As we drove home after a day’s work it was so pleasing to hear different, but interesting subjects being discussed each day. The simplicity and style in which many difficult topics, especially “science” from the Quraan, was explained, made one to look forward to more each day. Not only I, but even other motorists enjoyed the shows. We wish the Sheikh well and may the Lord grant him good health so that he can continue serving the community and imparting knowledge. Thanks also to East Wave Radio.
