Your delay is on purpose| Ramadan Series 2026 10.03.2026 8min

Make It Make Sense: Ramadan EditionEpisode 3: When the story finally makes senseRamadan is a month of reflection, healing, and returning to Allah. But for many of us, we enter it carrying chapters of our lives that feel confusing, painful, or unfinished.Moments where we asked why.Moments where the outcome felt unfair.Moments where nothing seemed to fit into a clear plan.This series, Make It Make Sense: Ramadan Edition, reconnects the struggles we live through with the stories Allah preserved for us in the Qur’an. Stories that reveal something powerful about how divine wisdom unfolds.Because sometimes the hardest part of faith is not the hardship itself.It is living inside a chapter that has not been explained yet.In this episode, we explore the moment when meaning finally becomes clear through four powerful stories:• The surrender of Ibrahim (AS), who was asked to sacrifice the very son he waited decades to receive, revealing that the test was never about losing the blessing, but about trusting the One who gave it.• The journey of Musa (AS) and Khidr, where actions that looked destructive, unjust, and confusing were later revealed to be acts of protection, mercy, and divine precision.• The struggle of Hajar, who ran between Safa and Marwa searching for water, only to discover that the miracle of Zamzam was written in a place she never even looked.• The moment of Sulaiman (AS) and the ant, a quiet reminder that even the smallest details in creation are seen and guided by Allah.Together, these stories reveal a powerful truth.Collapse breaks you.Waiting reshapes you.But revelation is what finally explains everything.If you are in a chapter of life that feels confusing, delayed, or unfair, this episode is for you.Because sometimes the reason your story does not make sense yetis simply because you have not reached the ending.Trust the Author.You can download my Umrah Guide here: https://sheenpodcastacademy.gumroad.com/l/hijkrg

Do You Trust in God? 03.03.2026 5min

Make It Make Sense: Ramadan EditionEpisode 2: When nothing is changing... even though you’re doing everything right.Ramadan is a month of healing, clarity, and returning to God but for so many of us, we enter it carrying unanswered questions, silent pain, or moments in our lives that just don’t make sense.This series, Make It Make Sense, is about reconnecting the struggles we live with the stories Allah preserved for us in the Qur’an. Stories of people who broke, who questioned, who felt isolated, who lost everything and yet were rebuilt through divine wisdom in ways they couldn’t see in the moment.We explore the four kinds of delay every believer faces:•⁠  ⁠False accusation and delay: through Yusuf (AS), who remained in prison for years despite his innocence.•⁠  ⁠A lifelong unanswered du’a: through Zakariya (AS), who prayed for a child long after biology said it was impossible.•⁠  ⁠Trust in uncertainty: through the mother of Musa (AS), who placed her newborn in a river and waited without answers.•⁠  ⁠Silent formation: through Musa (AS) himself, before prophethood, before miracles, before the sea split.These aren’t just stories, they’re mirrors. Reminders that delay doesn’t mean denial. It often means “not yet.”If you’re entering Ramadan in a season where nothing seems to be moving… where your du’as feel delayed, your efforts feel unnoticed, and your life feels paused… this episode is for you.Because sometimes it is not the breakdown that transforms you.It is the waiting.You can download my Umrah Guide here: https://sheenpodcastacademy.gumroad.com/l/hijkrg
