I am just a very small student of knowledge from Jacksonville, Florida who wishes to share with the world the little bit of knowledge I was blessed by Allah to obtain. I have spent the last two decades between Yemen (2000-2015) and Saudi Arabia (2016-2021) picking up beneficial gems everywhere I went. I hope that those gems can be a benefit to the people that listen to my lessons. May Allah increase us all in beneficial knowledge and righteous actions.
