About this lecture

In this powerful lecture, Sheikh Omar Suleiman draws on Quranic verses, prophetic hadith, and personal family testimony to remind Western Muslims that the people of Palestine and Gaza are their greatest teachers — people who cannot be bullied into submission nor bought into silence. He urges Muslims not to compromise their moral clarity for the sake of political strategy, to resist "Gaza fatigue" by renewing their faith and intentions daily, and to reunite as an Ummah around the unwavering truth that حَسْبُنَا اللَّهُ وَنِعْمَ الْوَكِيلُ — "Allah is sufficient for us, and He is the best of protectors."

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.
