Welcome, Friends. Storytelling has the power to not only create connections but provide universal truths about ourselves and the world. When listening to this podcast, I ask that you honor these stories and the rawness, transparency, and vulnerability that they invoke. Invite them with an open heart and you will see that all stories share a universal message. I pray that each anecdote leaves you inspired to share as the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "It is also charity to utter a good word.” But more importantly, I pray that you allow yourself to find comfort in the good, wisdom in the hardship, and the courage to trust Allah.

episode 2: If I Must Die
In the heart-wrenching backdrop of Gaza's tumultuous reality, "If I must die" unveils a deeply moving story that explores the profound impact of loss on one family's journey through grief, resilience, and the enduring power of love. At the centre of the story is Shayma, a loving daughter and sister, whose life is abruptly shattered by the indiscriminate violence that has become an all-too-familiar presence in her homeland.
This episode was recorded on the 10th of January.
Please donate to Shayma’s GoFundMe, to help her and her family evacuate from Gaza https://t.co/1ckKD2lj1G
