I'm excited to talk with you, especially because we come from similar backgrounds.

You've wrestled with questions that I'm sure I will someday too.

So before we... Inshallah.

We'll see if we keep that in.

So before we get into specific numbers, I'm curious, what is driving your decision to send your kids to Islamic school?

And what kind of financial conversations has that led to?

Hmm.

That's such a relatable feeling.

I mean, being from the perspective of the kid, I don't know if you have similar experiences where like growing up, I'd be, I talk with like my relatives abroad and like try to string together words and stumble through it.

So that was a moment when you really thought like, okay, I need to get serious about sending them to Islamic school.

Like at that point, was it a thing that you'd been weighing?

And then it really has flipped over to, yes, I'm actually going to do it.

Oh, that's amazing.

I mean, it's really hard.

You really have to commit to it.

I have a friend who during the pandemic realized that she wanted her kids to learn and speak Arabic.

And she's just stopped speaking English to them.

Like the only content that they're exposed to now is Arabic.

They don't watch any Disney movies.

I don't know if she knows about the dub movies.
