Podcasts about Yaqeen

Yaqeen means belief, an unshaken trust, a light that holds steady even in the darkest hour. It is the quiet strength behind every decision, the invisible thread that pulls us forward when everything else falters. Yaqeen doesn't always roar; sometimes, it's a whisper that refuses to fade. In poetry, it becomes a force, of faith, of love, of conviction, that anchors the soul in a world of doubt. In this episode of Urdunama, we explore the depth of yaqeen through verses that speak of courage, clarity, and quiet confidence. Join us as we trace how poets have held on to belief, not as blind certainty, but as a powerful act of hope. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

We often associate Ramadan with seeking closeness to God, which is its aim. A believer abstains from food and drink in the daylight hours to commit themselves to Allah. We draw closer to him through worships and good deeds and this is a month of charity. Muslims give more in this month than any other time in the year, hoping that our sincerity reaches Allah and in the process he overlooks our failings.But in many ways Ramadan stands as a denunciation of capitalism, the insatiable wants, greed, selfishness and gluttony. It teaches us to focus on what is important – family, ummah, justice and of course our own salvation. This is the argument of Imam Tom Facchine, who joins us today.

Rehmat e Ilahi Par Yaqeen Islami Tarbiyati Course 2025 Episode 02 Ramzan Special Program Muhammad Ajmal Raza Qadri

Donate to the critical aid campaign at http://btml.us/thinkingmuslimIslam is about justice and Gaza has mobilised the community to confront the settler colonial enterprise. On this journey we have met many non-Muslims who share our sense of mission and have embraced this collaboration to carve out a better world. I have experienced as a result of these past 15 months that we have a huge following amongst such principled people, trying to understand what motivates the people of Gaza and our faith. Today I would like to put some of the common questions I have received and that intelligent people ask about Islam to Imam Tom Facchine. Imam Tom Facchine is research director at Yaqeen institution. For the past 16 months, we all know how difficult it has been for food and essential supplies to reach the beleaguered people of Gaza. This, Insha'Allah, is changing. We have partnered with a charity, Baitulmaal, because now, more than ever, there is a need not only in Gaza but also in Turkish controlled Northern Syria and in all the places we routinely talk about in this program where our ummah is subject to abject poverty. We have chosen this charity because Baitulmaal is a non-profit with people on the ground who organize well-thought-out projects and serve the most needy.To donate to their Critical Aid campaign, please visit the link on our screen now and in the description.

_How do we, as Muslims, truly honour Isa (AS) and understand his prophesied return?_Next week, we'll conclude this year's Faith Circle with a *special end-of-year session:**The Return of Jesus (Isa AS): From Damascus to Al-Aqsa*With recent events of the tyrant falling in Damascus, we are reminded of Isa (AS)'s descent. As the world observes Christmas, we reflect on how we, as Muslims, truly honour Jesus (AS)—not just as a prophet but as the Messiah in the final chapter of humanity. His return empowers us with hope and Yaqeen, symbolizing the ultimate triumph of truth and justice, the unity of believers, and the fulfillment of Allah's perfect plan.✨ *What We'll Cover*:

It is impossible not to feel overwhelmed by the ongoing war in Gaza - the death toll, the horrific footage, the world's inability to bring it to an end.That is compounded for Palestinians, many with family members directly impacted, who feel they've always been seen through a racist and islamophobic lens, and that speaking out is a political act with consequences.So how do Palestinians and Muslims navigate their feelings of anger with their faith?This week on The Big Picture, we sit down with Palestinian-American scholar and activist Dr Omar Suleiman, the founder of the Yaqeen Institute in Texas.Dr Suleiman built a reputation as a religious voice who resonates with the growing Muslim diaspora searching for leaders, and as a millennial often on the frontlines of social issues and protest movements in the US.He speaks to us about his own anger, his commitment to challenging his government and why this is a turning point for how he sees himself as an American.We'd love to hear your thoughts on this episode, and any guests you'd like us to have on our show.

