When you make Istikharah du'a, you're asking Allah to guide you towards the right choice, a special consultation with Him. But if the results don't turn out good for you, why was it facilitated? What was the point of your Istikharah? Ibn al-Qayyim said, “If the veils were lifted and you could see behind the scenes what Allah does out of kindness for you, your heart would melt out of love for Him…”...

Despite your desperate pleas, why does it feel like Allah isn't listening to your duas? The answer is heavy with the wisdom of the All-Knowing, and touches upon circumstance, intent, and the hidden ways Allah lays out paths for you that you could've never imagined.  Sometimes, the ability to pour your heart out into du'a is itself a blessing, and other times, the greatest reward is in patient...

Some people have the trial of discovering Islam for the first time later in life. Others who were born Muslim, however, may find themselves at a point where they ask, "Am I really a Muslim or was I just raised that way?" The act of renewing your faith can be just as hard as discovering it for the very first time. What both of these cases have in common, in whatever circumstances or trials that the...

Whether you’re burdened by providing for your family, caring for your loved ones, or carrying the emotional wounds of others, Allah promises great reward in carrying the burdens of others and maintaining ties of kinship. And if you turn away from all of that, Allah promises loss, not just of reward but of self.  Host : Omar Suleiman Credit : Yaqeen Institute Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/pri...

Is it better to be tested with wealth or poverty? Are you better off because you work harder than others? Is it your fault if you're in poverty? How can we understand the blessing of rizq, while also understanding the blessings of being poor? It all starts from a single truth: Allah has already decreed your rizq for you.  Host : Omar Suleiman Credit : Yaqeen Institute Hosted on Acast. See aca...

Have you ever felt like you hate the body that you're in, or that you wish you were more beautiful? Beauty is more often a test than a blessing, and true beauty lies in what is beneath the surface. Allah has fashioned you to be uniquely you, and that includes your form, but He doesn't look at your appearance, but your heart. And what's on the inside makes the outside even more beautiful.  Hos...

There is no greater blessing after faith than good health. Good health gives you the opportunity to strive in the way of Allah and earn blessings. But what if it wasn't decreed for you, and you are living with disability or illness? Allah has placed reward in both ability and disability, and there is always something to strive for in every circumstance.  Host : Omar Suleiman Credit : Yaqeen I...

How much control do you have over the qualities you possess? What aspects of your personality are innate, and what are you to cultivate? Everyone is born with a set of gifts and talents and given the opportunity to nurture them. Will you nurture them in a way to bring you closer to Allah, or will they draw you further away?  Host : Omar Suleiman Credit : Yaqeen Institute   Hosted on Acas...

Your family can be your greatest blessing or your greatest test. You may pray for a peaceful family, and for Allah to protect them, but sometimes conflict comes from within. Depending on your upbringing, you can feel strength and confidence from your caretakers, or a strong internal critic from unfair parenting or expectations. But there is wisdom in the circumstance of your family, and the person...

Birth is one of Allah’s greatest signs and miracles for us, and it encompasses so many blessings for you and your family. What exactly is the Rizq associated with birth? What is the spiritual significance of the practices that we perform at birth, from Adhan, to Tahneek, and even the Aqeelah?    Host : Omar Suleiman Credit : Yaqeen Institute Hosted on Acast.

Of all time periods, why did Allah choose for you to be born in this one? Would it have been easier if you were born at the time of the Prophet (s)? How does your time period impact your life’s purpose? You are inevitable. You are the answer to someone’s dua decades ago, and your life and your choices are informed by the prayers, experiences, and circumstances of your ancestors generations before...

This story doesn’t start with you. It starts with Al-Lawh al-Mahfoodh, the sacred, preserved tablets that carry all of decree until the Final Hour. All of existence, our history, and our future, stored in one place. The darkness of the world, and all of its light. If all has been written, how do I have free will? Are my choices my own?
