Why Do I Look Like This? | Why Me? EP. 7 | Dr. Omar Suleiman | A Ramadan Series on Qadar

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

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.

Al-Hikam al-Ataa’iyyah #134:

مَنْ أَكْرَمَكَ إنَّمَا أَكْرَمَ فِيكَ جَمِيلَ سِتْرِهِ ؛ فَالْحَمْدُ لِمَنْ سَتَرَك ، لَيْسَ الْحَمْدُ لِمَنْ أَكْرَمَكَ وَشَكَرَك

Whoever honors you honors only the beauty of His Veil upon you. Therefore, praise is to Him who veiled you, not to the one who praises you.

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.
