This week (3/9/2012) we have a special guest, Sr. Safiyyah

As per our discussion last week (the Ayatollah Bahjat video), we know we need to put the knowledge that we have into action. It is useless and often counter productive to continue to acquire knowledge without putting it into action. Sr. Safiyyah is an educator that is living a life of action. Inshallah we should all take this opportunity to learn from her and inshAllah also lead by example.

Everyone, PLEASE BRING YOUR NOTEBOOKS....to take NOTES. :)

Thank you
