Yaqeen Podcast ·

2025/03/23

Who will you be with in the Barzakh? Beyond just your family, you will be reunited with those who were your closest friends in this life. But pause: is this a good thing or a bad thing? Are your friends from the righteous, who encourage you to good, or do you know deep down that they urge you away from your faith? The company you keep will be a major component of your eternity, so choose wisely. NOTE: All depictions of Barzakh are purely conceptual and only vocals were used in the making of t...

2025/03/23

What is the impact of a sincere du'a made for another? Our lives are an intricate network of interactions, big and small. For those who pray for each other, even just by asking for the forgiveness of the believing men and women, there is an unimaginably big impact across time and space. One day, you'll meet those you prayed for, as well as those who prayed for you. And even if you never met in this life, the bond you share as members of the same ummah is unbreakable. NOTE: All depictions of B...

Defeat Your Ego Before It Defeats You | Midnight...

Yaqeen Podcast ·

2025/03/23

Your real strength isn’t in your body. In this second night of Midnight Majlis, Dr. Omar Suleiman and Sh. Yaser Birjas reflect on chapter 3, “The Mind and Repose” — and how conquering your ego is the only path to real inner peace. Dive in as Ibn Hazm (rh) dismantles every false measure of pride we cling to — strength, speed, power, popularity — and redirects our gaze to the only virtue that matters: the intellect used in service of God.

How to Break Free from Anxiety | Midnight Majlis |...

2025/03/23

FOMO keeps us chasing, comparing, and feeling like we’re always behind. But what are we actually afraid of missing? In the first session of this year’s Midnight Majlis, Dr. Omar Suleiman and Sh. Yaser Birjas unpack Ibn Hazm’s reflections on anxiety, comparison, and why setting higher aspirations for your soul is the only way to escape the trap of constantly feeling left out. Because the real question is: What if you’re missing out on something far greater?

The Miracle of the Longest Surah of the Qur’an |...

Yaqeen Podcast ·

2025/03/22

“The Qur’an has no structure.” This is a common claim made by critics, but is it true? How does Surah Al-Baqarah, the longest surah in the Qur’an, actually reveal a perfect, interconnected design? In this reflection, Sh. Mohammad Elshinawy walks through the structure of Surah Al-Baqarah, showing how every verse is connected. From the failure of Banu Isra’il to the test of the ummah of Muhammad ﷺ, every shift in the surah serves a purpose: to show what true submission looks like. “Surah Al-Ba...

The brief pause in the bombing is over—again. In the holiest month. How do we process the continued onslaught and oppression against our ummah and the exhausting cycle of grief and helplessness? How do we find strength when oppression returns after hope?

How to Calculate Zakat the Right Way | Ramadan...

Yaqeen Podcast ·

2025/03/22

If you’re unsure whether you owe zakat or how to pay it correctly, this practical guide lays it all out. Zakat is the third pillar of Islam and the twin of salah. In this brief but essential crash course, Sh. Mohammad Elshinawy dives into the key technicalities: who must pay, how much, and what counts. He covers everything from the nisab threshold to the 2.5% rule (and when it’s 2.6%), as well as how to calculate your savings, investments, business assets, or retirement plans. “The right o...

Why Tonight Could Be Laylatul Qadr | Ramadan...

Yaqeen Podcast ·

2025/03/22

When an odd night meets a Friday, is it Laylatul Qadr? Some scholars say that when the best night aligns with the best day, it holds extra weight. But does that mean tonight is the night? In this brief reminder, Dr. Omar Suleiman explores what happens when blessed times coincide, why scholars emphasize this alignment, and how we should approach it spiritually—because if tonight carries the weight they describe, it could be the Laylatul Qadr we’ve been seeking.

2025/03/22

Your loved ones who died haven't left you. They've just moved on to the next station of life—and phone service isn't very good there. They're waiting to see you again, and as they wait, they rejoice in your visits to their graves. They celebrate when they hear of your 'ibadah and accomplishments in the dunya. And they are elated to receive the best gift of all that you can possibly give them: your du'a for them. NOTE: All depictions of Barzakh are purely conceptual and only vocals were used i...

