Listen "The Tea on Tawakkul"
Episode Synopsis
In the second episode of ‘This Stays Between Us’, I will take you back to my first year of uni. I studied engineering for the first time and hit a wall.
I bunked lectures. I failed modules. I wanted to walk away. On top of that, I wanted to be a writer, and thought, what am I doing in this degree that glorifies equations and fluid flowing through a pipe?
But then I prayed istikhara.
What happened next?
The sign I received was not instant; it was a journey that unfolded quietly. In this episode, I share how tawakkul - trusting Allah’s plan even in uncertainty - guided me through my degree, kept me rooted, and eventually led me to exactly where I needed to be.
So buckle up, and get ready with your notebook, and bring a friend too! This one's going to be an imaan-booster!
As always, bismillah.
