What If It's Too Late? | Why Me? EP. 25 | Dr. Omar Suleiman | A Ramadan Series on Qadar

Ramadan is flying by. Automate your donations for the last 10 nights: yqn.io/fday
The measure of your life is not in how many years you live, but in how well you live it. Are you helping others, giving generously, and building a positive legacy? Or are you wasting time and neglecting doing any good? Many narrations indicate a connection between good deeds and a prolonged life. Others warn of the danger of reaching old age without pleasing Allah. Which category will you fall into?

As we venture into the space of producing higher quality media, we’ve worked hard to make sure that our compliance with our religious ethics is not sacrificed. While Yaqeen has always produced vocals for our Ramadan series, this series was unique in that it also included the story of a family in the background. Our talented production team worked with our scholars to ensure that all actors were in proper hijab, and that all gender interactions were only by Mahrams in real life. We’re grateful to the team for its wonderful effort, and grateful to the families that agreed to participate.

[@ummabdulrahmaan]

As Salam alaykum wa ramatullah wa barakatuh I love that been a revert to Islam the thirst for knowledge its bigger but we don't have that much time to spare nursery the kids too.

[@rabiaseharanwar4265]

Assalam o alaikum I heard that one shouldn’t ask for breaking the relationship in duas, can I please ask if a wife is not happy with her marriage and husband and don’t want to be a sinner by disliking or disobeying her husband in any way so really wants to get out of it but can’t do so, can she ask to make things easy for her so she can get divorce. Is it still haram or sinful for her to do this dua? Jazak Allah kher

[@khalidadubosecoaching]

@rabiaseharanwar4265 divorce isn’t consider breaking ties of kinship (which is the dua you shouldn’t make and won’t be accepted). If you are considering seeking a divorce for a valid reason, you can always go to Allah and seek His council. You can pray Istikara and say the dua and Allah will show you what path is correct. Divorce isn’t a sin in Islam despite the cultural and societal stigma of it. May Allah guide you to what is best for everyone involved, Ameen!

[@nimra1984]

During Laylat ul Qadr... When Allah is accepting duas, May yours be one of them. When Allah is forgiving His servants, May you be one of them. When Allah is showering His mercy, May it fall upon you & when you meet your friends & relatives in Jannah, May I be one of them. (Ameen Ya Rabbul A'lameen) ❤❤❤❤

In sha allah you’re in this position now because there is something only you can do for this world. When our intentions are pure we can pull through and do better than we ever imagined. Disability isn’t the stop of something, but it opens doors to the same paths, and new paths, with more blessings

[@Shaydarr]

The sad feeling of Ramadan leaving us is so real...So as the feeling of us going through the upcoming days without listening to these Ramadan series 💔

[@Halalwood]

As a Nigerian watching this series makes me think those that we've lost as life continues. If Allah grant me Jannah, I will beg him to show me a full documentary of this world from the first of it's people starting from Prophet to last person to die on earth because watching this series makes me wonder how life is transient within a second your Qadr will change. We started watching his grandfather, the difficulties of labour, the young age of his foster father, the struggles of his foster father, then comes to him as a foster child to his family. So watching this reminds me of this adage work hard today and enjoy tomorrow.

Assalamu Alaikum. Alhumdulillah. Thank you, Dr. Omar and the Yaqeen team (your families, too) for another beautiful and thought provoking series. Self reflection, seeking tawbah, and increasing my love of Allah SWT, the holy Qur’an, and the Prophet Muhammad Sallahu Alaihi Wa-sallam have been my primary goals this Ramadan. I humbly ask the ummah of Prophet Muhammad Sallahu Alaihi Wa-sallam to remember me during your supplications as I continue to remember all of you during my duas.
