So now I welcome Rahmatullahi Wabarakatuh, dear brothers and sisters. Welcome back to the first and alhamdulillah

Rabla Amin. We hit a milestone now. This is officially our 40th episode of the first

wa rela alhamd and we are going into Ramadan and in sha Allah t-ta'a we will resume the series immediately after Ramadan

and I pray that all of you are looking forward to the meeting Muhammad sallallahu aleyhi wa sallam series as well as the

Qawam 30 for 30 which will be Syirah Centric in sha Allah t-ta'a. So again if you've been a part of this series then in
