Awesome series

I am extremely grateful that this series exists. I found this on Google when I was looking up zaynab bint jahash. Ever since I have been watching this series. It’s so nice to see so many stories of companions told that I knew nothing about. Sometimes I do wish that you all could do like a biography series. That would be great. But like overall no complaints.

‏ ماشا الله❤️

I am a young girl, and this inspired me to research about the seerah. Omar Suleiman really makes the past come alive! This is such important work being done by Yaqeen Institute. May Allah reward you with the blessing of this dunya and the akhira.

Simply incredible

If you want to connect with the Sahaba and by extension the prophet (SA) and further by extension Allah (SWT) in a way that you didn’t know that you could, check out this series. I went to Islamic schools while growing up and never really got that connection beyond Abu Bakr and Omar (RA). If you listen to this series, you won’t come out the other side the same. Something will have changed in the way you view the world and this beautiful Deen.

Serving Allah (SWT)

The best Story/Series I’ve listened to all year, SubhanAllah! So many TV series and books that we watch/read that are non-beneficial and this is by far the best series I’ve heard yet. Masha’Allah Allahuma Barik, Jazak’Allah Khairun!

A series about superheroes.

This series gives us insight on some of the most amazing people that ever walked on earth. With all these fictional superheroes with fictional super powers, these are the stories who were all humanbeing, with a light in their hearts.
