TDC ’08: Promo Video

TDC releases it’s Promo Video for TDC’08

Let the Conversation Begin

asSalaam’alaykum wa Rahmatullah,

masha’Allah this has got to be one of the best da’wah/outreach videos I’ve seen.

So say you were in this situation and you do everything is man does, but after you’re done praying, people start coming up to you and talking. What do you say?

Another reason to take this course: How to Give Shahaada in Ten Minutes

I think every muslim that lives int he West needs to take this course and implement this in his life.

Adhaan at Masjid anNabawi,Medinah – 1373 AH

asSalaam’alaykum wa Rahmatullah,

One of the most popular posts on this blog is the picture story on Hajj back in 1953:

How was it Making the Hajj Pilgrimage back in 1953?

Now for something just as old, but this time in a video. This is video been posted around the net for a while. It has been dated by some as 1952-1953 or 1373 AH, but looks like 1373 AH corresponds to 1953/1954 depending on the exact time of that year. And if it’s correct date is 1952 or 1953 then the Hijri date would be anywhere between 1371-1373 AH.

Notice the high pitched voice of the person making the adhaan. Masha’Allah just beautiful.

Makes you want to walk down someone else’s memory lane.

How to Give Shahaada in Ten Minutes!

asSalaam’alaykum wa Rahmatullah,

DawahCorps and MSA @ UH(my alma mater) present one of the greatest da’wah courses ever designed for the West:

How to Give Shahaada in Ten Minutes!

by Yusha Evans

A course Written and Directed by Kamal el Mekki

Saturday, November 01, 2008 from 10:00 AM – 03:00 PM (CT)

Register for the Event Here!

I took this course twice or three times with Br. Kamal el Mekki, and alhamdulillah it was definitely one of the best courses on da’wah I have ever taken. I did use the techniques when I would go out on the streets with the brothers, and they seemed very effective. No one way will ever work each and every person you meet, in the end the caller always needs to use wisdom when calling someone to Islam because everyone is a different case. But the course did lay a good foundation and did give some tools to approach different people differently and reply to different objections/excuses differently. I will tell you this from my own experience that this method actually works. alhamdulillah.

The other thing I wanted to mention is the website/project – dawahcorps.com. Masha’Allah this is one of the most beneficial and well organized projects I have seen come up in the past year or so. Everytime I go back to Houston everything, almost everything seemed the same, without much change. Except new standards for the level of organization and professionalism in the field of Islamic Da’wah. And a lot of the credit for this high opinion of mine goes to DawahCorps, alhamdulillah. I am/have been very excited about this project, but too bad I can’t show it as much due to the physical distance from this project as well as my constriction on time on this island(Islamic Da’wah on the island is different, left for another post). I encourage everyone to go to the Dawah Corps website – www.DawahCorps.com – and check out all their services and definitely consider using their material and perhaps arranging some of their seminar in your cities.

I leave you with this interview of Yusha Evans by The Deen Show:

How I came to Islam!

Miracle Kid a HOAX

asSalaam ‘alaykum wa Rahamtullah,

NOTE:  Click here before you proceed!

Something cool I saw on the Crescent Youth Forums. Quite interesting I would say. Someone brought up a contention against this video, hinting that it might be hoax perhaps. Allahu ‘Alam. It sure is interesting and if true a miracle from Allah. I remember seeing glimpses of this video almost 5 years ago when I was visiting India (in Bangalore to be exact). The video itself shows a 5 year old kid whom they call Shaykh Sherifdeen Al Khalifa. I saw this video 5 years ago on the market for sale, and taking into account the time it took to record the video create the product put it on the market and all that good stuff, the kid must be about 10-11 years old on the conservative side.

The description ont he video says –

Born from Christian Parents who both converted to Islam after the young boy’s miraculous Islamic birth. The boy stopped breast feeding at the age of two months. He did not go to school but yet he can read the Quran and the Bible. he preaches to a very big audience and converted many to Islam.

Note: Notice the nasheed that is playing int he background. It is the famous poem by Abdullah ibn alMubarak which I uploaded on this blog here.
