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 du’a decades ago, and your life and your choices are informed by the prayers, experiences, and circumstances of your ancestors generations before you. Eventually, your life and purpose will inform that of your children’s children as well. What will you do with the cards you’ve been dealt by your ancestors? What cards will you leave behind for your descendants? Captioning provided by Muhsen. SOURCES: Qur’an, 19:31 Qur’an, 24:35 Qur’an, 24:40 Qur’an 21:107 Al-Hikam al-Ataa’iyyah 17: مَا تَرَكَ مِنْ الْجَهْلِ شَيْئًا مَنْ أَرَادَ أَنْ يُحْدُثَ فِي الْوَقْتِ غَيْرُ مَا أَظْهَرَهُ اللَّهُ فِيهِ The one who wants there to appear in the moment other than what Allah has manifested is full of ignorance.

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.
