This is way better. No distracting background music and the AI voice is clearer and doesn't sound like Joe Biden.
Can you remake "Ethics of Earning a living" by Ghazali with this setting?

Man I looked everywhere for this and here I found it thank you so much please continue you great work

[ayram]

Thank you so much for All of these incredible efforts can you upload the audio version of the books of imam al gazzali? I tried to find his 40 volumes of Ihya ulum ad din but couldn't find most of it. If you have all of them can you please make an effort to upload them to share with us?? I have listened to many scholars of this age but never heard someone speak like al gazzali speaks. His words are incomparable to today's scholars and it truly made me realise why people loved Islam at that time

[HamisMahmood-zylj]

This is amazing- could you please do re-uploads without music for your video library. It would mean a lot!!

[TupacMakaveli]

Wowww I wish u also have a pdf of this but that's asking too much I guess. Thanks ❤

[IAM-iinq]
