2025/05/21

A century after his birth — and 60 years after his assassination — El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz, or Malcolm X, continues to exert a powerful influence on efforts against racism and oppression from the United States to Africa. After enduring the cruelty of overt and systemic racism at a young age, Malcolm made a lifelong commitment to uplifting himself and all African-Americans. Bold and uncompromising, but also a sincere seeker of truth, he embraced Islam, performed Hajj, and traveled widely. Ma...

Dr. Farhan Abdul Azeez just returned from Gaza—again. He went during Ramadan, prayed Eid with children in new clothes, and hours later saw their bodies in the morgue. He stood beside men who were martyred moments after smiling with him. In this conversation with Dr. Omar Suleiman, he shares what he witnessed, what the world must know, and what it truly means to love the ummah—to walk through rubble, taste the sweetness of faith, and keep returning to serve, even if it might be the last time....

Yaqeen Podcast ·

2025/05/15

After nearly two years since the escalation of the genocide, half the Christian population of Gaza has been killed or forced to flee by the Israeli regime. But despite Palestine being home to Christianity’s holiest sites, the Palestinian Christians being the oldest Christian community anywhere in the world, and very prominent Christian voices like the late Pope Francis calling for an end to the genocide, many Christians in the West continue to support Israel. Why? Why do Christian Zionists f...

2025/05/13

“I’d spend my entire sujud du’a time praying for Gaza, only to wake up and go to work in a company that was contributing to that suffering.” In this one-on-one interview, Dr. Omar Suleiman sits down with Ibtihal Aboussad to talk about her decision to call out Microsoft during its 50th anniversary celebration for its complicity in the genocide in Gaza through its AI program. She breaks down what led up to that moment, how she prepared spiritually, and what it meant to take that public stand.

Why Did Prophet Muhammad ﷺ Marry Aisha? Dismantling...

Yaqeen Podcast ·

2025/05/08

Why would the Prophet ﷺ marry a child? That is the question many want answered, but before we begin to address it, we have to admit it is more than a mere question; rather, it is an accusation and judgment of character. Underneath the question lies the notion that we should be troubled by the age of ‘Aisha at marriage, that whatever her age was, it is concerning, and—worse than that—however great the Prophet ﷺ was, the age at which ‘Aisha was married to him is problematic. The controversy ove...

Yaqeen Podcast ·

2025/03/29

When all else fades, only hope in Allah remains. At the moment of death, no deed will matter more than trusting in His mercy. Even the most righteous entered the Barzakh with sins—yet it was their good opinion of Allah that erased them. In that unseen world, His mercy conceals shortcomings, and His forgiveness grants peace. The gates of redemption never close to those who sincerely seek Him. So as you journey through this life, carry this truth with you: hope in Allah is not just a feeling—it...

You can’t fix what you refuse to face. Dr. Omar Suleiman and Sh. Yaser Birjas reflect on how Ibn Hazm (rh)’s brutal honesty with himself made him a better man—and why confronting your own flaws is the key to real transformation.

Ep. 29 - Everyone Will Have Regrets | The Other Side:...

Yaqeen Podcast ·

2025/03/27

Every soul in the Barzakh carries the weight of 'if only'. The sinner will wish they had repented. The righteous will wish they had done more. Even the martyr will long to return—not for this world, but to sacrifice themselves for Allah again. No one regrets a missed opportunity in the dunya. They only regret the deeds they didn’t do for Allah. What will you wish for when time runs out? NOTE: All depictions of Barzakh are purely conceptual and only vocals were used in the making of the soundt...

2025/03/26

What did your Tahajjud plant for you? When the world slept, you stood in the stillness of the night, whispering to your Lord. The tears you shed in secret watered a garden unseen—one that now grows in your grave, lighting it with peace. While others fear what awaits them, you have a secret gift, waiting to be unveiled. Tahajjud is not just a prayer—it’s an invitation to nearness. And in the Barzakh, the one who stood before Allah in the night will stand closest to Him in eternity. NOTE: All d...

What happens in the heavens and the graves on Laylatul Qadr? The angels fill the skies, and destinies are written. The living pray for mercy, while the dead long for one more chance. But this night isn’t just for us—its blessings reach beyond. Your du’a can lift the souls of those who have passed, just as it can change your fate. Allahumma innaka ‘afuwwun, tuhibbul ‘afwa, fa’fu ‘anna—don’t forget to include them in the "us." NOTE: All depictions of Barzakh are purely conceptual and only vocal...

Is your knowledge making you worse? You can memorize verses, master texts, even preach to others—and still be far from Allah. So what kind of knowledge actually purifies the soul? In this Midnight Majlis reflection, Dr. Omar Suleiman and Sh. Yaser Birjas explore Ibn Hazm’s advice about knowledge, ego, and the difference between true guidance and performative scholarship.

Yaqeen Podcast ·

2025/03/24

Just because you don’t see it doesn’t mean it’s not working. Your du’a can strengthen the feet of the oppressed, ease a soul in the grave, or even shift history itself. The martyrs of Gaza may not have seen the victory they set in motion, just as Sumayya (ra) never saw Mecca embrace Islam. But in the Barzakh, they may be greeted with news of their impact. And what about your loved ones who have passed? The Prophet ﷺ said du’a reaches them like gifts of light, easing burdens and raising ranks....
