Should we believe everything we hear and read? How do we verify what is true and not?

Sh. Omar Suleiman reflects on the teaching methods of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ particularly with difficult topics or circumstances.

We are the best of nations, but are we living up to it? Are we the best worker at our jobs? The best neighbors in our neighborhoods? The best students? The best people? We can’t be ordinary. We must be extraordinary!

What does Allah say about keeping promises? What happens to the one who keeps their promise? What about the one who breaks it?

Shaykh Kamal El Mekki delivers a khutbah on lying. He discusses why people lie, and how to overcome lying. He also discusses how we teach our children to lie and how to prevent this.

How are we with our neighbors, our friends and even our family? Do we speak honestly with them with our tongue and with our actions? Are we just and fair?

A Lecture on Steadfastness for Truth
The saying goes “Life is full of hurdles,” and the truth of the matter is that being a Muslim has never been easy. For the one who has no faith, this saying may provide a pessimistic view of the world. But for the believer, it is no foreign concept. Challenging situations have been foretold to test belief in the certainty of the truth. In light of this, the speaker gives an exemplary figure, the Great Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal, who persevered through physical persecution ensuring the truth remained upheld when challenged by the ruler of his time.
