Gems from The Eternal Journey - Part 1

Alhamdulillah, The Eternal Journey Week 1 has successfully ended. Too much have been studied and learned from Sh. Reda Bedeir. This course (TEJ) is all about tafseer of Juz Tabarak, which is the 29th Juz in the Quran that consists mainly the topic of akheerah. I would like to share some gems from the course that are indeed so beneficial to all of us, inshaAllah. I am so impressed and amazed at Sheikh Reda when he quoted so many verses from the Quran just from the back of his head, complete with not only chapter numbers but also the verse numbers as well. Subhanallah
