Omar Suleiman - Feeling Paralyzed by Stress and Fitna?

About this lecture

In this lecture, Sheikh Omar Suleiman addresses the overwhelming sense of paralysis and suffocation that many Muslims feel in the face of global trials, personal stress, and constant exposure to bad news. Drawing on a powerful hadith about the period before the appearance of Ad-Dajjal — when drought will leave people sustained only by dhikr — he demonstrates why the remembrance of Allah is the believer's most essential tool for surviving and thriving in times of fitna. He concludes with six practical steps rooted in the Sunnah: making du'a against anxiety, seeking clarity through action, setting achievable goals, solving problems within one's capacity, taking intentional breaks, and embracing challenges as opportunities.
