The other night we were honored by the presence of the Grand Mufti of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia , scholar of scholars, Shaykh Abdul Aziz Ala’ Shaykh. His wise words were concise but heavy with meaning and full of guidance.
He expressed his gratitude the Quran was Sunnah Society of New York for arranging this seminar and made dua’ that Allah subhana wa ta’ala grant us Tawfeeq. He spoke about the importance of making da’wah in our home countries and emphasized adorning oneself with Islamic manners and behaviors.
He continued by reminding us of the blessed place we are in, the city most beloved to Allah subhana wa ta’ala. He advised us to be patient and peaceful with others as this city is a sanctuary.
The Shaykh concluded his talk by reminding us of the importance of the 5 prayers, the Jumu’ah prayer, and adhering to the Jam’ah, and making dua’ that Allah subhana wa ta’ala allows us to see his noble face.
Alhamdulillah his advice was simple but meaningful. May Allah subhana wa ta’al lengthen his life so that he can continue to share his knowledge and advise us, and grant him the highest level of Jannah.
