Omar Suleiman is a Muslim scholar and activist. One of CNN’s Top 25 Muslim American Change-Makers, Suleiman was recognized by the Antiracist Research and Policy Center of American University as an
honoree to best embody the abolitionist commitment to social change. This and other accolades, recognise his work surrounding immigration reform, disability inclusivity, and police brutality. Currently the Resident Scholar of the Valley Ranch Islamic Center, Suleiman works to educate regarding Islamic values which may be used in the pursuit of liberation.

Since 1823, the Union has been promoting debate and discussion not just in Oxford University, but across the globe.
The Oxford Union is deeply grateful and encouraged by the messages of support in response to our determination to uphold free speech. During our 200 year history, many have tried to shut us down.

Your support is critical in enabling The Oxford Union to continue its mission without interruption and without interference. You can support the Oxford Union here: oxford-union.org/supportus
A beautiful speech by Dr Omar Sulaiman with no holds barred. The recitation of the Holy Qur’an at the beginning and the end was inspiring and eloquent.
O you who have believed, do not take your fathers or your brothers as friends if they have preferred disbelief over belief. And whoever does so among you - then it is those who are the wrongdoers. Quran 9:23
Beautifully said ❤🥹Omar suleiman is such breath of fresh air for our ummah may Allah preserve him and protect him
Amin sum amin
he is a fitna for the ummah
Ameen Allahumma ameen.
When he isn’t participating in LGBT pagan rituals perhaps
@@CraigTheBrute-pf8zhDo not spread lies and rumors. It will come to haunt you on the day of Judgement. Be like master chief, and teach yourself speak only when necessary, Spartan!
The Prophet ﷺ told us the most successful people on the day of Judgement are the ones who spoke little and didn’t speak ill about others and didn’t meddle in other people’s business.
May Allah (S.W.T.) bestow upon you His Blessings and Guidance; Ameen.
Wonderful speech, I'm in awe. Congratulations to President Matthew for having such a distinguished speaker. ❤
May Allah bless and protect Dr Omar Suleiman.
Allah Huma Aameen🙏🏻🙏🏻
O you who believe! do not take the Jews and the Christians for friends; they are friends of each other; and whoever amongst you takes them for a friend, then surely he is one of them; surely Allah does not guide the unjust people. Quran 5:51
@@moholah3745
أَوْلِيَآءَ ۘ means “allies, protectors, defenders” in this context, not friends.
The evidence is that Allah says “(Lawful to you in marriage) are chaste women from the believers and chaste women from those who were given the Scripture (Jews and Christians)” (The Noble Quran 5:5) and also ““And of His signs is that He created for you from yourselves mates that you may find tranquillity in them; and He placed between you affection and mercy.” (The Noble Quran 30:21)
So it is not permissible to take Jews or Christian nations as protectors or allies, but it is permissible to have affection or love for individual Jews or Christians.

