أحمد الشقيري the Great Visionary


Ahmad Al Shugairy is one of the most inspiring people I have ever listened to. He is out there with a strong belief that one day he will make a difference. Ever since I came back from the states he keeps improving and he impacted my life immensely.
For those who don’t know him! He has a show called “Khawater خواطر” that airs everyday in Ramadan, what he does in a nutshell is sharing his ideas and thoughts to the whole Muslim world and sometimes the Arab world in particular. These thoughts are presented in a documentary style with a short straight forward messages.


He became a very important part of mylife and his teachings make so much sense and so easy to digest. Here is the illustration and as a simple thank you for this man who his work will help generations to come.
