She Recites #016 ”I was asked to choose between seeking knowledge or a new house” - Ustadha Khadijah Afandi Part 2

A passionate young Khadija has decided she wants to travel to Yemen to seek sacred sciences. It's a far cry from home in Scotland. Will her parents agree? What will it take to convince them? How does one travel from Scotland to Yemen anyway? And whats all this about being offered a fully paid new house?? Join Jumana and Anjum as they sit and discuss the journey to Yemen, with Ustadha Khadija. This is part 2 of 3.

Quote of the Pod: "Whatever you think your story is going to be, is what you will recieve. Go in search of knowledge with an open mind. You dont always get what you want, but you'll get what you need. You have to be willing to go through the hardships to get that."
