Early next month I am flying to Istanbul via Turkish Airlines. The stop over period is one hour. If there is any delay in the departure from London my concern is that I may not be able to catch my connecting flight. Is there any service I can book to ensure I catch the connecting flight. Thank you. 🇹🇷

Ya Allah,
You are my everything,
Nothing of me remains,
On the bridge to eternity,
I am fading, faded,
In the sky of my soul,
Only one word remains,
…Allah

Assalaamu alaykum,

My son is 15 and because of the inner city area we live in - the time he spends outside is limited. I see him wake up really late, and then his daily activities are weight training or watching TV. I asked him if he would be interested in attending a Summer Islamic Camp in Spain and his refusal was instant and so I thought okay - if you refuse to go to the Summer Cam, that is fine but then you need to read 3-4 books on Islam across the Summner Holidays - to which he reluctantly agreed. What books do you suggest. My hope is that the responses will not only be help me but also others who may be in a similar situation. The possible books I have on my list are as follows:

1. Being Muslim: A Practical Guide by Asad Tarsin
   A clear, modern introduction to core beliefs and practice, written with a Western teenage/young-adult reader in mind.
   2. The Sealed Nectar (Ar-Raheeq Al-Makhtum) by Safi-ur-Rahman al-Mubarakpuri
   The classic, award-winning biography of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ
   3. Purification of the Heart by Hamza Yusuf
   A translation and commentary on a classical poem about diseases of the heart (envy, arrogance, etc.) and their remedies.
