WHY ME? EP23
Season 1, Ep. 23
•
Why do innocent people suffer? Why is there so much tragedy happening around the world?
When these questions fill your mind, be grateful. It means that you have a heart that is not numb to the struggles of your fellow humans.
There are many answers to these questions from an Islamic perspective, and each takes time to explore.
But as an individual, the most important thing you can do is ask yourself the corresponding questions: When innocent people suffer, what can you do? What is your role? How can the suffering of others snap you out of complacency and into action to alleviate the pain of your brothers and sisters in humanity?
