Fridays tend to be the best day of my week: Time to pause. Time to reflect. Time to refocus.

Not to mention time to catch up with old friends, make new goals, and replenish your soul. Yea, I did that ALL today.

Here is a spiritual boost from today’s khutbah by Sheikh Khalil….

A reminder that “Everyone will experience their own Badr*, and everyone will experience their own Uhud*.”

Even in times of comfort there is a test, but a believer finds something good in everything.

Take the time to find the good in your life and your work.
