			I have always loved writing. I don't know about you but putting pen to paper, or today typing your
thoughts onto a screen has this huge therapeutic effect on myself. It helps me arrange my thoughts,
my ideas, my messages that I want to communicate to myself in a way that nothing else can seemingly
replicate.
		
00:00:22 --> 00:01:06
			I guess that's probably one of the reasons why I began writing for Islam 21 C, many years ago. How
do you relate to date, I've written a number of articles and series for the website for my own
betterment and salvation first, but also because I would like to be a part of the growth and the
transformation of others. Now, when that intention comes a burden, because you're always pestered by
the question, how do I take this to the next level? Pause that thought for just a moment. Do your
brothers and sisters I introduced to you the inked remedied project. Maybe you've seen the trailer
by now maybe even one of its episodes. But did you know that all of it started a few years ago
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:21
			from an article that was published on Islam 21 C, titled 15 cures to sadness, to help address the
sharp increase in Muslims suffering serious mental health issues like depression, sadness all around
the world.
		
00:01:22 --> 00:02:04
			So I approached the team of i 21 c during the height of the pandemic, actually. And I said to them,
I want to record this article as a lecture. Simple project, nothing grand. They said, No, no, no,
no. We have a better idea. It was like a lightbulb moment for them. All of a sudden I started seeing
these storyboards appearing, a key actor was brought on board, a full story was scripted, amazing
sketches were drawn. Animators came on board and brought them to life. Filmmakers jumped on board.
sound engineers were motivated. They said, let's let's do it. And for me Subhanallah that was the
answer to the how do I take it to the next level question that I shared with you earlier. And as we
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:41
			were recording the series, emails flooding in saying, where's the inked remedy book we want to buy
it. We said there isn't an increment the book. The team said we will create one Inshallah,
introducing the idea of the inked remedy publication, a graphic collection of diaries and advices,
where the users not only read but live within its pages, ideal gift for the bereaved for the
depressed, the bankrupt for the suicidal even to help them shake the dust from their feet once and
for all and proceed as confident and impactful Muslims.
		
00:02:43 --> 00:03:10
			Lastly, we thought let's do something even grander, and bring this issue to life through a short
film production, inspired by the inked remedy that write a professionally produced film to really
touch the hearts and the minds of the sufferers. And those who are not really aware of the
seriousness of this issue. We live in such a troubled world, and being troubled in your body is one
thing, two issues when you're troubled here.
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:59
			And subhanAllah as we were recording the series, they're very dark and tragic events unfolded in
Dallas, America, shocking the world in horror, which shows that the issue is real. And millions are
suffering in silence and contemplating the worst of ideas who will address this. We are tired of
just sharing statistics about mental health we need to do something more. And we need your help
right now to your brothers and sisters help us fund this project and its likes and literally change
lives. The reward is unimaginable and I hear you ask what should my intention be as I give for these
three projects and their likes I say to you, what have we learned in Allah He sold on to the kilo
		
00:03:59 --> 00:04:02
			Allah muslim, the most beloved of deeds the most
		
00:04:03 --> 00:04:10
			to Allah subhana wa Tada is happiness, which you bring into the heart of a Muslim.
