Programme with Sheikh Yusuf Estes

Assalamualaikum wbt,

I am helping Pertubuhan AlNidaa' to organise the programmes below

Wasalam, Shima shimaderus@yahoo.co.uk

====================================================================================

Pertubuhan Al Nidaa' in collaboration with IPSI (www.ipsi.com.my) , is organising series of talks for Sheikh Yusuf Estes, when he comes to Malaysia in Nov 2008, inshaAllah. Attached is a short profile of the Sheikh. More information can be found here: www.islamtomorrow.com

The intention of writing to you is to offer you or any other organisation you know, to book the Sheikh for speaking engagements, either in Klang Valley or anywhere in the Southern region (Melaka/Seremban). He is available on the following dates:

i) Sunday 23/11 morning

ii) Monday 24/11 afternoon and evening

iii) Tuesday 25/11 available day only

iv) Wednesday 26/11 - available during day only

v) Friday 28/11 and Saturday 29/11 afternoon

Booking is on first come first serve, basis

The sheikh has not fixed any charges, but we'd reckon interested parties should donate generously (minimum RM1000), considering he is doing a lot of charity and da'wah works. To the organising parties, we'll accept any amount of donation to support our own charity and da'wah works, too. It'll be good if any corporate, esp. Muslim owned to take up a slot for their year-end company's annual dinner, for he is quite an "entertaining" speaker. too. Hence fulfilling the call of da'wah while treating your staff and customers.

Enclosed herewith, too, is the list of topics to choose from. You may also suggest any topic that you wish, provided you let us know much ahead, so that the sheikh can make the necessary preparations.

Another thing is, we'd like to arrange an interfaith dialogue during this time too. If you have contacts of leaders from the faiths, too. it'll be helpful. We'll probably do it either on the Monday or Thursday evening. For this purpose, we are seeking sponsorship to finance the costs of hall rental (that accommodate about 1000 pax), PA system, advertisements, tokens for the speakers, etc. We estimate the costs to be at least RM10,000.

I hope you are able to help us in any way to make the above (da'wah) events a success. Looking forward to hearing from you soon. For more details, kindly contact me at the the # below or via email.
