Assalamu alaikum, wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh. My brothers and sisters, it's been a while since we've been live with

beautiful reminders and this morning I have a really really important reminder for every one of us

Sometimes we talk bad about a person without knowing them thinking that they are bad
