Falling in Love with the Quran
Alia shares her journey of falling in love with the Quran. Growing up in a non-traditional Somali household, she moved around a lot and had a close relationship with her grandmother. Her grandmother couldn't read or write, so Alia would recite the Quran for her. This sparked her love for the Quran and its soothing effect. Despite facing challenges in Quran school, being called names, and being diagnosed with dyslexia, Alia found solace in the Quran and its teachings. She became a dedicated student and eventually started teaching Quran herself, finding purpose and healing through the words of Allah.
