Juz 18 urges us, in a variety of ways, to examine our hearts. Are we submitting to Allah? Do we feel pulled towards evil and idleness, or towards goodness and action? Have we internalized that our time on Earth is limited? Sh. Abdullah Oduro and Dr. Omar Suleiman, along with Sh. Suleiman Hani, encourage us to consider these questions and examine the true state of our faith.
