The Most Amazing Wedding I’ve Ever Been To | Dr. Omar Suleiman’s South Africa Tour 2025

At a wedding in a Syrian refugee example, Dr. Omar Suleiman experienced a powerful example of what it means to be an ummah.

Allah says about the Muslims, “You are the best ummah (community) ever raised for humanity” (Qur’an, 3:110). What does it mean to truly be an ummah? How are we bound together by our love for our leader, the Prophet ﷺ, and adhering to his example?

This is an introduction to the Determined Ummah series of lectures from Dr. Omar Suleiman’s South Africa tour, in which he explores the profound concept of being an ummah.
