Contribute to the cause here: https://zaytuna.edu/give/ | May Allah accept your generosity and place it in your scale of lasting reward. - Aired on Apr 25, 2025 This section focuses on the Prophetic sunnah of mercy in daily life: feeding the hungry, caring for widows, raising orphans, visiting the sick, burying the dead, and turning worship into lived service. It then becomes deeply practical through the dua of istikhara, explaining choice, the illusion of seeing bad as good, and why believers ask Allah to choose for them. The Shaykh breaks down istikhara line by line in meaning, then closes with a powerful worldview: the believer’s affair is all good, even hardship contains mercy, and blame belongs to the nafs when a person cannot see the good Allah is placing inside the test. It ends by emphasizing peace, love for Allah’s sake, and the masjid as a window of Islam’s beauty for the wider society. - 📚 Nourish your soul with timeless wisdom.
