“Be like the blade of grass that blows with the wind.”
Sh. Mikaeel Smith joins Dr. Omar Suleiman and Sh. Abdullah Oduro and shares powerful insights on what it truly means to trust Allah. He reflects on the Sahabah (ra), who were always ready to pivot when the moment called for it, moving with certainty, courage, and complete reliance upon their Lord.
Can we ever reach that level of trust, where we rely on Allah fully, even in the most uncertain and unsettling times?
