In response, Yaqeen created the Trauma Series to address the impact of trauma on faith and to help the community heal.https://www.youtube.com/embed/cfngXZqajAw10122019-10-02T21:27:30.000Zyesnono https://yaqeeninstitute.org/watch/series/lecture/the-impact-of-trauma-on-faithhttps://cdn.yaqeeninstitute.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/the-impact-of-trauma-on-faith-sa.jpgThe Impact of Trauma on Faith - Sarah Sultan | ISNACON 2019Licensed therapist Sarah Sultan discusses the link between trauma and faith by identifying what trauma is, how the body responds to it, and the impact it has on making connections with Allah.https://www.youtube.com/embed/ogrd9p0X-0A9312019-10-02T21:48:09.000Zyesnono https://yaqeeninstitute.org/watch/series/lecture/the-duha-approach-a-new-model-to-treat-traumahttps://cdn.yaqeeninstitute.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/the-duha-approach-a-new-model-to.jpgThe Duha Approach: A New Model to Treat Trauma - Najwa Awad | ISNACON 2019Licensed therapist Najwa Awad discusses the research that went into the trauma series, focusing on The Duha Approach, a model aligned with Islamic Psychology based on Surat al-Duha.https://www.youtube.com/embed/7sNx1oRxKfw7982019-10-15T21:36:38.000Zyesnono https://yaqeeninstitute.org/watch/series/lecture/the-rising-tide-of-atheismhttps://cdn.yaqeeninstitute.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/the-rising-tide-of-atheism-sh-mo.jpgThe Rising Tide of Atheism - Sh.

One of the reasons small deeds are so appreciated is because the person doing such a deed doesn’t think much of the deed itself, but is thinking highly of the One for whom the deed is done. Also there is an expectation of the wealthy to give charity; we usually don’t have such expectations of those who have less to give. The question is what is your expectation of yourself. More importantly, what is Allah’s expectation of you?https://www.youtube.com/embed/crVAxb2mSTc31182017-03-16T07:38:38.000Zyesnono https://yaqeeninstitute.org/watch/series/40-hadiths-on-social-justice/hadith-6-a-word-of-truth-in-the-face-of-an-oppressor-40-hadiths-on-social-justicehttps://cdn.yaqeeninstitute.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/40Hadith_768x432.jpgHadith #6 - A Word of Truth in the Face of An OppressorWords are often the starting point of both good and evil.

The character of the Prophet ﷺ is exhibited in relationships he had with people before Islam was revealed, and his relationship with Zayd is one of them. Zayd (ra) was the first freed slave to become a Muslim. His life and the choices he made exemplify what it means to love the Prophet ﷺ. Tune in to episode 12 of the Firsts with Sh.

Then Allah, Glorious is He, revealed: “Woe to the mutaffifeen (those who shortchange others),” and they became the best of people in how they dealt with weights and measures after that.” [Ibn Majah] Shortchanging, or tatfeef, is to cheat or be stingy in the way you give back. Sh. Omar Suleiman describes the different concepts of tatfeef and how we can avoid shortchanging others.https://www.youtube.com/embed/LlO6_k3GELk23032017-04-26T20:13:55.000Zyesnono https://yaqeeninstitute.org/watch/series/virtual-khutbahs/coronavirus-neglected-blessings-and-unique-opportunitieshttps://cdn.yaqeeninstitute.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/coronavirus-neglected-blessings.jpgCOVID-19: Neglected Blessings and Unique Opportunities | Virtual KhutbahAs we practice and endure social isolation and even quarantine, we should stop thinking of what we may be missing out on and start considering the ways that time could be spent in attaining knowledge and getting closer to Allah.

Sh. Abdullah Oduro answers the question “When should a person take the Shahadah?” and explains that your journey is about the personal relationship you have with Allah (swt).  The Shahadah ignites that relationship.

Abdullah Oduro delves into the concept of being truthful with oneself in our intention of prayer. When we do so, prayer becomes a priority in our lives.

In each, we find great blessings, igniting renewal and redemption in our worship. – The Ka’bah, which metaphorically represents the ‘house of Allah’, was rebuilt by Prophet Ibrahim (AS) and Prophet Ismail (AS) to serve as a central point for Muslims to direct their prayer.

