About this episode

The city of Damascus in Syria, and the Umayyad Mosque within it, are immensely significant in the history — and future — of the ummah. This is the city where Yahya (as) was buried, the Prophet ﷺ traded, Bilal (ra) and Abu Darda (ra) settled, in which Salah al-Din Ayyubi (rh) was raised, and where Isa (as) will return and pray. Dr. Omar Suleiman explains these and many other reasons why this is a place revered by the believers.
