Why Is Everything Suddenly Falling Apart? | Why Me? EP. 20 | Dr. Omar Suleiman | A Ramadan Series

As Ramadan swiftly passes, let your rizq raise a voice for the ummah. Automate your donations for the last 10 nights

Change is inevitable. We move through cycles of opposites: of happiness and sadness, of good and bad. But what does it mean when everything is suddenly falling apart? When you face a loss patiently, but are instead faced by regression in a domino effect, the chips of your life falling down rapidly, one after another. What do you do when it feels like even the blessings you were grasping on to are now rapidly being snatched away?

Why does it feel like Allah is taking away the little that was holding you together in the first place?

Perhaps He allowed darkness to engulf you so that you could recognize the tremendous blessings He was bestowing upon 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.
