** An update (21/03/10):

My wife and I went on the 2nd and he last day of the conference... and for the first time in our lives, we were the witnesses to the Shahaadah proclaimed by our new new brothers and sisters. Alhamdulillah, they were shown the lights by Allah to return back to the righteous path of Islam. To tell the truth, I just couldn't hold back my tears... All that I could do was just to praise the Almighty Allah... Allahu Akbar!!!!

We went home a little late last night... because Dr Zakir Naik was giving his talk... he wasn't scheduled to give any talks, but, I guess, due to respect to a man of his stature, he was given a cameo appearance.... But it seemed like his appearance was what people had been waiting for.... Read more about Dr Zakir Naik HERE


** Another update (22/03/10):

We left a bit too early that night when the Q&A session with Dr Zakir Naik was just starting. A friend who stayed back related that a total of 25 brothers and sisters made their Shahaadah that night and revert to Islam... Masya Allah....
