and may May Allah liberate Palestine ameen
Jazakum Allah kheyran for this great discussion. So many enlightening arguments we can all use around us to spread the truth in a proper and productive way
Subhanallah Beautiful!
Please send love, hope, peace, justice and healing energies to the people of Gaza, West Bank and the entire region.
Love for God and fellow humans is our glue.
Omar is a great example
beautiful lecture
Dr Sulemein has come to UK - so happy!
This is probably the best youtube channel.
Please remember to pray for safety and victory of our victimized brothers and sisters
Great
Jazakallahu Khair
First of all, Ameen!
Thanks for this great work. Keep going on. Ma Sha Allah.
Regarding this discussion particularly: It is a good perspective. The future of our Ummah will be Insha Allah a glorious one. This is as long as we keep in mind that Muslims should act as on Ummah. Yes, currently, we are divided and split into many nation-states. But history is not static. It is in a continuous change. As long as this thinking of Ummah exists, it will realize at the political scene. Insha Allah
Another related point: Yes for boycott & spread the word.
Great interview.
Thanks.
24:48 I need this Hadith of the Prophet peace be upon him’s drawing… it sounded like time series data visualization
I was waiting for this to drop. And I’m glad I did
Another amazing podcast with brother Jalal. I have fallen in love with this UA-cam channel. Refreshingly different from many other talks. Cannot recommend everyone subscribing to this channel highly enough.
Alhamdulillah
Great interview
Thank you
Insya Allah we can all rebuild Gaza. Insya Allah we can rebuild the homes shools hospitals universities and masjids. Amin Amin
May 2024 be a year to rebuild Gaza
I have a few questions. 59:00 who committed the crimes against Syria. Do you mean the Shia of Lebanon or the Iranians? the only two groups that helped the resistance in Palestine? I am genuinely curious. I don't know What he meant, because those two groups were defending themselves against Al-qaeda and its offshoots which includes ISIS, both of which were aided and abetted and sometimes supported by the US and Israel. 35:47 he considers Palestinian all those who embrace and support the cause. Well thank you, I take it as an honor, but I am just wondering whether I as a shia can be given that honor. I did start the boycott of Starbucks in 2000 during the second intifada, following statements by the then-CEO Howard Shultz about Palestinians. My Lebanese and even Palestinian friends used to mock me as too strict when I told them. I guess I am a little hurt, by this inconsistency of Omar Suleiman assuming he means what I think he meant but I hope I am wrong.
Unfortunately hezbollah and Iran’s intentions are not the way they seem. They fight against Israeli apartheid but kill innocents in Syria with the Assad regime. They are not good Muslims and do not represent resistance.
Wrong
Where do you get your info from? @@tajnajjar7745
The higher ups realized how noticed shias are being for fighting injustice that they want to shut them down. Shias fight for injustice anywhere and everywhere. This so called imam wants his followers to not support them and stay home. Kinda like battle of uhud sadly.
This is the time when the Ummah gets united by Islam.
Good lecture
May Allah make us one of them who on the right side
I love this podcast
Best
great
SubhanAllah Alhamdulillah ❤❤
Omar Suleiman....Disney's Fantasia!!!! Ameen!!!
Alhamdulillah ❤️ ❤️
