One day, everything we chase of wealth, power, or status, will lose its shine. The world will expose what we once thought was worth fighting over, and every argument, betrayal, and war will come down to one question: Was it really worth it? This khutbah is a reflection on how greed and ego blinds us from doing the right thing. From broken homes to global injustice, the pattern is the same: we destroy what’s priceless for what’s temporary.

From the Rapture to the Antichrist, religious texts often outline visions of the future. The Qur’an, too, speaks of what’s to come. But Allah ﷻ emphasizes the past—on the stories, lessons, and warnings from history—so that we’re prepared for what lies ahead. Is the past more important than predicting outcomes of the future? Dr. Omar Suleiman answers these questions and more in this khutbah.

We've witnessed calls for a ceasefire before, only to be met with broken promises. While we hope the war is over, in moments like these, we’re reminded that true victory begins not with celebration, but with remembrance.

The flotilla heading toward Gaza is more than a group of ships; it's a united act of resistance with a single goal in mind: end the blockade on Gaza. Ultimately, Allah (swt) decides when justice will come, but we must always keep in mind that change doesn’t come from a single act, it comes from many people moving together with purpose.

Not every believer is loud or visible, but many of the most beloved to Allah are the ones you barely notice. The Prophet ﷺ praised the quiet, modest Muslim whose duʿāʾ is accepted, whose service is sincere, and who lives humbly without seeking attention. #BecauseOfMarwan honors a leader who is the heart of the Dallas Muslim community and being unjustly held and persecuted.

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.

Mahmoud. Leqaa. Dr. Khan Suri. They imprisoned their bodies, but not their minds. True activism is rooted in fearlessness, as Dr. Omar Suleiman highlights in this powerful message on standing up to those complacent and complicit with oppression.

Islam values emotional well-being and encourages us to care for our mental health, but faith is not meant to be reduced to a tool for self-soothing alone. Allah says, “Do not grieve or despair,” yet He also reminds us that this life is a test, one that involves hardship as much as it does ease.

Are your goals too small? You might be selling yourself short without even realizing it. If your aspirations are too small, you risk falling into sin, settling for mediocrity, and never reaching the life (or akhirah) you’re truly capable of.

He contrasts this with the painful reality of Muslims who have let their brothers and sisters in Gaza down, not through direct harm, but through silence and inaction when they were most needed.

How can we hold onto the Qur’an, like the 12-year-old girl in Gaza, paralyzed and unable to move, who still lets the words of Allah guide her in her toughest moments? Dr. Omar Suleiman delivers a powerful message on anchoring our hearts to the Qur’an, even as hope begins to fade.

In this Focal Point episode, Imam Tom Facchine explores the rise of Muslim representation in media, politics, and pop culture, and why it might be more harmful than helpful.
