Episode 396: Ibi Idris

FAISAL & SAM
About this episode

👉 LIVE EVENT TIX: https://fg.live

In this deeply inspiring episode, we sit down with Qur'an teacher and content creator Ibi Idris, who shares a story that will change the way you think about discipline, legacy, and your relationship with the Qur'an.

Ibi opens up about how he memorised the Qur'an as a child, forgot it during his teenage years, and then rememorised it as an adult, this time with his own fire and intention. But this story goes even deeper.

We hear about his father's unbelievable journey: at 33 years old, while already a parent in London, he left everything behind to study Qur'an in Egypt. That decision created a domino effect resulting in over 50 family members becoming Huffadh.
