It was my absolute pleasure in hosting my first live interview with our beloved Ustadh Nouman Ali Khan, where we talked about his journey from early age atheism to becoming one of the most prominent students of the Quran in today's era.
It was an interesting and beneficial discussion in which we bounced off each other’s life stories where there were relatabilities between us.
