Despite your desperate pleas, why does it feel like Allah isn't listening to your du'as? The answer is heavy with the wisdoms of the All-Knowing, and touches upon circumstance, intent, and the hidden ways Allah lays out paths for you that you could've never imagined. Sometimes, the ability to pour your heart out into du'a is itself a blessing, and other times, the greatest reward is in patiently waiting for the answer to your prayer. And just as du'a is a means of changing your decree, building that regular communication with God might just be what He has written for you in the first place. And what better could you ask for?

لَا تُطَالِبْ رَبَّكَ بِتَأَخُّرِ مَطْلَبِكَ، وَلَكِنْ طَالِب نَفْسَك بِتَأَخُّرِ أَدَبِك

Do not press claims against your Lord because your request has been delayed; instead, press claims against yourself for lacking in your behavior.

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.
