unfortunately, the event didn't start on time. it was after 6pm that proceedings began. mawlana nabeel afzal was the stage secretary. speakers included mufakkir e islam allama a'zami, mufti aslam bindyalwi, mawlana abu zohra rizwi, mawlana arshad misbahi, mawlana naveed ashrafi, mufti fazl e qayyum subhani and others too. qibla sher besha'e ahle sunnat arrived after asr and he began his speech after 11pm if i remember well and it was a brilliant speech, truly amazing. i always learn something new when i listen to him and he proved the veracity of the sahaba and ummahatu'l mu'minin from the qur'an. truly enthralling. it shows his acumen and how well read he is. he said he wishes the tafzilis can get out the way so that we can refute the proper rafzis who are barking day and night on tv. shah sahib has been ill for a few weeks but the speech he delivered, apart from his cough, was remarkable. a blessing for the ahle sunnat of the UK, he is.
