Omar Suleiman - Where Is Allah When The Ummah Hurts?

About this lecture

In this powerful lecture, Sheikh Omar Suleiman addresses the question "Where is Allah when the Ummah hurts?" — a question raised not by the people of Gaza themselves, but by those watching their suffering from afar. Drawing on historical episodes from the Year of the Elephant to the Qarmatian massacre of Hajj pilgrims in 930 CE, and grounding his answer in Quranic verses and authentic Hadith, Sheikh Omar demonstrates that Allah's presence is most powerfully felt by those closest to Him, and that His divine plan — though sometimes hidden to onlookers — always unfolds with perfect justice. The lecture is both a theological reassurance and a call to action, reminding viewers that the people of Gaza are not asking where Allah is — they are asking where the Ummah is.
