Amazing! Thank you Lex! I really wish and hopeful, this is how we build bridges between Muslim, Jewish, Christians, hindus and so on. We must progress together. There is no way around it.
@@therese9142 If they are from Muslim backgrounds, I assure you (and challenge you) they are non practicing foul people, they got inspired by bad people among you. They didn't come up with this idea on their own.
The way Omar talked about his mom made this grown man shed tears 🥲 what an amazing loving bond, what an amazing son and an eloquent man. Peace be upon you brother.
Snake oil salesman. Did Lex ask him to explain about Aisha? The 6yr old girl the prophet this man follows married? Did Omar explain how all Christians would be made second class citizens if they took over? Educate yourself on Sharia law and Islamic history. He mentions the Crusades as a defense, when the Crusades was a defense by Christians against Islamic oppression. The same oppression they continue today all over the world.
As a regular white American who doesn’t know sh*t about Islam, this was by far the best introduction to Islam I could’ve possibly gotten. Thank you lex and Omar 🙏🏽🙌🏽
Don’t you find it sad that you are now only finding out- being introduced to Islam, as you put it- when your politicians and leaders in government, media and intellectual sphere have been staining it with the disgusting label of terrorism for decades and decades? Why didn’t you do your own research when every media outlet was parroting the term radical Islamic terrorism as if it was a real thing?
That's wonderful. It's like the difference between getting an introduction to Christianity from an angry Bible thumper or a true devotee of Jesus... It's all about the teacher.
As a recent revert to Islam since 2019 ( raised orthodox christian ) im speechless at how many people in today's world have a distorted image of islam. Thank you Lex, for doing this and Thank you Imam Omar for conveing the message in its purity form. God bless you all
well, if you go around blowing up innocent civilians and flying airplanes into buildings in the name of allah, what kind of image do you expect people to have of islam? are you thick or what?
@@AsifKhan-hf9zy wasn't sure if you're talking about the west blowing up 7 middle east countries? just to be clear you guys have more blood on your hands by more than 200 million lives. Oh not to mention first natives ( you cold bloded murdered 100 million of them) ww1 ww2, etc.. do I need to say more? WHO ARE YOU TO JUDGE? you are legit the criminal that's playing the victim card
In Islam we raise our mothers to the highest rank. Literally no one can surpass our mothers in terms of who we should treat best in our personal lives. There is a saying of the Prophet Muhammad peace be upon Him that says, "heaven lies beneath the feet of your mother" which is basically to show the status and elevation of the mother, and also that a key to making it to paradise would be treating your mother with utmost love and respect
@@low_vibration the veil is a commandment from God as we have so many modesty rules like dress codes for men and lowering the gaze for both genders or not being alone with the opposite sex if he/she is not a spouse or family.
I watched Imam Omar Suleiman in an open forum with a Christian and a Jew discussing/debating their respective religions. Although I am a Christian there was no doubt the Imam “won” the debate hands down. He speaks with the strongest sense of confidence, conviction, compassion and empathy. He is an amazing speaker and his knowledge is endless. I could listen to him all day long. In the times of rampant Islamophobia I believe he is a great ambassador for Islam and an excellent voice for Muslims here in the U.S
In the US, because you have the sugarcoated and Americanised version of Islam. We in Europe are in a takeover. So we started with the sugarcoated one and going towards sharia..... Don't be naive.....
😂 i was not expecting the reply u got here . Why r u ppl so afraid of Sharia? It means law. You have sharia in every country on Earth. What are u afraid of? U getting caught stealing and ur hand being chopped off? Dont steal. Its simple.😂 (It doesn't work like that anyways, theres a whole bunch of steps before u are considered an actual thief) Learn/read, my friend. Dont just accept what u hear from the haters. The World needs Islam more than ever. Peace.
As a person who grew up in a religious Southern Baptist household, I’m ashamed to say that Islamophobia was normal. This conversation was eye opening and beautiful
Islamophobia comes from terror attacks. Comes from the fact that there is not a single muslim countries with modern human rights. comes from muslim , not speaking against other muslims and instead blaming the west.
@Shalom Shalom Islam was created several hundred years after Chrstianity. Muhammed married a 6 year old, took her to bed at 9yo. one is suppose to be killed if leaving Islam. its nothing like christianity.
Don't Worry, Here in the Middle East we have Curriculums and Texts in our religion that are Pure Anti-Semitic, literally in my school curriculum.... And remember it's not "Islamophobia" If it's true... Like Killing Apostates and People who Have Different opinions than the "Scholars", Or that We Allow Child marrige essentially Pedophila is allowed. That's all facts and not "Islamophobia" This is all coming from a Modern Muslim,
@@noirangel8292 you are difinitely not Muslim . Stop the deceitful words. As Imam noman said “ human can choose to behave like angels or like animals or like devil” I guess you chose to be devil !
You have no idea how much I needed to see this interview. Lately I’ve been questioning my faith and It’s like he talked me through all of the struggles that popped up lately.
Keep searching and looking for the truth and ask God for guidance. Leave all what hereditary put in your mind and start fresh without any prejudgments you will find your way for sure. May Allah open your heart for truth. ❤
Please read a little more about Islam and I'm confident that you will resolve all doubts and you will discover a new world, a beautiful one, an inspiring one, you waited long for it.
The description can be derived from the Quran. Here's a verse for example: (The link is a TH-cam short of a few verses of the chapter al-hashr) th-cam.com/video/i0iX--2fhZs/w-d-xo.html
Mr. Suleiman, you spoke of your mother and her wonderful smile. You, sir, also have the most wonderful, kind, serene smile I have seen in a long time. Her spirit lives in you and you are a reflection of her love. I do not know very many Muslim people, not by choice, but simply by chance. I enjoyed listening to your interview and appreciate the opportunity to learn more about Muslim Americans from your perspective. Lex, you are in my top three list of favourite interviewers, and just keep getting better and better. Thank you for putting out such high quality long-form interviews
Christine well said . Seems like your a good human with great heart.. Insha Allah you will come to Islam one day.. that’s what your soul will want from you ..
Dear sister, I do request you if you have the interest to know the truth , read Quran ( english copy for your convenience) , learn about Islam IN your spare time
oh yeah? then as a man you'll love islam as you will get all sort of f-d up benefits... like 4 wives, underage girls, countless number of female war slaves, 70 virgin angels after death hahahah..
This is the first episode of Lex's podcast that I have watched/listened to. I really like how much he lets his guest speak. Basically never interrupting. Such a difference from other interviewers.
.. by the way i have a question how a man like mahommad who can't even control his lust be messenger of god ..the man who start warming his bed with slave maria while his both wife are out that was verse in quran 😂and also sleep with his sons wife , marrying a 8 year old child and making se.x slaves really this type of variety is only possible in one area that is po*.n 😂🤣 these are many verse in islam which are against humanity and can't even accepted morally 😂🤣
ISLAM IS LIKE A POISONED APPLE ...SEEMS BEAUTIFL UNTIL YOU TASTE IT / BUT WHEN YOU FALL ASLEEP THERE IS NO PRINCE CHARMING WAITING TO REVIVE YOU !!! YOU WILL INSTANTLY WAKE P IN HELL !!!! IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE IT WILL SEEM!!!!!
What kind of place will these lady occupy in Jannah, the Garden of Hubal Allah subhanahu wa ta ala, the moongod, where her husband and her son Omar will be busy making whoopee with oodles of full breasted hoors? Will she be allowed to play the field with the young boys as pretty as pearls? Or will she be relegated to Jehannah, where most women will have their fiery abode.
A genuinely insightful conversation. Thank you Lex for being such a great host and thank you Imam Omar for being a great voice and representative of the Muslim community 💙
@Lex I'm really disappointed in this one. Why with Kanye did you push him to focus on the individual but when this fellow lies about Zionists and Israel you didn't push him back? How can you justify someone spreading lies on your podcast? He also lied about other religions claiming that Islam is the only one that has been preserved but that is neither here nor there... how can you claim that your podcast is about spreading peace and love but not push him back about his lies about Jews having their own country in their ancestral homeland which is what zionism. His lies about apartheid, occupation and genocide are refuted by the facts. Israeli Arabs and the Palestinians are one of the fastest growing demographics in the world...
Mr. Fridman, you're a real one. And the world needs more trutherseekers like you. Please continue what you're doing. I was a huge fan of yours before i became muslim, and i continue to be a huge fan of yours. Salaam, brother. I wish you wealth in every facet of your life.
@semperfi-1918 can't make a claim without backing arguments. I mean, technically you can, you just look like an idiot. Edit: i'll bet you ate the crayons without the jalapeno cheese.
I used to be muslim, and i guess i have stopped because of past trauma and experience that led me to distance myself from my spiritual path. This talk has made me miss that spiritual side that i grew up with, i have forever had it in me, and i was fully aware of it. I promise Allah and i promise myself that i will spend every day to seek that path again and get closer to him. In time of adversity, nothing makes me feel more secure than the knowledge that Allah is by my side and has a better plan set ahead for me. Thank you so much to Lex and to Dr Omar for making this beautiful talk happen. I think one of the mistakes I made is that instead of utilizing my love for Allah to get past this adversity, i thought of spirituality and my life as seperate, when in fact they are deeply connected. I am grateful that i now realise this as it couldve
The added stress of daily life led me to dropping off our family van today at Toyota. Instead of my wife picking me up I walked home listening to this podcast. I’ve found a profound amount of peace listening to it. My family has a video that went viral in the Muslim community when we used to live in Dubai. Living in Dubai lead me away from being atheist. I’ve know how peaceful the religion is from my Muslim friends. I will continue to look into the religion and study the Koran. As Salamu Alaykum✌🏼
This conversation brought Islam out of the shadows for me and perhaps others, who have been raised in this American society that has no time for or interest in anything related to Islam. Sadly, millions of our American neighbors are pushed aside, ignored, villainized, hated, all out of ignorance, laziness, and inhumanity. Peace to all of my Islamic neighbors in America and abroad.
@@sandytatham3592 or maybe all I’ve heard, my entire life, is that every Muslim is a barbaric subhuman whose only motive is to sow the seeds of chaos and terror across the globe. It’s called brain washing, many in the west have fallen victim to it. Omar is shedding light on the humanity of Muslim people, people who contribute their kindness, their intelligence, their hard work, not just in America but around the world. The radical Muslim factions are the only ones Americans hear about because there’s a culture war against the peaceful Muslims, which make up the majority of the Muslim population. If non-western Muslims were these villains that you’re implying they are, there would be reports of killings and violence around the world by them 24/7 because they make up 24% of the human population - that’s millions of people.
@@mifflinfinity: Muslims as people are great. They are full of humanity and kindness, and most of them are FAR BETTER than Islam. Most have never read the Qur'an (believed to be the literal word of Allah), Hadiths (the traditions of Muhammed), The Sira (biography of Muhammed), or Tafsirs (explanations). However, there are Muslims who are very devout, who follow all of the fundamentals of the ideology, and who are thus very knowledgeable about the obligations and the aim of Islam, which is to subjugate the whole world to Allah. If they live in places where Islam is in power, they can act on their obligations. Muslims in the west are, thankfully, not in power and around one quarter of them leave Islam once they investigate the ideology that they've been born into. Islam is primarily a political-legal ideology which encompasses every aspect of life, including that of the lives of Unbelievers (infidels, kaffirs). Why do you think that today there are still many Islamic countries which have the *death penalty* for Muslims who dare to leave Islam?
@@sandytatham3592 😂 wow your trying really hard. Muslims in the west who study they’re scripture are more committed into the religion because it is the truth. What has that got to do with born Muslims who don’t read and choose to follow they’re desire. Your mad because Jesus pbuh is a prophet in Islam ☪️ and NOT God. This is why your so hasty and mad. If u care about the truth then you will find it but don’t come here to spread lies on Islam. And say: "Truth has (now) arrived, and Falsehood perished: for Falsehood is (by its nature) bound to perish. Al Quran 17:81
Peace to you Mr Chuy, you have paid too much attention to the haterz, like the other poster(sandy) is posting in this thread. I recommend you use your time/effort to hear Muslims speak for themselves and stop listening to these haters, as they cause nothing more than more confusion and hate and division.
My Brother, there is no one who l know , nor will l probably, who will surpass this great man. .He will be with his Mother in the highest level of Jannah, InshaAllah
Hello Lex Fridman, My name is Eric Altenhein. I'm 38 years old & Christian. Watching you take part in Omar's prayer at the end of your video nearly brought tears to my eyes... It really touched my heart in a way I can't even explain, I was literally on the verge of crying, & almost still am as I type this. I can't even really say why it effected me this way so much. I have so much respect for you brother! It's been 10 minutes since the end of your video and I still have a lump in my throat 🥲Thank you for being who you are Lex & thank you Omar Suleiman for being who you are too brother! ☺😇
It's because mothers in Islam have a high place... Because of your mother and do way you treat her through your life can be one of the causes you will be granted paradis... The Father have a good place too, but the mother have 3 times the father's level... Because of what the mothers go through in pregnancy and taking care of the child even when he's an adult.
w.... chapter 65 verse 4 - Tafsir Ibn Al Kathir The Iddah of Those in Menopause and Those Who do not have Menses Allah the Exalted clarifies the waiting period of the woman in menopause. And that is the one whose menstruation has stopped due to her older age. Her Iddah is three months instead of the three monthly cycles for those who menstruate, which is based upon the Ayah in (Surat) Al-Baqarah. 228 The same for the young, who have not reached the years of menstruation. Their Iddah is three months like those in menopause.....The same for the young, who have not reached the years of menstruation. ...not even dogs do that
What a great interview, thanks Lex and Dr.Omar! I am reading books by Omar , they way he writes is as soft as he speaks . His books Made me cry many times because of the beautiful way of teaching and how to life live , how to talk to kids , how to support orphans, how to treat neighbors, animals , birds . Absolutely amazing ❤
I'm not a person crying easily but this one takes the cake.I'm not Muslim but I was awe-struck by beauty, content and the spirit of peace. I often listen to Lex and boy! he is certainly growing.
Quran 5:83 ❤️ When they listen to what has been revealed to the Messenger, you see their eyes overflowing with tears for recognizing the truth. They say, “Our Lord! We believe, so count us among the witnesses.
Am I about to convert to Islam?! This is one of the most beautiful conversations I’ve been blessed to watch. Dr. Omar’s peace is enviable. He emanates love and righteousness. 🙏🏾
Sister keep learning about true Islam and you'll realise Islam is the most beautiful religion in which you will find inner peace and true connection to one God. Muhammed, Jesus, Mosses, Ibrahim, Adam and other prophets and messengers came with one message which is to worship one God. Islam is the continuation of the same message Jesus and Mosses gave.
Al’hamdulillah! May Allah SWT guide you to the truth and open your heart to Islam. It’s a beautiful religion! I reverted at the age of 22 and there is NO FEELING like the peace and love you experience in Islam. Allahu Akbar! ❤ Read the Quran and research Islam.
Take the step sister, you will not look back or ever regret. There is nothing better than accepting the truth and absolute monotheism of Islam. Follow the path Malcolm X, Dave Chappel, Muhammad Ali, Jermain Jackson, Steve Harvey and Andrew tate.
@@ahmadshahahmadi6661 Steve Harvey is not a Muslim. He is a Christian. Regardless, the BEST person to follow is the one who those other people you listed follow - The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). There is no better example for mankind than his beautiful character! It is HIS character who Muslims aim for their own attainment, including the notable Muslim brothers you listed. May the peace and blessings of Allah be upon Prophet Muhammad and all of the prophets before him. Ameen.
As an agonistic western English male I found this podcast so insightful to truly understand the beauty of Islam and dispel media myths. Thank you Lex and Omar.
We believe the Holy Quran (book of Islam) is the direct revelation of God without human input. There's of course the story of mankind in it, narrated by the God. Worth looking into it. Assalamu alaikum (peace be upon you) 🙏
@ADU Aquascaping If you reform a religion then that religion would no longer be a religion. How can you reform Gods word and guidance to mankind? That's why i hold the quran higher than the bibles.
A co-worker asked me why I wanted to go the Military, I said " so I can get back at those muslims " next day my coworker gave me my first Quran , I've been a Muslim for 16 years now
his mother would smile at how welcoming he is...and how american he is...but foremost he is a confident knowledgable muslim who's words and delivery must be blessed becuzboth muslims and not-yet muslim benefit softly but surely....
@@pjaworek6793 I'm about 20 minutes in and there's been several references which help understanding Islam better. From the concept of God, to him talking about his mother's pious nature & behavior. And even a comment on how he tries to benefit his mother even in death.
This video sparked my journey that brought me to embracing Islam. Thank you Alex and thank you Brother Omar for this beautiful enlightening discussion. Without this I would have still been lost without purpose.
I have never listened to a podcast this long but this was the most profound discussion with great articulate explanation to help those who aren't knowledgeable about the Muslim beliefs. Such a beautiful introduction. I am also impressed by the best interviewer whom actually listens and does not interupt like others. Well done and god bless you both.
I didn't know that about God being as close to you as your jugular vein when you are praying. Did not know this was an islamic belief. I find that very beautiful.
It's in the Quran. You can look it up on the internet. It's in chapter 50 (surah Qaf) verse 16: Indeed, ˹it is˺ We ˹Who˺ created humankind and ˹fully˺ know what their souls whisper to them, and We are closer to them than ˹their˺ jugular vein.
Please don't stop...you'll be astounded! TH-cam has breathtaking recitations "transliterated" so you can hear the Arabic and read the English. Azat is one. Try 12 minutes of my favorite surah "Al Rahman" ...if you do nothing else please! Thanks n PEACE to you!
This is the best interview Lex has ever done. He listens so patiently and doesn’t interrupt Omar. And even joins the prayers. Wow BIG respect to Lex! 👍👍👍
@@fightorflight6290 This interview was a broad overview of the religion of Islam and an introduction to the faith for many people. The question would have given the speaker an opportunity to address what is a primary perception/concern of many anti-muslim Americans. Omar spoke of peace, but regularly media shows the violent and oppressive side of the religion. An explanation by Omar of the oppressive and violent sects (and I assume condemnation) would have rounded out the introduction to this faith and straight-forwardly addressed a common perception. In short - Lot's of discussion about love, with no acknowledgment of the other side of the coin.
@@mikewise8118 Let me try to answer that for you: Millions dead, wounded and displaced in Iraq because Iraq supposedly had nuclear weapons. Open support of Israel in the Israel-Palestine conflict while trying to mediate between the two sides. Rigging elections in Lebanon, inciting sectarian division and war by supporting Anti-Communist Camille Chamoun. The Bombing of Libya in 1986. Interventions in Somali Civil Wars. Arming and training Mujahideen to fight against Soviets, and then asking Pakistan to betray them after the Cold War and then declaring against Afghanistan. American intervention in Yemen from 2002 till present. Intervention in Syrian Civil War. Anomisity and Sanctions against Iran. These are some of the reasons for violence against America by some violent groups of muslims. And, yes, the majority of Muslims condemn violent acts against innocent American people.
As a muslim, it really moved my heart to see you pray with Dr. Suleiman. It shows that you're an authentic, genuine and open-minded person. This was an incredible podcast. Thank you Lex!
are you moved by children getting abused ? .,Quran book of Allah chapter 65 verse 4 - Tafsir Ibn Al Kathir The Iddah of Those in Menopause and Those Who do not have Menses Allah the Exalted clarifies the waiting period of the woman in menopause.

