However, due to the recent crisis of COVID-19, we’ve seen a lot of changes in our daily practice and regular routines. This time is a gift in which we should strengthen our relationship with Allah (swt) and turn back to our Creator. Our pursuit of ‘ilm should never stop! If you’re missing your in-person halaqat fix then this is absolutely perfect for you! This session will have an interactive component so be sure to send in your questions and comments during that portion. Please subscribe to the channel and look forward to regular daily content and inspiring reminders.
