Sometimes You Just Need a Little Support

On today's episode we interview Lindsay U.M. Fatima a 39 year old mother of 2 who reverted to Islam 11 years ago.

Although Lindsay wears many hats, currently she spends the majority of her time home schooling her children and developing Islamic resources for others looking to deepen their knowledge of Islam.

She holds a BA and MA in Italian Linguistics and a Doctor of Natural Health degree with a specialization in Ayurvedic medicine.

She is truly a student of life who loves to learn Quran and Arabic studies, as well as foreign languages and cultures, history, and healthy living.

Listen to her story to understand why a muslim's first command of "Iqra" or read is ultimately the road that leads to a deeper appreciation and practice of Islam.
