• Dua for Protection: Aʿūdhu bi-wajhillāhi al-Karīm wa bi kalimātillahi al-tāmmāt al-latī lā yujāwizuhunna barrun wa lā fājir min sharri mā yanzilu min al-samāʾ wa min sharri mā yaʿruju fīhā wa min sharri mā dharaʾa fil-arḍ wa min sharri mā yakhruju minhā wa min fitani al-layli wal-nahār wa min ṭawāriq al-layli wal-nahār illā ṭāriqan yaṭruqu bi-khayrin yā Raḥmān
Translation: I seek refuge in Allah’s Noble Countenance and in Allah’s perfect words which neither the righteous nor the disobedient overstep from evil that descends from the heavens and evil that ascends to it and evil that is created in the earth and the trials of night and day and the visitors of night and day save the visitor that visits goodness upon us, O Most Merciful!

Did you know that telling the truth is a superpower? It sets you on the path to Paradise and fills your heart with light. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said, “Truthfulness leads to righteousness and righteousness leads to Paradise.”
In this special episode of SoulFood, we continue with the second half of our conversation with Ustadh Omar Popal. We talk about people who act like God's gatekeepers to limit other people's access to God, Prophetic care and mercy, and the blessings that are passed down through the spiritual connection of the Sanad (chains of transmission).
In this special episode of SoulFood, we engage in a lively and informal conversation with Ustadh Omar Popal. We talk about experiencing the love of Allah ﷻ as a more powerful emotion than fear, how Ust. Omar fell in love with sacred knowledge, and in closing, he mentions a powerful story about the importance of honoring all of God's creation.
Allah ﷻ says, "Inform My servants that I am indeed the Forgiving, the Merciful." [Quran 15:49]
The noblest station in Paradise is to be with our Prophet ﷺ and to accompany him.
