Juz 7: Strength Through Submission | Mufti Hussain Kamani

Why is Allah testing me with something so difficult? How can the knowledge of good and evil help me ponder my own life? How do I deal with mockery of Allah and Islam? How can I submit to God when I don’t have all the answers?

Abdullah Oduro as they reflect on Juz 7 of the Qur’an, discussing the divine wisdom of Allah’s tests and blessings, understanding good and evil, how to deal with mockery of Allah and religion, as well as building strength through submission to God.
