Brilliant. I really enjoyed reading this and helped me even relate Zain to one of my friends behavior.

You show how you were able to build trust with kindness and then get him to tell the truth of how he was educated to such precision it repels love. You opened the door and showed the power of vulnerability and you did it with care. His mother still haunts him. It is amazing how much we need to unlearn to be ourselves.

I’m really enjoying this series. You must be really great at what you do to be able to convey it so well in the written word, allahumma barik ❤️

I’m so glad these perspectives are being shared with the world from a Muslim professional. Jazaaki Allahu khairan.
