YouTube Description
as posted by the channelLet your rizq raise a voice for the ummah. Donate to Yaqeen
Why do seemingly undeserving people always get everything good in life? Why does everything seem to come harder for you, even though you've worked so hard? And why do other people take credit for your hard work, while you are left in the dust?
Sometimes, what you see as someone else being unfairly favored might actually be qadar at work in your favor. So beware of envy and defeat overtaking you, and make an effort to recognize the wisdoms in your life. Because when it comes to Allah's decree, it's not the most materially blessed or loudest mouth that gets far ahead, but the most grateful and perceptive heart.

إِنَّمَا جَعَلَهَا مَحَلاً لِلأَغْيَارِ وَمَعْدِناً لِوُجُودِ الأَكْدَارِ تَزْهِيداً لَكَ فِيهَا
He has only made the world a place of others and a mine for troubles so that you would not love it.

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.
