#Ustadh Nouman Ali Khan

[quranwithsehar]

The one best thing that I have done for myself is building a relationship with the book of Allah. A relationship that compels me to open the Quran at least once a day. This has been my goal for a very long time, and it has done wonders for me. I want to share how I have created this habit because Ramadan is here, and we all need this.

1. I started reading one ayah per day with tafsir. Just one. No more. Even if I wanted to read more, I stopped myself. Because if I get overwhelmed, Shaytan will make it really hard for me to resume. My goal has been to read at least one ayah but read Quran daily, without any breaks. Reading just one ayah with tafsir and while taking notes hardly takes 10-15 minutes. So, it gets easy and does not take much time. You can easily start your Quran journey with this approach.

2. I have not set a scheduled time - nope! I will read at 1 am, sometimes at 3 am if that's when I get done with everything else, and sometimes in the afternoon if that's the only time I can take out of my schedule to read the Quran. The goal is to read daily, not read only after Fajr. I mean, it's awesome if you can do it, but since I struggle with this, I have not restricted myself. This has made a significant difference in my Quran journey.

3. I am taking it slow. I am not in a rush to complete the entire Quran in a month or year. My goal is to learn it thoroughly, not complete it in a given time frame. So, with no rush and no time bomb ticking over my head, I feel comfortable and easy to stay connected with the Quran.

4. Look up your favorite Ustadh or course - for me, it's always been Ustadh Nouman Ali Khan. So, I have subscribed to Bayyinah, which means I know what I am going to read today, I know the next lesson is saved there, I don't have to create a timetable or a schedule of what to read and how to read. It's all available in the Bayyinah app. Simply login, play the video, and start learning.

That's it. Just simple 4 steps. Nothing big. So, Ramadan Kareem, and may this month become an opportunity for you to build a long-lasting relationship with the Quran. Ameen Ya Rab.

What is Success, with a Capital S?

If you're someone like me who's in a quest for the actual definition of success and what it looks like especially in contrast to the narrative that we're constantly fed by the Western society, please do yourself a favor and study Surat al-'Asr. I'm not kidding. Please spare some time and spend those hours with this Surah and your worldview and perspective will shift 360°. Wallah, I generally do not compare myself in any aspect to other people because that only serves to aggravate my anxiety and self-esteem issues but when people around me constantly tried to paint a different picture of what success in this lowest life looks like than what I believed, it started to spur my thoughts for the worst. I wasn't seeing anyone who held the same fikr (thought) as mine around me and that only compounded the matter. I was even “counselled” by a close relative because in their opinion, I as a Muslim woman who dressed modesty with khimaar and niqab, had an extra degree of responsibility when it came to how non-muslims considered Islam as a whole. That conversation had a severe impact on my thinking to an extent that I had to leave the room bawling. Then somehow with the help of Allah I gained my composure and continued with my life until that narrative started to resurface through relative and people's indirect comment on how I was living my life (as a student of the Qur'an) and that it wasn't getting me anywhere in my future. Wallah, it was only getting worse and I use to make abundant du'as to Allah until Ramadan happened and I remember crying my heart out at night to Allah, that I feel so worthless and a huge failure. It felt like everyone around me has achieved something unlike me. How many degrees have I acquired? Here I was learning Arabic and Tajweed among other things and people has a look on their face that shouted, loser! I cried to Allah, that I know ya Rabb, I cannot be worthless because you have certainly honoured Bani Adam but I don't feel that in my heart. I want to live my life according to Your definition of success and not what other people shove down my throat. And SubhanAllah, today despite being preoccupied with other stuff, I randomly decided to watch a lecture on Surat al-Asr (by Ustadh Nouman Ali Khan). and Wallahi, that was the answer to my du'a. It felt like my Rabb was shaking me by the shoulders and conversing with me through it. It sent a wave of relief upon me like I hadn't felt before. I started to understand why so many people claim that this particular Surah brought them back towards deen and changed their life, which i didn't use to appreciate back in the day. i was struggling to resist my tears. And although I haven't finished studying it yet (one can never get enough of the Qur'an) that one lecture just brought so much confidence to me. I can proudly claim that yes my definition of success differs from yours because I live according to the definition of the All-Knowing and All-Wise. I don't have to join the rat race like every other person to feel significant and worthy. This religion started as something strange and it will become something strange. Good news for the strangers!!

