How much control do you have over the qualities you possess? What aspects of your personality are innate, and what are you to cultivate?

Al-Hikam al-Ataa’iyyah 46:

حُسْنُ الْأَعْمَالِ نَتَائِجُ حُسْنُ الْأَحْوَالِ. وَحُسْنُ الْأَحْوَالِ مِنَ نَتَائِجِ التَّحَقُّقِ فِي مَقَامَاتِ الْإِنْزَالِ

Good deeds are the results of good states, and good states arise from the stations wherein those who have spiritual realizations abide.

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.
