YAQEEN INSTITUTE
About this episode

What's the most important thing to do when you want to come back to Allah? How do you deal with the unknown? How do you stop yourself from being held hostage by grief? Why don't you know your decree?

Join Sh. Yaser Birjas with hosts Dr. Omar Suleiman and Sh. Abdullah Oduro as they reflect on Juz 16 of the Qur'an, discussing the story of Musa (as), how everything in life ties into the examples in the story of Khidr in Surah Kahf, the difference between qada and qadar, the power to change, the importance of knowledge plus the strength of iman, and submitting to God.
