About this episode

Ustadh Tim Humble explores the names Al-Malik and Al-Maleek, discussing the nature of control and sovereignty in relation to Allah.

Control is something we rarely question. We want control over our circumstances, our future, the people around us, and the outcomes we hope for. It's easy to think that if we could just hold on a little tighter, we'd finally feel at peace. But what if that way of thinking is exactly what's keeping us restless?

Whether you've struggled to accept Allah's decree, found yourself asking "Why did this happen to me?", or simply want to deepen your understanding of your Lord, this episode offers a perspective that's both humbling and deeply comforting.
