Is the pressure for perfect grades stressing out your family? IQRA Network talks with Hamzah Henshaw, a Harvard graduate who has spent 20 years guiding Muslim teenagers into America's top universities. Br. Hamzah reveals a holistic framework, inspired by the Prophet's (ﷺ) wisdom of "five before five," that shifts the focus from manufactured perfection to genuine authenticity.

In this episode, you will learn:

  • Why top colleges are rejecting "perfect" applicants in favor of those with character and passion.
  • The "Five Before Five" Islamic framework for raising confident, capable, and God-conscious young adults.
  • Actionable steps to help your child uncover their unique spark and build a compelling, authentic story.
  • How to move beyond the high-pressure system of grades and test scores to focus on what truly matters for success in this life and the next.

This isn't just another talk about college admissions. This is the roadmap every parent needs to raise a generation of exceptional Muslim youth. Begin this essential journey for your family by visiting Brother Hamzah's program at https://www.fivebeforecollege.com/ today.
