Ready for Ramadan?

By Sheikh Abdul Hamid Lachporia
“O you who believe! Instead of telling Almighty Allah what we want, we should try to ask what it is that He wants for us, or wants us to do, in each situation.

A Sha’baan Message from the Heart

By Abdul Hamid Lachporia
“Never tell your problems to anyone…20% don’t care and the other 80% are glad you have them. Don’t count the days, make the days count.
