One Word with Adam Jamal – Museebah – Ep 3 (Season 2)

Museeba, Surah Al-Baqarah, Ayah 156

The word museebah is usually translated as calamity. Arabs used it to describe the moment when an arrow hits its mark. So when Allah uses the word museebah here, He is also teaching us that when calamity hits us we must realise that it’s from Allah who does everything for a purpose, even though it may not be apparent to us at the moment.
