What did your Tahajjud plant for you?

When the world slept, you stood in the stillness of the night, whispering to your Lord. The tears you shed in secret watered a garden unseen—one that now grows in your grave, lighting it with peace. While others fear what awaits them, you have a secret gift, waiting to be unveiled.

Tahajjud is not just a prayer—it’s an invitation to nearness. And in the Barzakh, the one who stood before Allah in the night will stand closest to Him in eternity.

Is your knowledge making you worse?

You can memorize verses, master texts, even preach to others—and still be far from Allah. So what kind of knowledge actually purifies the soul?

In this Midnight Majlis reflection, Dr. Omar Suleiman and Sh. Yaser Birjas explore Ibn Hazm’s advice about knowledge, ego, and the difference between true guidance and performative scholarship.

Why was the Prophet ﷺ made to forget the exact date of Laylatul Qadr? When is the benefit and the mercy of Allah for us in that? 

Just because you don’t see it doesn’t mean it’s not working. Your du’a can strengthen the feet of the oppressed, ease a soul in the grave, or even shift history itself. The martyrs of Gaza may not have seen the victory they set in motion, just as Sumayya (ra) never saw Mecca embrace Islam. But in the Barzakh, they may be greeted with news of their impact.

And what about your loved ones who have passed? The Prophet ﷺ said du’a reaches them like gifts of light, easing burdens and raising ranks.

If you knew how much your du’a mattered, would you ever stop making it?

Who will you be with in the Barzakh? Beyond just your family, you will be reunited with those who were your closest friends in this life.

But pause: is this a good thing or a bad thing? Are your friends from the righteous, who encourage you to good, or do you know deep down that they urge you away from your faith? The company you keep will be a major component of your eternity, so choose wisely.

What is the impact of a sincere du'a made for another?

Our lives are an intricate network of interactions, big and small. For those who pray for each other, even just by asking for the forgiveness of the believing men and women, there is an unimaginably big impact across time and space. One day, you'll meet those you prayed for, as well as those who prayed for you. And even if you never met in this life, the bond you share as members of the same ummah is unbreakable.

Your real strength isn’t in your body.

In this second night of Midnight Majlis, Dr. Omar Suleiman and Sh. Yaser Birjas reflect on chapter 3, “The Mind and Repose” — and how conquering your ego is the only path to real inner peace. Dive in as Ibn Hazm (rh) dismantles every false measure of pride we cling to — strength, speed, power, popularity — and redirects our gaze to the only virtue that matters: the intellect used in service of God.

FOMO keeps us chasing, comparing, and feeling like we’re always behind. But what are we actually afraid of missing?

In the first session of this year’s Midnight Majlis, Dr. Omar Suleiman and Sh. Yaser Birjas unpack Ibn Hazm’s reflections on anxiety, comparison, and why setting higher aspirations for your soul is the only way to escape the trap of constantly feeling left out.

Because the real question is: What if you’re missing out on something far greater?

When an odd night meets a Friday, is it Laylatul Qadr?

Some scholars say that when the best night aligns with the best day, it holds extra weight. But does that mean tonight is the night?

In this brief reminder, Dr. Omar Suleiman explores what happens when blessed times coincide, why scholars emphasize this alignment, and how we should approach it spiritually—because if tonight carries the weight they describe, it could be the Laylatul Qadr we’ve been seeking.
