Never Dismiss Anyone: What Allah Can Do Through the People We Overlook

Two believers returned to Allah just one week apart. A convert mother from the west coast, full of light, and a father whose quiet intention helped shape a whole community. This gathering was one filled with Qur'an, salawat upon the Prophet ﷺ, and the beloved dua of Imam al-Haddad. What begins as a memorial slowly becomes a mirror for the living: the death we keep postponing, the intentions we underestimate, and the people we are far too quick to dismiss.
