When It’s Hard to say Alhamdulilah

Omar Suleiman emphasizes the importance of praising Allah (Alhamdulillah) in every situation, whether in triumph or in hardship.

He reflects on how easy it is to say "Alhamdulillah" when receiving blessings, but how much more rewarding it is to say it during times of difficulty and loss.

Suleiman highlights the significance of maintaining this gratitude in life’s hardest moments, as demonstrated by the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and in the final testimony of an innocent man, Marcelis Williams, before his execution.

The speech encourages deep trust in Allah’s wisdom, especially during trials, and stresses the ultimate test of faith is praising Allah in moments of pain and distress.
