MOTTO

"For each one are successive [angels] before and behind him who protect him
by the decree of Allah. Indeed, Allah will not change the condition of a people
until they change what is in themselves. And when Allah intends for a people ill,
there is no repelling it. And there is not for them besides Him any patron.”
(QS. Ar Ra’du: 11)
