I'm going to ask you two questions. One of them is going to be a little bit longer and then we'll get into the Quran in Shabla Ta'ana.

I have not known the story of your name until very recently.

I assume that when you embrace Islam, you change your name to Aisha.

And Subhanallah, when you were talking about it recently, the actual way that you had the name Aisha, it really moved me Subhanallah.

I think it moved a lot of people.

So I actually want you to share that story before we get started with the night Ta'ana about how you took the name Aisha or how the name Aisha was given to you.

Yes, so how did that, the long story short, my mother, you know, since I was young, she would tell me stories about the man who delivered me.

And how, you know, she just respected him and how, you know, just his character and how he made an impression upon her.

And so she would tell me this story about when I was born, Dr. Mujedidi asked if he could, if he could just hold me and, you know, say a little prayer in my ear.

And so she gave him permission.

So it wasn't long after that.

Actually, somewhere in that process, my father came in and my father always debate about who was the first to do this.

But my father came in singing the Stevie Wonder song isn't she lovely life is Aisha.

And so he came in singing that and Dr. Mujedidi and so my father was like Aisha, my aunt was like Aisha and Dr. Mujedidi was like Aisha is a good name.

And so that's how I got the name Aisha.

And, you know, you said, you had such good character and, you know, your mother would always talk about him.

And in inshallah, you want to meet him in inshallah time.

I mean, that's something that has been a nighttime.
