Assalam-O-Alaikum Wa-Rahmatullah-i-Wa-Barakatu

Dear Sister in Islam, Dr Farhat Hashmi!

        I am so thankful to ALLAH Subhanahu Taala for bestowing us with you. My heart is full of gratitude and emotions for you and I want to convey my feelings to you before my final journey. You have and are doing a great job which many of us had been wanting to do but could not. May ALLAH SWT Reward you and all those related to you and all those who help you in any way to promote the cause of spreading ALLAH SWT's Message to the world in such a beautiful manner. Ameen.

        I had been in a process of downloading all that's on your site. Everyday when I download something from your site, I pray that you'll always have something for us to listen to. I would like to have your permission to record or make copies and distribute, whatever I download, to our friends and sisters in Islam, I do not expect any worldly fame or gain in this respect. As I mentioned earlier we live here in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.

        Dear sister Farhat, just today when I was listening to your lecture on Rajab I was so moved emotionally and in tears specially when you described Hazrat Mohammad (SAW) being the Imam at Masjid-e-Aqsa before his journey to Mairaj. ALHAMDO-LILLAH all my life I always told myself that "if you are honest in your dealings, strongly believe in ALLAH SWT's Help and do your best to achieve your goal, ALLAH SWT always Helps." And He certainly did even now. I have no words to express myself. I just want to tell you that you are the guiding light I had been in search for since a long time. You have made religion so simple and easy to understand and definitely very interesting too.

        Even though I want to write and express a lot but I certainly do not want to take much of your precious time. Please keep in touch as I will wait very eagerly to hear from you.

        May ALLAH SWT Guide us all to the right path and may He Increase our love and respect for each other for His sake and Our Deen and may He Bless you immensely always. Ameen.

        With a heart full of gratitude and a lot of duas for you.

Your sister in Islam,

Umme-e-Ammara
