About this lecture

In this powerful khutbah, Sheikh Omar Suleiman explores the Quranic concept of divine retribution for mockery, drawing on verses from Surah al-Mutaffifin, Surah al-Baqarah, and Surah al-Hadid to bring comfort to believers who witness the oppression and taunting of Muslims — particularly in Gaza. He explains how Allah's promise to repay the mockers is not a call for cruelty, but a source of spiritual solace, while also turning the lens inward with a firm reminder that believers must guard themselves against the same sin of mockery in their own lives.

Dr. Omar Suleiman is the Founder and President of the Yaqeen Institute for Islamic Research and an Adjunct Professor of Islamic Studies at Southern Methodist University.

One of the most influential Muslim figures in America, he is known for his Ramadan series, civil rights activism, and prolific scholarship bridging tradition and contemporary life.