@@SandiegoRockstar are you trying to defend pedophilia in Islam `? Holy Quran Al-Tabari s 65:4 And those of your women as have passed the age of monthly courses, for them the 'Iddah (prescribed period), if you have doubt (about their periods), is three months; and for those who have no courses [(i.e. they are still immature) their 'Iddah (prescribed period) is three months likewise". He said: The same applies to the 'idaah for girls who do not menstruate because they are too young, if their husbands divorce them after consummating the marriage with them.)
@@abdoolmuhammad you’re a biased christian. you got that from pastors. it doesnt count. we dont believe that. thats just what christians believe about us.
I had never been so attentive in a conversation.It’s insane to me how rare these calm intellectual conversations are . One of the best sit down interviews I’ve ever seen, always gain so much light and insight from listening to Mr. Suleiman. I feel like he became also my best friend, but he doesn't know about our liaison. Lex, I've noticed that your interviewing style brings out what the guest has been wanting to say, but has lacked the access to express in a relaxed form, you drill down to get the answers to questions we wanted to be asked, but didn't know until you asked them. Thank You . I'm a puddle of tears right now, and I don't know what moved me so deeply.
@Rohit Som this is the response th-cam.com/video/zpLDPg5UX2Y/w-d-xo.html But people like you usually are not looking for the truth . They are blinded by arrogance and ignorance
This dude's vibe is tremendous and filled me with a lot of positivity for the day listening to his POV on life. Really inspiring, thanks for making this.
As a Muslim, this interview was refreshing. Constant reminders that I need and to remember to seek in my faith. May Allah preserve Imam Omar Suleiman and kudos to the host.
@@Arabtone Sex trafficking and child sexual exploitation rates in Europe are not a myth. These men learned this attitude from their religion. And they're being racist towards native Europeans. 60% of sex groomers in the Netherlands are Muslims. I wonder why... 58% of rapes in Sweden are committed by immigrants who are predominantly Muslims. The vast majority of grooming gangs in the UK are comprised of Pakistani men. This is also true in Finland, Germany, Austria etc... Muslim men are over represented in sex trafficking crimes and child sexual exploitation cases throughout Europe. Nothing but a bunch of hypocrites!
That is the word of God being recited. It’s supposed to do that to you! Search Sura TAHA that is chapter 20 of the Quran. With Sheikh Omar Hisham Alrabi. You will love it. Its mainly talk about when Moses received the revelation!
What will be the place and status of his mother in the Garden of allah (Jannah). The muhammadan paradise is a place where martyrs, shahids will enjoy the pleasures of Wein und Weib, (I'm not sure about the Gesang). They will make endless whoopee with an assortment of hoors. There is hardly any place for normal women in this male garden of delights. According to some hadiths the majority of women will be relegated to Jehannah or sheer hell.
@@lionheart4552 Brother you are subscribed to many islamic chanels, yet remain very ignorant and hateful. Why can't we coincide with our different beliefs?
@@faisalzeitoon8393 My good friend, I am neither ignorant or hateful. Rather I am very well informed & caring. If I wasn't caring then I would leave In your darkness.
May Allah bless you, I highly suggest you listen and read to the english meaning of this video which is the recitation of the Chapter called "The Table Spread" verses 109-120, it's about the conversation Jesus and God will have on the day of judgement: th-cam.com/video/8bnrhQn7dlk/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=TheRecital
As a Christian, you should be appalled at the Imam's previous violent rhetoric against Israel and the Jewish people and the slander he spewed here. Wake up!
This is one of the most underrated thing that people are aware of Muslims. We love our mothers as she is the one that sets up the path of our salvation from when we are young. We have to take care of our mothers in Islam and never expect our spouse, kids or care homes to look after her. She is the one that looks after us when we were at our most vulnerable and we expect to look after her when she is at her most vulnerable. Ultimately our reward is with God.
What will the role of these muhammadan mothers be in the muhammadan jannah or garden of Hubal Allah subanahuh wa ta allah? Will they not be superfluous for the horny muhammadan mumineen? After all, the muhammadan mumineen will be well supplied and well stocked with voluptuous big breasted hoors, with the purpose of eternal coitus. Will the rightly believing muminas be rewarded with 80, 000 young boys as beautiful as pearls? Wil the muhammadan mothers have special seats where they can be spectators when their muhammadan husbands and their muhammadan sons make passionate whoopee with the eternally virginal hoors or maidens of janna.
Omar Suleiman is honestly someone I genuinely consider to be a reason as to why my Iman is as strong as it is. His way of explaining things so eloquently, his simplicity of life, etc. MashAllah. May Allah bless Omar Suleiman in this life & in the next 🙏
I watched the whole podcast in one sitting, three hours felt like an hour. Omar is so eloquent and the way he constructs his sentences and delivers his thought so perfectly is amazing, it's as if he was reading from well-written articles every time you asked him something. Islam is getting so much attention in the media after Khabib made it so desirable through the MMA community with his beautiful and humble personality and honesty. I have noticed that it is only increasing rapidly beside it being the fastest growing religion in the west by converts, mostly young women (the irony huh), but amongst the Hollywood stars too. Tate brothers became Muslims, Ben Affleck defended Islam on a talk show, and Jon Bernthal, the punisher himself praised Islam, but the most amazing, beneficial, brave and educational of them all is this podcast right here. LET'S GO! Believing in GOD is trending and WE LOVE IT! ps. Firas Zahabi, you should invite him to talk about well...anything basically😂 The dude is the best MMA coach ever and has degrees in philosophical science AND I love it when he talks about science, God and religion
I grew up in New Orleans and prayed behind Dr. Omar Suleiman many times. I have since veered on my own journey of religion and spirituality, but listening to him so many years later and seeing that same smile on his face has been a delight. He really does represent much of the beautiful aspects of Islam, such as his acceptance of others and how soft spoken he is. @Lex, thank you for the millionth time for the enlightening conversation and your incessant drive to spread love in this world. ❤
When he was talking about his mother, it was like a movie before my eyes with a wonderful person in which was his mom. Im ashamed that im not such a good son to my mom.. may Allah heal my heart from all these diseases from Dunya (addictions, weak willpower)
I'm really grateful for this podcast. As a convert to Islam, it gets depressing to see how quick so many people are to criticize and hate Islam without bothering to really speak to a pious and learned Muslim to learn about it. Thank you for interviewing Dr. Omar. I hope that you can have Shaykh Hamza Yusuf or Shaykh Abdal Hakim Murad on in the future, insha'Allah.
@@Dxxxxxv you're right, it doesn't matter what someone like you says. You have not studied Islamic law or legal theory or academic Islamic studies. I live in the Muslim world and study Islamic law. I read original source texts in Arabic and know the truth for myself. Anonymous comments from haters that are ignorant of historical and sociological realities have no impact on me, or on anyone who can think critically. I have lived in several Muslim countries and with Muslims in the US. The beautiful actions and character I've observed from Muslims in all this experience speak louder than your empty words.
As a em ex Muslim. @Lex I'm really disappointed in this one. Why with Kanye did you push him to focus on the individual but when this fellow lies about Zionists and Israel you didn't push him back? How can you justify someone spreading lies on your podcast?

