  • Lessons from predecessor!!!

    MashaAllah , this is a very educational series. It’s essential for the ummah to reflect on where we come from and recognize the immense sacrifices our predecessors made for us. Unfortunately, many of the benefits we enjoy today are often taken for granted.

    This series serves as a reminder to learn about the best of our people, draw inspiration from their lives, and strive to emulate their example by engaging in dawah.

    JazakAllah Khair for creating such a crucial and impactful series.

  • Awesome series

    I am extremely grateful that this series exists. I found this on Google when I was looking up zaynab bint jahash. Ever since I have been watching this series. It’s so nice to see so many stories of companions told that I knew nothing about. Sometimes I do wish that you all could do like a biography series. That would be great. But like overall no complaints.
