"Ten years ago I was completing my university studies in Egypt. Every summer I would come home to California for a few months to teach and engage the community
One visit, I met this wonderful man, Mr. Iqbāl who came to me frantically asking if he could talk with me. We sat and he said something I'll never forget, inshallah
I'm 74 years old. Can you find me a place for my wife and I to study Arabic in Egypt? We always wanted to learn the Qur'an
Learning is not as much about age, the teacher or the school - they are important, but key to any undertaking is passion
It was a blessing to see Uncle Iqbāl after a few years, especially on Eīd. His zeal is a reminder to push myself when I'm feeling lazy and unmotivated."
