Ilminar DOUBLE HEADER: The Shepards Path!!

[Ammar AlShukry]

When we first heard that The Shepherds Path was coming to london, we were sooo excited. All we had heard were rave reviews from the states and canada about how amazing and life changing it was.

But the truth of this didn't hit home until I sat there, and the seminar began with "the prophet salAllahu alayhi wa sallam is dead. This statement doesn't mean much to you now, but when I say it again at the end, your reaction will not be the same"

And subhanAllah how true it was - wallahi, when that statement was said, there was not a single dry eye in that hall. If you could imagine a sword that had cut through a live, pumping heart - that was how much you bled internally. The journey had ended and we tasted a minscule amount of the pain that made Umar radiAllahu anhu vow to kill anyone who proclaimed "Muhammad salAllahu alayhi wa sallam is dead"

We went through the torture of Makkah, saught relief in Abisiniyyah, feared to our core when the ambasadors from makkah arrived, cried in internal anguish when the torture was inflicted upon the sahabahs. We shivered in fear in the cave and tears fell from our cheeks the way they fell down Abu Bakr radiAllahu anhu's cheeks - the bite of a scorpion would not disturb the rest of Rasoolullah.

The panic and confusion of Uhud was played out infront us as if we were there, and the hurt and anger of b'ir ma'oona and the ifk was so great, it took a break time for us to remember the hypcrite Abdullah ibn ubay al saloon was dead - and Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala was dealing with him.

I could go on - but I will leave it for you to step up, and take the ticket for the most unforgetable journey of your life.
