I have known Abu Shahadah for over twenty years. WalHamduliLlaah. Over the past few decades, he's been strictly devoted to giving da'wah, admonishing and inspiring the youths to always do the right thing!
On a personal level, I know Abu Shahadah to be someone who is a source of great inspiration to the youth and a dynamic force in the field of da'wah through his lectures and the kinds of naseehah he gives generally.
He is a good family man of great repute whose exemplary character goes a long way as per his dealings with his family and other families and the community at large.
He is one entity whom Allaah Subhana wat-Ta'ala has blessed and continue to bless as a tool for bringing the youth back on the right track and upon the correct and right guidance on the deen of Al-Islaam.
Insha Allaah he is emerging as a force to be reckoned with through his style of da'wah that is unmatched in this day and age in the way he inspires the youth.
May Allaah Subhana wat-Ta'ala increase him and his family in goodness, and also increase in goodness all those who benefit from Abu Shahadah's naseehah and admonition. Aameen.
