We praise Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, we thank him for everything he has granted us. We ask Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala

to send blessings and salutations upon Muhammad salallahu alayhi wa sallam and all his companions

may Allah bless them all and may Allah bless every single one of us and our offspring those to come up to the end of time

I mean my brothers and sisters a beautiful venue lovely place here at this University of the Philippines and

I really appreciate the fact that you have been sitting here from quite a while and the fact that in shah Allah

You have waited all day alhamdulillah. We ask Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala to make this evening a success and to let us go home as people who have changed and transformed for the sake of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala

that we are supposed to be looking up to and at the same time

to be able to

deliver that message to the generations that are to follow in a way that the day we meet with Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala he will be pleased with us

and thereafter in shah Allah I will go through the story of one of the companions of the prophet peace be upon him by the name of salman al-Farici

salman from Persia

and we ask Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala to help us draw lessons from the stories because

there is no point in knowing a story without actually going through what lessons we have to derive from that same story
