“I usually pride myself on being good with my words and knowing exactly how to explain my thoughts but I'm struggling to accurately describe Brother Belal. We worked together closely at ACCESS which allowed me to witness Br Belal's kindness and compassion. The care he provided his clients was unmatched. As a therapist, I often referred my clients to Br Belal for employment services and I would constantly only hear great feedback during our sessions. The clients all appreciated him and were grateful for him going above and beyond. Br Belal is a reliable man who shows up for people. He is the type of human you would feel lucky to have crossed paths with in this life. I've also watched many of Br Belal's khutbas and I've learned a lot from him. You can feel the passion in his tone and see how religion brings peace to his heart. It translates in his interactions with others. Br Belal is a pure man with only good intentions and I'm proud to know him. “

“Br Belal's sunnah revival program really encouraged me to incorporate daily sunnahs into my life and also made me realize the ease with which I could do it. I liked having check points because they kept me accountable and also reminded me to complete my weekly task. Asides from just doing the physical actions of the sunnah I also felt that the program taught me a new way of looking at sunnah acts and seeing how beneficial they are. “

Ghinwah Karkaba

“When I first started volunteering at Masjid Al-Salam with my brother, we met wonderful and hard-working people. Br. Belal was one of these people, and he introduced us to the masjid library, and allowed us to check out the Islamic books that were there, including Qurans with English translation, stories of the life of our Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), Q&A about Islam, and much more. That was 3 years ago, and still to this day, Br. Belal is someone who loves giving his time towards Islam to spread its teachings. His audience is diverse, and he styles his lectures accordingly. He makes sure to include family topics in his lectures, so that not only do children know to listen to their parents, but parents are encouraged to listen to their children as well. Being a part of the Masjid allowed me to be a part of many events, including anti-bullying, where Br. Belal spoke about. His topics were always of importance because they were both relevant and inspiring. He spoke a great deal about Prophet stories, and I think that's super great because it's always important to have a reminder on the influential people that we should be following, the people who will bring us closer to Allah (swt). When Br. Belal speaks, he speaks from the heart, and that is why his lectures hit home with the audience.”

Belal allows himself to always listen and learn from everyone around him. He is very eager to learn, embraces new knowledge and is very humble when sharing some of his wisdom. Br.
