About this lecture

In this episode of Signs of the Hour, Sheikh Omar Suleiman examines one of the most subtle yet dangerous signs of the End Times: the systematic rebranding of sin. Drawing on Quranic verses, prophetic hadith, and the warnings of the Salaf, he traces how spiritual diseases are dressed up as virtues — from greed rebranded as ambition to zina rebranded as sexual freedom — and how this mirrors the original deception of Shaytan and foreshadows the ultimate deception of Dajjal. The lecture closes with a powerful reminder that naming evil as evil, whether in our personal lives or in the face of global oppression such as in Gaza, is itself an act of worship.

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.
