Dear Ustaz Nazih,
It would be wonderful if somehow you were able to make a video or audio recording of this lecture. I'm sure many of us would love to hear your
lecture.
Thanks,
Mike

Salamu 3alaikum ustazna Nazih,
Greetings bro mike,
It happend today I was browsing your web pages admiring each one of your master pieces, and also came across the lecture notes and thought of how
wonderfull it will be to attend such an event. But sadly ones is so busy over here and the schedule is so very soon, but hopefuly one day will be able
to meet you in person.
I add my voice to the dearest Mike and request if at all possible, to post us some of the lecture materials in video or audio which I am certain it
will shed light on many of the oud aspects discussed here on a daily basis. and will be of great help and guidance for the mass.
And also I would like to ask about the book mentioned on the web site if its ready for people to buy, and if yes how can we get copies of the book, is
it available directly from yoursef or some other outlet.
Thank you ustaz Nazih, and many thanks to Mike who provided us this link through which we met you and many other wonderfull people
good luck with the lecture, and best regards to all the greats of Lebanon
wa al salamu 3alaikum
