Melissa Ben-Ishay built her own company, Baked By Melissa, after being fired from her advertising job.

important thing is to claim it is

in every way. Otherwise, people will
become skeptical when it appears to
no one, is silent and does nothing.”

"In the Name of GOD-the Most Compassionate, Most Merciful.
All praise is for GOD-Lord of all worlds,
the Most Compassionate, Most Merciful,
Master of the Day of Judgment.
You ˹alone˺ we worship and You ˹alone˺ we ask for help.
Guide us along the Straight Path,
the Path of those You have blessed-not those You are displeased with, or those who are astray.
Amen."
