“Every prophet, every ancestor who came before you, they experienced sorrow. They had a traumatic life event. So it behooves us in our healing journey to sit with the memory of those people, to write to them, to write about them, to read stories about them, and to say, ‘Okay, ya Allah, You have given me the information that I need to know in order to move past this current challenge in my life.’”
