Our Beloved Mustafa (saw)

This would probably be the last public seminar/lecture that I will participate in Singapore before I leave for my further studies in the US this fall. It is a great honour indeed to be able to be a part of the distinguish panel of speakers - most of all with our guest, Shaykh Afeef Uddin al-Gaylani.

It will be held on 3 May 2008 at Masjid Alkaff Kg Melayu situated at 200 Bedok Reservoir Road, Singapore. The seminar programme may interest some of you:

1) Our Beloved Mustafa by as-Sayyid as-Shaykh Afeef Uddin al-Gaylani;
2) The Image of Muhammad and Islam Today - Where Did We Go Wrong? by Prof Syed Farid al-Attas;
3) The Message of Rasulullah by Shaykh Mohd Ibrahim Bin Mohd Kassim;
4) The Guidance and Counsel of Sayyidina Muhammad by Ustaz Mohammed Iqbal Abdullah;
5) The Prophet of Mercy - Scenes from His Life by Ustaz Firdaus Yahya; and
6) The Path of Love - The Burdah of Imam al-Busairi by Ustaz Saifur Rahman.

Love for the Prophet (saw) is love for all the beauty and nobility of character, truthfulness, justice and humility, and which the Prophet (saw) as al-insan al-kamil (the Perfect Man) possessed in the utmost degree.

Insya-Allah the seminar aims to inspire a sense of love for the Prophet (saw) through a greater understanding of his character, life, struggle and sacrifice. The seminar will introduce some interesting Qasida (poetry), specifically the Qasida Burdah written by Imam al-Busairi. Through such beautiful odes or poetry written in praise of Allah and His Messenger, it is hoped that we can increase and develop our love and faith, insya-Allah.

Do come if you are in town...
