LET’S TALK
The impact of 21st century living all too often leaves us feeling powerless, and wondering why someone doesn't do something about the problems we face.

He talks of lessons to be gained from the lives of the great prophets of God, relates stories from the companions of Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H), discusses world related issues such as the civil rights movement, peace movement and relief work.