WHAT’S WRONG WITH THE WORLD OF ISLAM, THE MUSLIM UMMAH AT LARGE

Ustadh Nouman Ali Khan reflects on the crisis in Gaza and the collective frustration felt by Muslims and decent human beings. He acknowledges the emotional paralysis caused by the suffering of innocent children and the desire for comfort and reassurance from religious leaders.

However, Khan emphasizes the importance of composure and control over emotions before speaking out. He questions whether providing temporary comfort through speeches is truly beneficial and instead, encourages Muslims to focus on their own powerlessness and the need for self-improvement. Khan believes that the real frustration lies within the Muslim community and the need to address the root causes of their weakness and inability to effectively respond to crises.

Nouman Ali Khan emphasizes the importance of both individual and collective action for the Muslim Ummah (community) to address the crises it faces. He suggests that the Ummah needs to focus on an agenda for reform inwardly and unity outwardly. Khan uses the example of the Israelites in the Holy Qur’an to illustrate the consequences of neglecting inward reform and the importance of unity in addressing external challenges. He encourages listeners to reflect on their own spiritual growth and the need for collective action to build momentum towards positive change.

He discusses the importance of adhering to Allah's laws, specifically in relation to financial regulations and personal conduct. He criticizes past communities for disregarding Allah's laws and warns against repeating their mistakes. Khan emphasizes that observing taqwa (fear of Allah) is essential in all aspects of life, including financial dealings.

He shares his personal experience of finding it challenging to conduct business with Muslims due to their lack of adherence to financial regulations. Khan encourages individuals to examine their own lives and ensure they are living up to the first condition of Allah's law by abiding by financial regulations and treating inheritance and financial obligations justly. He emphasizes that this is the first step towards commanding good and forbidding evil in both personal and community life.

Nouman Ali Khan emphasizes the importance of both internal and external aspects of Islam, using family law as an example. He explains that internal and external issues are interconnected, and one cannot be neglected while focusing on the other.

Khan then encourages Muslims to focus on their unity and forget about disagreements with each other by collectively obsessing over the Hioly Quran. He uses the analogy of sports fans to illustrate how a shared passion can bring people together, and argues that the Muslim Ummah should be united by their obsession with the Holy Qur’an rather than their disagreements.

Khan believes that the overwhelming divisions among Muslims are a manifestation of how far they have strayed from their alignment with the Holy Quran.

Allahu (Syubhanahu wa Ta’ala) advises Ummah in the Holy Qur’an:

وَٱعۡتَصِمُواْ بِحَبۡلِ ٱللَّهِ جَمِيعٗا وَلَا تَفَرَّقُواْۚ وَٱذۡكُرُواْ نِعۡمَتَ ٱللَّهِ عَلَيۡكُمۡ إِذۡ كُنتُمۡ أَعۡدَآءٗ فَأَلَّفَ بَيۡنَ قُلُوبِكُمۡ فَأَصۡبَحۡتُم بِنِعۡمَتِهِۦٓ إِخۡوَٰنٗا وَكُنتُمۡ عَلَىٰ شَفَا حُفۡرَةٖ مِّنَ ٱلنَّارِ فَأَنقَذَكُم مِّنۡهَاۗ كَذَٰلِكَ يُبَيِّنُ ٱللَّهُ لَكُمۡ ءَايَٰتِهِۦ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تَهۡتَدُونَ

And hold fast, all of you together, to the Rope of Allah (i.e. this Qur’an), and be not divided among yourselves, and remember Allah’s Favour on you, for you were enemies one to another but He joined your hearts together, so that, by His Grace, you became brethren (in Islamic Faith), and you were on the brink of a pit of Fire, and He saved you from it. Thus Allah makes His Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.,) clear to you, that you may be guided. Noble Qur’an, Surah Al-e-Imran, Ayah 103.

