Alhamdulillah I finally got my laptop back (which has a SD slot), and was able to transfer all photos from the event to the computer, and they are now online in the photo gallery. (Feel free to contact me for the password if you know me personally). It truly was an amazing event on so many levels.

First and foremost, it was a fundraiser, primarily for tens of thousands of orphans that Islamic Relief provides aid and assistance for every day, as well as for those who have been affected by war and tribulation in Lebanon and Palestine. Alhamdulillah, over $ 190,000 was raised that evening for these causes. It was an honor volunteering for this organization alongside so many great brothers and sisters this past Saturday. May Allah (SWT) mercifully reward the organizers, volunteers, as well as donors for their efforts.

As far as the concert itself goes, it was great. This was my second time seening Sami Yusuf perform live, and it was great. Accompanied by the drummer from Native Deen, as well as an Iraqi percussionist and his usual background singers, they put on a great performance. I actually had the opportunity to chill backstage with Tamzid and Haroon during Sami’s performance. In fact, I even got to shake Sami Yusuf’s hand and got him coffee from Dunkin Donuts! (Lots of backstage pics are in my photo gallery!)

Here is a brief video clip of Hasbi Rabbi Live that I recorded while backstage:

And finally, due to popular demand (sorry I dont feel comfortable sharing the password for pics from my photo album publicly), here are a few pictures from the Islamic Relief Concert availalble for all to see:
