Bismillah
Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatuallahi wa Barakatuhu, Insha'Allah this message finds you in the best of health and imaan. Amin. I had to pause this afternoon to say, if you did not see, otherwise listen to, or read the transcript of Michelle Obama's speech from Denver last night - you simply must listen/watch. Listen carefully - there are many things said in this speech that, if taken in perspective, offer potential for healing. On a personal level, it had me crying through the last 3-4 minutes.

He who helps to remove the hardship of another, will have his difficulties removed by Allah in this world and in the Hereafter. One who covers the shortcomings of another Muslim, will have his faults covered up in this world and the next by Allah. Allah continues to help a servant so long as he goes on helping his own brother (or sister)." (Muslim)
