Salam and peace,
Masha’Allah what a blessing to have been able to attend this gathering. I wish I could have been there. Imam Qasim is wonderful.
As-Salaamu Alaikum,
Ahamdulillah! This was a wonderful event. Thank Allah for our Scholars Imam Hatim and Imam Qasim. Loved the positive energy, being amongst true believers. Looking to be apart of the next session Insha’Allah. Jazak Allah khairan!
Abu Musa Al-Ash’ari reported: I heard The Prophet (S.A.W.) saying “The simlitude of good company and that of bad company is that of the owner of musk and of the one blowing the bellows. The owner of musk would either offer you some free of charge, or you would buy it from him, or you smell its pleasant fragrance, and as for the one who blows the bellows(blacksmith), he either burns your clothes or you smell a repugnant smell. “(Al-Bukhari and Muslim.
For me Masjid Al-Haqq was permeated with a very pleasant fragrance.
As Salaamu Alaikum
Thank you for documenting this event, although nothing compares to being there. I anticipate the next session.
ASA,
Extremely nice…keep up the good works and may Allah(SWT) continue to bless you with your endeavors….
Thank you FCMA and organizers, Imam Hatim and the Islamic Education Committee. Alhumdulillah! This was a wonderfully organized and attended Islamic Educational learning experience; full of spirit, highly increasing my appetite for gaining a greater appreciation, understanding and desire to learn more. The topics covered were strategically outlined with precision, using Qur’an as the ‘guide for life’ and obeying Allah through prayer and service to others; Realizing this is just the beginning, I am eager to be a part of the next session of topics prioirtized by your attendees. Takbeer! – Glen and Allene Ahmed
Thank God for this Unity events that could inspire people of the same race and culture who are not in good relation. I do pray that there will be many more occasions like this. Thanks to the Organizers…
