“If Allah (swt) helps you, none can defeat you. But if He denies you help, then who else can help you? So in Allah (swt) let the believers put their trust.” (Quran 3:160) 🤍

LECTURE SUMMARY AND NOTES The Prophet's Companions and Youth The Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) referred to Abu Bakr and Omar as "my hearing and my seeing" and they were his closest companions, with Abu Bakr being 2 years older than the Prophet and Omar being 13 years younger than the Prophet 00:42. Omar was in his 20s when he embraced Islam and had a lot of energy and zeal, which was appreciated by the Prophet but also needed refinement 03:45. The Prophet reassured Omar that his energy and zeal were good, but also guided him to refine them, showing that there is room for young people to lead and make a positive impact 06:14. The story of Ali, who was 8 or 9 years old when he stood in front of the Prophet and said he would support him, shows that young people can make a difference and that the Prophet valued their contributions 08:52. The Prophet's heart was full of joy and appreciation when Ali stood up to support him, and this shows that young people can play an important role in making a positive impact 09:52. The 10 people promised Paradise were all from Mecca, and most of them were young when they converted to Islam, with ages ranging from 8 to 25 or 26 years old 12:00. The ages of the Prophet's companions and family members when they converted to Islam or performed significant actions include: Abdullah, 14 years old; Abu Bakr, 25 or 26 years old; Umar, 26 years old; and Ali, 11 years old 13:45. Aisha's Role and the Prophet's Engagement with Youth The Prophet Muhammad's wife, Aisha, was young when she married him, and her youth played a significant role in preserving the religion through her curiosity, inquisitiveness, and ability to derive jurist prudence 15:57. The Prophet Muhammad spent time with the youth in Medina, dividing his time between the house of the chief of the tribe and the house of the singles, where all the youth were staying, practicing what he preached and building with the young people 19:55. The Prophet Muhammad believed in the youth, as evident from his interactions with them, and his Dua was for the youth, showing his trust and confidence in them 20:32. The young men of Medina, mostly teenagers, played a crucial role in welcoming the Prophet Muhammad and supporting his mission, proving themselves capable despite their youth 22:18. The Ansar, a group of young people, were willing to sacrifice and detach from the old idolatrous ways of their parents and society, which allowed them to be more open to new possibilities and less tainted by sinful ways 23:07. The Nature and Guidance of Youth The youth are often more open to new possibilities because they are less rigid and their identities have not been fully formed, but this also makes them more prone to mistakes 30:22. The Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) emphasized the importance of showing mercy to the youth and honoring the elders, and that making mistakes is not disqualifying, but rather it is how one learns from those mistakes 31:31. The Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) was careful in correcting the youth, as they should be corrected but with a gentle approach, and that being cruel or overly critical can be crushing and may lead them to give up 33:29. When correcting others, especially the youth, it's essential to build them up and provide constructive feedback, as seen in the Prophet's response to Abdullah's dream, rather than crushing their spirits with harsh words 36:00. The Prophet emphasized the importance of mercy and good intentions when correcting others, particularly the youth, who are prone to making mistakes and need guidance 40:02. Honoring Elders Honoring and respecting elders is crucial, and the Prophet taught that they should be treated with dignity and respect, like a crown on their head, rather than being dismissed or degraded 40:54. Potential and Pitfalls Every good quality has the potential to become a bad quality, and vice versa, as seen in the example of Abu Jahal, who could have turned his leadership into good if he had changed his ways 43:42. Individuals, communities, and generations must be aware that their greatest potential can become their most devastating pitfall if not managed correctly 44:25. Young people have the potential to make a significant impact, but they must be aware of the pitfalls of recklessness and ensure their actions are guided by accountability to Allah, the Prophet Muhammad, and their elders 44:33. Courage is not the same as recklessness, and the Prophet Muhammad called for calculated courage that does not violate the boundaries of Allah 45:03. Honoring Elders and Inspiring Youth The community should honor its elders and inspire its youth, and the youth should respect their elders and work together with them to enjoy good and forbid evil 45:57. The breakdown of family values can lead to a community where children do not respect their parents or elders, and this can have negative consequences 47:01. The youth should maintain their motivation and resilience in the face of challenges by looking to the examples of their elders and recognizing that they are the fruit of their efforts 53:08. Young people are more prone to despair because they have not seen the changing of circumstances, but they should look to the examples of their elders who have persisted in the face of challenges 54:00. We can learn from the resilience of our elders, who kept committed to their causes despite challenges, and we should not succumb to despair even when faced with difficulties 55:37. Bridging the Generation Gap The generation gap can be bridged by being merciful to the youth and honoring the elders, as stated in the Hadith of the Prophet Salli wasallam, and by recognizing the value of what each person brings regardless of age 59:17. Women's Leadership and Social Action A woman can be a leader in society or a prominent figure, and if she has the potential to play a positive role, she should pursue it, as the idea of permanent positions in Islam is not absolute, and honoring someone's legacy is not limited to their position or title 01:02:21. To address issues like the case of Dr. Aafia Siddiqui, people need to unite and find the courage to raise awareness and take action, and efforts to free her are global and need people to join in 01:04:26. Fanaticism, Trials, and Communication Fanaticism and tribalism can prevent Islam from entering one's heart, and it's essential to resist these feelings to truly experience the sweetness of faith 01:06:16. Allah tests people in different ways, and it's crucial to recognize that prosperity and tragedy can visit different people at various times 01:07:25. To communicate effectively with others, especially elders, use respectful phrases, remove ego, and show vulnerability, as demonstrated by Ibrahim's approach to his father 01:12:31. When discussing with others, prioritize humility, and if the approach doesn't work, try alternative methods and make Dua for the person, as Ibrahim did for his father 01:15:25. Closing Remarks and Dua A representative from Asal University thanks Dr. Omar Suleiman and expresses gratitude for hosting the first Yaken program, hoping it will expand in Turkey. 01:16:15 A request is made for Dr. Omar Suleiman to close the program with a short Dua. 01:16:36 A Dua is made, asking Allah to give victory to the oppressed, free them, and allow the believers to be amongst those who liberate and pray in a liberated land. 01:17:37

