Shaykh Muhammad al-Yaqoubi, the inspiration for this programme, attended the gathering. The Shaykh gave a captivating and insightful explanation of the verse of al-Qur’ān {Verily, Allah and His Angels send blessings upon the Messenger (pbuh). ‘O ye who believe send salutations abundantly}.

‘The universe all together is one chorus repeating one song. It is the song of the Messenger of Allah’s ﷺ praise. It is the prayer upon him and the salutations upon him.’ Shaykh Muhammad al-Yaqoubi

Shaykh Faisal Hamid Abdur-Razak (the khalifah of Shaykh Muhammad al-Yaqoubi) spoke beautifully about the Messenger (pbuh) as a Mercy to Mankind. Shaykh Babikir Sudani delivered an excellent talk about the importance of Salawāt and led on the recitation of the 201 Names of the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) from the Dalāil ul-Khayrāt. The programme was hosted by Faraz Yousafzai.

Alhamdulillah yesterday has touched my daughter’s heart, she is 10 and I can hear her singing Salawāt in bed – may Allah protect her.
