Ep.10 He Will Give You What You Hope For | Dhul Hijjah | Dr. Omar Suleiman & Sh. Ali Hammuda

Love is proven by sacrifice. In the final episode of The Book of Heart Softeners, we reflect on what it truly means to prefer Allah over the comforts, desires, and distractions of this world. Whether it’s leaving the warmth of your bed for prayer, giving away wealth, seeking sacred knowledge, or resisting your desires, every sincere sacrifice is seen by Allah—and never goes unrewarded. Join Sh. Omar Suleiman and Sh. Ali Hammuda for a powerful conclusion to the series on what it means to live for Allah sincerely and to trust that He will give you everything you hoped for and more.

Ep.9 All You Have to Do is Acknowledge Allah | Dhul Hijjah | Dr. Omar Suleiman & Sh. Ali Hammuda

In this episode of The Book of Heart Softeners, we reflect on the most fundamental truth Allah asks of us: to acknowledge Him alone. Every human being was created with an innate recognition of their Creator, yet many spend their lives suppressing that reality. As Arafah arrives, this episode examines what it means to renew our covenant with Allah through sincerity, gratitude, and remembrance. What do we truly want most? And does the direction of our lives reflect it? Join Sh. Omar Suleiman and Sh. Ali Hammuda as they praise the mercy of a Lord who asks so little from us compared to all that He gives. https://yaqeeninstitute.org NOTE: Only vocals were used in the making of the soundtrack.

Ep.7 Save Yourself with Small Acts | Dhul Hijjah Series | Dr. Omar Suleiman & Sh. Ali Hammuda

No good deed is too small when it’s done sincerely for Allah.  In this episode of The Book of Heart Softeners, we reflect on the Prophet’s ﷺ advice: “Save yourself from the Fire with even half a date in charity.” Small acts of worship, hidden moments of generosity, and consistent deeds that seem insignificant in this world may become the very things that shelter and save a person on the Day of Judgment. This conversation explores the beauty of steady righteousness and the mercy of a Lord who multiplies even the smallest sacrifices made for His sake.  Join Sh. Omar Suleiman and Sh. Ali Hammuda as they reflect on how ordinary deeds, done consistently and sincerely, can lead to extraordinary reward in the hereafter.

Ep.6 You Will Drown in Your Worst Deeds | Dhul Hijjah Series | Dr. Omar Suleiman & Sh. Ali Hammuda

If we allow ourselves to sink into sin in dunya, then we will drown on Judgment Day.  In this episode of The Book of Heart Softeners, we reflect on the terrifying imagery of people drowning in their own sweat according to the weight of their deeds, while others are sheltered beneath the shade of their charity and sincerity. As the heat of the sun, the crowds of humanity, and the nearness of Jahannam converge, one question rises above all else: what have we prepared to protect ourselves on that Day? This conversation explores the acts beloved to Allah—private charity, resisting temptation, tears shed in secret, love for His sake—and how small moments of sincerity become cooling shade when nothing else can offer relief. Join Sh. Omar Suleiman and Sh. Ali Hammuda to remember that every sacrifice made for Allah in this world becomes shelter in the next.

Ep.5 How You Will Be Resurrected | Dhul Hijjah Series | Dr. Omar Suleiman & Sh. Ali Hammuda

"Every soul will stand before Allah stripped of status and possessions, left only with their deeds. The reality of resurrection comes into stark focus through the Prophet’s ﷺ description of humanity rising barefoot, naked, and overwhelmed by the severity of the Day of Judgment. As the illusion of worldly status fades away, the only garments that remain will be given to the people who clothed others, concealed faults, comforted the grieving, and chose sincerity over status. Join Sh. Omar Suleiman and Sh. Ali Hammuda as they reflect on this moment of resurrection, the fear of standing before Allah, and how to keep Judgment Day in mind in our daily lives.
