"Ikhtiar: Balancing Human Will and Divine Decree in the Quest for Success Across Two Realms" is an engaging narrative that weaves together the Quranic tale of Prophet Yousuf (Joseph) from Surah 12 with Omer's personal life story.

Emerging from a transformative phase after the sudden loss of his parents to cancer—despite his worldly success—Omer offers a unique storytelling approach. The book stands apart for its ability to connect readers with the Creator through a concise, logical, and practical narrative, steering away from a conventional scholarly format.

It navigates themes such as the distinction between trials and punishments, the essence of hope, and Taqwa (God-consciousness and piety). It also explores sincerity in action, devotion, leadership, the power of dreams, and the inevitable ups and downs of life.

At its core, the book emphasizes divine sovereignty over outcomes, interlacing human efforts with Allah's will. Omer’s journey inspires readers to reflect on their own life paths in the light of divine decree and personal agency.
