OmarSuleiman

Background

Daniel Haqiqatjou’s primary victims of slander and backbiting are the major scholars of the English-speaking Muslim community in the West and Africa, namely Omar Suleiman, Mufti Menk, and Yasir Qadhi. Of course, the list of his “slander-worthy” scholars and daee’s is long, but these specific individuals have been attacked rather relentlessly by Haqiqatjou and his cronies. 

Of the biggest slanderous accusations against Omar Suleiman, specifically, is that he is secretly pro-LGBT, pro-gay marriage, and/or holds leftist social values. All of these lies have clear cut proof their falsehood. Omar Suleiman and his organization, Yaqeen Institute, have continuously made clear the Islamic orthodox stance on LGBT and the modern issue of gay marriage. Here are only a few of many sources where Suleiman makes clear what Allah SWT and His Prophet ﷺ have made clear in the tradition.

Haram Action

Haqiqatjou has slandered Omar Suleiman on numerous occasions, and his slander continues to this day. Despite Haqiqatjou’s knowledge of the fact that Omar Suleiman does not hold the positions he accuses him of, he continues his slander and lies. The number of instances of slander are numerous and easily accessible online. We did not include them here due to the graphic and slanderous nature of the content.  

Evidence of Haram

The Prophet PBUH said: “The one who starts abusing his fellow Muslim and calling him names bears the sin of both, unless the abused person uses more vulgar phrases than the first”. (Muslim) Imaam al-Nawawi explained this prophetic saying as: “This means that the person who starts insulting a Muslim or calling him names will bear the sin incurred by such an act for both of them, unless the second party uses more severe and vulgar phrases than the first”.
