If Allah says that He doesn't test souls beyond their scope, then why does it feel like Allah is testing me with heavy burdens that I can't handle? How is God's Power manifested in the way He grants authority to whom He wills, even in the case of oppressors like Fir'aun? Why can't I just "live my truth"?

Join them and a surprise guest every day this Ramadan as they extract new perspectives and gems from the Qur’an.

Alhamdulillah while grieving a dead baby. Hasbunallah wa ni’mal wakeel in front of a demolished home. La ilaha illa Allah while outrunning air strikes. For 75 years, Palestinians have shown the world what resilience and unshakeable faith looks like. Now it's time for us to learn from them. How do we build the same resilience so that we can keep advocating for justice in Palestine? Their voices do not cower in the face of tyrants. Why do ours?

An explanation of the verses in the Qur’an that speak of the various ways in which Allah foils the plans of the oppressors.

It didn’t start last week. From Isra wal Mi’raj, Umar ibn al-Khattab, and Salahuddin Ayyubi to the Balfour Declaration, the Zionist Movement, the Nakba, and the current siege of Gaza—Palestine’s history is well-documented.  Join three Palestinians—Morad Barghouthi, Dania Tbakhi, and Reem Sultan (whose family members were among those killed in the Gaza hospital bombing this week)—as they recount the true story of what is today an occupied land and a traumatized people on the brink of a...

The best thing you can do for Palestine right now is to pray, and the best du'a you can make is one that is sincere and heartfelt. But when you've exhausted your own words, turn to the Qur'an and Sunnah. Each is full of resonant du'as that believers have echoed for centuries in their own moments of crisis. As Gaza continues to burn, keep these du’as frequent on your tongue, just as you keep the martyrs and the suffering women, men, and children of the Holy Land in your heart.

Thousands gathered at the national mall between White House and Capitol Hill for Jummah followed by a march. You are alive in this moment of Palestinian catastrophe. You are witnessing a genocide of Gaza. With that witnessing comes a great responsibility.

Advocacy is exhausting. It demands your energy, passion, and unrelenting focus. It requires you to forgo daily priorities and neglect yourself in pursuit of a greater good. And it’s worth it, because the Palestinian people deserve peace and justice. But in the middle of these moments of crisis, it’s crucial to take care of yourself and maintain extra acts of ‘ibadah. In a dunya filled with suffering and injustice, it’s only in the remembrance of Allah that your heart will find rest.

Rage. Anger. Hurt. The horrific images, the appalling injustices, and the exposure to propaganda have taken us on an emotional roller coaster. There is a genocide happening before our very eyes, and yet the media is working in full force to uphold lies. We’re waging a battle on multiple fronts: infuriated at the Zionist atrocities and misinformation campaign, enraged at the lack of support for our brothers and sisters, and furious at the feeling of being robbed of a voice. What do we do with...

Israel just bombed a hospital into non-existence. Doctors, nurses, infants, orphans, refugees—at least 800 innocents, gone from this world in an instant. But not dead. They are in the Merciful Hands of Allah, receiving the rank and blessings of honored martyrs. They’ve been chosen to be among His shuhada’, and we’ve been chosen to speak out against the ongoing massacre of the Gazan people. Now is the moment for each of us to stand up to an uncaring world and make them see the brutality and...

Dehumanization. Brutalization. Victim-blaming. From the IOF to police brutality, our oppression is undoubtedly connected and undoubtedly devastating. But the outpouring of protests around the world uplift us like nothing else can. In the hundreds of thousands, in cities across the globe, people have been calling on the world to recognize and rectify the tragedy unfolding in Gaza. This collective courage moves mountains. Now is the moment to fulfill our duty as Muslims and stand for justice....

Palestine is being pulverized while the world watches. Images of our brothers and sisters, most of them children, are flooding our circles, and though we’re sharing them incessantly amidst censorship, pushback, and lies, it feels like shouting into a void. There is collective pain in our global ummah on many levels. How do we deal with the trauma we are witnessing through our screens? How do we cope with feelings of powerlessness, despair, and anguish? How do we cope with the loss of loved...

As we witness the machinery of political and media institutions squarely against the Palestinians, and our own friends and colleagues consuming and parroting the most harmful of propaganda, how do we assure ourselves that we will indeed prevail against it all insha'Allah.

Dr. Omar Suleiman leads a moving du‘a for our brothers and sisters in Gaza and Palestine.
