During his visit to Australia, Sheikh Ibrahim bin Muhammad from Leicester, UK met with Robbie Hamza for this beautiful conversation.
There are many words of advice given by Sheikh Ibrahim, in particular a focus on never looking down upon anyone as you never know what their situation may be. Sheikh Ibrahim shared some great teachings that he learnt from his father about giving each person the support they need to achieve great things.
Through this conversation, we are also reminded that no matter how great a sin may seem, there is no sin that Allah will not forgive. There is always hope for everyone to turn back to Allah regardless of what they may have done.
If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction, please do not hesitate to reach out for support. You can also contact The Rehabilitation Project for support at http://therehabilitationproject.org/
