Summary
In this episode of the podcast, I had the pleasure of having the privilege of speaking with my good friend, Abdurrahman, about his journey to recovery from a brain tumour. He shares his journey and how it has impacted his daily life and how he has managed to overcome it. He also talks about the impact it has had on his family and the sacrifices he has made to make sure he is able to live a full life.

00:00:06.980
unfolding today in ghazza we have to understand that opposition is counting on us to lose
00:00:12.680
attention to become fatigued and to move on with the new cycle and just as we can't allow them
00:00:17.580
to dictate our attention we also can't allow them to dictate the pace of our solidarity
00:00:21.940
and part of that solidarity is going to be there to rebuild ghazza short term long term

on the podcast brothers sisters as you guys know at salah pro we are teaching thousands of people
00:01:35.540
to learn how to pray salah through our one-to-one salah instructors through 150 000 mats that we
00:01:40.160
printed in six seven different languages that we distribute to dow tables to prisons to mosques to
00:01:44.540
hospitals to schools and so panel we have our salah hubs that we open across uh the world
00:02:19.080
but some doctors have said this is the cause of some severe migraines that i get okay now the
00:02:25.640
migraines that i get are really really bad um they're kind of like debilitating yeah to the
00:02:32.900
point where i've had to go to the hospital so many times like which we know which you've seen
00:02:36.540
and then i think i always called them to give me the morphine as soon as possible give me the
00:02:42.580
morphine like i well one time it was ramadan because what triggers a lot is um food i have
00:02:59.500
Because I remember I had that discussion with you
00:03:16.740
with the quran like for example you said your mom and your auntie taught you yeah how to read
00:03:20.980
that's sort of admirable that they taught you the quran and i genuinely believe that had an
00:03:26.420
impact on your life that that not growing do you know it might be it's like the headache thing is
00:03:30.860
honestly like i've realized that electrolytes helps a lot water helps a lot um like drinking
00:03:36.440
a lot of water it might if i'm being good then i'll drink three to five liters a day of water
00:03:41.380
you know i mean quite a lot of water um okay so the the headache thing was it's really bad pain
00:03:47.720
and um i used to be given like uh like constant medication for it and they gave me amitriptyline
00:03:56.560
i don't know why they gave me amitriptyline because it's also it works as an old school
00:04:00.080
antidepressant they used to give me 10 milligram of it a day yeah but it wasn't it was like skills
00:04:05.480
for me it wasn't doing anything so i just i stopped it for a while and i thought well
00:04:08.980
i don't need this nothing for me nothing changed um but uh they've given me different things for
00:04:17.500
it actually they've given me multiple medications for it and stuff but it would i would be i would
00:04:22.280
say that even though i've had pulmonary embolism i've had multiple breaks in my body uh i've broken
00:04:29.160
my jaw yeah i've broken my jaw in three places i've got the two titanium plates in my jaw
00:04:34.320
i've broken my so you don't have a glass you don't have a glass drawer i've broken my hand
00:04:40.480
multiple times i've broken my knees multiple times um both both of them actually i've torn
00:04:46.800
them all but this and i've had the pulmonary embolism which is like yeah life or death that
00:04:51.420
was the pain of the head yeah that that one was the worst that is the worst if i get hit with
00:04:58.540
that headache it's so bad the last time it happened i think it was a year ago i was in the hospital
00:05:02.940
and i just couldn't handle it they gave me um they gave me uh morphine yeah okay in the hospital
00:05:11.740
i took morphine and i think it might be ramadan i took morphine and i took another opioid i can't
00:05:19.700
remember what they gave me and it wasn't working no way nothing was working on this thing it's like
00:05:24.780
you know morphine is a strong drug they gave me morphine they gave me opioid gave me this and that
00:05:29.220
it just wasn't working but that kind of pain is uh it's good i think in a way it's good because
00:05:34.120
it's pain tolerance and like it helps you get yeah yeah you know this card is a card that
00:05:40.280
everybody be waiting for what's one thing that's haram i do belittle people but i don't think the
00:05:53.920
people that the sharia is intending here saying that all palestinians they are responsible this
00:05:58.680
