Omar Suleiman

This episode discusses a du'a that Ibrahim ibn Adham made upon bearing witness to Allah swt’s power, and how it may help us to frame difficult situations in more positive light. [ Day 10 Du'a ] أَرَيْتَنَا قُدْرَتَكَ فَأَرِنَا عَفْوَكَ “You have shown us Your power, so show us Your forgiveness.”

In today’s episode, Sh. Omar Suleiman talks about the supplication of Abdulrahman ibn ‘Auf, one of the richest men at the time of the Prophet ﷺ, and how to refrain from the temptations of greed ourselves. [ Day 9 Du'a ] اللَّهُمَّ قِنِي شُحَّ نَفْسِي “O Allah, protect me from the greed of my soul!”

Sh. Omar Suleiman identifies a du'a by Asmaa bint Abi Bakr for her son, illustrating the power of du'a from mothers and those who are oppressed. [ Day 8 Du'a ] اللَّهُمَّ ارْحَمْ طُوْلَ ذَلِكَ القِيِامَ فِي اللَّيْلِ الطَّوِيْلِ، وَذَلِكَ النَّحِيْبُ وَالظَّمَأُ فِي هَوَاجِرِ المَدِيْنَةِ وَمَكَّةَ، وَبِرَّهُ بِأَبِيْهِ وِبِيْ. اللَّهُمَّ قَدْ سَلَّمْتُهُ لِأَمْرِكَ فِيْهِ، وَرَضِيْتُ بِمَا قَضَيْ...

Today’s episode covers the du'a of Hudhaifa ibn al-Yaman, whose love of Allah swt inspires us to love Him and ask Him for his love. [ Day 7 Du'a] اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوْذُ بِكَ مِنْ صَبَاحِ النَّارِ وَمِنْ مَسَائِهَا ، وَلمَّا نَزَلَ بِهِ المَوْتُ قَالَ: هَذِهِ آخِرُ سَاعَةٍ مِنْ الدُّنْيَا، اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّكَ تَعْلَمُ أَنِّيْ أُحِبُّكَ فَبَارِكْ لِيْ فِي لِقَائِكَ “O Allah, I seek shelter with Y...

Today’s episode is about the sincere du'a of Abdullah ibn Mas’oud, on the beautiful occasion when the Prophet ﷺ listened to his prayers to be among his companions. [ Day 6 Du'a ] اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّيْ أَسْأَلُكَ إِيْمَانًا لا يَرْتَدُّ ، وَنِعِيْمًا لا يَنْفَدُ ، وَمُرَافَقَةَ نَبِيِّكَ مُحَمَّدٍ ـ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ـ فِي أَعْلَى جَنَّةِ الخُلْدِ “O Allah, I ask You for faith that does...

A du’a can make even the most unlikely circumstances occur, such as in the case of Umar and his martyrdom. [ Du'a Day 5 ] اللهُمَّ ارْزٌقْنِيْ شَهَادَةً فِيْ سَبِيْلِكَ وَاجْعَلْ مَوْتِيْ فِيْ بَلَدِ رَسُوْلِكَ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ اللَّهُمَّ لا تَجْعَلْ قَتْلِيْ عَلَى يَدِ عَبْدٍ سَجَدَ لَكَ سَجْدَةً يَحَاجُّنِيْ بِهَا يَوْمَ القِيَامَةِ “O Allah I ask you to be accepted as a martyr in...

In this episode, we observe the du’a of a complicated character, Abdul Malik ibn Marwan, and how we can improve the quality of our du’as when asking for forgiveness from Allah swt. [ Day 4 Du'a ] يَا رَبِّ إِنَّ ذُنُوْبِي عَظِيْمَةٌ ، وَإِنَّ قَلِيْلَ عَفْوِكَ أَعْظَمُ مِنْهَا ، اللَّهُمَّ فَامْحِ بِقَلِيْلِ عَفْوِكَ عَظِيْمَ ذُنُوْبِي “My Lord, my sins are enormous, but a little of Your forgivene...

Sh. Omar Suleiman discusses the power of making covenants with Allah swt through the prayer of Abdullah ibn Mas’oud, and the sincerity covenants can bring to your own du'a. [ Day 3 Du'a ] اللهُمَّ فَاطِرَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأَرْضَ ، عَالمَ الغَيْبِ وَالشَّهَادَةِ ، إِنِّي أَعْهَدُ إَلَيْكَ فِي هَذِهِ الحَيَاةِ الدُنْيَا : إِنَّكَ إِنْ تَكِلْنِي إِلَى نَفْسِيْ تُقَرِّبُنِي مِنْ الشَّرِّ ، وَتُبَاعِد...