Alhamdulillah that I'm blessed with the technology & means to listen to Sheikh Omar Suleiman's khutbahs & lectures wherever he presents them. I'm most grateful that I had the plasticity of heart & mind to embrace Islam in 2024 at age 69 as a result of Gaza. May Allah (swt) grant the youth & elders in our ummah patience, soft hearts & wisdom & bless us when communicating with each other. May the youth always channel knowledge via the heart & not straight from the brain. Ameen.🤲

Once, a young fellow wanted a change in his life. Through some source, he heard of a learned wise old man and wanted to join him. After an arduous journey of several day when tho young man approached the wise man he uttered that, just to be in your company and to learn from you, I have endured many hardships. The learned person replied, dear son instead of traveling such a distance if you would have taken just couple steps away from your own-self, you would have reached your goal. What we look for outside is within ourselves.

The comment criticizing how women present themselves and claim it distracts the audience are nothing more than a diversion from the real issue. If you choose to be distracted, you’ll always find something to focus on. However, if your purpose is to genuinely learn about Islam and improve yourself, then petty distractions shouldn’t even register. The focus should be on the substance, not the surface. It’s essential to remember that these women are in Hijab, adhering to Islamic principles. There is no violation of Islamic ethics in their presentation. Moreover, involving women in such videos serves an important purpose. It challenges the widespread misconception that Islam has been entirely eradicated from places like Türkiye, a country often misrepresented as fully secular. This video is a clear testament to the fact that women, practicing Islam with devotion, are still actively preaching and living according to Islamic values. It proves that Islam is alive and well, despite efforts to depict otherwise. Instead of nitpicking irrelevant details, we should learn to appreciate the larger picture. Focus on the positives, not the trivial criticisms. The message is far more important than the distractions people choose to create.

Why to showcase women attending the lectures?? For God's sake it distracts, fear Allah!

[@ToyBodbijl-nt4hv]

The sisters do not distract. It is your undisciplined mind that is distracting you. Take responsibility for your mind & let the sisters be.

[@aliashfaaq6738]

@@ToyBodbijl-nt4hv you're absolutely right, we weren't always religious like you. We have enough fitnah around us. I am just asking the author of this channel not to test those with weak eman, not at least when we are trying to watch an islamic lecture.

[@ToyBodbijl-nt4hv]

@@aliashfaaq6738 The author is not testing you, brother. It is Allah (swt) who tests you. The matter is not between you & the author. It is between you & the Almighty. Sisters are equal to brothers & should be seen & heard. Brothers need to accept this & learn to control their minds, instead of hiding sisters. They should ask Allah (swt) for help instead of blaming others for their own weakness.
