Peace!
I found it uplifting to hear stories about the different ways in which Shaykh Rashid and Shaykh Nuradeen were trained by their own teachers. You can learn a lot just from listening. At one point, Imam Bashar got quite emotional when he spoke about his relationship with Sheikh Ahmad. It was obvious that he continues to be moved by his Sheikh’s teachings and blessings.
