Dear Readers,
Powerful Words of Nouman Ali Khan, please find below our weekly pearls of wisdom, this week we present to you the powerful thought provoking words of Nouman Ali Khan. We hope you’ll enjoy them as much as many of us do. Nouman Ali Khan is an inspirational speaker and scholar. He’s a founder of Bayyinah Institute in the United States.
Every single success you experience is a combination of two things: your effort and Allah’s help. When you don’t put in enough effort, Allah does not give His barakah. And sometimes you might put in a lot of effort but you may not see the result you expected. That, also, is Allah’s barakah.
When you help people, don’t wait around to hear them say, “Thank you.” A lot of times we do good things, but in the back of our mind we’re hoping to get some appreciation. But if you make your intentions pure, and you expect only from Allah, He will take more care of you than you could ever imagine.
Sabr is not remaining quiet and allowing anger to build up inside you. Sabr is to talk about what’s bothering you without losing control of your emotions.
When you’re going through something hard and you start wondering where Allah is, just remember, the Teacher is always quiet during a test.
When you find yourself in a position to help someone, be happy because Allah is answering that person’s prayer through you.
It is not true that if we had true faith we would not be sad. Prophets (as), and righteous people experienced a great deal of sadness. The Quran is full of stories in which the central theme is sadness. Sadness is a reality of life. The Quran is not there to eliminate sadness, but to navigate it. Sadness is one of the tests of life, just as happiness, and anger are tests.
The most important investment of our time is in our people and in our youth.
