S12E13: New Year, New Goals: Setting Ambitious Resolutions and Seeking Allah's Help

<p>As we start a new year, it's natural to reflect on the past and make plans for the future. Setting New Year's resolutions is a common practice that has been passed down for thousands of years, dating back to ancient civilizations.