His lies about apartheid, occupation and genocide are refuted by the facts. Israeli Arabs and the Palestinians are one of the fastest growing demographics in the world...
When Omar talked about his mum brought me to tears and what he said about not allowing anger to turn away from God struck me in particular. I have always been deeply spiritual and losing my father very young hardened my heart to God. I was angry and a child and that was OK. But I am re-exploring faith and it does provide peace and guidance. I do think all religions have a thread of truths to our existence here and now.
Writing this only halfway but this is amazing ,one of the best interviews I have seen showing that if you have respect you can get insight into the beauty that humanity has to offer. Also someone should caption the way imam Oman talked about his mom, it's so pure and genuine.
33.... chapter 65 verse 4 - Tafsir Ibn Al Kathir The Iddah of Those in Menopause and Those Who do not have Menses Allah the Exalted clarifies the waiting period of the woman in menopause. And that is the one whose menstruation has stopped due to her older age. Her Iddah is three months instead of the three monthly cycles for those who menstruate, which is based upon the Ayah in (Surat) Al-Baqarah. 228 The same for the young, who have not reached the years of menstruation. Their Iddah is three months like those in menopause.....The same for the young, who have not reached the years of menstruation. ...not even dogs do that
If you want to learn what Islam is, don’t look at Muslims, look at the Quran and read it to see what it says Muslims should be. May Allah guide you and everyone who inquires
What to violence and aggression? Killing non believers wherever you find them? Having child brides? Or having sex slaves?... the heart is deceitful above all things who can know it (Jeremiah 17:9).
Don't be fooled. Watch a couple videos by Sam Shampoun, David Wood and Christian Prince and you will see Islam is evil. Islam does NOT lead followers to heaven.

