Comments
May Allah ta 'ala bless and preserve Shaykh Afeefuddin Al-Jailani and all of the people of Ahl Al-Bayt. The Shaykh's lectures were pure NUR, and it was a great blessing to be able to learn the pure Sunnah of the Habib Allah, Sayyedina Mustafa, Muhammad ibn Abdullah, Sal Allahu 'alayhi wa salam, from him. Really, if you offered me a million dollars, or the opportunity to be with Ahl Al-Bayt and learn from them like Raheem and I did yesterday, I would not hesitate and go with Ahl Al-Bayt! Alhumdulillah, he is a Shafi'i scholar too, like Shaikh Abdullah Al-Kadi, who I miss so much. Many thanks to the good people at Ta'leef who gave us such an extraordinary opportunity. The Ta'leef Collective is a treasure trove that keeps on giving spiritual benefits in a way that keeps me constantly surprised and always exceeds my expectations. I drive three hours, one way, to partake of the spiritual blessings--for those in the Bay Area, do not, as Sidi Usama Canon says "sleep"-rush to get NUR!!!
Mustafa, thank you for your feedback. Those who know...know. Those who missed out...whoa.
