Let the Journey Begin
Step onto the Highlands with me, and let's grow together in faith, understanding, application, and most importantly community.
Please introduce yourself and what your greatest challenge in applying what faith has taught you in your real life.
Also,share one thing - if you're comfortable - that others wouldn't know immediately when meeting you.
I'll start; I was born with a rare genetic condition called PKU and would have been severely mentally and physically retarded if it wasn't caught at birth. It was; my mother was new to Miami and didn't know a soul. She was very pregnant and needed to find a doctor. She opened the Yellow Pages and looked for a 'Good German Name' - the doctor she found turned out to be the only one testing for PKU in the entire state of Florida. Because of that she always described me as blessed; hence the reason I chose the name Saeed (which means blessed in Arabic).
That became a large part of why I invested so much time in learning how to be better. And it inevitably lead me to Islam - over 33 years ago now in 2026.
