In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful.

This week I find myself at the First International Islamic Retreat at the Islamic Center of Barrackpore, Trinidad. I have only limited internet access, so I will not be able to devote my full attention to Emails and comments. I will endeavor to provide a brief summary of each session and report the event as thoroughly as possible, but I will not have time to provide my own thoughts and analysis until I return. This is the first event of this kind in the Caribbean. It will go from Shawwal 12-17 1430 (October 1-6, 2009).
