Reviving the Islamic Spirit in Toronto

The Alhambra Productions staff are in Toronto, Canada for one of the largest annual conventions in Canada. Reviving the Islamic Spirit Convention is organized by the youth from the Great Toronto Area. This year's line-up of scholars include Shaykh Abdallah bin Bayyah, Shaykh Hamza Yusuf, Imam Zaid Shakir and many more. You can view the full line-up here.

We are honored to be so welcomed by our Canadian brothers and sisters. We have also been thrilled to see so many familiar faces whom we have met at other events in USA. Some of the brothers and sisters were at last weekend's Ethnic Jihad Minara Program. Insha'Allah, we will post a report on the Ethnic Jihad Program soon.

 

The cold Canadian winter also welcomed us here! We arrived in -2 degree weather. Then, it actually 'warmed' up on Saturday. Maybe it was the California sun!

 

Well, tomorrow is the final day of the Convention. Shaykh Abdallah will deliver another lecture with Shaykh Hamza translating. Then, Imam Zaid and Shaykh Hamza will have session together, insha'Allah.

 

Alhambra Productions will be in town for the Reviving Islamic Spirit concert which will be held to raise funds for the Pakistan Earthquake. Also, we will be here for the Knowledge Retreat with our beloved scholars.

 

 

P.S. Imam Zaid's lecture on Foundations of Islamic Civilization was very powerful. Shaykh Hamza's lecture of the Spirit of Al-Andalus was informative and enriching.
