What does it mean that the very first way Allah introduces Himself to you is through mercy? We begin almost every action with “Bismillah Ar-Rahman Ar-Raheem,” but what does it truly mean to say, “In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful”?

From the womb you were formed in, to every act of kindness you’ve ever received, none of it was random. It’s all part of a mercy that surrounds you before you even realize it. One drop sustains this world and 99 are still waiting.

In this episode, Dr. Omar Suleiman reflects on the Names Ar-Rahman, Ar-Raheem, and Ar-Ra’uf, and how Allah’s mercy shapes creation, guides justice, comforts believers, and calls every heart back to Him.

Tasleem is the grand finale of salah—Jannah’s greeting rehearsed on Earth, where you draw peace from As-Salām and send it to the world. "As-salaamu 'alaykum" to your right, then left, spreading the peace you just absorbed.
In this final episode of the series, Dr. Omar Suleiman unpacks why that salaam is followed by triple istighfar and the 33-33-34 rhythm of dhikr, touches upon the one regret every soul has after it passes, and comforts you with the one gift salah gives you that no other deed can replicate.
In this episode, Dr. Omar Suleiman traces every word of the greatest salawat of all time. Then, he spotlights the four most important things to ask for before you end your salah.

Salah Ibrahimiyyah packs the devotion of two prophets into one prayer. Anchored in Prophet Ibrahim's du'a in the desert, it's a callback to the one who wanted us to establish prayer in the first place, and establishes a lifelong connection between you, the Ahl al-Bayt, and every believer on Earth.

The Prophet ﷺ taught the Tashahhud with the care of a surah from the Qur'an. This is the closing ceremony with the King of kings, where greetings arrive bearing gifts: you present your prayer, your character, and your sincerity.
In this episode, Dr. Omar Suleiman traces the precise language of the Prophet ﷺ, from “at-tahiyyatu lillah” to the kalimah that crowns your acts of worship. The sentence that seals your salah is the one you hope will seal your life.

No one lowers themselves for God except that He raises them. No position brings you closer to Allah than sujood, the state of prostration. While you are there, closest to Him, in the middle of your prayer, what words will you whisper? You can make whatever du'as you wish for yourself, in whatever language comes naturally to you.
But in addition to that, we are taught many supplications to purify ourselves. Join Dr. Omar Suleiman to find recitations that bring your sujood to life.
