London, UK, Here I Come!

I’ll be heading over the pond to visit the in-laws in London, UK. I leave tonight, arriving @ Gatwick airport tomorrow morning. I will be staying (primarily in East London) for about 40 (!!) days (hehe), returning to Toronto during the first week of September.

I know I haven’t been posting too frequently, but since my mother and father-in-laws don’t have internet access at their home, it’ll probably be a while longer before I post another article or something. I’ll be bringing my laptop over with me though, so hopefully, I’ll be able to get some “work” done and have some new articles translated for your reading enjoyment. The laptop needs to be repaired though, so if any of you know of brothers who can repair laptops for cheap in East London, don’t hesitate to give me a shout; I think the FL inverter board or something needs to be replaced … screen works, but it’s very dark—practically black. If I can get it working properly, I should be able to get some stuff translated while I’m over there.

Shaikh Abū Anas is Here!

The praise is Allah’s, Shaikh Abū Anas arrived safely yesterday afternoon. As mentioned previously, the shaikh will be staying here for 10 days, giving lectures and talks during his visit.

Finkelstein-Dershowitz Debate

This is an old debate. I had first came to know of it last year after finding one viewer’s impression of the Finkelstein-Dershowitz debate posted on Norm Finkelstein’s website, which I found absolutely hilarious. I tried looking for a full video of the debate back when I first found the post on Finelstein’s site, but gave up after a short search.

Last night, my buddy Moez sent me a link from Google Video of the entire debate. I haven’t watched the entire thing just yet (going to watch it after I post this), but I thought I’d post the videos here for your viewing enjoyment.

Shaikh Muhammad Mūsâ Nasr Coming to Toronto!

I mentioned a little while ago that we were hoping to have Shaikh Abū Anas Muhammad Mūsâ Nasr visit us here in Toronto. The praise is Allah’s, the shaikh’s visa has been approved and granted so the shaikh will be coming to visit us near the end of this month. The shaikh should be arriving on July 24, 2008 and will stay with us until he departs on August 4, 2008. QSSC has announced a tentative schedule for the shaikh’s talks and the topics he will be speaking about.

A Tempest In a Teapot?

Shaikh Muhammad Hassân Is Not a Tempest In a Teapot, translated from an article posted on alMenhaj.net, contains a transcription of a recorded telelink between Shaikhs Muhammad Hassân (of Egypt) and Mash·hūr Hasan Salmân (of Jordan) in which Shaikh Mash·hūr asks Shaikh Muhammad Hassân some questions regarding his views on various contemporary methodological issues.
