After Maghrib 🌙The Road back to Allah (SWT) (Ft. Sheikh Nuru Mohammed)
In a heartfelt conversation with Sheikh Nuru, the quest for returning to Allah is illuminated amid the shadows of loneliness. Sheikh Nuru emphasizes that God's presence offers solace and healing in the solitude of this world. Through the Imam of our time, Imam Al-Mahdi (stf), one can find solace and companionship in the Divine and how these link back to the struggles of Imam Al-Kazem (as). Sheikh Nuru's words resonate with hope, urging us to strengthen our bond with God through faith, perseverance, and self-reflection, ultimately guiding us towards a deeper connection and fulfillment in our spiritual journey.

Of the questions raised in the discussion was the narration found in Shia hadith works “all the companions committed apostasy (irtadū) except three” to which Sayed Qazwini responded by rejecting this narration based on the lack of chain, in addition to it being logically impossible that only four companions out of the thousands remained on the faith. It was also evident from the discussions that the Shia narrative is one that is over-critical to the Sahaba perhaps due to a reactionary outlook to the Sunni narrative. .
