We will be right back.<br> <br> The Deen Show Host: Peace Be on to you Assalamoalikum.<br> <br> Nouman Ali Khan: Walaikumassalam. Peace Be on to you as well.<br> <br> The Deen Show Host: It’s good to have you back here again on the Deen Show.<br> <br> Nouman Ali Khan: To be here. You are actually here.<br> <br> The Deen Show Host: Alhumdolillah the Bayyinah Institute.<br> <br> Nouman Ali Khan: Alhumdolillah.<br> <br> The Deen Show Host: We talked about it in our first show about the institute that you have, teaching people the Arabic language. Are you teaching people how to be an Arab or why are you teaching them Arabic?<br> <br> Nouman Ali Khan: Well yeah people should be Arabs all of them. No No No. We are trying to learn Arabic language as best as we can here to be able to study the Quran and actually even beyond that studying Islam more in depth.<br> <br> The Deen Show Host: Okay. Before we get in to that we need to scare some people off because some people when they hear Islam, they get turned away so we want to start off with some baby steps .When people hear about Brad Pitt they want to know about his gold fish or what Jalen Rose is doing. You know facebook, fifty cents.<br> <br> Nouman Ali Khan: Wait Brad Pitt has a gold fish?<br> <br> The Deen Show Host: No I am just saying that if it was then they would want to know. What is the purpose of life? This is a crucial question and we should be asking this question. Why is it important to ask a question or reflect about the purpose of life and where you are going when you die? Why is it so important?<br> Nouman Ali Khan: You know its… Most people don’t ask themselves that question and I am very happy at the institute that we have people that have made such a big sacrifice in life , trying and studying here; leaving careers and having put their studies on hold ,convinced their families of making this sacrifice which is actually in it and itself a proof that they have a very clear picture of what their purpose in life is . May Allah accept these kinds of efforts from them and especially the youth that are here. But you know this question is not something that everybody cares to ask about because the answer is difficult and the answer requires a lot of change in one’s lifestyle. Right. So it’s something that really on one’s own time if Allah blesses somebody if God blesses somebody to have the conscious mind to think and to put break on everything else in life and just stop and think. This question will lead us to some very serious consequences and some very serious changes in life but as important as this question is it is probably the most ignored question in most people’s lives.<br> <br> The Deen Show Host: Why does everything else seems more important than the Creator? What HE wants us to do?
