Working with 'The Azharis' has been a unique experience for me. I feel like we've been able to tap into a niche that was waiting to be explored.
I get to visualise the impact through the website not only from the stats of people visiting, but also through the purchasing of workbooks and merchandise.
I've experienced things that truly show how much of a blessed venture this is, Alhumdulillah.
