Tommorow is the blessed day of cArafah. We thank God for his blessings which weigh heavy on us and we ask that he guides us on his path and allows us to be more perfect in serving him. Truly, nothing is possible except through God. I would like to extend my gratitude and thanks to my parents, who have been so integral all these years in teaching and guiding me. I would also like to thank everyone who has been a part of this journey thus far, particularly my teachers in the religious seminary of Qum, Iran. My years there proved invaluable to who I am today and I would not trade them for anything in this world. I would also like to thank the members of the Noor Collective in San Diego, California for creating the platform which inspired this publication. Finally, I would like to thank Issa D. for his help in the final editing of this manuscript, as well as Haider al-Shaher for his work on the cover page.
