Yaqeen Ramadan Series

What happens to the children whose lives were stolen before they’ve even begun? 

We’ve wept over Reem and Wadea, and were haunted by Hind’s final cries, and to the countless children who were lost among thousands of names of those martyred, we wonder how this injustice could continue. While we grapple with their losses, and pray for their parents, Allah comforts us with the knowledge that they are nurtured, embraced, and waiting in a realm where injustice cannot reach them. Their names may fade from the headlines, but they will never fade from the mercy of the Most Merciful.

How many nights have you lost sleep over the horrors inflicted by cowards in power? How much rest has been stolen from the innocent, burned and broken by the hands of human devils? And how many times have you wished—just once—that it was the tyrants who were tormented instead?

The martyrs have a message for us. Their souls have ascended beyond the ruins of this world, flying free in Jannah, comforted by divine justice. The oppressors, no matter how untouchable they seem, are already trapped in the torment of the Barzakh, their agony only beginning.

Justice is inevitable. The martyrs are at peace, but our struggle continues.

What happens when you die? 

There is no greater pressure in life than the moment of death. The angels will come. Your soul will be pulled from your body, with ease or with force. And you will face the greatest test of your existence. But if you held firm to faith in this life, you will answer with certainty:

My Lord is Allah. My religion is Islam. My Prophet is Muhammad ﷺ.

So hold on tight. The test will come when you least expect it. Will you be ready?

How many lives do you really have? You may be breathing, but is your soul already dead? Have you fed your body while starving your heart?

Spiritual death is more terrifying than physical death. The Qur'an reminds us that just as Allah brings the dead earth back to life, so too can He revive your soul. So how many times have you killed your heart, and how many times can you bring it back? Once you take your final breath, your chance for rebirth is over. So, will you wait for the grave to realize whether you ever truly lived? Or will you revive your soul while you still have time?

"Seeing is believing"—but what if you've never seen Allah?

How do you draw near to the One who is closer to you than your own soul? Every time you recite the Qur’an, He speaks to you. Every time you pray, He responds. Every time you call upon Him, He listens.

But do you speak to Him enough to recognize His voice? One day, your vision will be sharpened, and you will see Him as clearly as the full moon in the night sky. But will you wait until then to truly seek Him? Or will you recognize His signs now and begin your journey toward Him today?

Do you wish to see the Prophet ﷺ in your dream?

What would it be like to see his smile, hear his voice, and be in his presence? The Prophet ﷺ continues to appear in the dreams of the faithful. From the woman in Gaza who foresaw tragedy, to scholars and warriors who received his reassurance, these visions have carried the ummah through generations. But you don’t need to have lived with him to connect with him.

Do your dreams have meaning? Are your dreams mere reflections of your thoughts, or whispers from the unseen?

Each night, your soul departs—sometimes meeting the departed, sometimes witnessing glimpses of paradise, sometimes carrying a message meant just for you.

A wounded man in Gaza dreamt of a heavenly banquet before his friends were martyred. A woman at the time of the Prophet ﷺ saw men entering Jannah—only to wake and find they had just been martyred. Dreams hold truth, but not all dreams are true. So how do we know if it was a dream or a vision?

Did you know that you have another name—a spiritual identity? We spend our lives building a name for ourselves in hopes for recognition and admiration, but the name that truly matters isn’t the one people call you here. It's the one you're known by in the heavens.

The Prophet ﷺ said that every servant has a reputation in the heavens. Some names are earned by deeds, some given by Allah, and some lost to hypocrisy. The world may call you one thing, but what is your name with Allah? Are you remembered among the angels or completely unknown in the realm that truly counts?

You’re never alone. On this stage called life, the audience is far greater than you can imagine. Angels cheering, devils heckling, unseen creatures witnessing your every move. But the most important observer of all is Allah. While we might crave attention in this world, what truly matters is who’s watching beyond what our eyes can see.

What do the angels say about you? What does the Prophet ﷺ think of you? What news of you reaches the souls who have gone before? It’s time to shift your perspective—because your soul is always on display.

What happens when our loved ones die? What will your life in the grave—and in the world that surrounds it—be like? Those we have buried are not actually dead. They have entered the Barzakh, a parallel existence where there are people right now that are just as alive as you. Everything about their lives is determined by their deeds in the dunya. Are they blessed or wretched? Happy or horrified? It's up to the choices that they made, and that we make every day.