He addresses the intellectual discourse within the Muslim community and the importance of deeply engaging with the Holy Qur’an. He laments that many Muslims, despite being raised in Muslim families, may not have fully understood the Holy Qur’an until later in life. Khan argues that the Muslim intellectual discourse should be rooted in the Holy Qur’an, and that Muslims should use it to engage in intelligent conversations with the outside world.

He also mentions that the Holy Qur’an is broken up into three target audiences: the general public who need to hear something good, the "Hawks" who seek to control the masses through propaganda, and those who need to understand the arguments of the Hawks and respond accordingly. Khan emphasizes the importance of equipping oneself with the Holy Qur’an to effectively engage with all three groups.

Nouman Ali Khan emphasizes the importance of engaging different segments of society in the propagation of Islam. He identifies three groups: the general public, the intellectuals, and the "Hawks" or extremists. According to Khan, each group requires a different approach to understanding and accepting Islam.

He argues that intellectuals, who are often found in universities and other institutions of higher learning, need to be engaged with intelligent conversations that cater to their level of thinking.

Khan believes that this is an opportune time to have such conversations, as intellectuals around the world are questioning their allegiance to Western ideas in light of the heinous actions committed in the name of those ideologies. He emphasizes that the first change in the world comes from a change in thought process, and that the Holy Qur’an targets all three audiences with its message.

Khan sees this as a wake-up call for the Muslim Ummah and for every individual to align themselves with the agenda set out in the Holy Qur’an, and to recognize that they have the power to bring about change with strong hearts and minds.

The Mercy of Allah - Nouman Ali Khan

Ustadh Nouman Ali Khan talks about the Mercy of Allah and how it covers our lives. We sometimes take Allah's mercy for granted and hold on to sins, which is our failure to understand our relationship with Allah, His commandments and our purpose to fulfil those commandments in this world. Moreover, a sin, regardless of how insignificant it may seem, if repeated consistently without repentance, can lead us to punishment on the day of judgement.

Do not Facebook your marriage problems. When you're tempted to complain about our marital problems online, remind yourself have you ever thanked your spouse in any way on social media for making him feel special??! No, we are not suggesting you do so for fear of Evil eyes/ Hasadd but remember the One Above who has bestowed blessings on you and thank Him. As well, remember your enemy (Shaitan) and work on kicking him out of your house and family. Speak to Allah first and foremost. He is Al-Mujeeb (The Responsive).

How can I be forgiven after what I've done?

1. Start by guiding your thoughts:

"If you don't guide your thoughts, the next result of that would be misguided actions and Shaytan loves to play with your thoughts."

2. Remorse:

Regret over your sins is the first sign that you want to return back to Allah but DON'T LET SHAYTAN MAKE YOU HOPELESS".

3. Beware of the trap:

"Before you sin, Shaytan wants you to think it's no big deal, after you're done he wants to convince you it's too big of a deal Allah will never forgive you."

Do not fall in the trap of Shaytan and know that there is always hope.

4. What if you've fallen into the trap?:

'I know Allah won't forgive me'.

"You and I have no right to make assumptions about Allah that over-rides what he says about himself.

اللَّهُ غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ

(Allah is Forgiving and Merciful)

[Qur'an 49:5]

5. Why would Allah forgive me though?: DUA OF MUSA عليه السلام:

رَبِّ إِنِّى ظَلَمْتُ نَفْسِى فَٱغْفِرْ لِى فَغَفَرَ لَهُۥٓ

Rabbi inni zalamtu nafsi faghfirli faghafaralah

“My Lord, indeed I have wronged myself, so forgive me”

'wronged myself': which means I've done wrong and the first victim of that action is me.

"faghfirli": so forgive me

"faghafaralah": The ayah continues with saying Allah forgave him

6. What if the person I wronged doesn't forgive me?

"If you are sincere in your forgiveness, your forgiveness is not dependent on another human being, it only comes from Allah."

7. Conclusion:

"Allah removed the burden of our sins from us, because he gave us the door of tawbah.

When your tawbah is sincere, your heart is resentful, you are full of shame and you turn to Allah, beg Allah to forgive you and make a commitment to Allah that you wouldn't fall into it again; ITS OVER!"

May Allah help us come out of the cycle of negativity and allow us a way make to make healthy tawbah to him.✨
