Salamu Alykum Brothers and Sisters,
I hope this message reaches you in the best of health and iman inshAllah.
Allah(swt) says in Suart An-Nahl: "Invite to the way of your Lord with
wisdom and good instruction, and argue with them in a way that is best .. "
Wanting to do dawah is very important but it's not enough, as muslims
living in a non-muslim country we are frequently asked questions about
Islaam some of which you have had to answer but didn't know how such as:Why
do you pray 5 times a day, or why do your women wear hijaab etc .. and we
as muslims need to invite to the way of our Lord by wisdom and good
instruction.

This is why we are proud to present to you  the " Dawah
training workshop" which is going to be ran by Brother Nasser Karimian at
6pm in Fulton Building, second floor Room 213. Fulton Building is just on
the corner from Bramber House east entrance and Swanborough. The " Dawah
training workshop" will teach you the skills and give you the confidence to
answer such questions and more,and deliver the message of Islam, the
message of Peace, in an effective and adequate way.

Here is a small biography about brother Nasser Karimian:
Nasser Karimian is presently enrolled at Concordia University in The
History and Philosophy of Religion, doing a Masters in Religion. He has
completed his Bachelor of Arts degree at Concordia University, with a Major
in Religion and a Minor in Classical Arabic Language. At the tender age of
15 he began practicing Islam and initiated the memorization of Qur’an, a
goal which he has yet to reach but intends to complete in the future. In
his 2 years at John Abbott College he completed his DEC in Science. While
he was there he was given a position as the Imam who would lead prayers
regularly and he often led the congregational Friday prayers. As he was
Imam he was also an executive of John Abbott‘s Muslim Students Association
(MSA) involved in planning, organizing activities such as the IAD (Islamic
Awareness Day) and many more. He has travelled to the U.K. as well as the
U.S. giving lectures on Islam to various Islamic youth groups which were
intended to help direct students towards a balance in their studious life
along with the spiritual aspirations. He is also a participant in
organizing activities with Concordia’s MSA, where he regularly gives
lectures and leads the Friday Prayer with up to six hundred attendees.

InshAllah I will see you there!
Please feel free to e-mail back if you have any questions about the
location or the program.
Kind Regards,
Mohamamd
Head Brother Sussex ISOC
