brother faqir JazakAllah khair for posting.

I went today (Friday) and it was very exciting, as I saw Sheikh for the first time and I learnt a lot.

Mashallah Shaykh is a very humble person.



(I was amazed by some brothers thirst for knowledge:
On my right side sat a brother from the west coast of US, and on my left sat a brother from London.

Both had come specially for attending the talks,
Allah knows how many more had come)

:salam:

MashaAllah. You are fortunate Akhi.

I have only seen the Shaykh once - may Allah preserve him - he is truly amazing.

How was the talk? Did anyone record it?

Wasalam

Yes it would be great if you can tell us what the topic the Shaykh discussed, its difficult to get hold of his lectures and he gives them rarely too...

Tazkiyaa wa Tarbiyaa?