It moved me when Lex honored the prayer time, a gentle gesture in a world where history and doctrine divide us like wild bridges emanating from and leading back to the same divine home.
@@rohitsom1483 There is no other way to pray to God, "And whoever seeks a religion other than Islaam, it will never be accepted of him, and in the Hereafter he will be one of the losers."

@Rohit Som Why are you Hindus so obsessed with Muslims, under every comment section I find at least one Hindu harassing Muslims, spreading hate about Islam. Stop being such hateful people, and get over being ruled by the Mughals/Muslim rulers for centuries, instead, you should be thanking them, they made the Indian subcontinent the richest in the world during their rule.

Lex, thank you for interviewing such a brilliant man on a very important topic. I hope your listeners take the time to absorb all of the information that was divulged and even feel the desire to look further in to Islam. I am a recent convert (previously Roman Catholic) and I can affirm, it's a great religion. Inshallah(God Willing) this podcast will create many more Muslims.

@@SheikhAlladeenre supposed to be better than dogs, and the book is there to teach you how. Also I dont understand your outrage about waiting 3 months before you re-marry. I know we in the west are liberal about anyone being allowed to do anything whenever they want, but lets not pretend that re-marrying within a month after divorce is somehow a sign of a healthy balanced life. Makes me think of men and women who cant be alone with themselves for a whole month so they start a new relationship to keep them too busy to contemplate the miserable state of their mental health. Practically speaking, I think three months would be just the right minimum amount of time to let emotions subside and reorganise yourself before you dive into the next life altering decision. Those “rules” are there for a reason, and not all of them are punished by eternal hell fire. They serve as advice and guidelines which really make alot more sense then it is given credit for. But we’re too stuck in our hedonistic indulging addictions for us to want to admit that because that’d mean we’d have to work on ourselves. So dont read the book and buy another shiney thing that will give you enjoyment for a three whole seconds before your short attention span pulls you to the next useless crap nobody needs.

