What Participants Say

It was indeed a pleasure meeting you yesterday at the PICG Seminar. I was deeply impressed by the quality of presentation and found it extremely lucid, informative and educative. I would like to emphasis that I am writing this note not just for above stated reasons, but for one particular aspect of your personality that impressed me most and has kept me thinking since then! It is off springs like yourself whose parents will always be proud of! I was touched, moved and most impressed that you started the session by invoking the Mercifulness of Allah Subhanah-wa-taala and then coupled it by sending blessings to your parents. I join you in praying to Almighty to keep them (parents)under His choicest blessings.

You were in total control of the course and were teaching the course to the especial points that could help non-financial executives. Your knowledge of the subject was tremendous and learning opportunities that are usually tried to enforce upon the attendees were made so easy for every participant that at no point they felt bored or over loaded. I pay tribute to your knowledge and teaching skills and would like to maintain contact with you in future while facing problems in financial issues that are of vast nature. May Allah SWT Bless you.
