Background
Through the power of youtube video selections I ran across a video by Shaykh Abdal Hakim Murad.
BTW, he is a british born convert to Islam.

Due to the times in which we all live, I find myself blessed from listening to reasoned, measured, and tempered voices.
Here is the one word I have listened to thus far:

- The necessity of the self
- Can not operate a successful spirituality without given other people the benefit of doubt, forgiven, and going forward
