"I Am as My Servant Thinks of Me" Husn al-Dhann
We’re honored to share Shaykh Yahya Rhodus on the foundational virtue of husn al-dhann billah—cultivating a good opinion of Allah. This talk walks us from the blessings of Jumu‘ah to the heart of qadr, actions of the heart, tawakkul, and the Prophet’s ﷺ model of hope in the cave with Abu Bakr (R). May we leave with hearts anchored in trust, and a perspective that turns every moment—past, present, and future—into a pathway toward Allah.
Watch, benefit, and share with someone who needs this reminder today.
