[@kamlasayeen]

@@tt_here yes I agree. I'm reading "And God knows the soldiers"

Salam Khaled Abou El-Fadl. I was Riza who spoke to you in FEB 2023 for advice from demonic possession. And Alhamdulillah! Allah has healed me in a way I will tell you personally in God's Perfect Timing. Thank you beautiful mind of God. Peace.
