## Longer summary

An introducer opens the gathering, recalling a saying that walking on water, in the air or on fire is no miracle but walking on the earth is, that every step, breath and heartbeat is a miracle, and that the greatest is belonging to the ummah of Muhammad. Likening blessings to aid packages dropped to the displaced, the introducer says today's package has come via Birmingham and introduces Mufti Abu Layth, who confirms in passing that he studied in Damascus first. According to the introduction, Mufti studied in Damascus for about a year and a half, memorised the Quran in Islamabad, completed the Dars-i Nizami in Karachi and a two-year mufti course, then a master's, and is studying for a degree in psychology.
