A Great Lesson from the Unknown Local Sheikh - Sayed Hussain Makke [ENG SUBS]

Excerpt of the lecture delivered by Sayed Hussain Makke in Masumeen Islamic Centre, Toronto

Incident narrated by Ayatollah Sayyid Mohsin al-Hakeem

“As for those who strive in Us, We shall surely guide them in Our ways.” (Surah al-Ankaboot, verse 69)
