Are All Deaths Equal? How the Prophet ﷺ Would've Responded | Khutbah by Dr. Omar Suleiman

September 12, 2025 • Dr. Omar Suleiman

Charlie Kirk's murder is a reminder that not all deaths are the same. While the media amplifies some, others, like the tens of thousands in Gaza, are minimized or completely overlooked. This can shape how we respond emotionally to different deaths.

Dr. Omar Suleiman delves into the Islamic response to death, examining how the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ responded differently depending on people who died, from the hypocrites to the honored martyrs.
