Learning to properly respect women and value them as true Sisters.

Avoiding some old acquaintances

Really understanding that true freedom comes from full submission

It is difficult for an old man to accept the fact that he doesn't know everything.
Dear Brother, Masha Allah. I really admire you. May Allah help you all the way long.