Many of us have experienced life-changing du’as, but few so literally as Zayd ibn Harithah (r), a Companion so steeped in his conviction in Islam that even an attempt on his life could not stop him from prayer and supplication. And when an angel armed with a spear came to his rescue, the benefit of his conviction in the Most Merciful became crystal clear.https://www.youtube.com/embed/Jf9kqxWXs-c3872022-05-15T14:16:41.000Zyesnono https://yaqeeninstitute.org/watch/series/angels-in-their-presence-season-2/ep-7-a-botched-robbery-angels-in-their-presence-season-2https://cdn.yaqeeninstitute.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/ep-7-a-botched-robbery-angels-in.jpgEp. 7: A Botched Robbery | Angels In Their Presence | Season 2Du’a is the most powerful tool of the believer, granting relief in even the most hopeless situations. As Abu Mi’laq al-Ansari (r) witnessed for himself when his life was threatened, a sincere du’a made in need calls down angels from the heavens.

But what about the mindset behind procrastination, and what attitude should Muslims have towards it? Procrastination doesn’t just prevent productivity.

As Ramadan draws closer, reverberations of the words Allahumma ballighna Ramadan (O Allah, let us reach Ramadan) abound. Although this sentence carries a wonderful sentiment, it’s not authentically attributed to the Prophet ﷺ. But there is a beautifully comprehensive du’a the Companions used to make to reach Ramadan safely and prepare for the month of mercy spiritually. Dr. Tahir breaks down that wonderful du’a taught by Sh. Yahya ibn Abi Kathir, a student of those blessed Sahabah.

Have you ever prayed witr behind an imam and said “ameen” without understanding the du’a he was making? Taught by the Prophet ﷺ, it’s called du’a qunoot—a comprehensive prayer made every witr salah that consists of five requests. Understanding it can transform your prayer. In this video, Dr. Tahir breaks down the deep meanings and wisdom behind the five requests: guidance, aafiyah, Allah’s friendship (the awliya of Allah), barakah or blessings, and safety from evil.

In this khutbah, Dr. Omar Suleiman talks about how the Prophet ﷺ advised us on how to prepare ourselves for trials and tribulations, and how he taught us how to be content when certain blessings miss us, unsure of how they would change us.

In fact, it is one of the reasons for the erosion of trust in religious authority. Dr. Usaama al-Azami joins Imam Tom Facchine in discussing the shifts in our understanding of religious interpretation and authority and how we can better engage with our scholarship.Want to listen on the go?

Imam Tom Facchine unpacks the deeper issues behind this question, from the duty of da'wah to the reality of life abroad. Is the grass really greener, or is it just a romanticized illusion?

They speak of love for their scripture, loyalty to their prophet, and devotion to God. But belief without obedience is hollow. When revelation challenged comfort, it was ignored. The book was honored in words, but neglected in action. This episode exposes the gap between professed faith and lived submission. It highlights a pattern called out by Allah Himself: a pattern of hypocrisy, of reverence without responsibility, of scripture recited but not followed. The truth has come again—clear, complete, undeniable. The question is no longer what people claim to believe.

They speak of love for their scripture, loyalty to their prophet, and devotion to God. But belief without obedience is hollow. When revelation challenged comfort, it was ignored. The book was honored in words, but neglected in action. This episode exposes the gap between professed faith and lived submission. It highlights a pattern called out by Allah Himself: a pattern of hypocrisy, of reverence without responsibility, of scripture recited but not followed. The truth has come again—clear, complete, undeniable. The question is no longer what people claim to believe. The question is: Will they follow it?https://www.youtube.com/embed/yeWfwBxvTOE14352025-09-10T18:18:57.000Zyesnono https://yaqeeninstitute.org/watch/series/khutbahs/are-all-deaths-equal-how-the-prophet-wouldve-responded-khutbahhttps://cdn.yaqeeninstitute.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/T20-copy.jpgAre All Deaths Equal?

Delivered over 1,000 years ago, it addresses some of the most pressing issues still facing us today. On the 9th of Dhul-Hijjah, during Hajj, just months before the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ would pass away, he stood on Mount Arafat and delivered a timeless speech to his companions. The following narration is a compilation of authentic snippets of his final sermon.https://www.youtube.com/embed/NQvCClCNO-c2402025-09-15T15:09:34.000Zyesnono https://yaqeeninstitute.org/watch/series/the-firsts/abdullah-ibn-amr-the-one-who-preserved-the-sunnah-the-firstshttps://cdn.yaqeeninstitute.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Firsts_164_V3_YT.jpgAbdullah ibn Amr (ra): The One Who Preserved The Sunnah | The FirstsHe embraced Islam later in the Prophet ﷺ’s life, but strove to catch up in seeking and serving knowledge, sometimes almost going to extremes in that pursuit.

When radical groups like the Qarmatians stole the Black Stone and extremist factions terrorized scholars, visionaries like Nizam al-Mulk responded by building institutions—the Nizamiyya schools—that would educate the generation of scholars who would guide leaders like Nur al-Din and Salahuddin.

