Some pictures were taken during Sohobet and Zikr in Manhattan. After sohobet we dim the lights, usually leaving one red light on.

Many thanks to Tahir for recording and putting this online!

JazakAllah to Tarik for putting this online!

Eid Mubarak to all visitors!

We celebrated our Eid upstate with our teacher and guide Shaykh Abdul Kerim. Shaykh Abdul Kerim showed us today (as always) what it means to be a real guide, more than just academic, philosophical and spiritual, but maintaining in true fashion the traditions of Eid ul Adha in each and every detail.

It was busy day as after praying Fajr together, we got changed for Eid namaz, then afterwards we changed again to work clothes (so many layers to keep out the cold) for the tough job during the day. The mureeds had spent a good amount of time in preparation and it was with Shaykhs guidance and support we managed to sacrifice, clean, and cut four sheep and one bull in only a few hours!

The Eid Khutba was a very important and powerful one