Welcome to With Love, Iman. Where we explore the depths of faith, knowledge, and self-discovery. In today's episode, we delve into the concept of "yaqeen," an Arabic term often translated as "certainty" or "conviction." We all need to understand the concept and importance of Yaqeen. A lot of us give no significance to Yaqeen, but there is nothing more comforting than the certainty that Allah (SWT) is in control of everything. This episode aims to explain the importance of Yaqeen.

[Due to technical difficulties, today's podcast will be an audio one.] Today, with Ustaz Sameer, we explore the essence of God and the crucial role of Yaqeen (certainty) in the Islamic faith. Delving into the series, we unravel the importance of unwavering certainty, examining its transformative impact on daily life. Discover how understanding Allah profoundly shapes our self-awareness and enhances our worship. Join us on a journey to strengthen our connection with Allah and enrich our faith.

Yaqeen Institute Historian, Hassam Munir, breaks down the life that had to exist to produce Salahuddin Al-Ayyubi and the people, institutions, and culture that was thought out by mastermind scholars like Al ghazali in hopes of his arrival. Here's how their plan worked.

Sheikh Uthman Ibn Farooq was a cartel gang member? Are we addressing LGBTQ+ correctly? Do we believe in The Theory of Evolution as Muslims? Should we Listen to Yaqeen/Dr. Omar Suleiman? All this is revealed on this podcast with Sheikh Uthman Ibn Farooq and Ansari. Sheikh Uthman Ibn Farooq tells his past as a cartel gang member and the lifestyle he lived before Islam. Ansari then debates Sheikh Uthman Ibn Farooq on his stance on Yaqeen/Omar Suleiman, the Theory of Evolution and the LGBTQ+ community. Ansari presses Sheikh Uthman Ibn Farooq on Yaqeen being an amazing muslim organization that has helped guide so many people. While Sheikh Uthman Ibn Farooq has advised people against listening to Yaqeen or Dr. Omar Suleiman. Ansari personally believes in the theory of evolution, but not that humans came from chimps, what does Sheikh Uthman Ibn Farooq think of that? And finally are we addressing the LGBTQ community correctly? Sheikh Uthman Ibn Farooq & Ansari give their thoughts!

On February 6th, a devastating earthquake hit Türkiye and Syria. Over 12,000 lives have been lost, and thousands more have been injured and displaced. When tragedies and disasters occur, it's understandable to wonder, “Why did God let this happen?” Are natural disasters a form of punishment from God? Are they a warning to turn back to Him? If Allah is Merciful, why does He allow suffering to exist? Join host Mohamad Zaoud as he discusses these questions and more with Sh. Mohammad Elshinawy, author of the Yaqeen paper, “Why Do People Suffer? God's Existence & the Problem of Evil.”

They're foundational to how we understand and practice our religion. But if the Qur'an is complete and perfect, why do we even need the Hadith? What is the method that scholars use to determine if the Prophet (S) really said something? How can we be certain that we are understanding and applying the Prophet's (S) narrations correctly?In this episode, host Mohamad Zaoud talks to Dr. Jonathan Brown, the Director of History and Islamic Thought at Yaqeen.

When Facebook changed its company name to Meta, it doubled down on its commitment to the future of the internet: the so-called “metaverse.” But with tech companies laying off thousands of employees and billions of dollars being wiped out in the cryptocurrency bubble collapse, the future is still unclear, and preparing for it seems as confusing as ever. What is Web3, and what will it change about how we use the internet? As Muslims, how should we assess the risks and opportunities offered by this new frontier? How can we utilize the latest technologies as a means of better serving Islam, Muslims, and the world at large?In this episode, host Mohamad Zaoud talks to Sh. Mustafa Umar, a fellow at Yaqeen and the Religious Director at the Islamic Center of Irvine.

When people choose to follow a religion, they are often looking for feelings of peace, contentment, and connection to a higher power. This feeling of spirituality is central to the life of a Muslim, but some may feel like it's not necessary to follow a religion in order to experience it. They might consider themselves spiritual, but not religious. Do sentiments like this help people come closer to God? Can a person be spiritual without being religious? What does an Islamic approach to spirituality look like? Mohamad Zaoud explores these questions and more with Imam Tom Facchine, a fellow at Yaqeen and the Imam of Utica Masjid in New York.

