Listen to the reminder that Inayah mentions here: Dr Omar Suleiman, With hardship comes ease “… And whoever is mindful of Allah, He will make a way out for them, and provide for them from sources they could never imagine. This episode’s beautiful stories are about these people, those who showed up for our storytellers at the right place, at the right time. There are times when we feel Allah’s provision so keenly through the people He sends our way. In the form of a helping hand or a companion for the road. When you’ve found yourself in a tight spot, life feels like it’s constricting around you, each turn delving you deeper into the maze…and relief arrives. There are people whose presence is like an oasis in a desert. May The Patient Loving One grant us patience and love in our own encounters & in our relationship with Him. In this episode, join us as we hear from 3 unique stories that really shine a light on these names of Allah. The greatest peace is in knowing that Allah SWT will answer our every du’a, in the most beautifully patient and loving way. Our task is to remember these attributes in how He chooses to answer our du’a. Our Lord is As-Sabur: ever-patient & Al-Wadud: Infinitely loving. The task of the Muslim is to remember - Abu Sa’id al-Khudri reported: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “There is no Muslim who calls upon Allah, without sin or cutting family ties, but that Allah will give him one of three answers: He will quickly fulfill his supplication, He will store it for him in the Hereafter, or He will divert an evil from him similar to it.” They said, “In that case we will ask for more.” The Prophet said, “Allah has even more.”. Other times we make the same du’a repeatedly and see the answer after many months or many years. JioSaavn has some 45 million songs - including a slate of originals started by Saavn - and access to the Jio network, which claims more than 250 million subscribers.Sometimes we make du’a and we see the answer immediately. The coming-together is certainly a far more solid outcome than the Rdio deal. Unlike Dhingana’s fire sale, Saavn’s executive team continues on under the JioSaavn banner. That gave it the fuel to reach this merger deal with JioMusic. But it hit the big time in 2015 when it raised $100 million from Tiger Global, the New York hedge fund that made ambitious bets on a number of India’s most promising internet firms. Saavn, the early competitor to Dhingana, seemed destined to a similar fate, at least from the outside. Ultimately, though, Rdio itself went bankrupt and was sold to Pandora, leaving both Rdio and Dhingana in the startup graveyard. There have certainly been misses over the years.Įarly India-based pioneer Dhingana was scooped by Rdio back in 2014, having initial shut down its service due to financial issues. It isn’t uncommon to see international firms compete in Asia - Walmart and Amazon are the two major e-commerce players, while Chinese firms Alibaba and Tencent have busily snapped up stakes in promising internet companies for the past couple of years - but that competition has finally come to the streaming space. That would set up an interesting battle between global names Spotify and Apple and local players JioSaavn and Gaana, a project from media firm Times Internet, which is also backed by China’s Tencent. ![]() This merger deal comes days after reports suggested that Spotify is preparing to (finally) enter the Indian market, a move that has been in the planning for more than a year as we have reported. Follow Spotlife Asia for the latest news and updates. ![]() For the first time, India has a credible rival to global names like Spotify and Apple Music through the combination of a venture capital-funded business, Saavn, and good old-fashioned telecom, JioMusic from Reliance’s disruptive Jio operator brand. ![]() The deal itself isn’t new - it was announced back in March - but it has reached its logical conclusion after two apps were merged to create a single entity, JioSaavn, which is valued at $1 billion. India finally has its answer to Spotify after Reliance Jio merged its music service with Saavn, the startup it acquired earlier this year. ![]()
