In this heartfelt episode, he shares how he was playing PlayStation when this verse stopped him in his tracks and changed everything. Ibrahim takes us through his journey—growing up between Saudi and Kenya, his father who prioritised living near the mosque, and the aunt who challenged him to complete the Quran three times in Ramadan. He reflects on the moment he realised his intention should be for Allah alone, not for any worldly reward. The heart of this conversation is purpose. He explores legacy and the three categories after death: those whose deeds stop completely, those whose good deeds continue, and those whose evil deeds continue to haunt them. Every post, every video, every influence matters.
