Qur’anic Identity || Ustadh Umayr #13

Description

For our thirteenth episode we’re joined with Ustadh Umayr, a hafidh working as a software engineer here in London. LISTEN IN as he takes us down memory lane - his childhood days in Egypt learning Arabic as a non-native, his struggles memorising the Qur’an in London and how the Qur’an solidified his Muslim identity when moving from Islamic school into the corporate world. May Allah سبحانه وتعالى make this episode a form of ongoing reward for him, and He make it a source of motivation and inspiration for those embarking on their own journey with the Qur'ān.
