About this lecture

In this comprehensive lecture, Sheikh Omar Suleiman takes an in-depth look at Jahannam (Hellfire) — covering its descriptions in the Qur'an and Sunnah, the qualities and deeds of its people, and the philosophical questions surrounding its eternity. Far from being a lecture meant to instill despair, it presents the remembrance of Hellfire as a powerful spiritual tool to overcome sin, remove hypocrisy, and strengthen one's drive toward Allah. The lecture concludes with practical steps — from sincere belief and du'a to using one's faculties in the path of Allah — that protect a person from the Fire and draw them closer to Paradise.

Dr. Omar Suleiman is the Founder and President of the Yaqeen Institute for Islamic Research and an Adjunct Professor of Islamic Studies at Southern Methodist University. Born in New Orleans to Palestinian parents, he began traditional Islamic study in 2000, spending years learning in the UAE, Jordan, and Malaysia, and completed a PhD in Islamic Thought and Civilization from the International Islamic University of Malaysia. He served as Imam of the Jefferson Muslim Association in New Orleans, where he led interfaith rebuilding efforts after Hurricane Katrina, and is now resident scholar of the Valley Ranch Islamic Center in Irving, Texas, and Co-Chair Emeritus of Faith Forward Dallas. One of the most influential Muslim figures in America, he is known for his Ramadan series, civil rights activism, and prolific scholarship bridging tradition and contemporary life.
