Peace, one and all…
I’m going to London next week to hit the libraries in preparation for the coming academic year’s teaching. So, given that internet access is likely to be infrequent, I probably won’t be posting anything for a short while. But then again, who knows?
Ma’as salama,

Safe journeys and have fun with the books!

Abdur, enjoy the libraries like a kid in a candy store! As you know, books come a dime a dozen, so if you run into truly “GOOD” books, can you please share their names and authors with us? (I enjoy translating the ‘good’ ones into Spanish and sharing the best of the best with that particular segment of the Hispanic world also thirsting…)
Salaams…

Peace Mereth,
Thank you for your kind thoughts. So far, so good!

Salaams Barbara,
I had my first visit to the candy store today!
I’ve found many interesting books. Insha Allah, I’ll compile a list and send it on to you.

Salaams Zahid,
I would love to come along to the zikr on thursday. I just have to check on a possible prior engagement and then, assuming it’s all okay, I will be there insha Allah.

I hope London is being/has been good for you. It looks as if we won’t meet up this time, but perhaps another time. I would welcome the opportunity to have a face-to-face conversation sometime.
Sorry not to have left this comment until so late in your London week. I’ve been busy and avoiding reading too much in the blogosphere.
With warm greetings

Peace Barney,
Al hamdu lillah, it has been very good (but very tiring). I had thought about contacting you myself this evening to say much the same thing. No problems. We will meet as and when God wills.
Abdur Rahman
