So encouraging to hear these words about Turkey. May Allah bless the defenders of the faith in that country and may He return that country to true Islam.

Shaykh Nuruddin - an Imam in Jamia Masjid Whitby near Toronto - is also on a 40 day Jamat trip to Turkey nowadays Alhamdulillah.

Can anyone shed more light on Shaykh Mahmud Efendi (Hafizahullah) and his efforts in Fatih? Is this the respected Maulana in the following video:

When he met Shaykh Yusuf Motala in the Haram of Madinah a few years ago he came over and kissed him on the forehead. Shaykh Yusuf did the same also.
