But we must not be distressed by minor differences of opinion. It is humanly impossible to always have unity of opinion. As long as we keep our purpose clearly in view, there can be many opinions as to the best ways of achieving our goal….”
Allah’s Amazing Mercy
By Khalil Moya

By Nouman Ali Khan
“If you’re listening to this and thinking: “Ah, I must get so-and-so to hear this. It’s for them!” … then you have a problem. This talk isn’t meant for others. It’s for you! You may think you’re OK, that other people have a problem with their egos. No, It’s you! Start with yourself first….”
