What did the Prophet do on the Day of Ashura? Dr. Omar Suleiman

Join Dr. Omar Suleiman in this profound and thought-provoking lecture on the Day of Ashura, where he explores the concept of self-oppression (dhulm) and its deep spiritual implications. In this 15-minute video, Dr. Suleiman reflects on the historical significance of Ashura—marking the victory of Prophet Musa (AS) over Fir’aun, the survival of Prophet Nuh (AS), and the martyrdom of Imam Husayn (RA)—and draws powerful lessons for our personal lives. He challenges us to confront self-oppression, urging us to purify our souls, rectify wrongs, and avoid becoming tyrants to ourselves, our families, or others.

Drawing from Qur’anic teachings and the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), Dr. Suleiman explains how dhulm (oppression) isn’t just about tyrants like Fir’aun but can manifest in our daily actions, words, and even thoughts. Learn how to recognize and overcome self-oppression, purify your soul, and align your life with justice and faith.
