Juz’ 15 with Dr. Farah Islam and Dr. Omar Husain | Qur’an 30 for 30 Season 3

April 15, 2022
Dr. Farah Islam, Sh. Omar Husain, Sh. Abdullah Oduro and Dr. Omar Suleiman

Surah Al-Isra and Surah Al-Kahf offer something magnificent: a lens to see the world in its true reality, as Allah wishes us to see it. They are an exploration into divine decree, the transient nature of life, and the problem of evil. Dr. Omar Suleiman and Sh. Abdullah Oduro are joined by Dr. Omar Husain and Dr. Farah Islam to discuss juz 15, the midpoint of the Qur’an, and as Dr. Farah reminds us, “The one who seeks Allah will find Him everywhere.”
