S3 EP8 | A love that is not forsaken Oct 27, 2023

Show notes

Iqraa -- Read. This was the first word to be revealed from the Holy Quran. A simple command that can be very difficult to obey. And for Aaliyah this was even more uniquely difficult, as the words of the Quran began to lift, change & morphe before her eyes with no explanation, Aaliyah started to believe she may never be able to read.

In this episode, join her as she opens up about overcoming difficulties and allowing her love for the Quran to flourish.
