Omar Suleiman – The Search for the Sound of the Soul

About this lecture

In this lecture, Sheikh Omar Suleiman explores the profound Islamic concept of the soul (*ruh* and *nafs*), tracing it from the pre-eternal realm through our life in this world and into the hereafter. Drawing on Quranic verses, authentic hadith, and the insights of classical scholars like Ibn Taymiyyah and Ibn al-Qayyim, he explains how our fitrah — our innate God-given nature — is the key to spiritual peace, and how neglecting it allows Shaytan to gradually pull us toward destruction. The lecture offers a deeply practical and relatable call to self-accountability, consistent self-purification, and returning to what Allah has already placed within us.
