About this lecture

In this deeply personal conversation recorded at Yaqeen Studios, the founder of Celebrate Mercy reflects on his journey to truly loving the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ — from a dry Sunday school education to a profound connection forged through personal pain, the Seerah, and the Shama'il. He shares how his mother's illness, the proofs of prophethood, and the stories of the Sahaba all converged to solidify his faith, and offers practical advice to parents, married couples, masjid leaders, and the broader Ummah on how to cultivate a genuine, living love for the Messenger ﷺ.
