    Season Finale! Believing in the Unseen with Dr. Omar Suleiman

    In Surat al-Hujurat verse 18, Allah (SWT) says: “Surely Allah knows the Unseen of the heavens and earth. And Allah is All-Seeing of what you do.” Al-Ghaib, or the Unseen, refers to knowledge that is only known to Allah, such as knowledge about the angels and jinn, heaven and hell, and fate and predestination.

When tragedies and disasters occur, it’s understandable to wonder, “Why did God let this happen?” Are natural disasters a form of punishment from God? Are they a warning to turn back to Him? If Allah is Merciful, why does He allow suffering to exist? Join host Mohamad Zaoud as he discusses these questions and more with Sh. Mohammad Elshinawy, a...
