Why Am I Rich or Poor? | Why Me? | EP. 8 | Dr. Omar Suleiman | A Ramadan Series on Qadar

This Ramadan, let your rizq raise a voice for the ummah. https://yqn.io/utw

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.

Al-Hikam al-Ataa’iyyah 93:

مَتَى أَعْطَاكَ أَشْهَدَكَ بِرَّهُ، وَمَتَى مَنَعَكَ أَشْهَدَكَ قَهْرَهُ؛ فَهُوَ فِي كُلِّ ذَلِكَ مُتَعَرِّفٌ إلَيْك وَمُقْبِلٌ بِوُجُودِ لُطْفِهِ عَلَيْك

When He gives, He shows you His Kindness; when He deprives, He shows you His Power. And in all that, He is making Himself known to you and coming to you with His Gentleness.

Note: Only vocals were used in the making of the soundtrack.

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.
