Restoring (Inter) FAITH in Humanity - Amazon's New Christmas Advert - A Priest and Imam meet for a cup of tea.

I hope you've already seen Amazon's new advert, but I'd like to share it for those who haven't. 

Two old friends, a Priest and an Imam are talking happily and drinking tea. As the two men stand, they do so with difficulty and with sore knees. They laugh at the pain they share. The Imam leaves and is seen ordering something from Amazon; the Priest is also seen ordering something online. In the next scene, the Priest and the Imam kneel to pray - and are both seen wearing their new knee support bands they bought from Amazon. Cue warm and fuzzy feeling.

In a world where only our differences are highlighted and talked about, it's so heartwarming to see a tiny example in which our similarities are the most important thing. I'm grateful to Amazon for making this advert and hope it is seen by enough people to make a small difference in the world.

As always, feel free to share your thoughts below.

Look what I gotttttt!

You may have seen a lot of beautiful pics of the amazing Eid Gift Swap event organised by the hugely talented @madebyummi this Eid. Alhamdulillah what an amazing thing to be a part of! I was SO excited to receive the most BEAUTIFUL Eid gift package from the beautiful, and also insanely talented @startwithbismillah! MasaAllah.

Pictured is the Gorgeous Pink Glitter Arabic 'Love' frame I received, along with the adorable Muslimah Pencils that will serve as cute reminders when I'm at work! Everything was packaged so perfectly, with fabulous personal touches like the 'Kelly' name tag. A huge amount of time and effort goes into her work and I am truly honoured to have received this as a gift! Thank you so much @startwithbismillah, may Allah swt reward you with goodness and may He keep your beautiful creativity alive and strong! Ameen!

A special thanks to @madebyummi for organising this! I know a lot of time and effort went into it! JZK!
