the etymology of the word Adam and the virtue of the first human being created by Allah being named Adam. Lots of material that many will not know before reading this book, some of which many will find surprising (especially that related to the Prophets of Allah, the Companions RA, and the very nature of the people who were enslaved and transported to work on plantations in the Americas). You'll find me talking about community, connection, planting & growing, seeking the truth in an age of propaganda and misinformation. Umm Ayman (ra) was the first among the early Muslims and like others, faced punishment of the Quraish. She remained steadfast in her belief and loyal to the Prophet (saw). Her ultimate concern was the affairs of the Muslims and the protection of the faith. During a visit from the Prophet, he asked: “ Ya Ummi!

Julaybib was from among the Ansar and accepted Islam in Madina. He is a companion who is not that well known, but was beloved to the Prophet (saw). He was ridiculed and shunned from society due to his outward appearance.
