Masya Allah! When I woke up this morning, I never expected to be sitting in the same room as Shaikh Dr Abdal Hakim Murad, listening to him talk right here in Malaysia. But that's exactly what was written for us.
It started early in the morning when I was scrolling social media and saw a video of Shaikh Hakim attending a Madani program in Putrajaya. I literally jumped out of my chair! Searched all over and finally found the info that he'll also be giving a talk at a program hosted by Khazanah Research Institute later in the day. I quicky RSVPed, and the rest is history.
Shaikh Hakim is the founder and dean of the Cambridge Muslim College and also an Imam at the Cambridge Mosque. He has a unique style of speaking that's calm and measured, yet so profound, poetic and full of wisdom.
And as I've written before, my mind was actually blown when I got to know that Shaikh Hakim's brother is Henry Winter, the football journalist whose writing I've been reading basically my entire life.
Oh, what a day! Alhamdulillah.
