I'm new to Islam. I've been struggling my whole life wondering about my identity. It's as if my whole life has been just one journey to my discovery of Islam. Growing up in a mostly white, Western/Christian paradigm, nothing answered my deep questions.. The answers are in Islam. I'm sure of it. Some family and friends have raised eyebrows.. There are many different scholars of Islam on RU-vid, I don't want to say which ones I don't like, but I get a really good feeling from Nouman Ali Khan. Very uplifting lecture..salaam
Very happy to read your comment brother Jason Mckenzie. My native tongue is not English, but of all the hundreds of Muslim scholars around the globe, Nouman Ali Khan is one of the few lecturers and Quran teachers that I specifically listen to although his lectures are in English, and the reason is because he does indeed have something different and great to offer in his lectures and wisdom. May Allah Almighty reward his efforts with the best of rewards.
salam brother Jason and welcome. I read your comment and wanted to advice you to be careful where you take your information from, since Islam has a couple of sects and you could watch a video(or read a book) from someone that doesnt belong to the major sect of Islam which is Sunni. 90 percent of Muslims are Sunnis, about 10 percent are Shia and there are some other minorities like Sufis...etc. So please be careful, and at best go to your local Mosque to get further guidance on wnat sources of Info are reliable.
I'm preparing for IELTS exam. Many people advised me to watch ''English movies". When I started watching ''English Movies" I was feeling like I'm going away from Islam that was a bad feeling there is a lot of fitna in English movies.So, I tried to find an alternative to learn English and then I found your lectures they are great I'm learning about Islamic teachings and English too. Jazak Allah
@@user-dm4ss9iz3d I stopped consuming any form of western entertainment products and I found I was truly corrupt because of it. May Allah purify our souls.
Honestly I am at a loss for words..this man is so.. I cant even... he's the best! He has helped me and inspired me on innumerable levels. I pray he gets the best in this dunyah and in akhirah. May Allah bless him and protect him and his family and grant him from amongst His vast treasure! Ameeeeen!
I was feeling a bit demotivated to study and have been for a long time and I have exams coming up, so I decided to listen to a random Nouman Ali Khan talk to feel relaxed and get some insight. And I picked the right one, Subhanallah!! Thank you so much for motivating me to study, i was about to listen to another lecture of yours but I realised I shouldn't overseek advice and should just go study right now :)
man. when he speaks this way, it totally brings my focus and attention like 100% to him-- I don't listen to anything else. I need his speaking skills..
The advice he gives are world-class! It's so true, yet beautiful at the same time. I don't even know how to express it. There's so much I can internalize from this, and the first on my list is : "Apply yourself in anything you do. Whatever you jump into, dive in. Dive in. And really dive in. And don't be afraid to fail and try things." Jazakumullah
@@abdulrehmaan153 I just saw this message because of your reply. I can assure you this is not something I would say. It looks like someone used my profile to post such an odd comment. I have nothing but respect for brother Khan and you brother, please disregard the previous comment.
This is one of the most helpful videos I've ever watched. I am at a point where I don't know what to do but it makes sense to go out there and try things rather than sit and ask advice from every one you know and then be confused and do nothing, Do not be afraid of failure, it only exposes the cracks in the wall. It shows you what you are good at and like and what you do not like. Taken in this sense, is failure really failure? Salaams
i am so glad Allah sent me and sent this video my way. I have been suffering from a bad identity crisis ever since COVID started, and I feel depressed, and I feel like I'm walking in quick sand, like i can't keep up with my life. I feel like my world has shrunk and I have lost many parts of myself and neglected myself and now I really don't know who I am anymore. I prayed so much and for so long for Allah to help me with this identity crisis, and he sent this video to me in such divine timing, alhamdullah. Thank you so much Nouman Ali Khan, your lectures have been helping me and continue to help me live my life from anew. I pray for the best for you, always.
I'm Shiia and I enjoy ur videos so much.. alhamdolellah that there are knowledgeable people that don't use their time in separating ppl with different beliefs but instead can make these useful videos
@show-girl and why are you mentioning that youre shia? Why cant you just enjoy it and keep quite about what sect you belong to? Do you want us to clap for you? smh i dont see the neccessity of you bringing that up. Anyways good for you.
Jackline Omar I said that because before writing that comment, I was on facebook and was attacked by so many Sunni brothers who were being very irrational and judgmental. I said that to bring unity. It's important for us to know our differences and respect that and bring unity. Being ignorant to our differences has not worked so well throughout history. . . but thank you for offering to clap for me.
Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said: "When Allah has previously decreed for a servant a rank which he has not attained by his action, He afflicts him in his body, or his property or his children, He then enables him to endure that, So that He may bring him to the rank previously decreed from him by Allah". [Hadith sahih]
Amazing hadith and so in line with the ayats explained masterfully in this video. Such content had the potential to help anyone on this planet for understanding what is going on and really embarking on their journey, the journey of discovering the self and ultimately getting closer to God. Al hamdulillah.
You're rocking our Baju Melayu, Ustadh! :) Thank you for the never ending reminders. May Allah bless you and your family and the Bayyinah people. Ameen.
I really.....really !!!!! like to watching this lecture over & over & over............ I'm listening to his message Every Day & Night ! Thank you so much! Your message make me inspired and encourage !!
Great advice brother Nouman; I used to be that kind of student who you respect; however, when I failed to achieve my goal after all my hard work, it totally destroyed my confidence. Over time, I realized that I may not be the best in my area but I'm not bad either and I don't feel depressed for not being able to be the number one; I accepted and realized the fact that ALL I CAN DO IS: TRY MY BEST AND CRY TO ALLAH SWT
Same here. Allah helped me and thanks to Allah i can now study somewhat better. but before this i struggled studying a lot every day and not learning much.
I have plans but hesitate. I was in a deep thinking.. Today, a friday, I woke up, make the fecr-salah, make the tesbiha, read a page quran and while making the breakfast I listen to this video. So my brothers and sister, my questions in my mind and hesitating was go away. When this is not a sign, not a wayshowing for me, what then? Thank you Nouman Ali Khan. I will go my way inschallah. By the way the word "inschallah" is a german word. The germans take the word "inschallah" and "maschallah" in their language. Greet with love from germany my dear beloved brothers and sisters
May ALLAH SWT bless and protect Nouman Ali Khan and his family and give him the best of this dunya and may Allah SWT grant him and his family Jannah In sha Allah JazakAllahu Kheir
Really inspiring....Makes you feel at peace with yourself whilst also encouraging and motivating you to become better as a human being and a practicing Muslim
I once heard it said that we should "make a friend of adversity" knowing that most folks are too fearful of being overcome. My love of Allah and hunger for a relationship with Him proceeds from the trust that I need never fear being abandoned to my outcomes or ever confront these challenges alone. People are always looking for a safety net or some sort of hedge against painful results all the while being held by Allah's protective embrace. Next time you see an infant taking its first steps with a protective parent hovering near know that Allah attends to our efforts with an identical focus....and more. Alhamduillah.
بارك الله فيه يا شيخ ، انا دائما أتابع دروسك وأستفيد منها يوما بعد يوم، ربنا يحميك ويقويك ويعطيك كامل الصحة والعافية لك ولكل المسلمين في كل مكان إن شاء الله
Alhumdulillah - I love how engaging these lectures are ! It’s so REAL ! this makes Islam relevant & simple to apply! Everyone needs to see this ( literally everyone ).
Alhamdulilah and thank you brother Nouman for this talk especially when you said -sometimes people thrive on confusion so that they can use it as a scapegoat - I had never previously considered this angle of things.
Thank you for showing the importance of Linguistics in Understanding our Quran and talking about the simple but vital aspects of Islam in your videos. May Allah Bless you and your loved ones and May He Guide all of us. Ameen
this man is so smart! alhamdulillah i found this channel. his way of explaining things is unbelievable...he helped me to find answers i was looking for years. i dont know if he will ever read this but i hope allah will bless him for his work!
Thank you so much, NAK! Your khutbahs are always wonderful, whenever I am confused and go wary in life.. I know where to look for the right guidance. May Khudaya always bless and protect you😊😊
Wallahi this video could not have come at a better time. Please keep covering topics such as these, they are really important for our youth and it helps to open our minds to reality and the responsibility of action! JazakumAllahu khayr to all of you brothers and sisters involved at Bayyinah :)
I haven't done exceptionally well this year in school and I was considering whether or not I should keep trying, if becoming a doctor is really worth it and what not until I saw this. I will try my best and will leave the rest to Allah. Might just discover myself :)
Such beautiful advice. If only I had started watching your videos a long time ago, my biggest regret! In Shaa Allah I will act upon what I just heard. Shukran Ustadh.
I'm so thankful to (re-)watch this because now I'm having different situation with when I watched this, and this video just hit my issue quite accurately, Alhamdulillah. I hope everyone doing great within days ahead! We can do it all! Bismillah.
Thank you so very much Brother.....i was in a delimma about my career ....this effort of yours has cleared my vision. Inshah Allah i will go full heartedly to put my 100% towards my work.
