Everything was excellent. The facilitator clearly explained all the information. Initially, I thought the Usrah session would be a waste of time, but I soon realized it wasn’t. As I delved deeper, I found it to be a valuable session, offering important religious knowledge. It helped me become a better person, as I learned a lot from the session. For example, I gained insights about the pillars of faith and adab (proper conduct) towards parents, teachers, and neighbors.
