Organising tours for scholars has been Fuad’s speciality for three decades.

His first major event was to organise a nationwide tour of the late South African scholar, Shaykh Ahmed Deedat which took place in 1977 (see picture – Fuad is on the right).
It was a difficult proposition: he had to smuggle Shaykh Deedat into Kenya (which at the time was supposed to officially have no links with the apartheid state) and two deal with the vociferous and powerful Christian lobby who were opposed to Shaykh Deedat’s visit.

Fuad remained one of Shaykh Deedat’s friend and confidant until Shaykh Deedat died in 2005. Those who have good memory, or are long in the tooth, will remember that only MuslimWise, the magazine Fuad found in 1989, was being given out at the Royal Albert Hall during Shaykh Deedat’s lecture there in July 1989.
