"Why are we tested?" "What is the purpose of this test?" "How does creating a relationship with the Quran exactly help me in my tests?" These are questions that cross our minds when we face hardships. We know Allah is there to help us, we know we are rewarded, and we know the Quran is our guidance through difficulty. However, for some reason, the burden of hardship continues to overwhelm us. To discuss this important topic, I have teamed up with Anse Dr. Farhana Yunus from Rabata for this takeover episode. She sheds light on why we are tested and how we can find comfort in such painful trials. ☆☆☆☆☆☆ This episode is sponsored by Rabata. Rabata has opened registrations for their Islamic courses for summer 2023. This semester offers a variety of classes, including Arabic, Tajweed, and Islamic science courses. There are also some special courses available, such as "The Seven Fundamentals of Personal and Spiritual Excellence" and "Crowning Venture: Memorization of the Quran." If you enjoyed this Quranic Reflection, join Anse Farhana this summer for a course on the tafsir of Surahs Saba', Ibrahīm, Al-Hajj, An-Nahl, and Fātir. It provides a unique opportunity to delve into the meanings and messages of these significant chapters of the Quran through an in-depth analysis of the Arabic text and the historical context in which these verses were revealed. Registration closes on June 1. ♡ The link to sign up is available in my bio: https://register.rabata.org/catalog?pagename=Academic-Program2023 --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/islamicfeelings/support
