Ya Shaykh, I remember after I converted I discovered your lectures online and how they were of great benefit to me in helping me to gain some knowledge of the religion and in strengthening my iman and practice. So, I was delighted to hear that you would be giving the jumu’ah khutbah in Otttawa this past October as I was also in town for a wedding and I’d never heard you speak in person.

Got to the masjid early, set my iPhone to record so I could later post it for others to benefit as I had once benefited, alhamdulillah the television monitors were on and working from behind the wall of the sisters’ side so we had some visual to the khatib. I listened to the familiar words I had heard in so many lectures, “awallin, thaniyah and let us begin so the time is not pulled from underneath our feet.” I think everyone enjoyed the clear focused and concise manner of delivery, elaborating on just a few points, and then I had a technology fail, and the recording did not save. But I just wanted to tell you that your words have reached far and wide, have helped many, and have not gone unappreciated.
