When Exposing Yourself Is “Empowerment” | Signs of the Hour Ep. 23

About this lecture

In this episode of *Signs of the Hour*, Dr. Omar Suleiman explores the Islamic concept of *hayā* (modesty and shame) as a major sign of the Day of Judgment, explaining that true *hayā* encompasses far more than clothing — it is a comprehensive spiritual state connected directly to faith itself. He draws on Quranic verses and prophetic hadith to address the dangers of publicizing sins, the social decay caused by the normalization of immorality, and the famous hadith of "clothed yet naked" women, contextualizing it as a diagnosis of broader societal collapse. Viewers are challenged to examine their own roles — as consumers, funders, or promoters — in a culture that increasingly treats shamelessness as empowerment.
