Here are some of the Testimonials from event participants:

“A very informative seminar. Learned lots that I didn’t know, alhamdulillah. Even though I am not in a relationship yet, I felt it covered the basics in terms of how I should start the process and pursue it.”

“I really enjoyed it since I’m newly married. I learned a lot of things. I was especially impressed by the open and candid nature of the discussion. The sheikh spoke frankly about topics like sex and contraception and how to maintain chastity and ways to look for a spouse. Finally, a properly educated scholar familiar with the western way of life and the challenges one faces as a young muslim in North American society. I’d have to say that this was one of the most enjoyable and relavent lectures I attended. Practical knowledge of Islam and how to live it.

“I think these type of courses should be mandatory for everyone planning on getting married.”

“I was really impressed with how comprehensive the course was! It is a class that married and single muslims must attend!”

“Sheikh Nazim is a great speaker, when he adds his personal touch to a topic everyone is all ears and we just want him to keep talking!”
