We often admire the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ either as a worshipper or a warrior, but rarely make the connection that the same strength that anchored him firmly in prayer also anchored him firmly in battle.

This story doesn’t start with you. It starts with Al-Lawh al-Mahfoodh, the sacred, preserved tablets that carry all of decree until the Final Hour. All of existence, our history, and our future, stored in one place. The darkness of the world, and all of its light. If all has been written, how do I have free will? Are my choices my own?

Note: Only vocals were used in the making of the soundtrack.

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.

How much control do you have over the qualities you possess? What aspects of your personality are innate, and what are you to cultivate? Everyone is born with a set of gifts and talents, and given the opportunity to nurture them. Will you nurture them in a way to bring you closer to Allah, or will they draw you further away?

Your family can be your greatest blessing or your greatest test. You may pray for a peaceful family, and for Allah to protect them, but sometimes the conflict comes from within. Depending on your upbringing, you can feel strength and confidence from your caretakers, or a strong internal critic from unfair parenting or expectations. But there is wisdom in the circumstance of your family, and the person it shaped you to become. What lessons can you learn (or unlearn) from your parents, your family, and their sacrifice?

In the akhirah, beauty is beyond the measure of our universe. It’s said that if a woman who has earned her place in Jannah were to show her face in this world, she would illuminate everything between the heavens and the earth. The character you have in this life determines your beauty in the next, so beautify your character with your deeds, O believer.

When Musab embraced Islam, he lost everything he had of this world. And long after he lost his life for that same cause, the companions themselves would regularly be brought to tears remembering his sacrifices.
