First day of class, and Sheikh Hamza Yusuf

Jan 08, 2007 12:42

I just returned from my first class of the semester, Classics of Judaism, and OMG I will definitely love the course! There's a lot of reading, but I can't wait to get it started! *nerd* The professor himself had a nerdish but scholarly look to him. And even though he was dressed quite professionally, in a suit, he did not seem to have an ( Read more... )

I read it. justbringit January 9 2007, 02:07:15 UTC

I really enjoyed this post. I actually got myself a Quran today (along with other books that I listed in my LJ). I have been waiting for actual money to come in so I wouldn't have to spend too much money at one time. I'm not sure when I'm going to read it, but I'll make sure to tell you before then.

(P.S.: How are you doing? I'm been... around... reading your LJ post, but haven't felt like posting anything anywhere until recently.)

I am happy to know that you enjoyed it! I was afraid that someone might find it a completely nuisance so it was very appreciated to see your response here :) It is great news that you have bought all those books! It surely is something new for you to explore and I am sure you will find things very useful as you read. However, in my next post when I do go back home during the evening, I will post a section of the book I have started to read which talks about the Quran and its significance and understanding. Hopefully you will find it useful to read that post. I look forward to your responses in such matters! Your open-mindedness reassures me that there are some people out there still who are willing to give a chance to a foreign concept.

I am doing very well, just swamped with studies and such. I had become a bit worried for I hadn't seen anything written from you for a long while! It is a pleasure to hear from you and I hope you are in good health. :)

Aslaam o alaikum Samia,

I was thinking you and I could go to the MAS conference on Jan 27th, since you're living in that area. Check out the website and get a discount by the 28th, insha Allah. It's a good deed, and I thought we might learn something congregating with fellow young Muslims.

Let me know ASAP :)

Aslaam o alaikum,