Imam Omar Suleiman is the type of Muslim the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) would be proud of. He represents Islam and Muslims in the purest form possible. Thank you to Lex for hosting this powerful podcast
Go watch the Muslim Skeptic exposing his devious agenda. He's far from a proper Muslim and does not represent real Islam in any way shape or form. He's a deviant if anything.
Oh boy!! This is one of my best podcasts. The calmness of Lex and the composure and knowledge of Omar Suleiman is grand. I have listened to this over a week while on the bus and I wished the journey was always longer. It is an outstanding job of how Omar dissects islam and beauty of knowledge. Lex, thank you for being open minded as I got to understand more beautifully. You get an Oscar from me.
Alhamdulillah As a White Muslim i get these comments as well when i tell someone im Muslim they will say “okay terrorist” even got this by my own Grandmother who ive always looked at as a huge christian who i never wouldve thought would say something like this. And where I’m from theres not alot of Muslims around me i wish i had Muslim friends who i could speak to about things like this.
A brilliant interview. Sheikh Umar is someone who embodies the Quran's teachings of being a beacon of light for humanity. My sincere thanks to Lex for making this happen.
This is one of the most heartfelt, authentic, and humble interviews I've ever witnessed. Dr Omar Suleiman is a standard of living as a human being that I aspire to become. Thank you Lex ❤☪️🕉️
For anyone maybe wanting to hear more from Sheikh Omar Suleiman I can only recommend Yaqeen Institute's TH-cam Channel. A good beginner playlist would be ,,Meeting Muhammad" as it describes the role model of a Muslim and what we all hope to aspire to be one day
As a Muslim, it moves you when see a great representer of Islam such as brother Omar, I pray for you and your family. Thank you Lex for this insightful conversation.
@@shahanbgazada 🤷♂️😂😂unbelievable that you didn’t even watch the interview and witnessed the utter lie’s coming out of his mouth…. 😂😂😂 btw… antisemitism is a term coined for jewish hatred… fighting afaythe jews having their own country (unlike 23 arab countries) that they can feel safe in… your pretense is hilarious ya zalame
So what will happen to the rich history that hinduism created? I mean, will people start to destroy all the temples and their wisdom etc. like Muslims have done in the past with many other cultures?
Man! How articulate and well-spoken that individual is! First time to hear him at this length! My respect grew larger and larger. Thanks for the friendly environment, too, Lex. May Allah guide me and you and all of us to his straight path. ❤
I'm not religious, but I can respect this man. I especially liked the point that there is no images or media coverage regarding Iraq that shows compassion for the Iraqi civilians. At least not that I can remember, giving it hard thought. Heck half of the american movies / Media / Speakers of the war speaks of the horrors soldiers had to endure, and never what horrors they might have done. I've seen some who question the meaning of the war, but that is about it, the suffering of other HUMANS is sorely overlooked.
And what about the killings of each other before the americans came and overthrew sunni sadam Hussein, discrimination against kurds, christians and belittleing of them ? The ongoing fight of sunni and shia people?
@@ferhatozdemir2536 The thing I like about Christians and the European colonizers is that the present generation is atleast shameful for the horrific atrocities their ancestors have created.
@@jeevan88888 indeed. And it was actually against Jesus message. It had to be false propagated by colonizers while there is justification of slavery of non muslims in islam. It s still going on in a modern fashion on the arabic peninsula especially. But muslim scholars and a number of followers turn a blind eye on these atrocities if the perpetrators of the past or present are muslims.
The emphasis on being unable to name at least one victim from Iraq says a lot about us. Out of millions of people suffering, how could we not understand what any of the victims went through? :(
Its crazy this was 3 hours long and I think I would have listened for another 3 hours. I couldn't even tell it was 3 hours. The value of this talk is rewarding. May God reward you both for all the good done via this connection. More and more im seeing Islam as more of a solution to much of the problems in the world, its crazy how lessons taught 1400 years ago are still very impactful today, if anything our modern era needs is better moral character.
Wow! Thank you for your thoughtful, wise words. Listening as a believer in Christ, I kept thinking, " surely we serve the same God." So much of what you said resonates with the God I sense, when he draws near. One thing you said, when we call upon God, "he is closer than our jugular vein." Powerfull words. Again, Thank you.
ofcourse we worship the same GOD...the only difference is with time Christianity lost the concept of the one n only GOD and got confused in the concept of trinity and taking the words of jesus out of context on that..jesus was a mighty prophet and the message is same by every prophet of the time...i invite you to study islam more..u believe in the old n new testament..also accept the last testament Quran..
so you are saying, God sat around while the nazis gassed MILLIONS and MILLIONS of his followers (jews) to death? He did NOTHING? like after the first few thousand got murdered, He should ve put a stop to it. but no, He did nothing at all. is this what you are suggesting?
@@safyaniqbal2 I'm open to reading the Quran. I also agree that Christians have taken much of what Christ said out of context. The church warped a lot of things into something more palatable to them and which looks more worldly than what I imagine God is calling us to. However, this is what men do. The Christian church has also done many great things in Christ's name. Ultimately, we are only here for a very brief moment. The only thing I am certain of is that no one has it figured out. I'm sure eternity is much different than we are capable of imagining. He spoke in the video about our natural disposition to worship God. I believe anyone who responds to that in earnest, humble prayer and seeks God will find him. Just because some people call that being a different name doesn't make their prayers go unheard. I would bet that there are people who call themselves Christians and Muslims who have never honestly saught after God. Likewise, I believe there are people on both sides who have sought after God and found him. Or, perhaps God found them. I'm not necessarily a universalist I don't think. I believe Christ did make it clear that he was not only sent by God but was God in the flesh. I think the trinity is just a man-mad symbol thats helps illustrate a very complex idea. We see through a dim glass. I have felt the love of God and I pray I spend the rest of my life seeking to experience it and emulate it more and more.
@@Andy_Mark thanks dear, for being so open to everything. For muslims, Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) is a walking Quran. Start from reading a book about him, written by a westerner revert muslim Martin lings. "muhammad: his life based on the earliest sources", After that you start reading quran and take guidance from your nearest islamic centre if you have any questions. May GOD. Guide us all aameen
@@safyaniqbal2 I have downloaded two books about Muhammad which were available through my local library. Unfortunately, the one you suggested was not available. I must admit, my knowledge of the Muslim faith is very limited. I'm sure it's very biased because my ignorance means that I only understand it through the scope of American media. I, like many others, am often sickened by the rhetoric I hear on the news and strive to see the world through an impartial lens. However, to say that I'm not at all biased would also be foolish. Hopefully, learning for myself will help. Furthermore, I believe that God's truths can not be understood without him revealing them to you. While one should seek the truth and read the scripture, I have seen and felt a distinct difference from when I am learning scriptures by reading them versus when the spirit of God writes a truth in my heart. Have you read something, perhaps for the 100th time and all of the sudden, it leaps off the page and takes on a whole new meaning? It feels similar to an epiphany except you know it was a gift and not an achievement of your own intellect? If you can empathize with this, it has to raise the question, are we praying to the same God? Truely, isn't the name we call God almost always determined by our parents or geography?
Fantastic guest. So well spoken, well educated and incredibly level headed. I strive to be as calm, cool, and collected this gentlemen is. I’d love to meet him and shake his hand. I have some of my own questions I’d ask.
I was raised religious and became very anti-religous in my early 20s. Now I am slightly older and wiser in my 30s it's very interesting for me to hear conversations like this because for a long time I've associated religion in general as being a bad thing. I'm not sure I am ready to become a convert of any faith but I am becoming a lot more open-minded.
Baby steps, as I get older I feel as a Muslim, religion helps make sense of life and everything that comes with it, you realise that a greater power is in control.
@@iramwarriah9613 ? You're a Muslim? Then how about addressing the 9-11 topic. Or will you avoid it like the guest Suleiman did and Lex LET the TOOL AVOID IT! Do you wish the scum-bags that did 9-11 are burning in hell?
@@iramwarriah9613 the greater power just shanked 4,000 innocent syrians and turks already in a war torn region with a massive earthquake. you sure this greater power is in control? does nt look like it, why not send the earthquake to the opulent palace of the custodian of the two holy mosques? why drop it on poor war torn refugees instead?
@@AA123TD so why not crush the palaces of the custodians of the two holy mosques!!! why does the allah always crush war torn parts of syria or dirt poor shores of sri lanka ===== notice the butcher assad is stil living in his palace up in syria, only the believers got crushed, lol ===== but like you said the allah is al hakim. makes sense.
With all that's going on, I need to hear the hope and humility that's shared in this podcast again and again. I keep listening to these two men to keep my hope alive that we all think with our hearts.
SubhanAllah when he was talking about his mom. , it s the same way i feel about my father may Allah have mercy on him, he was very humble and merciful i try to do things and charities for him that i don’t do charity for myself, i pray that Allah accept it from me and unite us all with our loved ones ameen
As someone who was raised Southern Baptist Christian who went to church and simply called myself a Christian, but has become a PRACTITIONER of a non-denominational Christianity and bringing Christ's love to the world through my actions, not my words, to the extent to which I am capable every day, I'm not perfect, I stand with my Muslim brothers and sisters around the world. I pray for peace in Palestine, Syria, Yemen, Iraq, Afghanistan, and everywhere else that global imperialist powers are regularly persecuting Muslims, peace be upon you. I find that Muslims are some of the absolute most respectful and principled people that walk the face of the earth. Great examples are Malcolm X after his return from Mecca, Muhammad Ali, and a great modern example being Khabib Nurmagomedov. Khabib is as principled of a man that anyone could ever hope to become. He never utters a word truly out malice despite being the creme de la creme of combat sports athletes. He was at the very top of the combat world, completely undefeated in his career, and stepped away to take care of his mother, to help his brothers and cousins achieve their own dreams, and once he proved himself to be as amazing of a coach as he was an athlete, he could've had all the money in the world, but stepped away to spend time with his family. Anyone that doesn't understand the type of man that comes from Islam should immerse themselves in the world of Mixed Martial Arts and learn about the men that come from Dagestan. It is absolutely humbling to see. Learning just how similar Islam and Christianity are, despite some major differences, just absolutely woke me up about the beauty of my Muslim brothers and sisters and their love and respect for other people. If you don't know much about Islam, go elsewhere on TH-cam and watch a video about the similarities between Islam and your own religion. Islam and Christianity, in my own opinion, are closer than Judaism, despite the regular misinformation that is pushed by Christian preachers with their own closed minded agendas regarding Israel and the return of Christ. The idea that any Christian will make it into heaven while actively trying to force the return of Christ through supporting violence against Palestinians by Israel is absolutely insane and against the teachings of Christ at every level. Imagine standing in front of God at your judgement and saying "I wanted to support the destruction of Palestine to unite Israel so You could return on the timeline of me and other 'Christians', rather than Your own timeline, my Lord".
Thank you ❤️ This verse from the Quran comes to my mind when God says “Obelievers! Stand firm for justice as witnesses for Allah even if it is against yourselves, your parents, or close relatives. Be they rich or poor, Allah is best to ensure their interests. So do not let your desires cause you to deviate ˹from justice˺. If you distort the testimony or refuse to give it, then ˹know that˺ Allah is certainly All-Aware of what you do.” This clearly means always stand for the oppressed no matter they’re religion, for all of Gods creation. Do not do injustice to anyone or we will have to answer to him on the day of judgement! This baffles me when Christian’s can support ethnic cleansing of Palestinian ✝️ and Muslims ☪️ just because of Jesus’s 2nd coming. Do not join evil even if your family or community is taking part in it! God is just and God is for all he’s creation.

Snake oil salesman. Did Lex ask him to explain about Aisha? The 6yr old girl the prophet this man follows married?
Did Omar explain how all Christians would be made second class citizens if they took over? Educate yourself on Sharia law and Islamic history.
He mentions the Crusades as a defense, when the Crusades was a defense by Christians against Islamic oppression. The same oppression they continue today all over the world.
May Allah protect men like Omar Suleiman. His soul can be felt millions of miles away. He is a very genuine person.
As a regular white American who doesn’t know sh*t about Islam, this was by far the best introduction to Islam I could’ve possibly gotten. Thank you lex and Omar 🙏🏽🙌🏽
Don’t you find it sad that you are now only finding out- being introduced to Islam, as you put it- when your politicians and leaders in government, media and intellectual sphere have been staining it with the disgusting label of terrorism for decades and decades?

In Islam we raise our mothers to the highest rank. Literally no one can surpass our mothers in terms of who we should treat best in our personal lives. There is a saying of the Prophet Muhammad peace be upon Him that says, "heaven lies beneath the feet of your mother" which is basically to show the status and elevation of the mother, and also that a key to making it to paradise would be treating your mother with utmost love and respect

@anklebreaka03 LMAO that's why you veil them
@@low_vibration the veil is a commandment from God as we have so many modesty rules like dress codes for men and lowering the gaze for both genders or not being alone with the opposite sex if he/she is not a spouse or family.
I watched Imam Omar Suleiman in an open forum with a Christian and a Jew discussing/debating their respective religions. Although I am a Christian there was no doubt the Imam “won” the debate hands down. He speaks with the strongest sense of confidence, conviction, compassion and empathy. He is an amazing speaker and his knowledge is endless. I could listen to him all day long. In the times of rampant Islamophobia I believe he is a great ambassador for Islam and an excellent voice for Muslims here in the U.S

As a person who grew up in a religious Southern Baptist household, I’m ashamed to say that Islamophobia was normal. This conversation was eye opening and beautiful
Islamophobia comes from terror attacks. Comes from the fact that there is not a single muslim countries with modern human rights. comes from muslim , not speaking against other muslims and instead blaming the west.
@Shalom Shalom Islam was created several hundred years after Chrstianity. Muhammed married a 6 year old, took her to bed at 9yo. one is suppose to be killed if leaving Islam. its nothing like christianity.
Don't Worry, Here in the Middle East we have Curriculums and Texts in our religion that are Pure Anti-Semitic, literally in my school curriculum....
And remember it's not "Islamophobia" If it's true...
Like Killing Apostates and People who Have Different opinions than the "Scholars",
Or that We Allow Child marrige essentially Pedophila is allowed.
That's all facts and not "Islamophobia"

