A Note about the Recent Conference… Bismillāh walhamdu lillāh was-Salātu was-Salām ‘alā Rasoolillāh. Amma ba’d. This past weekend, by The Permission of Allāh (‘Azza WaJall), we completed a Knowledge-based conference on the book The Beneficial Means to a Happy Life by Ash-Shaykh ‘Abdur-Rahmān As-Sa’dī (Rahimahullāh). The Prophet (SallAllāhu ‘alayhi waSallām) said: ‘He does not thank Allāh he who does not thank the people.’ After thanking Allāh (SubhānaHu WaTa’Alā), we thank our asātithah, Muhammad Amīn Al Jazā’irī and Ahmed Fathī for taking time out of their schedule to travel to and benefit our community. We also thank the volunteers and attendees who, in various capacities, assisted with the conference. It was heart-warming to be joined by brothers who travelled from other communities including Kitchener, Toronto and Montreal. The conference touched on a number of topics including: Thankfulness to Allāh; The Decree of Allāh and patience therewith; and Islāmically Legislated means to achieve success. We also received different notes of appreciation from conference attendees. We ask Allāh (‘Azza WaJall) To Accept and Bless the efforts of all involved And To Grant everyone an increase in beneficial knowledge and righteous action.
