had the chance to greet the world leader of the Naqshbandi Sufi Order. |

Following iftar, and Salat
al-Maghrib, Mawlana gave a sohbat. Here Shaykh Hasan Dyck listens with
attention. |
The gathered crowd of
Muslims crowded around Mawlana Shaykh after the taraweeh to greet him and
seek his dua. Many young people, meeting Mawlana for the first time took shahada
and entered the fold of the din. |