Believers! Do not take unbelievers as friends over fellow believers. Would you give Allah a clear reason to punish you? Quran 4:144
Sheikh Omar Suleiman never fails to amaze me. A man that isn't afraid to speak about the truth regardless of his audience. His speech is clear and he states every word with confidence.
I am sure many people will search about Islam after this. There is no doubt about it. May Allah guide every person. ❤
Ameen
Allahumma Ameen, may Allah swt grant us the understanding and to implement living true Islamic values Ameen
im editing my orginal comment criticizing omar hes based now
He might be like a Angel, messenger & a scholar. Mashallah! I appreciate all the messages💖
@@heaven33957 what the hell??? this guy is ahlul bidah and you say he is like a nabi! fear Allah
Brilliant! Powerful! Thank you for being brave and eloquent, Sheikh Omar Suleiman . . .
Dr Omar Suleiman you are a great example to this Ummah, and it is a delight to listen to you as always. Thank you for what has become my favourite speech of yours to date and for communicating your thoughts so eloquently. This 17 year old Muslimah strives to become an inspiration just as you are. May Allah preserve and protect you اللَّهم آمين
Best Oxford Union address I have seen .. eloquent, powerful & heart warming 🤲🏾
My man can speak for hours and I can listen in peace
I’m very grateful that I’m alive to learn from Dr. Omar Suleiman and May Allah reward him.
*_"May Allah reward him"_* care to describe the worst case scenario for Dr. Omar Suleiman or any other beautiful human if Allah judges that they failed this test of life?
Ameen ❤❤❤
Aameen summa Aameen ❤
Such a wonderful and intelligent person mashallah. Every single word out of his mouth was smart, thoughtful and in place. Wish all men could be like that
A liberating and timeless speech! How wonderfully refreshing 💕Thank you! I will stand tall, because you expressed how I actually feel and not now the world perceives me as a Muslim. We love you all… for always being there just inspiring us to love one another for the sake of God! ❤
You can tell that this speech is going to age so well. A few decades from now, people are gonna remember this as one of the moments in the early twenty-first century that changed profoundly how Islam is viewed in the West, causing a significant positive ripple effect, bi idnillah
Bi'idhNiLLAH ❤
@adeelahrmir7788
I doubt that since the typical islamic terrorist group 'Hamas' attacked the people of Israel.
I think Sulieman's speech makes him sound like Homer Simpson, *"D'OH!'*
Very eloquent and profound speech. May Allah SWT protect you and continue to make you an instrument for Islam to be understood recognized by non-muslims!
Understood and recognised? As in submitted to eventually, right? Have this thoughtful sounding, seemingly equitable, sugarcoated version of Islam delivered to you, develop a sense of trust in it, think it's real and actually applied, develop some more trust, and either drift off because you've had your flirtation or hang around and be snared. Bit by bit the illusion will recede and the reality will emerge. What do understand now?
I haven’t listened to something as coherent and to the point as this in a long time!
Islamophobia has resulted in a situation in which Muslims are persecuted, even if they are the ones confronted with subjectivity. This has occurred in Myanmar, where for the past 40 years, all military and civilian governments have repeatedly urged Muslims to flee their homelands. Bangladesh has been sheltering refugees for almost 40 years, yet the issue is not given the political prominence it deserves, and the Myanmar government literally promotes viciousness without hesitation. To some extent, the same holds true for the dispute between Israel and Palestine, Syria, and Yemen.
Yet, Muslims continue relegate non-Muslims to second class citizenship, subject them to Islam and persecute them with impunity in Muslim-majority countries.
SubhanAllah, it was beautiful to listen Dr. Omar. Thanks Oxford Union for inviting this great man. May Allah bless him.
What a wonderful speech delivered by Omar Suleiman..!!
The devil loves your comment... Maybe you should start flying his rainbow flag so he will know you're one of them.
Believers! Do not take unbelievers as friends over fellow believers. Would you give Allah a clear reason to punish you? Quran 4:144
SubhanAllah, beautiful it was. So proud of my Muslim brother, Omar Suleiman!

