Comments from the participants:
“I pass my gratitude to the World Federation through Bilal Muslim Mission of Kenya for organizing this seminar. It is out of the seminar that I have come up with new methodologies of teaching the Madh-hab of Ahlul Bayt (A.S). The seminar has developed me spiritually, morally and has made me intellectual on various religion aspects of Ahlul Bayt (A.S) madh-hab and how to nurture the problems of Wahhabi who are undermining and denting the dignity of shiasm through media and websites. May Allah (S.W.T) reward the sponsors and organizers of the seminar a high rank in paradise together with Ahlul Bayt (A.S). Amin”
