Mashallah really happy to see this with two beautiful people who have immensely helped spread goodness.

[@user-dr2xq8pt8k]

Aki I want your advise inshaAllah. I’ve stayed away from learning Arabic because I’ve got a learning disability so learning at the same level as everyone else won’t work for me. What do you suggest might be a way to learn Arabic?

[@user-bn2nv5mx2g]

@@user-dr2xq8pt8koften times these disabilities are purely mentally induced states. You might think you have a disability but you don’t, just try to learn Arabic regularly. But my recommendation is AMAU Arabic it’s designed to be easy to pick up on and it’s by Ustadh Muhammad Tim Humble.

Please do an episode with Ustadh Abdulrahman Hassan the next time he's in the UK. Please like this comment so madinah college see it.

[@mohammadfarooqmitha]

Yes in sha Allah

[@iymuslim]

This sheikh has had a huge impact on me and a lot of the Muslims here in the UK. He has focussed on a lot of prevalent issues that our communities face, the youth and spreading the Quran and Sunnah. I ask Allah to bless him in his future endeavours, and to reward him for his efforts here, and to forgive him for his shortcomings.

[@chanyh129]

Ameen

[@RsZ789]

I love Abu Usamah for Allah's sake. He taught me the balance of salafiyyah years after I embraced Islam. To not water down or compromise my Islam, while also being fair and just with Muslims and non-Muslims alike.

[@7senegalese]

Same for me SubhanAllah even though I'm born muslim

[@sammybey6998]

I've been listening to Abu Usamah since cassette tapes and always found him to be balanced and a unifier of the Muslims that also speaks about real issues facing the community. May Allah reward and preserve him and his family.

[@jumpa654]

He hasn't aged one bit compared to 20 years ago maa shaa Allaah.

[@TeeG-ye7ic]

I have benefitted from the Sheikh greatly especially as a black Muslim revert. May Allah reward him for his efforts.

[@latifahnapier8311]

Ameen!!!

[@abuismail9983]

Birmingham will miss you a lot. Especially reverts like me... The impact you had here especially among the youth to bring them to the path of Ahlu Sunnah Wal Jama'ah is tremendous. May Allah swt. make it heavy on your scale as a Sadaqah Jariyah Yaum Al Qiyama and bless and protect you and your family and keep you all firm and steadfast. Allahumma Ameen.

[@EbnHussein]

I thoroughly enjoyed every moment of his podcast. Ustadh Abdul-Wahid is correct in his assessment that Shaykh Abu Usamah is a valuable asset to the Dawah in the West, and his vibrant character is anything but bland. Allahumma barik. In fact, he had me laughing numerous times during this session without resorting to excessive clownishness. جزاه الله عنا خير الجزاء.

[@ibnadam1860]

It was blessing having Sh Usama in the UK. People would only know when he leaves.

[@alees9344]

MashAllah decades ago I came across this Shaykh his explanation of Surah Baqarah since then I have taken alot from him, may Allah grant him health and goodness and longevity and his family so we can benefit from him ameen.

[@kayo1994]

May Allah bless this brother. He may not know who i am but he has had a profound impact on my deen. Infact, I started praying 5x per day with Allahs permission after hearing one of his talks about Salah.

Glad to see Ustadh Muhammad Tim and Ustadh Abu Usamah featured! Their talks are truly enjoyable and beneficial to listen to, alhamdulillah. I vividly recall listening to Ustadh Abu Usamah hafithahullah in the past and being intrigued by his accent, considering his dawah work in the UK. Today, I learned that he's actually American, which adds an interesting layer to his perspective. Baarakallaahu fiikum.

[@NouridineElKhalawi]

Masha Allah, Allahu baarik, May Allah ustadh Abul Wahid well for getting all this out our shaykh. And May Allah reward our shaykh too on our behalf for all his has put forth from nurturing us and taking us under his wing. I think out of all the people in the west, us from Birmingham, especially in his classes at Green Lane Masjid, we benefited the most, wal hamdulillah. We are forever in debt towards you. Insha Allah we will uphold your legacy and not waste it. At 17:50, Iwould almost say word to word what was said about his father and his mentor, may Allah guide our shaykh's parents to Islam, and keep our feets and his firm upon Salafiyyah in it's purest form, May Allah bless him and his family and make him a door to good wherever he may be. Ameeeeen.

[@user-bn2nv5mx2g]
