14. Conflict Resolution

Returning to Allah

Ustadh Nouman Ali Khan showcases in the lecture on how we should never lose hope in Allah in spite of innumerable shortcomings and misdeeds that we might have committed in this lifetime. Say, “O My servants who have transgressed against themselves [by sinning], do not despair of the mercy of Allah. Indeed, Allah forgives all sins. Indeed, it is He who is the Forgiving, the Merciful” (Qur’an 39:53). In the above Ayah, Allah SWT is addressing two different audiences. The first one addressed is the...

The Want of Plenty, Distracted You

Ustadh Nouman Ali Khan delves on an explicit explanation of the two Ayats from Surah At-Takathur. The purpose behind this is to make it easy for people to remember Allah, even after a Dars is done. The Ustadh hopes that if one can recite those Ayahs and enjoy something Allah SWT calls Khushoo’, concentration, humility in the prayer, then the end to the means has been achieved. The word ILHA in the Arabic Language translates it as “DISTRACTION” actually comes from the word LAHU which originally i...

Lessons From the story of Musa (AS)

Ustadh Nouman Ali Khan acquaints us with the lessons imparted to us from an amazing individual that fascinates our imagination in the Quran and he is Moosa (AS). His narrative is mentioned at many places in the Quran and every time it's mind-boggling. The Ustadh shares with us tidbits that belong to Surah Taha where the dialogue between Moosa AS and Firaun is discussed and elucidated upon. Elaborating on various Ayahs of the Qur'an via the stories shared with us, in one such instance - we are in...

Taking Back our Marrative

Ustadh Nouman Ali Khan talks about taking our narrative back and he divides the conversation into two parts - the conversation has to be taken back from the forces outside of ourselves and the forces within ourselves People have always tried to hijack the narrative which is evident in the case of all Messengers of Allah ﷺ. Their portrayal started with character assassination; of them being accused of having agendas other than their actual agenda or it being a point of ridicule. Whether it was wo...

18. Types of Friends Mentioned in Quran

Ustadh Nouman Ali Khan discusses the different types of friends mentioned in the Qur'an. WALLI (The Protector, The Helper) - A friend who cares for us, when we are in trouble and he guides us. It also means a friend with whom one has great intimacy, with him or her, we feel warm & comfortable. SADDIQUE - A genuine friend, who is our friend for our sake, not to get any kind of benefit from us. The one who never gives up on us when we start making mistakes. He remains in touch with us even if ...

16. Are you Living a Dream

Ustadh Nouman Ali Khan delves and ponders on finding the true purpose of our existence with a “Thought Process”. Human beings have a sense of common decency across religions and cultures. So when we realized that there is a Creator, we also realized that He has created us in such a powerful way and He has given you abilities that He has not given to any other creatures. So when we acknowledge there’s a Creator and He created us amazingly well, with this profound intellect that He gave us and all...

15. Being The Best to our Parents

Usthad Nouman Ali Khan delves into the pertinent and essential topic of being the best version of ourselves whilst we are with our parents. In Surah Al Isra, Verses 23 to 25, “And Your Lord has decreed that you Worship none but Him. And that you be dutiful to your parents. If one of them or both of them attain old age In your life, Say not to them a word of disrespect, nor shout at them but address them In terms of honour. And lower unto them the wing of submission and humility through Mercy, an...

12. Responsibility of ''Being Witness to Humanity''

Ustadh Nouman Ali Khan delves into a deep discussion on what it actually means to be responsible for being witness to Humanity. In the Qur'an, Surah Al Baqarah, Verses 142 - 143, “The foolish among the people will say, "What has turned them away from their qiblah, which they used to face?" Say, "To Allah belongs the east and the west. He guides whom He wills to a straight path."And thus we have made you a just community that you will be witnesses over the people and the Messenger will be a witne...

11. The Coolness of Eyes

Ustadh Nouman Ali Khan delves into an analysis of the following verse from the Holy Qur'an. “And those who say: Our Lord! Bestow on us from our wives and our offspring who will be the comfort of our eyes, and make us leaders for the Muttaqun.’” (Al-Furqan 25:74) It is clear that the purpose of this Dua that we make often is due to our incessant inward love and fondness for our family. We strive endlessly into making them acquainted with the main principles and positive laws of Islam and the path...

10. Characteristics of the People of Jannah

Ustadh Nouman Ali Khan delves into the important characteristics of the Dwellers of Jannah in this enlightening lecture. In Surah Ale Imran, verses 133 to 136, “Be quick in the race for forgiveness from your Lord, and for a Garden whose width is that (of the whole) of the heavens and of the earth, prepared for the righteous. Those who spend (freely), whether in prosperity, or in adversity; who restrain anger, and pardon (all) men- for Allah loves those who do good. And those who, having done som...

9. Contradicting Community

Ustadh Nouman Ali Khan explicitly talks about the people that are trying to hold on to any strand of religion but have become the outcasts of this ummah in their own homes and family and are the objects of ridicule. If one is studying the deen and destroying family relations at the same time, we must realize that our priorities are somewhere they shouldn’t be. It is paramount that we fix family ties. This is a fundamental of our religion. It’s a fundamental premise of our Deen. How do we go abou...

8. Quran and Science

Ustadh Nouman Ali Khan takes up a topic of intrigue and is laced with interest for the modern generation. This lecture deals with the concept of science in the Quran. The Quran in Muslim belief is two things in one. It’s a divine message but at the same time, it is also a miracle. Miracles are a religious thing and are certainly not a scientific thing. What is a miracle in Islam? The classical scholars of Islam have enlisted many conditions for something to be considered a miracle according to I...

6. Youth's attitude towards Quran

5. Signs of a Hypocrite

Ustadh Nouman Ali Khan acquaints us with the signs of a hypocrite and how one should be wary of them. Allah (SWT) tells us in the Quran, “The hypocrites, they are in the lowest pit of Hellfire.”The lower the hellfire gets, the tougher it gets. The lowest pit possible in Hellfire is reserved for al-Munaafiqoon—the hypocrites. Allah tells His Messenger ﷺ twice in the Quran: It is all the same for them whether you ask forgiveness for them or do not ask forgiveness for them; never will Allah forgive...

4. Do you intend to question the Messenger (SAW)

3. Why should I believe in God?

Ustadh Nouman Ali Khan discusses at length about the topic - Why should I believe in God? "How do you know that God exists?” “How do you come to faith?” “How did faith come to you?" These are the pertinent questions asked by an atheist and Ustadh tries to elaborate on the answers with soundproof. We are now acquainted with the Quran’s reasoning. The Quran does not ask the question or answer the question “Does God exist?”. The Quran is Allah speaking himself. And He is in conversation with his cr...

2. Islamophobia

Ustadh Nouman Ali Khan analyses the goals of Islamophobia and the need for Muslims to comprehend the tricks being adopted for the same. He advises a spiritual and pragmatic approach to be adopted. He goes on to examine the reason for this xenophobia and Islamophobia that is widely prevalent around us. He assists the Muslims via ways to overcome such trials and tribulations in any part of the world. The unprecedented hatred against the Muslims, the rise of anti-Islamophobic crimes and much more c...

1. When Will you submit?

Ustadh Nouman Ali Khan makes us ponder on the 54th Ayah of Surah-An Nisa of the Noble Qur'an. “Or do they envy people for what Allah has given them of His bounty? But we had already given the family of Abraham the Scripture and wisdom and conferred upon them a great kingdom.” Surah Nisa includes many instructions for Muslims and how to set up themselves as a community. And in it it also has principles for us of how to go beyond the community and really truly become a nation. So you know there is...
