About this episode

Whether you think time is flying by or it's stuck at a standpoint, we’ve made it to the final ten days of Ramadan, alhamdillah!

In Episode 15 of Season 2, we are joined by Youssra Kamel Kandil to talk about how to make the most of the time we have left of this Holy month.

In these last Ten Nights of Power, also known as Laylatul Qadr, our reward for good deeds like prayer, charity and reading Quran are multiplied. Now is the best time to form and strengthen our bond with Allah (subhanu wa ta'ala) and Youssra explains how we can use dua to do just that.

The power of dua is strong and the response is always guaranteed.  Youssra walks us through the importance of duaa and the proper way to structure it.

Contrary to what many of us believe, you don’t need to wait to find yourself in a difficult position to call on Allah. Dua is powerful enough to change our Qadr and turn our calamities into blessings. You can use dua to ask Allah to protect your family from harms way, or to keep this Ummah safe, for example.

Now, on to what possibly is the most requested topic: Istikhara Prayer.

Most of us have heard about istikhara prayer and are told to perform it before making any big decisions - but when it comes to the actual act of performing, we’re truly lost.

“To speak that which is good”- Youssra breaks down the purpose of Istikhara prayer, the “myths” surrounding it and most importantly how to properly perform it.

This Ramadan we are asking Allah to protect you and all of your loved ones from anything harmful, and may Allah grant ease to those who may be suffering around the world. Join us in making dua, now that you know so much more about it!
