Juz’ 3 with Dr. Ahmed Khater and Ustadha Roohi Tahir | Qur’an 30 for 30 Season 3

Many verses in the third juz of the Holy Qur’an encourage us to remember the Last Day and choose our actions with that impending certainty in mind. Dr. Omar Suleiman and Sh. Abdullah Oduro remind us, along with guest speakers Dr. Ahmed Khater and Ustadha Roohi Tahir, that if we have no doubt in revelation or in Judgment Day, than we will not change or disobey the revelation for worldly gain, no matter how much it may seem to benefit us in the short term.
