MashaAllah, this is very nice with a very relatable story. JazaakumuLlohu Khairan 🧡.

Now, I know I have to step up showing up to matters concerning my Deen not only to worldly matters. This write up also beautifully explains the reason and importance of striving to please Allah always.

JazaakumuLlohu Khairan once again sis 🧡.
