Ramadan Love and Openings: Message from Arabia on Embracing Islam, Iman, and Ihsan

The holy month of Ramadan is a time of enormous blessings. If we welcome its great openings we will see wonders in sha Allah. Dr Jason Idriss Sparkes, a Canadian Muslim expat, poet, and scholar, who lives in Al Khobar, Saudi Arabia, tells us about his conversion to Islam and other great moments he experienced during this sacred month. He prays for another expat YouTuber, Sister Erin, an American who lives in Morocco and gave shahada (embraced Islam) on the Friday before Ramadan (link below). Then he reflects upon teachings from the Quran and Sunna which can guide us to seek the love and intimacy of Allah during this month and forever.
