In this lecture, Dr. Omar Suleiman reflects on the power of Tamkeen (true empowerment) and patience in the face of trials. Before Yusuf (AS) sat on a throne, he sat in a prison. Before Musa (AS) led a nation, he wandered in exile. And before the Prophet ﷺ entered Medina, he was chased out of Mecca. These trials were a part of Allah’s tamkeen—preparing and empowering them for what was to come. What is Allah preparing you for through your test?
