Report:
After recitation of the Holy Quran, Hasanain Jaffer began the program by introducing the chair for the evening, Mohamedsarwar Jagani. Mohamedsarwar then introduced the speaker, Shaikh Safder Jaffer, who was present in Birmingham for the ashre-zainabiyya majalis. He usually resides in Milton Keynes.
Sheikh then began his talk on the topic of Ayatullah Khomeini and spirituality. He mentioned many stories from the life of the great man, and focused highly on Salat. He showed how spiritual Ayatullah Khomeini was and then showed how we could implement certain things from his life into our own, and how we too could aspire to reach such a level one day. The floor was then opened for questions, and the response to the speech was excellent. There were many questions from both the ladies and the gents, and this was very encouraging to the Sheikh, who later mentioned that he was pleased at the turnout and response. Attendance at the event was very good, and the kebabs, chocolates and drinks served were just about enough! Feedback received on an informal basis was very positive. |
