I had a weak relationship with Islam in early part of my life. Was thrown into competitiveness of getting the best education and landing the best job while entering the never-ending non-satisfying material race. Coming from a humble background, Allah SWT gave me everything Alhamdolillah. He held me in key moments whenever I selfishly reached out to him. Majority of Religious Scholars were either political or had their own agendas and never appealed to my ‘logical educated mind’.
Alhamdolillah a friend dragged me into Understanding Quran program during Ramadan which for the first time opened my eyes to Quran, its teachings and implications for us. No politics, no agenda, just Quran, Hadith and lslamic teachings. It made so much sense. Started to seek out to other such scholars and sources of knowledge and found out there are so many of them. I wish that happened to me earlier during my early teenage years when I was making critical choices of life without this divine knowledge.
And hence Quran4teens…
