END OF SECTION 2
Friday posting of Sections 1 and 2 is completed while hoping that the Word of God and His Apostle would enlighten those who send it and as well as those who receive it; and that it would result in them a growing realization of living in the sight of God. With the same hope, InshaAllah section 3 will commence next Friday.
