What kind of friends are you surrounding yourself with? Are they the ones who inspire you to follow the path of the Prophet ﷺ, or do they pull you away from it?

Join Sh. Ammar Alshukry with hosts Dr. Omar Suleiman and Sh. Abdullah Oduro as they reflect on the timeless lessons of Juz 19, guiding us to evaluate our friendships, realize our blessings and be grateful for them, and do things solely for the pleasure of Allah to attain a pure heart.

This episode features a special poem by Sh. Ammar Alshukry about Sudan.
