About this lecture

In this thought-provoking lecture, Saad Tasleem explores the deeply human question of "Why me?" — addressing how Muslims should understand suffering, trials, and the limits of human perspective in light of Allah's infinite wisdom. Drawing on the stories of the Prophet ﷺ at Ta'if, the Treaty of Hudaybiyyah, and examples from recent history, he reminds us that both hardship and ease are tests from Allah, and that trust in His decree is the defining mark of true faith.
