Go back and Fetch - Part 2

In the second part of Aliatou's journey, the forces she once sought to control now dominate her life, leaving her spiritually lost and broken. The darkness consumes her, and she is left with nothing but the weight of her choices. But even in the darkest moments, a flicker of light remains—an undeniable call back to the faith she once knew. This episode explores Aliatou’s painful struggle to reclaim her soul, to return to Islam, and to seek Allah's mercy. It’s a story of repentance, healing, and the profound transformation that comes with reconnecting to the Divine. This episode is a testament to the enduring power of faith and the endless mercy of Allah (SWT).
