Omar Suleiman's interest in angels began with a fascination with the angel Jibril (Gabriel).
He spent two years studying Jibril's interactions with prophets, using the Quran and hadiths.
This led him to explore the broader realm of angels and their relationship with humanity.
He noted most Muslims are fascinated by the topic of angels, and he was inspired to create a series about them.
This series ended up coincidentally being recorded during the COVID-19 pandemic, a time of isolation.

Episode notes
In Surat al-Hujurat verse 18, Allah (SWT) says: “Surely Allah knows the Unseen of the heavens and earth. And Allah is All-Seeing of what you do.” Al-Ghaib, or the Unseen, refers to knowledge that is only known to Allah, such as knowledge about the angels and jinn, heaven and hell, and fate and predestination.
Why do we struggle to connect with and be motivated by the Unseen? Can we prove the existence of the Unseen? How can connecting with the Unseen world help us come closer to God?
Join host Mohamad Zaoud for the season four finale of DoubleTake with Dr. Omar Suleiman, founder of Yaqeen Institute.
