2026/10/01

In this episode, I talk about what it truly means to trust Allah—even when life hits you with something you never saw coming.

2026/01/22

In this very first episode of my Istighfar series, I open up about how my journey with seeking forgiveness (Istighfar) truly began—and how something so simple ended up changing my life in ways I never expected. It all started with my brother Muhsin and his wife, who posted a friendly competition between themselves to see who could do the most Istighfar. Watching them inspired something in me. On a whim, I decided to join in… and from that moment, the rest has truly been history. Follow me O...
