Are You Blocking Your Own Blessings?
Abundance and blessings don’t only take the form of wealth. They come as knowledge, time, skills, influence, health, and even a kind word. Every single one of us has something to give. The question is, do we? Some people hoard their wealth, fearing it will run out. Others have wisdom but refuse to share it. […]

Ramadan With Zasha: Day 15

Ramadan With Zasha: Day 14
Allah is Al- Muiz, the Giver and Owner of Honour. Some humans take it upon themselves thinking they own the power of giving another their honour. For instance, how many people are oppressing the rights of others and going on a spree to ruin the honour of another? How many people think that being around […]
Ramadan With Zasha: Day 13
