You’ve been Muslim your whole life and yet you still feel like a stranger to your religion. You’re not alone, and you’re not the first.

In this khutbah, Dr. Omar Suleiman addresses one of the most common and least talked about struggles in the Muslim community. The feeling that your faith has always been there, but never truly felt like yours. 

Du’a mentioned by Dr. Omar Suleiman: 

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ الثَّبَاتَ فِي الأَمْرِ وَالْعَزِيمَةِ عَلَى الرُّشْدِ

Allahumma inni as’aluka ath-thabata fi al-amr, wa al-azimata ‘ala ar-rushd.

O Allah, I ask You for steadfastness in all matters, and for determination upon right guidance.

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

In Surah an-Naml, the Quran captures an exchange between Prophet Sulayman (peace be upon him) and an ant warning its colony of approaching danger, a moment Allah chose to preserve for all generations.

Sh. Mohammad Elshinawy shares lessons from the surah on mercy that extends beyond those who look like us, the responsibility to contribute rather than curse the times we live in, and the wisdom of pairing advice with explanation rather than authority. It closes with the ant's most remarkable line and what that teaches us about thinking well of others.

Uncover the wisdom of the ants in this khutbah.

One day, death itself will die.

There will be a moment when death is slaughtered between Paradise and Hellfire, and eternity finally begins. Temporary choices will become permanent realities.

This conversation wrestles with difficult but necessary questions about divine justice, mercy, and accountability. What happens when heedlessness hardens the heart? How can you seek Allah’s mercy before the door closes forever?

Join Sh. Omar Suleiman and Sh. Ali Hammuda as they reflect on the eternal nature of the Hereafter—and the powerful du’as that can cause Jannah itself to ask Allah to admit you into it.

From the events of 9/11 to San Diego: this past Monday, three Muslim men stood between two armed gunmen and the lives of 140 children.
Sh. Mohammad Elshinawy delivers this khutbah the Friday after. He reflects on the brevity of life, the honor of these three men, and the Islamophobia that has been building since 9/11. 
He calls on the Muslim communities in America to respond not just with grief, but with the kind of strategic, long-term resolve that actually changes things.
