Dua Nudba recited at the haram. First round of classes come to an end. Namaz e Juma at the haram. Sisters climb mount Khizr in the evening. Boys climb mount Khizr in the morning and hold discussions in the evening at the park.
Masuma Naqvi, Birmingham, UK, on Dua Nudba:
"The power of such a beautiful dua pierced my heart and I could feel horrid plaques of my sins slowly decreasing. I am very thankful to my Lord (SWT) that I am able to experience some ruhaniat (spirituality) which is lacking in the west."
Swaleha Karim, Orlando, USA, and Tahira Kassamali, Stanmore, UK:
"The journey of climbing up the mountain was not just a physical elevation but a spiritual one."
Irfan Moosa, Stanmore, UK on climbing mount Khizr:
"We got to the peak and the view from there was breathtaking. We all sat down facing qibla and we all raised our hands praising the almighty, entreating him to bestow his blessings and mercy on us. Most importantly, asking him to hasten the reappearance of our 12th imam with the supplication of Nudbah and renewing our allegiance with Imam Mahdi (atfs) by reciting the supplication of 'Ahad."
Muhammad Panju of Stanmore, UK:
" ... we had our scheduled visit with Sheikh Safiullah which involved a highly interactive discussion on racism in Islam ... The key points taken away from the lesson were that there was only one race: the human race and that without the cultural diversities this world would be very boring indeed. Thus there needs to be mutual respect between different cultures in order to fully appreciate the human race. The inferiority complex was also analysed in order help explain the different reasons why racism exists ... This was another one of those days which is constantly reminding us of how fortunate we are to be in Iran and how delighted we are to meet senior lecturers in order to gain knowledge and to implement this into our daily lives." |