SubhanAllah beautiful speech Salaam to Omar Suleiman and everyone in audience and all beautiful people
Allah said: You are the best nation produced [as an example] for mankind. You enjoin what is right and forbid what is wrong and believe in Allah. If only the People of the Scripture had believed, it would have been better for them. Among them are believers, but most of them are defiantly disobedient. (Ali 'Imran [3] : 110)
I was waiting for this video and it is absolutely worth the wait
God strengthen and bless you sir. We are so proud of you ❤
A beautiful speech, but the only sad thing I noticed is how empty the chamber is from none Muslims, even though it fills to the rim on other occasions and subjects
A very sad thing to miss Wallah
Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge,
Not many people do what you are doing really appreciate it👍
Grace, elegance, character and knowledge is how I describe Dr. Omar Suleiman.
Alhamdulillah thumma Alhamdulillah. Beautiful Speech. May Allah bless Dr Omar and increase him in knowledge and wisdom. Amin
Ma Shaa Allah
Wow a speechless speech, may Allah protect Dr Omar Suleiman
Recommendation for change in US economic system:
1. There is no electricity bill in Libya; electricity is free for all its citizens.
2. There is no interest on loans, banks in Libya are state-owned and loans given to all its citizens at 0% interest by law.
3. Housing is considered a human right in Libya - Gaddafi vowed that his parents would not get a house until everyone in Libya had a home. Gaddafi’s father died while him, his wife and his mother were still living in a tent.
4. All newlyweds in Libya receive $60,000 Dinar (US$50,000) by the government to buy their first apartment so to help start up the family.
5. Education and medical treatments are free in Libya. Before Gaddafi only 25% of Libyans were literate. Today the figure is 83%.
6. Should Libyans want to take up farming careers, they would receive farming land, a farming house, equipments, seeds and livestock to kick-start their farms - all for free.
7. If Libyans cannot find the education or medical facilities they need in Libya, the government funds them to go abroad for it - not only free, but they also get US$2,300/month for accommodation and car allowance.
8. If a Libyan buys a new car from Libya, the government subsidized 50% of the price.
9. The price of petrol in Libya is only $0.14 per liter.
10. Libya has no external debt and its reserves amount to $150 billion - now frozen globally.
11. If a Libyan is unable to get employment after graduation, the state would pay the average salary of the profession as if he or she is employed, until employment is found.
12. A portion of Libyan oil sale is credited directly to the bank accounts of all Libyan citizens.
13. A mother who gives birth to a child receives US$5,000 ;
14. 40 loaves of bread in Libya costs only $0.15 ;
15. 25% of Libyans have a University degree;
16. Gaddafi carried out the world’s largest irrigation project, known as the Great Man-Made River project, to make water readily available throughout the desert country. The water is free of charge.
Prior to the international sanction placed on Gaddafi & Libya in the 1980s, the country was one of the richest in the world by GDP per capita - with a living standard higher than Japan. It was the richest in Africa before the revolution.
The living standard - GDP per capita is $11,314 for Libya. One cannot claim the Libyans are poor if they live better than many of the Western citizens. Gaddafi always looked after the average Libyan.
A country’s wealth used to depend on how much gold it had in the treasury, not how many dollars it traded. Libya also has 144 tons of gold. The UK, for example, has twice as much, but ten times the population.
“If Gaddafi had intent to try to re-price his oil or whatever else the country was selling on the global market and accepts something else as a currency or maybe launches a gold dinar currency. Any move such as that would certainly not be welcomed by the power elite today, who are responsible for controlling the world’s central banks,” says Anthony Wile, founder and chief editor of the Daily Bell.
17. Under Gaddafi’s oil-revenue-sharing program, each Libyan gets $500 (DOLLARS) dumped into his or her bank account, each month.
18. Women in Libya have equal rights, not only as a philosophy, but also in practice.
19. Libyans have a direct participatory democracy based on People’s Conferences that puts other “democracies” to shame.
I was waiting for this! Thank you!
Excellent speech
SubhaanAllah ❤ So Beautiful... So True... So Valuable to Understand to Unite Mankind💕💕💕
Thank you so much! 🙏🏻
Very well said 👏🏼👏🏼
Allah give you jazakallahu e khair and keep you safe from harm Aameen Allahumma Aameen 💐
Masha Allah ❤ Dr. Omar
It was really nice speech.
If you have an open heart it is clear that Quran is an affirmation for the pervious holy books and give recognition to all prophets before prophet Mohammed (s.a.w.)
The quran denies the very nature of who Jesus claimed to be. That's not an affirmation of the bible, or of the old testament prophets that point toward Jesus.
If you had an open heart, you'd see that.
@@ericfeldkamp3788 provide evidence jesus (PBUH) claimed to be any other thing than a prophet.
@@ericfeldkamp3788 Jesus claimed to be a prophet, a man sent by God according to the bible. Only Muslims follow his example today, he will cast you out amongst the other polytheists during his second coming.
Such eloquence, such elegance, such succinct speech and the respect shown is unmatched. What an incredible human being with the mind of a preacher, researcher, activist and guru all wrapped in one. May Allah SWT bless you and your family with abundance in wealth, health and knowledge. Just outstanding as always. I kept the video on loop to make sure I capture this speech in all its glory! Wonderful job Dr. Suleiman! As always tabaraka Allah

In the practice......
There are practically no more Christians in the Middle East, many of them had to flee due to radicalism and persecution.
I remember Najashi 1. Drew a line between Muslims and Christians also 2. earlier for me, light emitting from Sun in his roof was split into two / several Rays.
