The Resilience of A Muslim

YAQEEN INSTITUTE
About this episode

Alhamdulillah while grieving a dead baby. Hasbunallah wa ni’mal wakeel in front of a demolished home. La ilaha illa Allah while outrunning air strikes.

For 75 years, Palestinians have shown the world what resilience and unshakeable faith looks like. Now it's time for us to learn from them. How do we build the same resilience so that we can keep advocating for justice in Palestine? Their voices do not cower in the face of tyrants. Why do ours?