Keep searching and looking for the truth and ask God for guidance. Leave all what hereditary put in your mind and start fresh without any prejudgments you will find your way for sure. May Allah open your heart for truth. ❤
If its Islam you really should be questioning your faith.. because the Quran is FILLED with errors, contradictions and scientific impossibilities.
May God guide you and make all your affairs easy, Aameen 💛

Christine well said . Seems like your a good human with great heart.. Insha Allah you will come to Islam one day.. that’s what your soul will want from you ..
Dear sister, I do request you if you have the interest to know the truth , read Quran ( english copy for your convenience) , learn about Islam IN your spare time
Such a wonderful observation and kind words to say about Mr. Suleiman.
I am not a Muslim, but I have great respect for Omar’s kind disposition and meek approach to explaining his beliefs. Salam alaykum Omar 🙏
I invite you to Islam
@@irfanfareedh4551 yes
it is not meek rather I would rather say polite yet firm and effect delivery capable of capturing attention immediately
oh yeah? then as a man you'll love islam as you will get all sort of f-d up benefits... like 4 wives, underage girls, countless number of female war slaves, 70 virgin angels after death hahahah..
if not muselim why do you greet with "salam alaykum omar"?
Oalaikumussalam💜
This is the first episode of Lex's podcast that I have watched/listened to. I really like how much he lets his guest speak. Basically never interrupting. Such a difference from other interviewers.
Agreed 💯
.. by the way i have a question how a man like mahommad who can't even control his lust be messenger of god ..the man who start warming his bed with slave maria while his both wife are out that was verse in quran 😂and also sleep with his sons wife , marrying a 8 year old child and making se.x slaves really this type of variety is only possible in one area that is po*.n 😂🤣 these are many verse in islam which are against humanity and can't even accepted morally 😂🤣
so true! what a great interviewer
ISLAM IS LIKE A POISONED APPLE ...SEEMS BEAUTIFL UNTIL YOU TASTE IT / BUT WHEN YOU FALL ASLEEP THERE IS NO PRINCE CHARMING WAITING TO REVIVE YOU !!! YOU WILL INSTANTLY WAKE P IN HELL !!!! IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE IT WILL SEEM!!!!!
Really unheard of and commendable!!! I really appreciated this interview. Mashaallah
I have cried during the story of his mother because it was a source of beauty.
Same here 😢
What kind of place will these lady occupy in Jannah, the Garden of Hubal Allah subhanahu wa ta ala, the moongod, where her husband and her son Omar will be busy making whoopee with oodles of full breasted hoors? Will she be allowed to play the field with the young boys as pretty as pearls?
Or will she be relegated to Jehannah, where most women will have their fiery abode.
Gullible & easily manipulated. Are you a Muslim ?

So weak 😂😂😂 use the Quran as toilet paper 🧻
A genuinely insightful conversation. Thank you Lex for being such a great host and thank you Imam Omar for being a great voice and representative of the Muslim community 💙
MashaAllah! May he bless you

@Lex I'm really disappointed in this one. Why with Kanye did you push him to focus on the individual but when this fellow lies about Zionists and Israel you didn't push him back? How can you justify someone spreading lies on your podcast? He also lied about other religions claiming that Islam is the only one that has been preserved but that is neither here nor there... how can you claim that your podcast is about spreading peace and love but not push him back about his lies about Jews having their own country in their ancestral homeland which is what zionism. His lies about apartheid, occupation and genocide are refuted by the facts. Israeli Arabs and the Palestinians are one of the fastest growing demographics in the world...
If you mean a total sophist - I agree.

Welcome to Islam brother ❤️🔥
I used to be muslim, and i guess i have stopped because of past trauma and experience that led me to distance myself from my spiritual path. This talk has made me miss that spiritual side that i grew up with, i have forever had it in me, and i was fully aware of it. I promise Allah and i promise myself that i will spend every day to seek that path again and get closer to him. In time of adversity, nothing makes me feel more secure than the knowledge that Allah is by my side and has a better plan set ahead for me. Thank you so much to Lex and to Dr Omar for making this beautiful talk happen.
I think one of the mistakes I made is that instead of utilizing my love for Allah to get past this adversity, i thought of spirituality and my life as seperate, when in fact they are deeply connected. I am grateful that i now realise this as it couldve
I can relate. May Allah expect our true love. May Allah grant us forgiveness and bless us to be close to him.
May Allah ease it for you and bring you baraqah for your efforts! :)
Glad to hear sister.
May Allah strengthen you and use you to remind others of the straight path
Alhumdulilah. May Allah guide you & us all to that path of serenity and connection with him. Ameen.
The added stress of daily life led me to dropping off our family van today at Toyota. Instead of my wife picking me up I walked home listening to this podcast. I’ve found a profound amount of peace listening to it. My family has a video that went viral in the Muslim community when we used to live in Dubai. Living in Dubai lead me away from being atheist. I’ve know how peaceful the religion is from my Muslim friends. I will continue to look into the religion and study the Koran. As Salamu Alaykum✌🏼

This conversation brought Islam out of the shadows for me and perhaps others, who have been raised in this American society that has no time for or interest in anything related to Islam. Sadly, millions of our American neighbors are pushed aside, ignored, villainized, hated, all out of ignorance, laziness, and inhumanity. Peace to all of my Islamic neighbors in America and abroad.
You've only heard about the sugar-coated version, the westernised Islam.
@@sandytatham3592 or maybe all I’ve heard, my entire life, is that every Muslim is a barbaric subhuman whose only motive is to sow the seeds of chaos and terror across the globe. It’s called brain washing, many in the west have fallen victim to it. Omar is shedding light on the humanity of Muslim people, people who contribute their kindness, their intelligence, their hard work, not just in America but around the world. The radical Muslim factions are the only ones Americans hear about because there’s a culture war against the peaceful Muslims, which make up the majority of the Muslim population. If non-western Muslims were these villains that you’re implying they are, there would be reports of killings and violence around the world by them 24/7 because they make up 24% of the human population - that’s millions of people.
@@mifflinfinity: Muslims as people are great. They are full of humanity and kindness, and most of them are FAR BETTER than Islam. Most have never read the Qur'an (believed to be the literal word of Allah), Hadiths (the traditions of Muhammed), The Sira (biography of Muhammed), or Tafsirs (explanations). However, there are Muslims who are very devout, who follow all of the fundamentals of the ideology, and who are thus very knowledgeable about the obligations and the aim of Islam, which is to subjugate the whole world to Allah. If they live in places where Islam is in power, they can act on their obligations.
Muslims in the west are, thankfully, not in power and around one quarter of them leave Islam once they investigate the ideology that they've been born into. Islam is primarily a political-legal ideology which encompasses every aspect of life, including that of the lives of Unbelievers (infidels, kaffirs). Why do you think that today there are still many Islamic countries which have the *death penalty* for Muslims who dare to leave Islam?
@@sandytatham3592 😂 wow your trying really hard. Muslims in the west who study they’re scripture are more committed into the religion because it is the truth. What has that got to do with born Muslims who don’t read and choose to follow they’re desire. Your mad because Jesus pbuh is a prophet in Islam ☪️ and NOT God. This is why your so hasty and mad. If u care about the truth then you will find it but don’t come here to spread lies on Islam. And say: "Truth has (now) arrived, and Falsehood perished: for Falsehood is (by its nature) bound to perish. Al Quran 17:81
Peace to you Mr Chuy, you have paid too much attention to the haterz, like the other poster(sandy) is posting in this thread. I recommend you use your time/effort to hear Muslims speak for themselves and stop listening to these haters, as they cause nothing more than more confusion and hate and division.
To me omer Suleiman is one of the most peaceful and beautiful soul on this planet
My Brother, there is no one who l know , nor will l probably, who will surpass this great man. .He will be with his Mother in the highest level of Jannah, InshaAllah

Hello Lex Fridman, My name is Eric Altenhein. I'm 38 years old & Christian. Watching you take part in Omar's prayer at the end of your video nearly brought tears to my eyes... It really touched my heart in a way I can't even explain, I was literally on the verge of crying, & almost still am as I type this. I can't even really say why it effected me this way so much. I have so much respect for you brother! It's been 10 minutes since the end of your video and I still have a lump in my throat 🥲Thank you for being who you are Lex & thank you Omar Suleiman for being who you are too brother! ☺😇
Same brother, same.. 🥲
I feel the same way brother. I’m a Muslim woman in my 30s, from Australia. Praise be to God, who pours this mercy into our hearts. 🌹
Me too 😭
May Allah guide you to Him and reward you with paradise
@@Gamer-zq5eb as a Christian he can be certain of paradise.
The way he talked about his mother was so precious, It made me very emotional May god bless him

It's because mothers in Islam have a high place... Because of your mother and do way you treat her through your life can be one of the causes you will be granted paradis... The Father have a good place too, but the mother have 3 times the father's level... Because of what the mothers go through in pregnancy and taking care of the child even when he's an adult.

Her Iddah is three months instead of the three monthly cycles for those who menstruate, which is based upon the Ayah in (Surat) Al-Baqarah. 228 The same for the young, who have not reached the years of menstruation.

