Dr. Mohsin Ansari shares practical insights on parenting with intention, strengthening community bonds, and preparing the next generation to navigate higher education and the realities of modern society without losing their Islamic grounding.The discussion also touches on internal migration trends within the U.S., particularly the movement toward states like Texas, and what this means for the future of Muslim communities.
