Sunday With IMB
June 18, 2007 | 03 Jumada al-Thanni 1428
Many thanks to IMB for putting on such a good talk. I was sorry I was unable to make imam Zaid’s talk earlier in the day. IMB is really showing themselves to be one of the premiere organizations in the area. With their past events of the Islam In America series, the Quba Institute, and now this collaboration with Hamza Yusuf and Zaytuna, I can only hope for further programs. As someone I’ve watched, listened to, learned from and observed grow over the years, Hamza Yusuf was someone I have eagerly awaited to meet first hand. Thanks to IMB, I was able to do so. I greatly enjoyed the opportunity to sit and discuss some matters with him. He is a very gracious man who works tirelessly for the Muslim community. And whether you agree with everything or anything he has to say, you must respect his work ethic and genuine concern for the quality of life for Muslims in this part of the world. Thank you, Hamza, for being patient with my questions! I can run at the mouth sometimes. I would also like to extend a personal thank you to imam Anwar Muhaimin for allowing me to “sit in” as it were. I would strongly encourage folks who are in the area to keep an eye on IMB and what they are doing. May God reward them for their efforts. I took a few shots of the event, seen here.

[…] As seen in a previous post, Hamza Yusuf from Zaytuna came and visited the City of Brotherly Love. In doing so I took a few shots and now you can seem them on Zaytuna’s Web site on the Community Window section of the site. See here. God willing, it can be the first of other collaborations to come.
