Bismillah.

A new page in my da’wah has opened. For the most part, I would be invited to a million speaking engagements and in order to accomodate that I would basically prepare my speeches on napkins 5 minutes before the speech begins.

 (Y’know you’ve been there: the shaykh says, as soon as he starts talking, turns to the MC and asks, “What’s the topic again?” Sheesh.)

 Well, call this: Shoyookh Taking the Mic Back.

Islam deserves better, even if that means i’m going to have to say NO more often.

So here is the deal. I’ve designed a formula to produce outstanding speeches. Nothing less then the best:

 1. For every 1 hour of lecture, I will schedule 10 hours of preparation.
2. 8 hours will be research, 1 hour compilation, 1 hour practice (with another person listening, like my mother in law)
3. I will arrive at least 20 minutes before each event.
4. I will recall my ‘greatest speeches’ anchor and “relive” those speeches.
5. I will play the scene in my mind of an oustanding speech
6. I will stand up and DELIVER!

 This Perished nations 4 part Halaqah series is my first attempt.  Every time I speak, I demand that a super duper awesome poster be designed, a message sent out to our www.Successinislam.com mailing list, and the audio be available within 24 hours for everyone online to benefit.

Enjoy, in sha Allah.
