Experience Islam Week 2007 ~ Alwaan


Assalamualaikum warahmatullah wabarakatuh,

So the big day has come and alhamdulillah everything went well as planned. The best thing about this event is the attendance of the non-Muslims, a lot, alhamdulillah. Everyone helped and contributed to this event. Really have to thank everyone for their efforts in making sure that this event is a success. At the end, we have to extend the hall for another half an hour because everyone really enjoyed it and didn't want to go home.

This day is a blessed day, alhamdulillah. With the success of Alwaan, ALLAH also gave us the opportunity to watch the moon eclipse and pray the eclipse prayer in congregation, alhamdulillah. I have nothing to say but a deep gratefulness to ALLAH and all the people that made this event such a successful one though it was planned only for less than 3-week time. Alhamdulillah.

Wassalam.
