I am extremely grateful that this series exists. I found this on Google when I was looking up zaynab bint jahash. Ever since I have been watching this series. It’s so nice to see so many stories of companions told that I knew nothing about. Sometimes I do wish that you all could do like a biography series. That would be great. But like overall no complaints.

I am a young girl, and this inspired me to research about the seerah. Omar Suleiman really makes the past come alive! This is such important work being done by Yaqeen Institute. May Allah reward you with the blessing of this dunya and the akhira.
