Dr Tareq Al-Suwaidan - He Had Everything, Then Allah Took It Away

In this episode, we continue our conversation with Dr. Tareq Suwaidan as he walks us through key stages of his life, from his education and early work in the oil industry to an arranged marriage that has lasted over 50 years. This conversation challenges how success is defined, centering it on faith, responsibility, and inner freedom rather than status or recognition.
