As-Salamu Alaikum, Dear Community:

 

Embrace the liberating power of forgiveness in "Finding Strength in Forgiveness," a transformative lecture by Shaykh Mikaeel Ahmed Smith. Delving into the heart of Islamic teachings, Shaykh Smith elucidates how forgiveness can be a source of immense personal strength and spiritual growth.

This session reveals the hidden blessings in forgiving others, the importance of self-forgiveness, and the profound impact it has on our souls and our lives. Discover the healing that comes from releasing grudges and the peace that follows when we open our hearts to mercy.