The First Crusade wasn’t won because the Crusaders were stronger or more numerous. It succeeded through discipline, organization, and psychological warfare—while the Muslim world was divided by rival rulers, short-term thinking, and emotional reactions without strategy. This episode traces that collapse from Europe’s mobilization to Antioch, Ma‘arra, and the fall of Jerusalem in 1099.

Europe gathered its greatest kings. Richard the Lionheart arrived with a mind as sharp as his sword. The siege of Acre dragged on for years until both sides were exhausted. Then came a betrayal no one expected. This is where Salahuddin is tested like never before: a shocking wedding proposal, a massacre that changed the Crusades, a Frankish mother running to the Sultan for help — and a leader who refused to become the monster he was fighting.https://www.youtube.com/embed/A5KCw5yuHYU30912026-02-07T05:20:11.000Zyesnono https://yaqeeninstitute.org/watch/series/explained/why-muslim-prisoners-are-the-key-to-ending-empireshttps://cdn.yaqeeninstitute.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/V4_Dictator.Nightmare_thumbnail_1920x1080_01-1-1.pngWhy Muslim Prisoners Are The Key to Ending EmpiresMuslims like Mahmoud Khalil, Sami Hamdi, and Marwan Marouf are being targeted more than ever simply for staying true to their faith. But this isn’t new. For hundreds of years, oppressors—from colonial powers to modern tyrants—have refined the same “playbook,” testing strategies across countries and seas to suppress Islam by imprisoning believers like Imam Jamil Al-Amin, Al-Emir Abdelkader, Sa’id ibn Jubayr, and many others. Yet no matter how detailed their plans are, they always fail against one unstoppable force: the power of muslim solidarity.

What does that mean for us? When you have the upper hand — at home, at work, in leadership — do you hold yourself to a higher standard? Or do you justify your actions because you can?

In this episode, Dr. Omar Suleiman reflects on the names As-Samad, Al-Haqq, Al-Waasi’—and how Allah alone makes you whole, gives your life true meaning, and opens endless space for growth when everything else feels suffocating.

These powerful verses from Surah Al-A’raf contrast two states — sleeping at night and playing during the day — and expose a deeper issue: a heedless heart. This reflection is a wake-up call about spiritual alertness, small sins we take lightly, and how to live with constant awareness of Allah without paranoia, but with purpose.

Surah Tawbah is one of the most powerful and hard-hitting chapters of the Qur’an. It opens with a final warning and disavowal, yet it is still called the Surah of Repentance. How can a surah that begins with distance still carry the name of tawbah? This reflection explores its missing basmalah, its urgent call back to Allah, and the balance between mercy and ultimatum.

Life rarely moves in a straight line. Instead, it moves in cycles. We experience strength and weakness, success and loss, ease and hardship. Yet when those cycles repeat, life can start to feel stuck. Sometimes a familiar sin returns. Other times a struggle lingers longer than expected. And occasionally an unanswered du’a weighs heavily on the heart.

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?

But the Prophet ﷺ warned that when we curse time, we are actually speaking against the One who controls it. In this episode of The Name I Need, Dr. Omar Suleiman reflects on the Divine Names Al-Qaabid (The Withholder), Al-Baasit (The Expander), Al-Muqaddim (The One who brings forward), and Al-Muʾakhir (The One who delays).

In moments like these, many people quietly wrestle with difficult questions: Why does wrongdoing seem to prosper? Why do some people commit such cruelty? And if God is truly just, why does oppression appear to continue unchecked? Islam does not ignore these questions.

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.https://www.youtube.com/embed/MK_XdPjs8do9932026-03-06T21:46:32.000Zyesnono https://yaqeeninstitute.org/watch/series/quran-30-for-30-season-7/quran-30-for-30-season-7-juz-19https://cdn.yaqeeninstitute.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/Q30For30_S7_Juz_19.jpgJuz 19: What Makes You Valuable to Allah? | Ust.

When someone is wronged, something deep inside us longs for balance to be restored. But human courts are limited. They can only judge what is visible and proven. True justice requires more than a verdict. It requires a Reckoner who saw everything: the hidden tears, the intentions no one heard, the apologies never spoken, and every quiet act of cruelty or kindness.

In this reflection, Dr. Omar Suleiman explores the names Al-Qawiyy (The All-Strong), Al-Mateen (The Unshakable), and Al-‘Azeez (The Almighty)—revealing how Islam defines strength as resilience, self-control, and dignity rooted in faith.

Dr. Omar Suleiman reflects on three of the most hope-giving Names of Allah: Al-Jawaad, Al-Mannaan, and Al-Wahhaab.

On Laylatul Qadr, our mother Aisha (RA) did not ask for a list. She asked one question. The Prophet (PBUH) did not give her a ladder to climb or a prayer to memorize.
