Is it an even night or an odd night?

As we enter the last 10 nights of Ramadan — the most blessed part of the entire month, and the opportunity to catch the immensely valuable Laylatul Qadr — we must not take any chances. Do your best on every single night. 

Dr. Omar Suleiman also urges us to make du’a for our unjustly detained brothers and sisters in the last 10 nights of Ramadan. May Allah grant them and their families ease and hasten their release.

What are the 3 lies being sold in America right now? 
From those who stood against Nuh (as) and the Prophet ﷺ to those committing crimes in Iran, the oppressors have always had foot soldiers who swallow the propaganda and genuinely believe they’re fighting for a good cause.
Dr. Omar Suleiman reflects on Surah al-Mu’minun, verse 24, and emphasizes that Muslims must urge their neighbors to realize that they are being lied to and kept afraid so that they don’t open their eyes to the truth.

What happens when powerful elites are exposed — and war follows?

Dr. Omar Suleiman reflects on the Epstein scandal, the Iran war narrative, and a powerful ayah from Surah Al-Isra about how nations fall. The Qur’an teaches that when corruption spreads among the elites, destruction follows a pattern.

Are we witnessing that pattern today? From past empires to our present moment, exposure often comes before collapse.

There are clear, black-and-white truths about the current conflict, but also many gray areas and political dynamics. How should Muslims navigate this?

Dr. Omar Suleiman reflects on leaning into your fitrah, the Qur’an’s guidance on conflict between Muslims, remembering the Names of Allah as you process the situation, and the reality that multiple things can be true at once.