Sister keep learning about true Islam and you'll realise Islam is the most beautiful religion in which you will find inner peace and true connection to one God. Muhammed, Jesus, Mosses, Ibrahim, Adam and other prophets and messengers came with one message which is to worship one God. Islam is the continuation of the same message Jesus and Mosses gave.
May God guide you❤
Al’hamdulillah! May Allah SWT guide you to the truth and open your heart to Islam. It’s a beautiful religion! I reverted at the age of 22 and there is NO FEELING like the peace and love you experience in Islam. Allahu Akbar! ❤ Read the Quran and research Islam.
Take the step sister, you will not look back or ever regret. There is nothing better than accepting the truth and absolute monotheism of Islam. Follow the path Malcolm X, Dave Chappel, Muhammad Ali, Jermain Jackson, Steve Harvey and Andrew tate.
@@ahmadshahahmadi6661 Steve Harvey is not a Muslim. He is a Christian. Regardless, the BEST person to follow is the one who those other people you listed follow - The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).

As an agonistic western English male I found this podcast so insightful to truly understand the beauty of Islam and dispel media myths. Thank you Lex and Omar.
We believe the Holy Quran (book of Islam) is the direct revelation of God without human input. There's of course the story of mankind in it, narrated by the God. Worth looking into it. Assalamu alaikum (peace be upon you) 🙏
Uhm.... their biases and weaknesses are not a myth. Stop apologizing for their weaknesses. Their religion needs to be reformed

Not just while praying… but all the time!
It's in the Quran. You can look it up on the internet. It's in chapter 50 (surah Qaf) verse 16:
Indeed, ˹it is˺ We ˹Who˺ created humankind and ˹fully˺ know what their souls whisper to them, and We are closer to them than ˹their˺ jugular vein.

This is the best interview Lex has ever done. He listens so patiently and doesn’t interrupt Omar. And even joins the prayers. Wow BIG respect to Lex! 👍👍👍
I agree
I think Lex missed getting some information from Omar on the very conservative and violent branches of Islam.
@Mike Wise and out of curiosity what would you gain by getting the answer to that question 🤔
@@fightorflight6290 This interview was a broad overview of the religion of Islam and an introduction to the faith for many people. The question would have given the speaker an opportunity to address what is a primary perception/concern of many anti-muslim Americans. Omar spoke of peace, but regularly media shows the violent and oppressive side of the religion. An explanation by Omar of the oppressive and violent sects (and I assume condemnation) would have rounded out the introduction to this faith and straight-forwardly addressed a common perception. In short - Lot's of discussion about love, with no acknowledgment of the other side of the coin.
@@mikewise8118 Let me try to answer that for you: Millions dead, wounded and displaced in Iraq because Iraq supposedly had nuclear weapons. Open support of Israel in the Israel-Palestine conflict while trying to mediate between the two sides. Rigging elections in Lebanon, inciting sectarian division and war by supporting Anti-Communist Camille Chamoun. The Bombing of Libya in 1986. Interventions in Somali Civil Wars. Arming and training Mujahideen to fight against Soviets, and then asking Pakistan to betray them after the Cold War and then declaring against Afghanistan. American intervention in Yemen from 2002 till present. Intervention in Syrian Civil War. Anomisity and Sanctions against Iran. These are some of the reasons for violence against America by some violent groups of muslims. And, yes, the majority of Muslims condemn violent acts against innocent American people.
As a muslim, it really moved my heart to see you pray with Dr. Suleiman. It shows that you're an authentic, genuine and open-minded person. This was an incredible podcast. Thank you Lex!

I watched the whole podcast in one sitting, three hours felt like an hour. Omar is so eloquent and the way he constructs his sentences and delivers his thought so perfectly is amazing, it's as if he was reading from well-written articles every time you asked him something.
Islam is getting so much attention in the media after Khabib made it so desirable through the MMA community with his beautiful and humble personality and honesty.
I have noticed that it is only increasing rapidly beside it being the fastest growing religion in the west by converts, mostly young women (the irony huh), but amongst the Hollywood stars too. Tate brothers became Muslims, Ben Affleck defended Islam on a talk show, and Jon Bernthal, the punisher himself praised Islam, but the most amazing, beneficial, brave and educational of them all is this podcast right here.

I'm really grateful for this podcast. As a convert to Islam, it gets depressing to see how quick so many people are to criticize and hate Islam without bothering to really speak to a pious and learned Muslim to learn about it. Thank you for interviewing Dr. Omar. I hope that you can have Shaykh Hamza Yusuf or Shaykh Abdal Hakim Murad on in the future, insha'Allah.
@@Dxxxxxv you're right, it doesn't matter what someone like you says. You have not studied Islamic law or legal theory or academic Islamic studies. I live in the Muslim world and study Islamic law. I read original source texts in Arabic and know the truth for myself. Anonymous comments from haters that are ignorant of historical and sociological realities have no impact on me, or on anyone who can think critically. I have lived in several Muslim countries and with Muslims in the US. The beautiful actions and character I've observed from Muslims in all this experience speak louder than your empty words.
Yes!!
We’re more concerned with them currently burning Christians alive in Nigeria. I could care less what they believe, just stop murdering thousands
What is your opinion on sex slaves?
As a em ex Muslim. @Lex I'm really disappointed in this one. Why with Kanye did you push him to focus on the individual but when this fellow lies about Zionists and Israel you didn't push him back? How can you justify someone spreading lies on your podcast? He also lied about other religions claiming that Islam is the only one that has been preserved but that is neither here nor there... how can you claim that your podcast is about spreading peace and love but not push him back about his lies about Jews having their own country in their ancestral homeland which is what zionism. His lies about apartheid, occupation and genocide are refuted by the facts. Israeli Arabs and the Palestinians are one of the fastest growing demographics in the world...
When Omar talked about his mum brought me to tears and what he said about not allowing anger to turn away from God struck me in particular. I have always been deeply spiritual and losing my father very young hardened my heart to God. I was angry and a child and that was OK. But I am re-exploring faith and it does provide peace and guidance. I do think all religions have a thread of truths to our existence here and now.
I invite you to read the Quran, may God guides you and bless you

The Iddah of Those in Menopause and Those Who do not have Menses
Allah the Exalted clarifies the waiting period of the woman in menopause. And that is the one whose menstruation has stopped due to her older age. Her Iddah is three months instead of the three monthly cycles for those who menstruate, which is based upon the Ayah in (Surat) Al-Baqarah. 228 The same for the young, who have not reached the years of menstruation. Their Iddah is three months like those in menopause.....The same for the young, who have not reached the years of menstruation. ...not even dogs do that
I really don't know much about Islam, but I feel like I learned a bit by watching this. Thanks!

"And whoever seeks a religion other than Islaam, it will never be accepted of him, and in the Hereafter he will be one of the losers." [Aal ‘Imraan 3:85]
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “By the One in Whose hand is my soul, no one of this nation, Jew or Christian, hears of me then dies without having believed in that with which I was sent, but he will be one of the people of the Fire.” Narrated by Muslim, 153.
@Rohit Som Why are you Hindus so obsessed with Muslims, under every comment section I find at least one Hindu harassing Muslims, spreading hate about Islam. Stop being such hateful people, and get over being ruled by the Mughals/Muslim rulers for centuries, instead, you should be thanking them, they made the Indian subcontinent the richest in the world during their rule.
I’m not a religious person but the steadfastness of the Muslims against Western degeneracy is admirable.

Alhamdulillah brother, may Allah keep us steadfast in our deen 😊
@@SheikhAlladeenre supposed to be better than dogs, and the book is there to teach you how.
Also I dont understand your outrage about waiting 3 months before you re-marry. I know we in the west are liberal about anyone being allowed to do anything whenever they want, but lets not pretend that re-marrying within a month after divorce is somehow a sign of a healthy balanced life. Makes me think of men and women who cant be alone with themselves for a whole month so they start a new relationship to keep them too busy to contemplate the miserable state of their mental health. Practically speaking, I think three months would be just the right minimum amount of time to let emotions subside and reorganise yourself before you dive into the next life altering decision.
Those “rules” are there for a reason, and not all of them are punished by eternal hell fire. They serve as advice and guidelines which really make alot more sense then it is given credit for. But we’re too stuck in our hedonistic indulging addictions for us to want to admit that because that’d mean we’d have to work on ourselves. So dont read the book and buy another shiney thing that will give you enjoyment for a three whole seconds before your short attention span pulls you to the next useless crap nobody needs.

Imam Omar Suleiman is the type of Muslim the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) would be proud of. He represents Islam and Muslims in the purest form possible. Thank you to Lex for hosting this powerful podcast

Oh boy!! This is one of my best podcasts. The calmness of Lex and the composure and knowledge of Omar Suleiman is grand. I have listened to this over a week while on the bus and I wished the journey was always longer. It is an outstanding job of how Omar dissects islam and beauty of knowledge. Lex, thank you for being open minded as I got to understand more beautifully. You get an Oscar from me.

