    How to Find Solace during Politically Turbulent Times

    In this episode we discuss Surah Anfal and the mercy this Surah provides to our hearts in a rough political climate. With the genocides happening in Palestine and Sudan and the Trump administration currently, it's been difficult to navigate what to do with the grief, emotional distress and helplessness when there seems to be no light at the end of the tunnel. We hope this episode helps you as much as it has helped us in this time! Also major congratulations to new Mayor Zohran Mamdani on his win as the Mayor of NYC! We couldn't feel more confidence that Allah is bringing the light that we've been seeking during these dark days.
