I came into the program arrogant, self-righteous, and I leave humbled by the soaring heights of scholarship to which we must bend our heads in wonder, and humbled by the sincerity, mercy, kindness and strength of my Muslim brothers and sisters (may Allah’s shower His mercy on them all). ALIM means to me a time of growth, repentance, and remembrance of our true goal in this life. It means one month of one summer of my lifer that turned me upside down, inside out, and having to face who I really as and where I really stand with Allah (SWT). How were we not supposed to change? With the most brilliant minds in the country, nurturing us throughout the day, and a band of 50 struggling Muslim youth, salah with the adhan ringing to the skies, dua in the grass with the fireflies floating, Quern in the depths of the night, salatulfajr in the chilly morning air before the dawn extinguishes the darkness. It is impossible for a heart to be confronted with these things and not soften. And not submit. It’s impossible not to hope and pray and resolve to become better servants of Allah. This is what ALIM did to me. It allowed me, for the first time, to understand what turning to Allah really means."
