Only Allah Knows What You Went Through | Khutbah by Dr. Omar Suleiman
Virtues of Dhul Hijjah
Its blessings are little known relative to Ramadan, but in many ways it’s even more full of opportunities to benefit and achieve a full roster of deeds through increased dhikr, charity, prayer, and good works. According to the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, the first 10 days of this month are a special time for devotion. During these days, preparations are underway for those who are undertaking the pilgrimage. For those who are not traveling for the pilgrimage, this is a special time to remember God and spend extra time in devotion and good deeds. The significance of the first 10 days of Dhul Hijjah is the opportunity to sincerely repent, get closer to God, and combine acts of worship in a way that is impossible at any other time of the year. This year, join us daily to learn more about the virtues of Dhul Hijjah and discover a game plan to make the most of these precious days from home.
Islamic Ethics
This series provides a Quran-inspired, traditionally-grounded, philosophically alert, and highly readable account of Islamic ethics or akhlaq. By systematically elaborating a paradigm of Prophetic Ethics, centered on the role model of the Prophet, upon him be peace, we examine various problems contemporary Muslims face at both the theoretical and meta-ethical level and break that down by exploring it’s connection to practical morals, manners, and virtues. Through our discussion of how Islamic ethics harmonized the requirements of law with the imperatives of love, the eternal truth of divine commands with the merciful sensitivity to human diversity and context, this series will empower the reader to think about, internalize, and reenact the teachings of that beautiful model, that "Mercy to all the worlds," in their own lives.

Welcome to Qur’an Convos: Tadabbur, a new podcast where we explore the many ways you can connect with the Qur’an. The Qur’an cannot be understood by skimming a page or half-listening to a recitation. It opens itself to understanding only when we reflect deeply on its verses, themes, and meanings. This season, we'll explore how to engage in the many aspects of reflection, from fighting distractions to finding echoes of ourselves within the stories of the Qur’an.
