Differing perspectives and narratives depending who you ask on race.

Scholars can make mistakes.

Too much putting down of people by scholars. “We need to do this and we need to that’ yet nothing about what people are doing already. Support people’s efforts and recognize the good they have done and are doing.

Allah is Al-Wadud. Allah is love.

The power of du’a.

Allah is always there no matter what you have done…just call onto him.

Allah forgives. Don’t have a wrong opinion of Allah.

Keep trying to make efforts to reach Allah. e.g. of Hagar, the mother of Prophet Ismael had to run between Safa and Marwa 7 times, not just once or twice, to finally see results. The idea of effort, it’s not instant but a process.

Allah can make the impossible possible. e.g. a change in government.

Be a straight shooter.

Are you going to do this OR are you NOT going to do this? No grey’s. Just black or white.
