Nouman Ali Khan

When Prophet Musa returned following his encounter with Allah only to find his people worshipping the Golden Calf, his anger at his brother Harun, who he had delegated in his absence, was uncontrollable. But when Harun appealed to their brotherhood, Musa prayed for forgiveness and mercy for both of them, immediately relieving the tension. When you pray for those who have upset you in their presence, it heals any previous damage to the relationship.

The Human Tragedy - Khutbah By Nouman Ali Khan This Khutbah was given at the Bayyinah Masjid in Euless on 7/1/2016. Nouman Ali Khan shares insights from the last passages of Surat Al-Haj, where, he explains, Allah gives a striking example that encapsulates the tragedy of humanity. Addressing people regardless of their faith, Allah says that those who call on anything other than Him cannot even create a single fly. Allah takes the analogy a step further by referring to the pagan ritual of offering food to idols who have neither the power nor the will to stop a tiny fly from snatching bits of that food and desecrating their temples. The passage closes with a thought-provoking axiom which, in a few simple words, sums up the futility of our petty human pursuits: “Inherently weak are both the seeker and that which he seeks”. Here Allah reminds us that whatever God, ism or philosophy we turn to instead of him will never give us strength. Unless we make Him our priority, unless we seek His satisfaction, we will continue to be distracted from the very essence of our purpose in this world and instead get caught up in an endless cycle of desire and indifference that leaves us feeling empty and unfulfilled. The solution: to appreciate Allah the way He alone deserves to be appreciated, to establish the prayer and give Zakat in pure acts of spiritual and material change, to hold on to Allah, who will be our protector and constant helper as we fulfill the heavy responsibility of representing our faith in the way we carry ourselves through life.

The Proposal - Amazed By The Quran - Nouman Ali Khan The shy daughter of the wise man in Median who hired Prophet Musa and offered him his daughter in marriage, teaches Muslim women profound lessons on taking charge of their lives, while at the same time showing respect for their elders. The story further sets an example to wise fathers who can decipher their daughters’ code and don’t allow pride and ego to come in the way of making the right decision. Allah is also teaching young men that when they demonstrate character through their actions, they will reap the fruits of their honesty and integrity, no matter how destitute they are.

How To Respond Against Islamophobia - Nouman Ali Khan

In ayah 7 of Surat Taha, Allah says that “He knows the secret and what is more hidden”. There are dynamics inside us that we are not even aware of which impact the way we behave, but Allah knows us even better than we know ourselves. Our spiritual closeness to Him will help us unravel our deeply-ingrained complexities, becoming healthier human beings, giving us confidence and clarity and alleviating us from sadness and negative emotions in our lives.

The context in which Prophet Moussa was given the grand honor of speaking to Allah at the Burning Bush is inspiration for all believers that He is never far away. In the midst of great calamity as Moussa feared for himself and his family, Allah tells him that He has chosen him. When you trust in Allah, He will provide relief in ways that you would never have anticipated.

In his reinterpretation of the unique duaa of Prophet Suleiman in Surat Saad, Nouman Ali Khan opens new vistas into our understanding of the value of our engagement in this world. At first glance, Suleiman’s duaa for a kingdom that is not befitting anyone after him seems materialistic, but in fact he is asking for the capability to do more good for the sake of Allah. As Muslims we must take a strong cue from this noble prophet. Excelling in this world for the right reasons is in itself, an act of worship. We do not separate worldly life from spiritual life in Islam, but we must shake off the delusional fear that we’re not capable, and submit this life (our career, education) to a higher goal. When our heart is in the right place, Allah will give us resources beyond the imagination.

One detail in the epic story of Prophet Moussa gives timeless lessons to women on how they must conduct themselves in public. Allah describes that despite her shyness, the young woman in Madian, recognizing the impact of her presence as a female, engages with Moussa with an amazing balance of confidence and modesty.
