Agha Panahian on Parenting and the Family
Lots of nuggets in these clips:
In the next video, the first part is especially poignant for teens living in the West – I remember something similar from my own teenage years where I would listen to friends talking about how drunk they got at a party, threw up in plant pots and made a fool of themselves in general and how they regretted it the next day, etc. Was (and still am!) so grateful to have such an amazing religion that stops us from going down that destructive path.

Thoughtful Gift Ideas 57: Bookmark
This beautiful gift idea was sent in… a bookmark with a saying from Imam Ali (as). Check out the wonderful responses too 🙂
Here is what they said!
“We’d like to share with you the gift we gave to our neighbours this Eid. Alhamdulillah it was much appreciated as a gesture of kindness and a step in the direction of bringing faiths together. It’s a 3D printed bookmark with the saying of Imam Ali (a.s). The neighbours in our area are mostly elderly so we thought a bookmark would be more appropriate than sweets!”