Three-in-ten American adults describe themselves as atheists, agnostics or “nothing in particular” when they are asked about their religious identity, according to a Pew Research report from December 2021. Proving God's existence is important, but it's not the end of the conversation. What distinguishes the Islamic perspective on God from other religious traditions? How certain can we be that Islam is correct? What are people missing when they choose to follow other religions? Join host Mohamad Zaoud as he discusses these questions and more with Sh. Mohammad Elshinawy, Associate Director of the Systematic Theology Department at Yaqeen.

Why do we not feel the same connection to Allah every time we recite or listen to the Qur'an? How can we improve the quality of my connection over time? What can we do to manage feelings of guilt and weakness when reading the Qur'an? In the season finale of Qur'an Convos, Sh. Suleiman Hani talks to Sh. Yasir Fahmy about reaching an elevated spiritual state when engaging with the Qur'an. Sh. Yasir is the first American Azhari to teach in the renowned Al-Azhar Mosque. He is the founder of Prophetic Living and he serves as an Advisor on Yaqeen's Editorial Review Board.

Why are some people moved to tears when they read or hear the Qur'an while others have no reaction at all? How should we feel when we hear verses about the afterlife? What should we do when we don't feel motivated to read or reflect on Allah's words? In this episode, Sh. Suleiman Hani talks to Dr. Tesneem Alkiek and Dr. Nazir Khan about feeling emotionally moved by the Qur'an. Dr. Tesneem is the Director of Expanded Learning and the Director of Content Strategy at Yaqeen. Dr. Nazir is the President of Yaqeen Canada.

How can we make the Qur'an's stories feel more relatable to our lives? What can we do to always feel like the Qur'an is speaking to us personally? If the Qur'an is meant for everyone, how can we nurture a personal relationship with it? In this episode, Sh. Suleiman Hani talks to Dr. Jinan Yousef and Dr. Osman Umarji about how to feel like the Qur'an is speaking to you directly. Dr. Jinan is a Senior Fellow at Yaqeen and the author of the recently published book, “Reflecting on the Names of Allah.” Dr. Osman is the Director of Survey Research and Evaluation at Yaqeen, as well as an Associate Editor for the Editorial Review Board.

What is the difference between reflecting on the Qur'an and understanding its meanings? How can a holistic approach to its meanings be maintained? How can scholarly interpretation of the Qur'an be made more accessible? In this episode, Sh. Suleiman Hani talks to Sh. Osamah Salhia and Ustadha Faatimah Knight about understanding the meanings of the Qur'an. Sh. Osamah is the Imam of the Islamic Center of Passaic County - Clifton Campus. Ustadha Faatimah is a research fellow at Yaqeen and the Community Editor for Renovatio, the Journal of Zaytuna College.

Why is reading the Qur'an different for us than reading other things? What are the distractions that can steal our attention away from Allah? What can we do to put our hearts in the right state to connect with His Words? In this episode, Sh. Suleiman Hani talks to Dr. Safaruk Chowdhury, a Research Scholar in Islamic theology and philosophy, about overcoming spiritual distractions.

We are back with a new show straight from Yaqeen's Qur'anic Studies Department! Tune in every Monday starting Sept 12th with host Sh. Suleiman Hani and guests. The Qur'an cannot be understood by skimming a page or half-listening to a recitation. It opens itself to understanding only when we reflect deeply on its verses, themes, and meanings. In this season of Qur'an Convos, we'll explore how to engage in the many aspects of reflection, from fighting distractions to finding echoes of ourselves within the stories of the Qur'an.

The importance of mental health is discussed everywhere today, from workplaces and schools to television shows and social media. In most cases, however, it has a distinctly secular approach. There is rarely any mention of the role that faith and spirituality can play in mental well-being.A recent study by Yaqeen makes the case that religiosity is not only relevant to mental health, but central to it. What are the biggest factors affecting the mental health of Muslims? How can religiosity lead to positive psychological outcomes? Can religiosity even be measured? In this episode, host Mohamad Zaoud talks to Dr. Osman Umarji and Dr. Farah Islam, co-authors of “Faith in Mind: Islam's Role in Mental Health.” Read the study here.
