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 🙏✌🏼
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.
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
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.”
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.
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.
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❤
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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
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.
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)👍
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.
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 🤲
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!
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.
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.
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.
❤ 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
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 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.
@@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.
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.
The same Syrian rebels you pray for were backed by US and saudi who also support palestine genocide. Because the ones actually risking there lives for palestine are shia you say “we don’t need them” bc of the ummah. You have bahrain helping israel as well. Wonder if the situation would be different if they were overthrown. Grow a pair and come to a realization to the truth. Because noone else in the entire “ummah” is risking their lives.
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
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
"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
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
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
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.
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
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.
Another amazing podcast with brother Jalal. I have fallen in love with this RU-vid channel. Refreshingly different from many other talks. Cannot recommend everyone subscribing to this channel highly enough.
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.
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.
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.
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.
For those of us wondering about the Palestinians faith in God here is an explanation (video link below). Tawhid in Islam is not a theoretical construct which it is to most Muslims. This idea God is one. No. To a Muslim they should know God is doing everything at every instant. That is Tawhid. If you really understand this you will have utter trust in God. You will put all your trust in God becaus it's all God. God is doing everything in every instant. And this is why IF YOUR NOT CONTENT WITH YOUR CIRCUMSTANCES, YOUR NOT CONTENT WITH GOD. Because it's God that put you into those circumstances. But what God is asking you to do is respond to them appropriately. That's the challenge. It's not the circumstances. The challenge is the power that God has given you in your will, your ability to actually take your circumstances and respond appropriately. Note: “tawḥīd” in Islam means 'oneness [of God]') is the concept of monotheism in Islam ru-vid.comCvoE-I1eWZc?si=JWIAUSjcqDXzzkP2
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’ve been waiting for this !!! Random question but what’s your thoughts on putting a Shia scholar on here too? Like Ammar nakshawanis ? I’m Sunni but I do see people like him from Shia sect who talk about unity and I think this could be very beneficial to the ummah. We need unity. Regardless of the difference in understanding the religion I think we need to let Allah swt decide and have us try to unify as one ummah
00:04 Pressure on Muslim countries to sanction Israel and the United States. 03:15 The umah's governmental response has been a failure. 09:26 Lessons from the 40 companions who abandoned their position in battle. 12:17 Sins bring hardship to the believers 18:10 Allah decrees certain people to be tested and others to be rewarded 21:03 Allah's way of humbling oppressors 26:46 Hardship brings ease and inspiration in moments of distress 29:44 Allah will replace those who have betrayed you with someone better. 35:38 Priority has shifted towards rebuilding Gaza. 38:17 Feeling inadequate in supporting Gaza 44:17 The imperative of looking at Palestine differently 47:17 Engaging with an Israeli business from a Shariah perspective 52:48 Muslim organizations should collectively commit to the BDS movement 55:42 Need for Muslim countries to put pressure on governments and sanction Israel 1:01:24 Recognizing our role in the broader umah and the need for introspection 1:03:54 Muslims can use collective power to influence American foreign policy 1:09:18 Hope and resilience in Palestine.
