From his moments of opposing the Prophet ﷺ in practically every battle of Islam, and his seeking to remove the one place of refuge for the Muslims in Abyssinia, Amr (ra) doesn’t just turn a corner and embrace Islam, but he spreads it to Egypt and many places of the world including Gaza which weighs so heavily on us today.
When you pray at home, angels the size of mountains pray behind you. How can we best reap the rewards of such a gathering?

"If only things had been different..."
"What if I had done something else..."
The phrases "what if" and "if only" are often used for regret or to dream of a seemingly better reality...but if you adopt a more fruitful perspective, you can use the phrases to see what you were saved from instead. Regret can be inescapable, but when we wonder "what if" that regret has the potential to turn into something worse. Why does "what if" open the doors to Shaytan, and what are positive ways to use "if only"?

Ka’b ibn Zuhayr (ra): The Story of the First Burda | The Firsts | Sahaba Stories | Dr. Omar Suleiman
Prior to his conversion, Ka’b ibn Zuhayr (ra) is responsible for the latest diss tracks coming out about Islam. He’s insulting the Prophet ﷺ, the Muslims, and making implications about Muslim women. But as the Prophet ﷺ’s power grows, the world is closing in on the poet. Where will he go?

Why do seemingly undeserving people always get everything good in life? Why does everything seem to come harder for you, even though you've worked so hard? And why do other people take credit for your hard work, while you are left in the dust?
Sometimes, what you see as someone else being unfairly favored might actually be qadar at work in your favor. So beware of envy and defeat overtaking you, and make an effort to recognize the wisdoms in your life. Because when it comes to Allah's decree, it's not the most materially blessed or loudest mouth that gets far ahead, but the most grateful and perceptive heart.

As we venture into the space of producing higher quality media, we’ve worked hard to make sure that our compliance with our religious ethics is not sacrificed. While Yaqeen has always produced vocals for our Ramadan series, this series was unique in that it also included the story of a family in the background. Our talented production team worked with our scholars to ensure that all actors were in proper hijab, and that all gender interactions were only by Mahrams in real life. We’re grateful to the team for its wonderful effort, and grateful to the families that agreed to participate.

Allah (swt) says, “Indeed, those who have the best claim to Ibrahim are his followers, this Prophet [ﷺ] and the believers. And Allah is the Guardian of those who believe.” Muslims believe in the Prophet ﷺ’s message as a continuation of a long Prophetic tradition, and connect to the Prophets as our own. Dr. Omar Suleiman explains what this means for our confidence when speaking about them, the closeness we feel to them, and our efforts to emulate their qualities.

Dr. Omar Suleiman describes the history of modern-day Palestine, starting with the Nakba (Arabic word for "Catastrophe") that began with the murder of 15,000 and the expulsion of over 750,000 from their homeland on May 15th, 1948. Displaced Palestinians have since kept the keys to those homes they were expelled from, confident that they will return.

The Prophet ﷺ’s Bodyguard: Mughira ibn Shu‘ba (ra) | The Firsts | Sahaba Stories | Dr. Omar Suleiman
He came to Islam after a severely checkered past, but never let his flaws stop him from assuming his place in the presence of the Prophet ﷺ. He used his strength and sense of movement to monitor the Prophet’s every move, and came back to Ta’if with the command to destroy their idol.
This episode of The Firsts is part of the “Muslim of Ta’if” series.
