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.

Over 500 miles away from Medina, the Prophet ﷺ watched with miraculous sight as 3 of his most beloved Companions fell in the battle of Mu’tah. Zayd ibn al-Harithah (ra), Ja’far ibn Abi Talib (ra), and Abdullah ibn Rawahah (ra) all played unique roles in Islam, and meant so much to the Prophet ﷺ. Join Dr. Omar Suleiman as he visits the site of Mu’tah to reflect on their lives with the Prophet ﷺ and their sacrifice for the success of the ummah. We can't do this without you.
