Now a computer engineer, Hlayhel is a part-time imam at the Islamic Center of the Northeast Valley in Phoenix, president of the Arizona chapter of the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR-AZ), husband and father of four.

wa iyyakum, I’m so glad you enjoyed the lecture
Please, would it be possible to get a download link for this lecture?
I’d like to have a record of it, without getting on youtube each time.

Salam, sorry sister, it wasn’t me who shot the video so I don’t have a copy myself. I tried reaching the brother who took the video but he hasn’t responded yet. If he does, i will let you know inshaa’Allah.
I was feeling down after listening to a lecture that basically told me I shouldn’t be so sure that Allah loves me..
this is a beautifully detailed explanation! jazakAllahukhairan!
wa iyyakum … yes I think this is a very important topic that doesn’t get discussed thoroughly. That was the main motivation behind the lecture. We let other faith traditions exceed us when it comes to this topic while it’s so central to our faith.
JazakAllah Khair.
wa iyyakum
That is really good video to be shared. perfect i think we all have to share that on face book too.
