I have a family member in Minneapolis, who has an addiction to drinking, he did get help but wants back it again, it went down hell when his mother died, We used to be close friends, and I hope he will find himself again one day insha Allah.
“You fell in love with something you were never meant to love, and now it’s on you for the rest of your life. That is the struggle Allah chose for you”. Insane 🔥
What an eye opening conversation. May Allah bless you all. In the west, the Somali community tend to shun people struggling with addiction, but if you go to Somalia you will see the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. 30+ years of war and trauma has left our people broke Subhanallah.
I pray one day I get the courage to talk about my addiction journey. This podcast had me feeling emotional, the brother is so passionate about this topic. I hope my big break will come soon InshaAllah ❤️
ameen ya rabal alameen, your in my duas❤🩹

This is very eye opening and needs to be talked about in our community. You are such a brave soul my brother Abdirahman. May Allah make it easy for you. ❤❤❤❤
this conversation was so real and heavy on the heart
If we reach into the shadows, it is where the hidden light can be found. Dr. Gabor Mate, an addiction expert from Canada, believes that most adult addictions can be traced back to childhood wounds caused by trauma. By healing, we integrate parts of the whole into oneness. Sometimes, we go through things that at the time don't make sense, BUT when we come out of the other end, we understand the lesson of it all.
Masha Allah for your recovery brother 🖤🖤🖤🖤
Allahuma barik this is next level stuff my brothers, we need more of these types of topics! May Allah bless you and keep us all on the straight path with the right intentions inshaAllah

Enlightening Allahumma Baarik
great podcast, topic, perspective and knowledge.

I wanted to say too,
its good the Quran is being taught in Dugsi, even with lack of Arabic, it has power we cannot understand. its what saved me, and
I still don't speak Arabic, but i read Quran, it speaks to me, and everyone else too. i understand your perspective was positive as in let the Dugsi teach us understand the Quran and also learn to implement etc, but mention it in details any point about Quran and how we deal with it as a community, its sensitive etc etc jzakallah
Lo❤❤❤

If God wills, we find Islam of Abrahamic Monotheism and Creed, not corrupted Hadiths of Abu Huraira et al. The Quran is the Hadith of God (all of it are His words), and things happen in this world according to His ways (nothing is independent of Him). Nothing is equivalent to God, His Power, His words etc.

falam yaku yanfauhum imanuhum lamma raaw basana Sunnata Allahi... [Quran chp 40 ver 85]
