Why Is This My Family? | Why Me? EP. 4 | Dr. Omar Suleiman's Ramadan Series on Qadar

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?

Al-Hikam al-Ataa’iyyah 43:


لَا تَصْحَبْ مَنْ لَا يُنْهِضُك حَالُهُ، وَلَا يَدُلُّك عَلَى اللَّهِ مَقَالُهُ

Do not keep company with anyone whose state does not inspire you and whose speech does not lead you to Allah.

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.
