Was Dajjal Alive During Prophet’s ﷺ Time? | Signs of the Hour Ep. 3 | Dr. Omar Suleiman

In Islam, a good ending is not because of chance. Rather, it is pursued with intention and striving. While "luck" may seem to decide the final moment of a game, our lives operate on an entirely different principle. Allah has given us the means to shape how we live and how we leave this world. This khutbah explores what it means to strive for a good ending and why that pursuit is one of the most important of our lives.

You’ve been Muslim your whole life and yet you still feel like a stranger to your religion. You’re not alone, and you’re not the first.In this khutbah, Dr. Omar Suleiman addresses one of the most common and least talked about struggles in the Muslim community. The feeling that your faith has always been there, but never truly felt like yours. Du’a mentioned by Dr. Omar Suleiman: اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ الثَّبَاتَ فِي الأَمْرِ وَالْعَزِيمَةِ عَلَى الرُّشْدِAllahumma inni as’aluka ath-thabata fi al-amr, wa al-azimata ‘ala ar-rushd.O Allah, I ask You for steadfastness in all matters, and for determination upon right guidance.

What can a single ant teach us about how to live? In Surah an-Naml, the Quran captures an exchange between Prophet Sulayman (peace be upon him) and an ant warning its colony of approaching danger, a moment Allah chose to preserve for all generations.Sh. Mohammad Elshinawy shares lessons from the surah on mercy that extends beyond those who look like us, the responsibility to contribute rather than curse the times we live in, and the wisdom of pairing advice with explanation rather than authority. It closes with the ant's most remarkable line and what that teaches us about thinking well of others.Uncover the wisdom of the ants in this khutbah.

From the events of 9/11 to San Diego: this past Monday, three Muslim men stood between two armed gunmen and the lives of 140 children.Sh. Mohammad Elshinawy delivers this khutbah the Friday after. He reflects on the brevity of life, the honor of these three men, and the Islamophobia that has been building since 9/11. He calls on the Muslim communities in America to respond not just with grief, but with the kind of strategic, long-term resolve that actually changes things.

 First all the Prophets (as) go. Then the Companions (ra). Then slowly, the righteous and good-hearted people start to dwindle until only corrupt people are left. These are signs of The Hour. Yet even after the Prophet ﷺ passed, something of his legacy endures in our world today. What remains of Prophethood? Find out in Episode 5 of Signs of the Hour. 

There is no one who is not worth saving. Look at the incredible journey of a Companion who went from hurting Muslims to becoming one of the most influential figures in Islamic history. This powerful story is a reminder that Allah can turn over any heart and guide whomever He wills. Before we are quick to "cancel" others, we must remember the boundless mercy and transformative power of faith. Learn why writing people off as “lost causes” is dangerous.

How can you protect yourself from the Dajjal, and the era of dajalah (deception) that comes before him? The Prophet ﷺ gave us guidance for our protection from these trials, including multiple du’as and 20 verses from Surah al-Kahf — and he taught us to make sure that we don’t become agents of deception today.  

 In the heart of Medina, a young boy named Ibn Sayyad began exhibiting behaviors that defied explanation. He claimed to see visions of a throne over the water and possessed knowledge he shouldn't have known. The rumors spread like wildfire: could this be the Dajjal, the False Messiah?Even the Prophet ﷺ took notice, leading to a series of confrontations that left the Sahabah in awe and confusion. But the mystery didn't end there. After later claiming to embrace Islam, Ibn Sayyad made a final, cryptic statement that changed everything.
