You may still be alive tomorrow, but this version of your life won’t be.

Your body will change. Your circumstances will change. Your children will grow older. Your parents may not always be here. The person waiting for your apology may eventually stop waiting.

So what happens to all the good we keep telling ourselves we’ll do later?

The call we keep meaning to make. The apology we keep putting off. The time we assume we’ll have with our parents and children. The charity we tell ourselves we’ll give tomorrow.
The Qur’an preserves the plea of someone who ran out of time:

“My Lord, if only You would delay me for a little while, I would give in charity and be among the righteous.” — (Surah Al-Munafiqun, Verse 10)

But the delay never comes.

This isn’t simply a warning about dying suddenly. It’s a reminder that some of the good we postpone depends on having the right person, the right moment, or the right opportunity still in front of us.

In this khutbah, Dr. Omar Suleiman reflects on time, aging parents, growing children, unfinished apologies, and the opportunities for goodness we assume will still be there tomorrow.
What have you been putting off because you assume you’ll have more time?

Shaytan never told Adam and Hawwa (as) to disobey Allah. He told them the forbidden tree was something else: shajarat al-khuld, the tree of eternal life. A good tree.

The command never changed. Only the name did. The Prophet ﷺ warned that this technique would come back at the end of time as one of the signs of the Hour, and it's stranger than it first sounds. It isn't about a generation that stops believing in halal and haram. It's about a generation that keeps both categories perfectly intact and quietly moves things between them. People from this ummah will drink khamr, he ﷺ said, and call it by another name.

Imam al-Ghazali (rh) mapped the same move through the diseases of the heart centuries before anyone said the word “rebrand”. Greed is renamed as ambition. Arrogance has been renamed to confidence. Cutting off your family answers to protecting your peace.

Dajjal is the end of this road, not the beginning of it. He'll rebrand Jannah as the Fire and kufr as imaan. A world that's spent generations learning to accept renamed evil is already rehearsed for him.

Name every major sin you can think of, then ask which ones already answer to something softer. That's the exercise Dr. Omar Suleiman puts to the room, and it's worth doing before you press play.

Our attention has become one of the world's most valuable commodities—and we're paying for it in ways we rarely notice.

In this Focal Point, Imam Tom Facchine explores how the attention economy grew from a simple business model into an industry built to capture our focus, shape our habits, and keep us distracted. More importantly, he asks what all of this means for Muslims trying to live with presence, purpose, and khushoo'.

This episode looks beyond social media addiction to the deeper spiritual consequences of living in an age of constant distraction.

Renad Attalah inspired hope with her cooking videos set in war-torn Gaza. Now, she has sought safety in the Netherlands while her mother remains behind. 

Join Dr. Omar Suleiman to hear from Renad and her mother, Um Firas, learn about what life is like in Gaza as the world moves on, and hear the stories of a mother and daughter separated by a needlessly cruel conflict.

A time will come, the Prophet ﷺ said, when people gather in the masjid and there isn't a single believer among them.

Dr. Omar Suleiman unpacks that warning alongside several others: mosques built to compete rather than to function, mushafs that grow more beautiful while fewer people actually read them, and a Companion who wept after watching someone recite the Qur'an for payment. 

This episode of Signs of the Hour asks a harder question than whether our masjid is beautiful enough. It asks whether there's still a living faith inside it.