Yaqeen Podcast ·

2025/03/21

Patience and gratitude are the keys to contentment, in this life and the next. For every hardship, patience brings peace and grows gardens of reward. And every moment gift Allah has given you, from the ability to hear Qur'an to the chance to enjoy a bite of food, is an opportunity to say 'Alhamdulillah' with deep sincerity, and allow your thankfulness to flourish. Can we learn how to have both from the example of a limbless father of a dead son? NOTE: All depictions of Barzakh are...

Do You Want to See Tyrants Suffer? | Ramadan...

2025/03/20

“Now I understand why Hell exists.” This thought has resonated deeply in response to the latest atrocities in Palestine. But does it imply that Muslims are cruel and desire the suffering of others? And why is there a window to Hell in Paradise where believers witness the punishment of tyrants? In this brief reminder, Dr. Omar Suleiman reflects on maintaining moral integrity while seeking justice—and what it means to find peace in knowing oppressors will face their consequences. “It’s not lik...

2025/03/20

Struggling to keep up with your Qur’an recitation goals this Ramadan? Your greatest triumph isn’t how far you get in the Qur’an—it’s how far the Qur’an gets into you. Some rush through it, but the Qur’an only heals those who approach it with sincerity. Sh. Mohammad Elshinawy breaks down the three types of people with the Qur’an—and what truly counts in your recitation.

How Ya’qub (as) Knew Yusuf (as) Wasn’t Dead | Ramadan...

Yaqeen Podcast ·

2025/03/20

“I know from Allah what you don’t know.” These were the words of Prophet Ya’qub (as) when everyone around him believed Yusuf (as) was gone forever. But how did he hold onto certainty when the world told him otherwise? And what does this teach us about faith in the Unseen—especially when the promise of justice in places like Palestine seems so far away? In this reflection, Dr. Omar Suleiman explores the deep connection between Ya’qub and Yusuf (as), the unseen ways Allah reassures the hearts ...

You’re flying through the Qur’an this Ramadan, but it feels distant. Why don’t the words of God move your heart? Why does it reach some people so easily while you struggle to connect? In this reflection, Sh. Mohammad Elshinawy explores the barriers blocking the Qur’an—distraction, heedlessness, and giving it only what’s left of our time. The Mighty Book is too proud to accept leftovers, and it will only attend to you if you give it your undivided attention. “The Qur’an will never give you p...

Yaqeen Podcast ·

2025/03/18

The Qur'an is the light in your darkest moments, the voice that will defend you when no one else can, and the companion that will never abandon you. But what happens when you abandon it? The Prophet ﷺ described a terrifying fate for those who neglect the Qur'an. The words of Allah are meant to fill your heart, not collect dust on a shelf. In life, the Qur'an is your refuge. In death, it is your only defense. Will it be your savior in the grave, or the proof against you? NOTE: All depictions o...

Yaqeen Podcast ·

2025/03/18

Zina is a pathway to destruction. It starts with a glance, a conversation, a moment of indulgence, and before you know it, you’re trapped in an unrelenting fire. The Prophet ﷺ described the terrifying fate of those who let their desires consume them—a blazing oven in the Barzakh, where regret burns as fiercely as the flames themselves. But the struggle against temptation isn't without reward. Those who hold on to their faith and protect their chastity in a world filled with desires are promis...

Yaqeen Podcast ·

2025/03/16

Debt doesn’t leave with your body—it follows you into the Barzakh. The soul remains suspended until its dues are settled, held back from its final destination. If unpaid debts weigh so heavily, what about the burden of riba (interest)? The Prophet ﷺ saw its punishment—people drowning in a river of blood, never reaching the shore. Meanwhile, charity multiplies your wealth in this life and builds your home in the next. Will you be held back by debt, or propelled forward by your sadaqah? NOTE: A...
