Remember: your life is worth it. Your qadar is woven through every pain, every happiness, every hardship, and every joy that you will face. And one day, in the akhirah, you will see the fruits of every good intention you had, and you will understand why Allah chose to write your soul into existence.

Al-Hikam al-Ataa’iyyah # 71:
إِنَّمَا جَعَلَ الدَّارَ الآَخِرَةَ مَحَلاًّ لِجَزَاءِ عِبَادِهِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ؛ لأَنَّ هَذِهِ الدَّارَ لاَ تَسَعُ مَا يُرِيدُ أَنْ يُعْطِيَهُمْ ، وَلأَنَّهُ أَجَلَّ أَقْدَارَهُمْ عَنْ أَنْ يُجَازِيَهُمْ فِى دَارٍ لاَ بَقَاءَ لَهَا.
He made the Hereafter an abode
to reward his believing servants
only because this world cannot contain
what He wishes to bestow upon them
and because He deemed their worth too high
to reward them in a world that is meant to vanish.

Note: Only vocals were used in the making of the soundtrack.
As we venture into the space of producing higher quality media, we’ve worked hard to make sure that our compliance with our religious ethics is not sacrificed. While Yaqeen has always produced vocals for our Ramadan series, this series was unique in that it also included the story of a family in the background. Our talented production team worked with our scholars to ensure that all actors were in proper hijab, and that all gender interactions were only by Mahrams in real life. We’re grateful to the team for its wonderful effort, and grateful to the families that agreed to participate.
