The Mind-Blowing Parallels Between Yusuf & Musa | Dr. Shadee Elmasry | Juz 12 Qur'an 30 for 30 S5

Juz 12: The Mind-Blowing Parallels Between Yusuf & Musa | Dr. Shadee Elmasry

How do I cope with hardship? How do I stop being miserable? If my rizq is already written, does that mean I can sit back and let it come to me? How do I trust God? Why should I? How does all of this tie to predestination? And tawhid? Tawakkul?

Join Dr. Shadee Elmasry with hosts Dr. Omar Suleiman and Sh. Abdullah Oduro as they reflect on Juz 12 of the Qur’an, discussing the stories of Yusuf (as) and Musa (as), being hopeful and grateful during hardships, how to utilize God’s provisions, the mind-blowing parallels between the stories of the prophets, and how Allah beautifully crafts qadar.
