If Allah says that He doesn't test souls beyond their scope, then why does it feel like Allah is testing me with heavy burdens that I can't handle? How is God's Power manifested in the way He grants authority to whom He wills, even in the case of oppressors like Fir'aun? Why can't I just "live my truth"?

Join Dr. Tesneem Alkiek with hosts Dr. Omar Suleiman and Sh. Abdullah Oduro as they reflect on Juz 3 of the Qur'an, discussing the capacity we have for faith and worship, God's forgiveness, the Mercy of Allah actualized in the way He deals with oppressors, and what the Qur'an says about objective truth.
