From Enemies to Brothers: The Miracle of Unity | Lecture by Dr. Omar Suleiman

What is the foundation of true unity? Is it shared heritage, culture, or even family ties? This lecture by Dr. Omar Suleiman highlights that genuine unity is rooted in piety and the collective striving for goodness. Learn why the most effective way to help an oppressor is to stop their oppression—and how this principle becomes the basis for working together in truth. This isn’t just a discussion about community; it’s a profound challenge to redefine your understanding of unity and solidarity.
