Shaytan never told Adam and Hawwa (as) to disobey Allah. He told them the forbidden tree was something else: shajarat al-khuld, the tree of eternal life. A good tree.

The command never changed. Only the name did. The Prophet ﷺ warned that this technique would come back at the end of time as one of the signs of the Hour, and it's stranger than it first sounds. It isn't about a generation that stops believing in halal and haram. It's about a generation that keeps both categories perfectly intact and quietly moves things between them. People from this ummah will drink khamr, he ﷺ said, and call it by another name.

Imam al-Ghazali (rh) mapped the same move through the diseases of the heart centuries before anyone said the word “rebrand”. Greed is renamed as ambition. Arrogance has been renamed to confidence. Cutting off your family answers to protecting your peace.

Dajjal is the end of this road, not the beginning of it. He'll rebrand Jannah as the Fire and kufr as imaan. A world that's spent generations learning to accept renamed evil is already rehearsed for him.

Name every major sin you can think of, then ask which ones already answer to something softer. That's the exercise Dr. Omar Suleiman puts to the room, and it's worth doing before you press play.

Our attention has become one of the world's most valuable commodities—and we're paying for it in ways we rarely notice.

In this Focal Point, Imam Tom Facchine explores how the attention economy grew from a simple business model into an industry built to capture our focus, shape our habits, and keep us distracted. More importantly, he asks what all of this means for Muslims trying to live with presence, purpose, and khushoo'.

This episode looks beyond social media addiction to the deeper spiritual consequences of living in an age of constant distraction.

Renad Attalah inspired hope with her cooking videos set in war-torn Gaza. Now, she has sought safety in the Netherlands while her mother remains behind. 

Join Dr. Omar Suleiman to hear from Renad and her mother, Um Firas, learn about what life is like in Gaza as the world moves on, and hear the stories of a mother and daughter separated by a needlessly cruel conflict.

A time will come, the Prophet ﷺ said, when people gather in the masjid and there isn't a single believer among them.

Dr. Omar Suleiman unpacks that warning alongside several others: mosques built to compete rather than to function, mushafs that grow more beautiful while fewer people actually read them, and a Companion who wept after watching someone recite the Qur'an for payment. 

This episode of Signs of the Hour asks a harder question than whether our masjid is beautiful enough. It asks whether there's still a living faith inside it.

We live in a culture where every slight can become a microaggression, every disagreement can feel like an attack, and “protect your peace” can sometimes mean cutting people out the moment they make us uncomfortable.

But what happens when we lose the ability to overlook?

The Prophet ﷺ described the believer as samhaa—someone who is gracious, easygoing, and willing to let things go. This doesn’t mean tolerating abuse, ignoring oppression, or refusing to set necessary boundaries. It means learning to distinguish between genuine harm and the ordinary friction of living with imperfect people.

In this khutbah, Dr. Omar Suleiman explores what Islam teaches us about sensitivity, boundaries, forgiveness, and the forgotten strength of overlooking—and asks us to consider whether we’ve made ourselves too quick to take offense, cut people off, and slow to forgive.
