Imam Suhaib Webb Live on the Web - Tomorrow

At 12:00 Noon EDT on Saturday, July 8th (i.e. Tomorrow!!!), SunniPath will be conducting a free live online event with Imam Suhaib Webb. Yes, the previous sentence did contain the key word FREE, so no one has an excuse in that regard.

The name of the lecture will be The Qur'an and You: Reconnecting with the Beauty and Wisdom, and I encourage everyone to sign up and attend. The Qur'an is a blessing that we often forget and I'm quite certain that most of us don't have as much of it in our life as we need. Insha'llah, this lecture will assist in awakening our souls to the Qur'an, which is a healing (shifa'), light (nur) and guidance (huda) for usand ultimately our path to salvation.

For those of you who aren't familiar with Imam Suhaib Webb, he's a very gifted speaker and very much an "up and coming" American Muslim scholar, insha'llah. Currently, he's studying at al-Azhar in Egypt, but I have high hopes for the benefit he will be to American Muslims once he returns to the States, insha'llah. However, thanks to the blessings of technology, Muslims all over the world can continue to benefit from his wisdom and advice even at this time...so please make an effort to do so.

I first met Imam Suhaib Webb when he visited Kuwait while I was living there back in the mid-1990s. Needless to say, in spite of his somewhat intimidating size that even dwarfed me—and I'm 6'3"—he was humble, friendly and made quite a positive first impression. Since then, his Islamic knowledge has increased immensely—and I pray that Allah gives it even more increase both for his benefit and ours—to the extent that he's left slackers like me in the proverbial dust. Indeed, it seems that Allah has blessed Sidi Suhaib Webb with numerous gifts and qualities, which include offering insights into the Qur'an, Sunnah and Sirah, an aptitude for motivating others, fine oratory skills, a knack for relating to the Muslim youth and a well-placed sense of humor. So please make du'a for this noble teacher of ours and do your best to listen in on the lesson tomorrow, insha'llah.

Deen On...

Salaam 'Alaikum

:( In the notices I previously saw I missed that it was free, and now it's already 4:30 (I just got on the computer). How was it?

Asalamualaikum,

I checked this out, and it was very very nice Mash'Allah. I also found it very cool of him to further lengthen the Q/A at the expense of his own time. It was my first time seeing the Imam all dressed Azhari like, and he looked rather distinguished if I don't say so myself.

Wasalam
