Omar Suleiman Wife

Since Imam Suleiman has made his family life private and off all his social media accounts. He made this known in an interview. Watch below;

@lifemapsofficial Sheikh Omar Suleiman speaks of his wife with so much love and respect Masha Allah. Islam teaches us to be good to our wives. I don't understand where some Asian men think it's ok to be cruel to their wives and treat them like slaves. It's completely wrong and they will have to answer to Allah for this. #muslimtiktok #muslim #quran #ramadan #muslimah #islamicreminders #allahuakbar #prophetmuhammad #hijab #jannah #palestine #islamicpost #deen #makkah #allah #mylordsendmeback #onetruepurpose ♬ original sound – Life Maps Official
