Believing in the Unseen

Listen on your favorite podcast app!

In Surat al-Hujurat verse 18, Allah (SWT) says: “Surely Allah knows the Unseen of the heavens and earth. And Allah is All-Seeing of what you do.” Al-Ghaib, or the Unseen, refers to knowledge that is only known to Allah, such as knowledge about the angels and jinn, heaven and hell, and fate and predestination.

Why do we struggle to connect with and be motivated by the Unseen? Can we prove the existence of the Unseen? How can connecting with the Unseen world help us come closer to God?

Join host Mohamad Zaoud for the season four finale of DoubleTake with Dr. Omar Suleiman, founder of Yaqeen Institute.
