The evening was broken down into two sections; the first part of which included members of the Afghan youth presenting various Islamic narratives and verses from the Holy Quran. The second part of the program primarily consisted of a speech by our most special and distinguished guest Dr. Farid Younos.  Dr. Younos, sociologist, researcher, and author, joined us all the way from San Francisco to inspire us with his words of wisdom.

Dr. Younos’s lecture spanned an hour and was based on Islamic Culture. He presented his speech initially in the English language and followed with Farsi Dari. Dr. Farid Younos has a tremendous talent for speaking to an audience, especially in grasping the attention of the younger generation.  His enlightening speech captured the essence of how to be a good Muslim living in the western society.  After his speech, Dr. Younos spent approximately 30 minutes responding to questions from the audience.   

The program ended with the youth presenting a crystal plaque to thank Dr. Farid Younos for his hard work, dedication and diligence. May Allah (SWT) bless him for his hard work and dedication to Islam and towards his fellow Afghans worldwide.