Lol...trapped my Muhammad's created delusion
I'm not religious, but I can respect this man. I especially liked the point that there is no images or media coverage regarding Iraq that shows compassion for the Iraqi civilians. At least not that I can remember, giving it hard thought. Heck half of the american movies / Media / Speakers of the war speaks of the horrors soldiers had to endure, and never what horrors they might have done. I've seen some who question the meaning of the war, but that is about it, the suffering of other HUMANS is sorely overlooked.
And what about the killings of each other before the americans came and overthrew sunni sadam Hussein, discrimination against kurds, christians and belittleing of them ? The ongoing fight of sunni and shia people?
@@ferhatozdemir2536 The thing I like about Christians and the European colonizers is that the present generation is atleast shameful for the horrific atrocities their ancestors have created.
@@jeevan88888 indeed. And it was actually against Jesus message. It had to be false propagated by colonizers while there is justification of slavery of non muslims in islam. It s still going on in a modern fashion on the arabic peninsula especially. But muslim scholars and a number of followers turn a blind eye on these atrocities if the perpetrators of the past or present are muslims.
@@ferhatozdemir2536 First apologize to the Armenians before speaking out of your ass about others.
The emphasis on being unable to name at least one victim from Iraq says a lot about us. Out of millions of people suffering, how could we not understand what any of the victims went through? :(
Its crazy this was 3 hours long and I think I would have listened for another 3 hours. I couldn't even tell it was 3 hours. The value of this talk is rewarding. May God reward you both for all the good done via this connection. More and more im seeing Islam as more of a solution to much of the problems in the world, its crazy how lessons taught 1400 years ago are still very impactful today, if anything our modern era needs is better moral character.

Mashallah, a voice of peace in a world full of misunderstandings.
Wow! Thank you for your thoughtful, wise words. Listening as a believer in Christ, I kept thinking, " surely we serve the same God." So much of what you said resonates with the God I sense, when he draws near. One thing you said, when we call upon God, "he is closer than our jugular vein." Powerfull words. Again, Thank you.
ofcourse we worship the same GOD...the only difference is with time Christianity lost the concept of the one n only GOD and got confused in the concept of trinity and taking the words of jesus out of context on that..jesus was a mighty prophet and the message is same by every prophet of the time...i invite you to study islam more..u believe in the old n new testament..also accept the last testament Quran..
so you are saying, God sat around while the nazis gassed MILLIONS and MILLIONS of his followers (jews) to death? He did NOTHING? like after the first few thousand got murdered, He should ve put a stop to it. but no, He did nothing at all. is this what you are suggesting?
@@safyaniqbal2 I'm open to reading the Quran. I also agree that Christians have taken much of what Christ said out of context. The church warped a lot of things into something more palatable to them and which looks more worldly than what I imagine God is calling us to. However, this is what men do. The Christian church has also done many great things in Christ's name. Ultimately, we are only here for a very brief moment. The only thing I am certain of is that no one has it figured out. I'm sure eternity is much different than we are capable of imagining. He spoke in the video about our natural disposition to worship God. I believe anyone who responds to that in earnest, humble prayer and seeks God will find him. Just because some people call that being a different name doesn't make their prayers go unheard. I would bet that there are people who call themselves Christians and Muslims who have never honestly saught after God. Likewise, I believe there are people on both sides who have sought after God and found him. Or, perhaps God found them. I'm not necessarily a universalist I don't think. I believe Christ did make it clear that he was not only sent by God but was God in the flesh. I think the trinity is just a man-mad symbol thats helps illustrate a very complex idea. We see through a dim glass. I have felt the love of God and I pray I spend the rest of my life seeking to experience it and emulate it more and more.
@@Andy_Mark thanks dear, for being so open to everything.
For muslims, Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) is a walking Quran.
Start from reading a book about him, written by a westerner revert muslim Martin lings.
"muhammad: his life based on the earliest sources",
After that you start reading quran and take guidance from your nearest islamic centre if you have any questions.
May GOD. Guide us all aameen
@@safyaniqbal2 I have downloaded two books about Muhammad which were available through my local library. Unfortunately, the one you suggested was not available. I must admit, my knowledge of the Muslim faith is very limited. I'm sure it's very biased because my ignorance means that I only understand it through the scope of American media. I, like many others, am often sickened by the rhetoric I hear on the news and strive to see the world through an impartial lens. However, to say that I'm not at all biased would also be foolish. Hopefully, learning for myself will help. Furthermore, I believe that God's truths can not be understood without him revealing them to you. While one should seek the truth and read the scripture, I have seen and felt a distinct difference from when I am learning scriptures by reading them versus when the spirit of God writes a truth in my heart. Have you read something, perhaps for the 100th time and all of the sudden, it leaps off the page and takes on a whole new meaning? It feels similar to an epiphany except you know it was a gift and not an achievement of your own intellect? If you can empathize with this, it has to raise the question, are we praying to the same God? Truely, isn't the name we call God almost always determined by our parents or geography?
Fantastic guest. So well spoken, well educated and incredibly level headed. I strive to be as calm, cool, and collected this gentlemen is. I’d love to meet him and shake his hand. I have some of my own questions I’d ask.

If u like u can ask n I'm sure many Muslims including myself will try to answer u , if not lead u to so3ne trusted resources to find ur answers
I was raised religious and became very anti-religous in my early 20s. Now I am slightly older and wiser in my 30s it's very interesting for me to hear conversations like this because for a long time I've associated religion in general as being a bad thing. I'm not sure I am ready to become a convert of any faith but I am becoming a lot more open-minded.
Baby steps, as I get older I feel as a Muslim, religion helps make sense of life and everything that comes with it, you realise that a greater power is in control.

I’ve never seen someone with a consistent and genuine smile like this man. Mashallah.
With all that's going on, I need to hear the hope and humility that's shared in this podcast again and again. I keep listening to these two men to keep my hope alive that we all think with our hearts.
SubhanAllah when he was talking about his mom. , it s the same way i feel about my father may Allah have mercy on him, he was very humble and merciful i try to do things and charities for him that i don’t do charity for myself, i pray that Allah accept it from me and unite us all with our loved ones ameen
As someone who was raised Southern Baptist Christian who went to church and simply called myself a Christian, but has become a PRACTITIONER of a non-denominational Christianity and bringing Christ's love to the world through my actions, not my words, to the extent to which I am capable every day, I'm not perfect, I stand with my Muslim brothers and sisters around the world. I pray for peace in Palestine, Syria, Yemen, Iraq, Afghanistan, and everywhere else that global imperialist powers are regularly persecuting Muslims, peace be upon you. I find that Muslims are some of the absolute most respectful and principled people that walk the face of the earth. Great examples are Malcolm X after his return from Mecca, Muhammad Ali, and a great modern example being Khabib Nurmagomedov. Khabib is as principled of a man that anyone could ever hope to become. He never utters a word truly out malice despite being the creme de la creme of combat sports athletes. He was at the very top of the combat world, completely undefeated in his career, and stepped away to take care of his mother, to help his brothers and cousins achieve their own dreams, and once he proved himself to be as amazing of a coach as he was an athlete, he could've had all the money in the world, but stepped away to spend time with his family. Anyone that doesn't understand the type of man that comes from Islam should immerse themselves in the world of Mixed Martial Arts and learn about the men that come from Dagestan. It is absolutely humbling to see. Learning just how similar Islam and Christianity are, despite some major differences, just absolutely woke me up about the beauty of my Muslim brothers and sisters and their love and respect for other people. If you don't know much about Islam, go elsewhere on TH-cam and watch a video about the similarities between Islam and your own religion. Islam and Christianity, in my own opinion, are closer than Judaism, despite the regular misinformation that is pushed by Christian preachers with their own closed minded agendas regarding Israel and the return of Christ. The idea that any Christian will make it into heaven while actively trying to force the return of Christ through supporting violence against Palestinians by Israel is absolutely insane and against the teachings of Christ at every level. Imagine standing in front of God at your judgement and saying "I wanted to support the destruction of Palestine to unite Israel so You could return on the timeline of me and other 'Christians', rather than Your own timeline, my Lord".
Wow! I am amazed to see that there are Christians who think like you Brandon. This is the first for me.
God bless and peace be upon you!
Thank you ❤️ This verse from the Quran comes to my mind when God says “Obelievers! Stand firm for justice as witnesses for Allah even if it is against yourselves, your parents, or close relatives. Be they rich or poor, Allah is best to ensure their interests. So do not let your desires cause you to deviate ˹from justice˺. If you distort the testimony or refuse to give it, then ˹know that˺ Allah is certainly All-Aware of what you do.”
This clearly means always stand for the oppressed no matter they’re religion, for all of Gods creation. Do not do injustice to anyone or we will have to answer to him on the day of judgement! This baffles me when Christian’s can support ethnic cleansing of Palestinian ✝️ and Muslims ☪️ just because of Jesus’s 2nd coming. Do not join evil even if your family or community is taking part in it! God is just and God is for all he’s creation.
Preach preach my brother
The world needs more people like you. May Allah bless you.
