Joud Abu Riyala, who lost her father and five siblings during the war, is addressing you while she and her injured mother continue to suffer from the ongoing effects of their wounds and burns.
I won’t lie to you, I am going through a real crisis and some very difficult days.
There is only one week left before a financial obligation that I am currently unable to cover. Despite everything that has happened, I am still trying to get back on my feet and searching for any work opportunity, marketing opportunity, or project support.
If you are unable to help, simply sharing this post may help it reach someone who can.
May Allah reward you all with goodness.

Secure your spot today, and let’s begin this beautiful journey of the Qur’an together, one step at a time.
May Allah make it beneficial for us. Aameen
“You can be a baddie and still hold on to your Deen”
No, Salāh alone is meant to cleanse you, discipline you, and reshape your character.
If after Salāh nothing changes in your attitude, actions, or mindset, then you’ve missed the whole purpose.
Worship is supposed to refine you, not coexist with habits that contradict it.
Allah says:
ان الصلاة تنهى عن الفحشاء والمنكر

I’ve been seeing posts in support of employers in Nigeria using the 26-27 years benchmark for entry level job(read Graduate Trainee) in Nigeria by my younger colleagues in 9-5 & I laugh.
Let me deep-dive to one of the things that got me leaving Nigeria when I did. I finished NYSC in 2019 & was already pass the 27 years most employers of labour in Nigeria use as benchmark, with that, even before the race ‘s started, I’ve already been locked out of major top organizations of my choice, I did the maths for a plan B & went back to Akure (FUTA) for my MSc four days after my POP in April 2019 with the hope to finish strongly with a Distinction for my MSc & get a PhD or another Master’s degree overseas, I was lucky, all the plans worked out as planned, I did my 2nd & 3rd Masters degrees in Spain & Poland respectively.
By the time I was done with both, I was well over 30 years, luckily no such age barrier in EU, I applied for the Graduate Trainee of P&G in Supply chain & started my career with P&G before working as an XwF for Google & then currently with my current employer as a Global Clinical Supply chain Process Manager.
A dream that would have been impossible in my home country because there’s no legislation against these callous employers of labours.
I plead with you again my younger Colleagues defending this anomaly, look at it from another prism/angle, that you were lucky to be done with school/NYSC age 25 or lower doesn’t mean we all were.
@iamrollandex I don't know about the rest but that https://t.co/RWudU1svdX is a no-no
You can't compare the structured learning on Coursera to it.
If you can pull money with others or go via an organisation to learn on Coursera, it's better than wasting data on sites that won't offer as much
