There are forerunners in every age and circumstance. They rise to the occasion, and inspire a generation. They are the firsts that are chosen to lead the way for humanity. In this series, we will go through not only the famous firsts in Islamic history, but the firsts that are distinguished in the hereafter. Join Sh. Omar Suleiman weekly as he dives into stories of the Sahaba (ra), the first believers, with emphasis on how they dealt with being the firsts of their kind and how we can aspire to be like them.

Zayd Ibn Haritha's (ra) nickname was “the beloved of the beloved ﷺ”. The character of the Prophet ﷺ is exhibited in relationships he had with people before Islam was revealed, and his relationship with Zayd (ra) is one of them. Zayd (ra) was the first freed slave to become a Muslim. His life and the choices he made exemplify what it means to love the Prophet ﷺ. Tune in to episode 12 of the Firsts with Sh. Omar Suleiman as he talks about Zayd Ibn Haritha (ra). Sign up to receive lecture notes in your inbox: http://bit.ly/2U9W5nT Click SUBSCRIBE for more great content!
