Learning From Our Legends

About Learning From Our Legends

Salam guys! Join us on this podcast where we discuss everything -from our everyday issues as Muslim women in the West, to using our deen as a guide to navigate them. And who better to take as examples than the people before us, such as the prophets, companions and the righteous individuals who came after them? By redefining who our role models are, we can redirect our focus to seeking the pleasure of Allah and getting to Jannah, as the Prophet(ﷺ) said, “Whoever travels a path in search of knowledge, Allah will make easy for him a path to Paradise.” (Muslim 2699) May Allah bless this journey, and allow it to be of benefit to us all, Ameen! Your hosts: Layla & Leena ;) Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy (https://acast.com/privacy) for more information.
