How You Should Eat While Gaza Starves | Khutbah by Dr. Omar Suleiman

As we see Gaza being starved, a deeper look at how hunger was used as a tool of war against the Prophet ﷺ and his companions. How did that shape how Islam frames hunger as a crime rather than a natural consequence of disparity? And what are some relevant duas from the Prophet ﷺ regarding hunger?

What does it mean to eat and enjoy food while our brothers and sisters are dying because they’re being denied a basic human need? Dr. Omar Suleiman looks at the morality of eating while keeping Gaza’s suffering close to heart.
