Where Is Allah When The Ummah Hurts? | Dr. Omar Suleiman

by



When the Ummah screams and the tyrants laugh, some may say “where is Allah?” For years, the resilient Palestinians and others have endured unimaginable hardships, and the past several weeks of horrifying oppression may have shaken us to our core. How do we show complete trust in Allah even when our enemies claim He is absent?

Please note that this lecture was recorded on January 1, 2024 in Birmingham, UK in partnership with Eman Channel.

  5. 00:01 🤲 Tragic encounter with a Palestinian mother losing her son, yet expressing faith and submission to Allah.

    05:32 🏹 Arrogant oppressors boasting and challenging Allah's authority in the last days, met with a divine response causing their downfall.

    08:45 🪰 Allah uses a tiny parasite to wipe out arrogant oppressors, showcasing the immediate response from the heavens.

    10:13 👑 On the Day of Judgment, Allah, the only speaker, silences oppressors and asserts His kingship, highlighting the ultimate authority.

    11:21 🕋 Historical instances where Allah protected the Kaaba, emphasizing His control over events and ultimate restoration of the Ummah.

    21:53 🇵🇸 Amidst the suffering in Gaza, arrogance from oppressors signals the beginning of their end, with Allah's promise of victory for the believers.

    26:28 🌍 People in Gaza aren't questioning Allah but seek the ummah's leaders and strength, emphasizing the need for global Muslim unity and support.

    28:37 🌟 Reflect on the deep connection the people of Gaza have with Allah, inspiring young and old, amidst their struggles.

    29:29 🤴 Proud tyrants speaking fearlessly today will be silenced on the Day of Judgment when Allah declares His kingship.

    32:06 🌍 Strength in numbers: Despite the weakness of our ummah, the global solidarity for Palestine is a sign of strength.

    33:16 🤔 Refocus on your faith: See Allah's presence in the resilience of the oppressed, not the perceived strength of the oppressors.

    34:27 💪 Draw inspiration from unbreakable people, refusing to be deceived by the destruction in front of them.

    36:55 🤲 Combine brokenness with belief: Embrace the simultaneous feelings of helplessness and belief in Allah's power to restore and fulfill promises.

    38:26 🤲 Make dua in desperation: Like Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), call upon Allah with certainty even in moments of brokenness and desperation.

  12. I grew up so distant from Islamic scholars who all looked the same, long beards – shouting at the TV that all is haram. I have since found a scholar who actually inspires me, and shows me the true beauty of Islam. Thank you truly Imam Omar Suleiman. Truly a breath of fresh air🙏🏼 May Allah shower blessings over you for all the good you do; for those that you guide back to Islam and the platform you use for good. Ameen.

  23. Alhamdulillah! I just feel compelled to say that Allah opened my heart to Islam, but he used you Dr. Omar, to help guide me on the path. I am half black, half white from a rural part of New York where I had never even talked to a Muslim before I took my Shahada. This was almost a month ago and your videos gave me great certainty that I was making the right decision. The fact that these brothers welcomed a stranger into their family and continue to check up on me has been a feeling of overwhelming happiness. Jazakallahu Khairan ya ahki.

    I’M ASTONISHED AT THE UMMAH AMONG MAJORITY OF WHOM ARE THOSE WHO DIDN’T KNOW ALLAH(swt) TILL THE DAY BEFORE THE WAR YET COMPLAIN AS THOUGH THEY HAVE BEEN THE BEST IN THEIR IMAN TOWARDS ALLAH(swt).
