He lived and was raised in Canada and traveled the city as a young man (in order to) study Islam. He was very intelligent and a unique charismatic personality.

The mosques fought him in the first place, why did he take money from people, why did he spend (spend) money on posters and "Marketing" but continued?

I remember the amount of laughter we laughed at the jurisprudence of death course, for example, and the amount of crying while we were studying the merits of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him. Its branches are in America, Canada, Europe, Indonesia, Malaysia, etc. I know families who used to take two-year leave to attend all courses (training courses) anywhere, not for a degree, but to enjoy science.”
