Bismillah. Out of all the ups and downs of today, I have to say the winner was the moment I received this text from a friend: “Make sure you paint the truth … and make it beautiful.” Thank you J :)

Bismillah. Very best moment of the day — hearing Dr. Muneer Fareed retell the story of first moment of revelation that came upon the Messenger (peace be upon him) and describing how his wife Khadija (may Allah be pleased with her) responded to his doubt - “She understood him better than he (pbuh) understood himself” - and hoping that I can be like that for someone, and someone...
