<p>I wanted to personally invite you to the upcoming webinar I&#8217;m doing with Shaykh Yaser Birjas on Thursday, January 7th at 6pm EST | 11pm GMT.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll be sharing, as the title suggests, three critical mistakes that many sisters are making, and they are more common than you might think.</p>
<p>The scariest part is that MOST sisters make those mistakes WITHOUT knowing (or by the time they realize them, it may be too late).</p>
<p>To get a free ticket to the webinar, put your name and email below inshaAllah:<br />
