What if the thing you are most proud of ends up costing you the most?

The poet’s voice turns personal here. Almost uncomfortably so. A name is called, not shouted, but called with expectation. As if the listener should already know better. As if the invitation had been made before, and quietly ignored.

In Episode 4 of the Ta’iyyah of Abu Ishaq al-Ilbiri, Ustadh Muhammad Tim Humble opens verses that challenge how we think about fortune and intelligence. Not in abstract terms, but in how we choose what deserves our time, our effort, and our attention.

A stark comparison sits beneath the words. A life measured in decades, set against a standing that stretches beyond imagination. Suddenly, the question isn’t what you’ve gained, but whether you’ve used your mind well enough to recognise what truly benefits you.

There’s a tension running through this lesson. Between time and value. Between effort and return. Between drifting through the Dunya and responding to a call that asks more of you than comfort ever will.

You’ll find yourself rethinking words you use lightly. Fortune. Gain. Success. Even intelligence. Are they really what you thought, or have they been shaped by a much shorter horizon?

Take a moment before pressing play. Watch with intention, and see what the verses ask of you

Life doesn’t always hit in gentle waves. Sometimes it comes all at once - worry, sadness, setbacks, confusion. You try to make dua, you try to stay patient, but your heart still feels heavy. If you’ve been stuck in that place… It’s going to be okay. Allah hasn’t abandoned you.

In this reminder, Ustadh Muhammad Tim Humble takes you back to the moment in Surah Yusuf where Yaqub teaches his sons something essential: a believer may feel pain, but they don’t lose hope in Allah’s mercy or His relief.

Through the story of Yaqub, the duas of the prophets, and the balance between fear and hope, Ustadh Tim explains how knowing Allah’s names and attributes changes the way you go through hardship - and why despair has no place in a believer’s heart.

If you’ve been struggling quietly, feeling overwhelmed, or trying to hold on when things feel stuck, this talk is for you.

The Name Allah appears more than two thousand times in the Qur’an. Let that sink in. It’s in almost every duʿa you make, every dhikr you repeat, every moment you turn back to your Lord. Yet most of us say it thousands of times in our lives without ever stopping to ask the simplest question.

Do I actually understand the One I’m calling upon?

We move from ayah to ayah, dhikr to dhikr, prayers, hopes, fears… all built on a Name we use constantly but rarely study. And that gap changes everything about our worship.

The Qur’an doesn’t teach you how to pray before it teaches you who you’re praying to. It begins with Names that carry the meanings of divinity, servitude, and the exclusive right to be worshipped.

Knowing these Names is not the end of your journey. It’s the moment it truly starts. Because once you know what they mean, another question hits even harder:

What do these Names ask from you?

In this episode, Ustadh Muhammad Tim Humble explores the Names Allah and Al-Ilah, and how understanding them reshapes worship, dependence, and the very way you see yourself as a servant of your Lord.

Everyone submits to Allah, willingly or unwillingly.
These Names reveal which path you’re really walking.

Watch this. Let it change how you worship.

Ever felt your Duas hit the heart on some days and feel flat on others? Many times it comes down to the Names you use when you call upon Allah. This episode digs into how those Names actually work, and why understanding them can change the way Allah’s mercy, help, and protection reach you.

In this episode of Allah's Names and Attributes, you’ll discover the Names that describe who Allah has always been, the Names tied to His actions, the Names that free Him from every flaw, and the Names that carry multiple meanings at once. Suddenly, “al-Hayy”, “ar-Rahman”, and “as-Samad” become openings to knowing Allah, not just familiar words we repeat.

Ustadh Muhammad Tim Humble also clears up the confusion around "Ihsaa" - what it truly means to “know” Allah’s Names in a way that strengthens your worship and transforms your Duas. And he points out the common mistakes many Muslims fall into when trying to seek benefit from the Names.

Then comes the question every believer thinks about: Which is Allah’s Greatest Name - the Name connected to answered Duas? The evidences, the strongest scholarly views, and the practical takeaway are all laid out.

Watch till the end - the next episode moves into specific Names that can reshape how you stand before Allah… if your heart is ready for it.

We keep ignoring the signs that point to the Resurrection, even though they appear before our eyes every single day - until the day our eyes finally close… and we see it for real. This Makki Surah brings those visuals together with proofs that leave no room for excuses.

Surah An-Naba forces you to confront the Great News that people argued about, dismissed, or treated lightly. It exposes the denial of the Mushrikeen, the stubbornness behind their questions, and the same patterns we fall into when we delay preparing for the Hereafter.

In this tafseer, you’ll recognise the signs Allah placed around you - the earth you walk on, the sleep you depend on, the night that covers you, the heavens above you, the rain that brings vegetation from the ground - each one a reminder that the One who created them will resurrect you.

And as the Surah unfolds, the scenes of the Day of Judgement rise before you: the Trumpet, the sky opening, the mountains swept away, Jahannam lying in wait, and the honour reserved for the people of taqwa.

Just enough is revealed to awaken the heart, not enough to soften the warning.
The Great News is coming. Prepare for it while there is time.
