Beginnings are special. They signify opportunity. Just as the Sun radiates through the night sky to greet us with morning, beginnings carry with them countless blessings. These words mark the start of Manchester ISoc’s brand new blog. A platform to share stories, thoughts and reflections. We ask Allah (swt) to make this a good beginning, and a continuous source of benefit for us all. And what better way to begin our endeavours than in the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful? بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيم
