Sheikh Omar Suleiman Lecture

In light of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak, Sh.

He highlights lessons we can learn from that time period and offers some spiritual gems that are relevant to us today.

Sh. Omar Suleiman is the Founder of Yaqeen Institute (https://yaqeeninstitute.org), a nonprofit research institute that works to provide free and accessible content as a resource to those who seek it. They aim to address relevant topics head-on with the help of the foremost experts in this space.  They actively participate in the current day discourse touching on all topics that are related to establishing conviction in the hearts and minds of Muslims, and battling the false notions that underlie Islamophobia and extremism.
