“If only… would my life be better?” We all ask this question at some point in our life.

Dr. Farah Islam reminds us not to waste our years longing for a life we don’t have. What feels like defeat may, in reality, be a hidden victory. Al-Wahhab, the Ultimate Giver, knows exactly what to withhold and what to grant, and every gift carries wisdom.

When Allah gives you more, do more. 

Sh. Omar Hajjaj joins Dr. Omar Suleiman and Sh. Abdullah Oduro to reflect on what true gratitude to Allah really looks like, following the example of the Prophet ﷺ. Instead of taking Allah’s countless blessings for granted, we’re reminded to express our gratitude through action: serve your community, increase in good deeds, and use every blessing you’ve been given in ways that please Allah.

What does it truly mean to live your truth? Sr. Sarah Sultan unpacks the nature of truth and how we ground ourselves in an unchanging reality, challenging the idea of following feelings over revelation.
