This is a parable about a devout man from Egypt who decided to embark on the sacred pilgrimage of Umrah. Before his departure, he experienced three cryptic dreams, each more puzzling than the last. These dreams would alter the path of his journey and provide him with a profound and mysterious insight...

Why Did Allah Send Me Down This Path? | Why Me? EP. 12 | Dr. Omar Suleiman | Ramadan Series on Qadar
Let your rizq raise a voice for the ummah. Donate to Yaqeen: https://yqn.io/utw
When you make Istikharah du'a, you're asking Allah to guide you towards the right choice, a special consultation with Him. But if the results don't turn out good for you, why was it facilitated? What was the point of your Istikharah?
Ibn al-Qayyim said, “If the veils were lifted and you could see behind the scenes what Allah does out of kindness for you, your heart would melt out of love for Him…”
Allah answers every prayer according to His time and plan and gives the best results for it. So when you ask for good, and something bad happens, know that it was His Wisdom that deemed what you thought was bad to be better for you. And when you finally decide to let go of the outcome you so desperately want and humbly submit to Allah's Wisdom, the tranquility you'll feel will be unparalleled.

Al-Faraj baʻda al-Shiddah 21
Qur’an, 65:2
Al-Hikam al-Ataa’iyyah 6:
لا يَكُنْ تأَخُّرُ أَمَدِ العَطاءِ مَعَ الإلْحاحِ في الدُّعاءِ مُوْجِباً لِيأْسِكَ. فَهُوَ ضَمِنَ لَكَ الإِجابةَ فيما يَخْتارُهُ لَكَ لا فيما تَخْتارُهُ لِنَفْسِكَ. وَفي الوَقْتِ الَّذي يُريدُ لا فِي الوَقْتِ الَّذي تُرْيدُ
If, in spite of intense supplication, there is a delay in the timing of the Gift, let that not be the cause for your despair. For He has guaranteed you a response in what He chooses for you, not in what you choose for yourself; and at the time He wills, not the time you desire.
Dua for Istikhara
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْتَخِيرُكَ بِعِلْمِكَ وَأَسْتَقْدِرُكَ بِقُدْرَتِكَ، وَأَسْأَلُكَ مِنْ فَضْلِكَ الْعَظِيمِ، فَإِنَّكَ تَقْدِرُ وَلاَ أَقْدِرُ وَتَعْلَمُ وَلاَ أَعْلَمُ وَأَنْتَ عَلاَّمُ الْغُيُوبِ، اللَّهُمَّ إِنْ كُنْتَ تَعْلَمُ أَنَّ هَذَا الأَمْرَ خَيْرٌ لِي فِي دِينِي وَمَعَاشِي وَعَاقِبَةِ أَمْرِي ـ أَوْ قَالَ عَاجِلِ أَمْرِي وَآجِلِهِ ـ فَاقْدُرْهُ لِي وَيَسِّرْهُ لِي ثُمَّ بَارِكْ لِي فِيهِ، وَإِنْ كُنْتَ تَعْلَمُ أَنَّ هَذَا الأَمْرَ شَرٌّ لِي فِي دِينِي وَمَعَاشِي وَعَاقِبَةِ أَمْرِي ـ أَوْ قَالَ فِي عَاجِلِ أَمْرِي وَآجِلِهِ ـ فَاصْرِفْهُ عَنِّي وَاصْرِفْنِي عَنْهُ، وَاقْدُرْ لِي الْخَيْرَ حَيْثُ كَانَ ثُمَّ أَرْضِنِي بِهِ
'Allahumma inni astakhiruka bi'ilmika, Wa astaqdiruka bi-qudratika, Wa as'alaka min fadlika Al-`azlm Fa-innaka taqdiru Wala aqdiru, Wa ta'lamu Wala a'lamu, Wa anta 'allamu l-ghuyub. Allahumma, in kunta ta'lam anna hadha-lamra Khairun li fi dini wa ma'ashi wa'aqibati `Amri (or 'ajili `Amri wa'ajilihi) Faqdirhu wa yas-sirhu li thumma barik li Fihi, Wa in kunta ta'lamu anna hadha-lamra shar-run li fi dini wa ma'ashi wa'aqibati `Amri (or fi'ajili `Amri wa ajilihi) Fasrifhu anni was-rifni anhu. Waqdir li al-khaira haithu kana Thumma ardini bihi.'
(O Allah! I ask guidance from Your knowledge, And Power from Your Might and I ask for Your great blessings. You are capable and I am not. You know and I do not and You know the unseen. O Allah! If You know that this job is good for my religion and my subsistence and in my Hereafter--(or said: If it is better for my present and later needs)--Then You ordain it for me and make it easy for me to get, And then bless me in it, and if You know that this job is harmful to me In my religion and subsistence and in the Hereafter--(or said: If it is worse for my present and later needs)--Then keep it away from me and let me be away from it. And ordain for me whatever is good for me, And make me satisfied with it)

As we venture into the space of producing higher quality media, we’ve worked hard to make sure that our compliance with our religious ethics is not sacrificed. While Yaqeen has always produced vocals for our Ramadan series, this series was unique in that it also included the story of a family in the background. Our talented production team worked with our scholars to ensure that all actors were in proper hijab, and that all gender interactions were only by Mahrams in real life. We’re grateful to the team for its wonderful effort, and grateful to the families that agreed to participate.

Is it okay to ask Allah for a quicker death? Is it okay to ask for an elongated life? Rasulullah ﷺ gave us supplications to encompass both scenarios, but these du'as should be made with a deep understanding of when and why to make them.

What will happen to the tyrants, oppressors, enemies and all those who hurt you? There are peepholes in Jannah, and should you so choose, the Most Just provides a window into the fate of those who bothered you in the temporary world. And as for the repentant sinners or the believers you just never got along with, the Most Merciful dignifies you both in the most beautiful of ways.

Again and again, we see that Allah is generous in His forgiveness and His rewards for your deeds. Of particular reward are those actions you performed in this life that benefited someone else. Numerous narrations attest that “Whoever covers the faults of his brother, Allah will cover his faults on the Day of Resurrection.”

The Most Honored Man By The Prophet ﷺ : Abbas ibn Abd al-Muttalib (ra) |The Firsts Dr. Omar Suleiman
If you saw him in Madinah, you would be taken aback by how he was honored by the Prophet ﷺ and the companions like no other human being, and if you heard him speak then you would know he was special. The last uncle of the Prophet ﷺ and a blessed connection for this Ummah.

While you're waiting for the help of Allah to come, a trial to be lifted, or a blessing to arrive, what are some du'as and deeds prescribed to maintain trust in His timing with tranquility?
The du'a focused on in this khutbah (note that there are slight variations in the narrations):
اللَّهُمَّ رَضِّنِي بِقَضَائِكَ وَبَارِكْ لِي فِي قَدَرِكَ حَتَّى لَا أُحِبَّ تَعْجِيلَ شَيْءٍ أَخَّرْتَهُ وَلَا تَأْخِيرَ شَيْءٍ عَجَّلْتَهُ
“O Allah, make me content with Your providence and bless me in Your decree, such that I would not like to hasten what has been delayed, nor delay what has been hastened.”

There is no greater blessing after faith than good health. Good health gives you the opportunity to strive in the way of Allah and earn blessings. But what if it wasn't decreed for you, and you are living with disability or illness? Allah has placed reward in both ability and disability, and there is always something to strive for in every circumstance.
