The Digital Sisterhood

What does it mean to honour somebody? What is the greatest testament of the bond between mother and daughter?

How can you love, through Him - and what is a love that lasts forever, beyond this world, and into the next? This story is about the seeds planted by a mother, and the bountiful garden that grew.

"They tried to bury the truth along with him. But some seeds refuse to stay buried."

After the death of Soleiman Faqiri, his family was left with unimaginable grief and unanswered questions. But instead of letting his injustice be buried, his family turned their grief into a relentless pursuit of justice. They chose to fight for truth, for justice, and for the dignity every human deserves.

In this episode, we explore how faith in Allah, patience in the face of injustice, and love for family can turn sorrow into something powerful.

Because even when seeds are buried deep beneath the soil, Allah can still make them bloom.

Call to Action:

The Faqiri family is calling on the Premier of Ontario, Doug Ford, to issue a formal apology for the beating death of Soleiman Faqiri at the hands of correctional officers. To date, the Ontario government has refused to apologize to the Faqiri family.

We encourage members of the public to email the Premier at [email protected] and urge the Ontario government to issue an official apology for Soleiman Faqiri’s death.

Ala’a never imagined that the ground she would be asked to plant in would be sorrow.

After her brother was taken from her through gun violence, sorrow could have swallowed everything. The shock. The anger. The questions that never get answers. But instead of allowing his story to end in tragedy, Ala’a chose to carry it forward.

In honor of her brother — his smile, his softness, the way he loved — Ala’a planted something in his name. Smile for Sache was born not out of strategy, but out of longing. A refusal to let his light disappear. A promise that his joy would continue to move through this world.

This episode is about the kind of pain that could harden you and the courage it takes to let it soften you instead.

Sometimes the seed we are given is grief.

And what we grow from it, that is hope.

What does it mean to plant a seed that will outlive you?

In this opening episode of Season 7: To Seed Is To Hope, we sit with Dr. Sohaira to explore the journey behind building one of the first spaces of its kind in the region — a mosque and women’s center designed intentionally, thoughtfully, and unapologetically around women.

But this story is not simply about constructing a space. It is about walking the golden path. The path of seeking knowledge, embodying it, and using it to transform lives.

At its core, this episode asks:

When knowledge is placed in your hands, what will you build with it?
