    To me, Shaikh Yawar’s value to the Ummah goes far beyond his motivational, thought-provoking talks and writings; his value lies in the fact that he is a person who leads by example, and is a living, breathing role model to all Muslims.

    I’ve known Shaikh Yawar for many years now, but I cannot be grateful enough to this day that I’ve been blessed with someone I can use as a benchmark in my religious as well as personal and professional life.

    Simply put, you just don’t get people like Shaikh Yawar these days.

    Excellent and as usual, right on target masha Allah. I hope this is spread far & wide for all audiences and not only those who already know Yawar Uncle. As mentioned before, may Allah truly bless him for BEING what he propogates. Standard Bearers Academy is what we need to raise the Umars & Abu Bakrs of tomorrow insha Allah. I ask Allah to make it a reality in our lifetime, in front of our own eyes, Aameen.

    Yes ‘an action is wealth a million’ and as Muslims we need to go into action rather than keeping our Islam in homes and houses. The integrated system of providing education is very admirable, were secular disciplines are taught alongside Islamic disciplines.

    I wish all success towards the standard bearer academy.

    I have enjoyed the talk.
