The Gateway Event 2008
hi,
you guys are doing a gr8 job in hosting an event like this. I would just like to say that the gateway event 2008 was an excellent and very enjoyable. The best part was the dhikr that pir saab did, it was very touching and i think that everybody else would agree with me as well. every year the gateway event seems to be advancing and improving. the themes are different every year and i think that when Tijani comes on stage everybody gets excited because he is an inspiring sheikh.

the sunday 29th event
the event itself was very well organised from the very start. the time keeping by all people involved was remarkable!!!!

i did not stay for the third session, but speakers before hand were very informative. in particular sheikh haqqani and Ahmad thompson. sheikh tejani was just full of energy and love. i personally found sheikh haqqani very relevant to the subject, full of practical content, including aspects of beliefs and spiritual relevance playing it role in awakening our souls.

Al-hmadulilla what abreath taking event. i have attended over 25 gatherings and
al-hamdulilla this by far has to be the most uplifting, rewarding, knowledge seeking event i have attended. the sheiks, the nasheeds and the atmosphere all matched this beautiful event.

very beautiful
salaam, i personaly think that this kind of event should be celebrated in different places throughout england so that people get to know our learned scholars.our shurukhs prepared their speeches in such a way that our  youngsters paid full attention. the 2 nasheeds which that brother from mauritius recited were so beautiful and i think he should be with gateway to divine every year.mashAllah Allah blessed him with such a nice voice.
may Allah gives the team of al-karam more strengh to organise events like such for
our youngsters nad to guide us on the true path...Ameen

GATEWAY TO DIVINE MERCY 2008
This was our first time attending and it was such a blessing as many of our brothers and sisters who went met Shaykh Yaqoubi right when they entered. This has become a must to go every year now and i told family abroad and there up for it next year Insha Allah. Shaykh Pirzada was just amazing - along with Shaykh Tijani who is really good for the astrayed especially the youth.

Gateway to Divine Mercy
salaam Mualikum,

What can be said about the briliance of this amazing event. The air was full of blessing, the mercy of Allah was showring upon us, the presence of the angels...etc

What can be said about the speeches:-
Shaykh Ahmed Tijani's, humor n andaaz to make us understand, his 13 mins tilawat is
beyond explanation.
Shaykh Muhammad Imadad Hussain Pirzada's, speech to give the jazba to our sisters,
would hav gave it them bcuz it gave me jazba without it even being for me.
Shaykh Muhammad Al-Yaqoobi's, Ishq-e-Rasool, their ilm is amazing, their jazba for
the deen.
Shaykh Amin Al-Hasanaat Shah Al-Qureshi's, Andaaz what can be said, thier zikr touched the hearts of all present.

I especialy thank the organisers, AKSA and Jamia Al-karam. And also I make dua that
Allah bless these Ulama of the Ahle Sunnah wal Jamaah. Especially Shaykh Muhammad Al-Yaqoobi, who had a dars in damascus the night before and then came to the U.K and then came straight to the event, May Allah bless them all and for their sake may Allah forgive all of our sins and grant us the companionship of the Beloved of Allah
for their sake.

Ameen!!!

Gateway 2008
MashaAllah such a beautiful event and such humble scholars. Al hamd'lillah every year it is getting bigger and better and there is an amazing mixture of scholars. Just goes to show how much depth and quality there is in the Muslim scholars.

Cannot wait till next year. We already have started taking pre-bookings for next years coach(es) inshaAllah. We have also realised that this event has helped other events of the Ahlus'Sunnah Wal Jama'ah raise their quality and organisation levels.

Special congratulations to the brothers who were downstairs with security and tickets who missed the programme but attained the most blessings.

PS, Hafiz Shohaib for president of UK!

What a Programme INDEED!!!
Salaam,

I really cannot describe the beauty about this programme and especially this year. From start to end, the programme was really awakening everybodies souls. As always Shaykh Muhammad Amin-ul-Hasanat Shah Al-Quraishi did a beautiful speech and a wonderful zikr with all the Shyukh on stage sat beside our beloved Shaykh.

For Shaykh Pirzada Sb, I really do not know what to say, their speech although specifically for the sisters, what a speech, it was just brilliant. Shaykh Yaqubi, Shaykh Ninowy, Shaykh Abu Sniena and Shaykh Tijani were really good aswell. Well done and lots of congratulations for Shaykh Pirzada Sahib and the whole of the organisers Jamia Al-Karam.

This is the living Karamah of my beloved Teacher M.I.H Pirzada
Subhaanallah! Even greater than the last two years.  Indeed a very positive and great success.  Al-Karam Scholars are really doing what was written in their destiny.  May Allah Kareem bestow more Tawfeeq to serve the Ulamaa and Shuyookh of Islam.  I would like to pay my due respect to The Project co-ordinater B.H. Pizada who has tirelessly worked very hard.  May Allah Kareeem accept their sincerity and humbleness.

The event yesterday
Assalamu alaykum

I attended the conference yesterday and MashaAllah, it was a wonderful occasion.

The Barakah, Sakeena & presence of Angels in the gathering could be felt due to the scholars present.

The Speeches by Shaykh Pirzada, Shaykh Muhammad Al-Ninowi , Shaykh Muhammad Al Yaqoubi were absoloutely amazing and please try to have the Sayyed Scholars back next year again.

I felt that the conference was very well organised and Shaam were stunning with their beautiful Nasheeds and Humour too.
