Trying to salvage whatever old projects I had saved (not many unfortunately 😔) As you may see, iPad has been through a half-decade trench—time for an upgrade inshallah.

Round 2 😭 https://youtube.com/@qamarinitiative-ii?si=MNnjMqm9przTqeFE

Well, here we go again….

Last week, I attended a public talk of the famous Sh. Saeed al-Kamali. Something I noticed and admired was that the Shaykh attracted scholars and students from different backgrounds, something that's only possible if you speak and teach in a way that doesn't just appeal to one tradition. If anything, this says a lot about a person's approach to learning and way of thinking. And it reminds me of the phenomenal quote of Sh. Abu Ghuddah (d. 1997), words that should be stamped in every student's head: "I have approximately one hundred teachers from whom I have studied and taken knowledge, each having their own orientation and methodology. I have not stuck to the opinion of any one of them [merely] because he is my shaykh and teacher. Rather, I stick to what I deem correct and believe to be the truth or most probable. I may err in that regard or may deduce what is correct, as is the case with every seeker of knowledge." (Kalimat fi Kashf Abatil wa Iftira'at)

I don’t translate much anymore but in honour of Shaykh Saeed coming to my hometown, here’s a short excerpt from a talk he delivered at East London Mosque regarding sincerity
