About this lecture

In this episode of the Signs of the Hour series, Dr. Omar Suleiman covers the prophesied conquests (*futuhaat*) of Islam before the Day of Judgment, tracing the Prophet ﷺ's predictions about the fall of the Persian and Byzantine empires, the liberation of Jerusalem, the spread of Islam to Egypt, Yemen, Cyprus, and India, and the eventual conquest of Constantinople by Sultan Muhammad Al-Fatih. He draws out the profound lesson that Islam's spread was always tied to moral excellence and justice — not mere military expansion — and connects these fulfilled prophecies to an unshakeable confidence in Allah's promises for the ummah today.

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. Born in New Orleans to Palestinian parents, he began traditional Islamic study in 2000, spending years learning in the UAE, Jordan, and Malaysia, and completed a PhD in Islamic Thought and Civilization from the International Islamic University of Malaysia. He served as Imam of the Jefferson Muslim Association in New Orleans, where he led interfaith rebuilding efforts after Hurricane Katrina, and is now resident scholar of the Valley Ranch Islamic Center in Irving, Texas, and Co-Chair Emeritus of Faith Forward Dallas. 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.
