He who has a why to live can bear almost any how.

Author: Sajjad Husain

Hey there! I hope everyone is doing well. Welcome to the next round of the Sunan Weekly Roundup!

What We’re Working On

This week at Sunan, we’ve been deep in the heart of storytelling — not just pretty visuals, but purposeful narratives that align with why our clients exist.

We’re developing case studies that don’t just showcase results — they highlight intention. From a nonprofit’s shift to value-first communication to a Muslim brand redefining what it means to “sell ethically,” each case study unpacks how our clients’ core purpose became the foundation for strategy, resilience, and ultimately… results.

You’ll start seeing these stories rolled out soon — not just as testimonials, but as proof that when your mission is clear, your path becomes undeniable.

 

My Biggest Takeaway: He who has a why to live can bear almost any how.

 This quote stuck with me all week.
Whether we’re writing a fundraising email or building a brand strategy, we’ve noticed something: when the why is strong — rooted in service, faith, impact — the how becomes figure-out-able.

Every brand that knows its why doesn’t crumble in a crisis. It adapts. It pivots. It grows stronger. That’s what we want for every Muslim-led organization we work with.
So here’s to knowing your why — and holding on to it like it’s your North Star.

 

Time to Level Up!
