Where it all begins

As-Salaamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh,

What an incredible journey lies ahead of us! My sister, Aminah, and I are about to embark on the adventure of a lifetime—an exploration of the world through the lens of Islam, history, culture, and connection. This isn’t just a holiday; it’s an opportunity to learn, grow, and strengthen our bond as we dive into the rich tapestry of our faith in the most dynamic and engaging ways possible.

Aminah and I have always shared a love for discovery,thanks to our parents who have been blessed to be able to do the same and this journey is our chance to turn that passion into a meaningful exploration of what it truly means to be Muslim. From the majestic mosques of Istanbul to the serene deserts of Arabia, from bustling souks in Morocco to the breathtaking mountains of Indonesia, every stop on our journey will offer lessons wrapped in awe-inspiring experiences.

I’ve always believed that learning doesn’t have to be confined to books and classrooms. In fact, some of the most profound lessons are the ones we live. By stepping into the places where history was made, where the stories of the Prophets (Peace be upon them) unfolded, and where the whispers of ancient scholars still echo, we’ll be immersing ourselves in a way that no textbook could ever replicate.

As we prepare to set off, our excitement is palpable. We are already talking about the places we want to see, what we want to learn, and—of course—the many people we will meet!

We hope you’ll follow along with our adventures. Who knows? Maybe our journey will inspire you to embark on your own exploration of faith, whether that’s in a distant land or right at home.

Until our next update, may Allah guide us, protect us, and make this journey a source of knowledge, growth, and joy.

Fi Amanillah,

Salahuddin
