i would advise you brother to not attend this gathering because there is a deobandi on it

Nader Khan is a deobandi from Canada, and very close old friend of Faraz Rabbani. He freely mixes with women and is a kellerite too.
 
If I go it will be to see the Sunni Shuyukh esp. Sayyid Habib Ali, Habib Kazem, Murabit ul Hajj's son, and Ibrahim Osi-Efa.
I'll go for a walk or something when the Deobandi is on it. Thanks for the tip brother!
 
I don't know how they can justify such pricing reminds me of gateway a few years ago "come onto stage meet the awliyah for £10,000" instead of delivering a lecture on the advertised topic they converted it into a fund-raiser leaving many dishearten.

To my limited understanding I am sure the Awliyah I heard about growing up gave to the world for the sake of Allah and didn't come with hefty price-tags attached.
 
We don't really need to be advertising their retreats for them, unless we want to promote their wishy washy ways to another generation who will suddenly deem Christmas parties ok to celebrate
 
zaid shakir once told me and a group of my mates, that it is Gold that you are getting. One of the African American brothers and student was complaining about Zaytuna's hefty fees. i thought, perhaps he means you have to pay in Gold
 
In all fairness brother, the 'donate £10k and meet the Shayukh' was a ploy by the person hired to fund-raise and not the organisers. Those guys are sent up there onto the stage and often do and say anything to fundraise; should they fail to meet targets, then not only does it let the charity down but it could also make the agent very unpopular as a choice for other charities, hence putting his livelihood at stake. I worked in this field for 5 years, and continue to do so from time to time, so I know.

Secondly, how people didn't anticipate an appeal for funds for the girls' school evades me, when one side of the leaflet flyer was totally dedicated to it.


Please remember me in your prayers.

I attended a training course for a few days at Keele University recently. The cost of accommodation, use of all facilities and catering was £200 per person if I remember correctly. This money went directly to the university/institution (a very prestigious institution too) and this was for a period of three days; we were to arrive there for Friday morning and hand out keys in by Sunday afternoon after lunch and vacate the premises.

This makes me wonder whether the organisers are making money on this or not.
 
If you would go to see the 'Sunnis' and you would be going for a walk when the deobandi comes on stage - what do you think your 'Sunnis' be doing at that point? Walking with you or welcoming and honouring the deobandi?

Sorry, is the rule even with singers?

Do we have any proof he is deo?

yes, he is a deobandi, old friend of Faraz Rabbani, admirer of Ashrafili tahanawi, deoband, and of Mr Keller. He runs SeekersWorks, part of Faraz Rabbani's SeekersHub campaign of deviancy promotion. They promote Hamza Yusuf, Umar Farooq Abdallah, and all serious deviants, have been for more than a decade now.

He knows all about deobandis and Sunnis.

i would advise you never ever give your money to a deobandi or one who promotes deviants. instead, plz give it to make a Sunni madrasah
 
If universities are so expensive to host events in - whats wrong with the Masjids? Or maybe some scholars are to academic or high-profiled to come to Masjids?

I guess it is convenient because they have onsite lodging, dining areas, seminar/lecture rooms and other facilities like showers, gymnasium, open grounds and so on. There is also the benefit of privacy from third parties.

What surprises me is these paid events attract more people than free events at the local mosque

Strange times

Why is that so strange to you? It's called Cd's wanting to be modern, you know follow the West, update facebook status, few photos show the boys this is how its done. The average Sunni Masjid won't attract Young professional working class cd's.

I thank Allah Azzawajal from saving me from being CDfied.

May Allah protect us all from CDism
