JapaneseMuslims.com folks just got the word that Dr. Yusuf Estes, a prominent American Muslim scholar and preacher based in the US, has accepted the invitation by Japan Muslim Peace Federation (JMPF) to become the keynote speaker at the upcoming annual seminar on Islam at The University of Tokyo on October 14. The details of the seminar are yet to be finalized.
Actually, Maqsood Ahmed of JapaneseMuslims.com contacted Br. Yusuf Estes to visit Japan to deliver the keynote speech at the upcoming JMPF seminar and meet with Japanese and foreign Muslims living in the country. Now, it is a great news that we have been able to get the nod from Dr. Yusuf Estes. His visit will Inshallah, help the Dawah activities among the not yet Muslims living in the country. We will keep you updated about his detailed schedule while in Japan. So, please stay tuned.
Yusuf Estes is not a DR! Please correct that. Yusuf Estes does NOT even claim to be a scholar (NEW VIDEO): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x5nXJ-8F5G8
Assalamu alaikum,
Thank you for correcting me. Actually, no one calls him or herself a scholar. So I guess we do not need to worry about this issue any more.
Thanks anyway for pinting out about this issue.
Wassalamu alaikum
