May 8

Today Mawlana Shaykh Nazim, Mawlana Shaykh Hisham, His Highness Raja Ashman, Dato Mohamed Moiz and the other members of the ISCA delegation visited the Tokyo offices of the Sharp Corporation, on an official invitation. There, they were greeted at the door by all the top executives in traditional Japanese style: most senior officers first. 

The visit to Sharp Corporate Headquarters was initiated by many of the directors of Sharp in Malaysia, resulting in a private invitation to Shaykh Nazim and the ISCA delegation by the company's directors and Corporate Senior Executive Director Buheita Fujiwara. Sharp Electronics is a company with over 60,000 employees worldwide in 23 nations, (32,000 in Japan). The directors described the "world of Sharp", detailing information on the corporation. Tthe reception for  the Shaykh was broadcast on big screen television throughout Sharp Corporation buildings. 

Sharp was kind enough to provide a hotel accommodations and transportation (a minibus available 24x7), exclusively for Mawlana and the ISCA delegation for the entire 9-day stay.

Many employees of the corporation took the Shaykh's hand seeking his blessings and asked for the Shaykh's prayers for the continued success of Sharp. The Shaykh made du`a for them in response to the great respect  they showed him. 

The following evening the company is hosting a dinner in honor of the Shaykh and ISCA executives and staff, and in honor of HRH Raja Ashman Shah and Dato Mohammed Moiz, son-in-law of the Sultan of Bahang of Malaysia.
