It didn’t seem right to just send a pop song, given the news of the Karachi plane crash amidst what was already a difficult Ramzan. When I first spent a Ramzan away from home, and perhaps critically not surrounded by others experiencing Ramzan, I felt a desperate longing to connect with home and faith in some way. In this time I turned to Junaid Jamshed’s recordings of religious hymns. Since then I have found that his voice, and especially these recordings provide me a sense of warmth, hope, and strength to do better, and to be better.
