  8. I've attended the first lecture... It was fantaaaaaastic... I can't describe it in words really i'm speechless... I used to watch his lectures, discussions, interviews on TV... but the situation is totally different when hear from him live... yeah not forget to mention that someone called Imam Zeid (American also) presented a topic for almost 20 min about the Afro-american iconic muslims in USA (in past and present) as an introduction to the main subject... but really masha2 Allah the Shekh was adorable in every sense of the word...

  10. Rania... face-whitening cream naaaa I didn't heard anything abt that... Maybe on Thursday's lecture coz I couldn't attend it...
    OK i will write a quick brief:
    He talked about what Muslims give to the world... He spoke about the Muslims' achievements...also He mentioned some a7adeeth about Oman... He did speak about women and he said that nowadays women are better coz men usually in Islam preferable on women by "Jihad" but because there is no more Jihad those days men is not anymore (it was a joke :) )...

  11. Do you know Ice cream was invented by Muslims originally??? Italians then took it from muslims and spread it in Europe...
    Most of the fruits names are in Arabic like banana and orange... European at that era were likely not to eat them coz they have superstations about fruits and vegetables, e.g. Tomato...
    What was most interesting to me is that he mention propaganda and how is media in US... and he said that ppl in the news there usually hear this: "Victims in the **** plain crash are 2 american, 3 dutch, 4 canadian and 10 from other nationalities" hahhaha... the other nationalities are usually from third world countries (middle east and Africa)... A lot of information I gained it from the lectures (Wednesday and Friday) but Friday's lecture I like it more coz it discuss a contemporary issue, we should all be aware of it... ahhhh I’m really tired of writing I prefer to discuss the topics orally loooool I can't write everything... I always discuss such topics with my friend when we meet either in SLL or MCT... I Wish that u was able to attend the lectures so you can transfer the details in a much better way...

  12. I was able to attend the lectures and I am so happy that I did. Their were two Shaykhs actually. Imam Zayd Shakir AND Hamza Yusuf. They were excellent speakers and I learned so much from them.

    We need more Shaykhs like them to come and speak to our community. They love the religion and a lot of non-muslims came to hear them. One man on the last talk was so touched by their talk and he said that he was so glad that he came out. He said that the other talks he went to only critized the west, but the two Shaykhs did not.

    It really would have been good for you to be there Rania because then you could write about it eloquently for everyone.

    ps how do I "follow" your blog?
