This unique On-Demand course provides the Islamic narrative of the birth of the Prophet Jesus through an examination of Quranic verses relating to Maryam (peace and blessings on them both). This entails looking at the tests she was given by God, her responses to them, and how believers should respond to the tests and difficulties they are faced with in life.


Shaykh Abdul Rahim examines how tests make us express our humanity and neediness to Allah, and how faith in Him allows a person to persevere - to the best of their ability - beyond what they could bear without faith.

Through this lens, this course looks at practical approaches to tribulations and other real scenarios people face, such as suicide and despair. This knowledge equips a believer to face the slings and arrows of fortune whilst seeing that it is all beneficial for one - even if it is not apparent in the short term.
