Delivered at the North Austin Muslim Community Center in Texas on June 28th, Ustadh Nouman Ali Khan shares important insights into a powerful du'a in the Quran that invokes Allah for guidance.

Before doing so, however, Ustadh Nouman lays the context for which this du'a in Surah Ali-Imran was revealed, using the backdrop of the Muslims' time in Madinah and how Allah responded to the Christians and the Jews at the time with this revelation. The beginning of the Surah establishes who Allah is, and thereafter reminds us of the limitations of our own knowledge by calling out those who falsely interpret the guidance that was revealed to them. As with most powerful lessons in the Quran, it is concluded with a powerful du'a for guidance. Ustadh Nouman further adds 3 key ingredients for guidance which must be in place, giving particular importance to number 3.

In this short snippet from a khutbah delivered last year at the Islamic Foundation of Ireland in Dublin, Ustadh Nouman Ali Khan scrapes the tip of the iceberg on the topic of psychology. More interestingly, he draws comparisons between ayat from the Quran and how modern day 'pop psychology' has led to an increase of self-diagnosed 'feelings' that are, in fact, an attempt to feed our own self-worth.

In this khutbah delivered at the Islamic Center for Albanians ‪@qish.stuttgart‬ in Stuttgart (Germany) last week, Ustadh Nouman Ali Khan shares the story of how Musa (AS) got married - the only place in the Quran where a marriage story is described by Allah SWT.

He further highlights the du'a that Musa (AS) made after helping the two women feed their flock, after which Allah SWT blessed him with not only a marriage to one of them, but a home, a job, and security after having fled from Pharaoh in Egypt.

This khutbah concludes with a reminder about how we as a community have made marriage harder upon our youth. Naturally, once the halal is made difficult, the haram is made easy.

As the genocide taking place in Palestine continues, a natural response from the Ummah is to feel angry and powerless.

In this khutbah recorded at the Ohio Recreation & Education Foundation last week, Ustadh Nouman shares some thoughts on this issue by focusing on the importance of emotional self-control, and regaining power by taking heed of the internal and external changes that the Quran constantly urges us to make.

Ustadh emphasises that once we collectively implement this Quranic agenda within, and as an Ummah, we will then regain the power needed to create real change.

"It's hard to be Muslim in my country these days..."

During this khutbah, delivered at the Nur-E-Islam Masjid in San Juan (Trinidad and Tobago), Ustadh Nouman Ali Khan shares an eye opening lesson on why we as Muslims must feel a sense of Islam on the inside, and not allow our external environment to dictate our faith or lack thereof.

Ustadh reflects on civilizations of the past, whose religious, political, and financial elites would control the narrative when it came to religion and how the general population would access God and His scriptures. He also raises a valid point about Muslims only identifying as such because their parents, ancestors or those in their immediate environment are Muslims. The Quran's message completely shattered this status quo, and Allah clearly laid out the criteria for being the best of mankind, which does not require power or financial status, or following the faith of our forefathers. 

This profound revolution, therefore, is something we must deeply ponder whenever we feel that Islam is 'too difficult' to practice in today's society due to external pressures. When our Islam changes from within, the outward cannot affect us.

In this Khutbah, Ustadh Nouman Ali Khan explains the opening verses of Surah As-Saf, which was revealed after the second major military engagement of the Muslims: the Battle of Uhud. He discusses how Allah loves people who are disciplined and how the Muslims lost at Uhud due to their lack of discipline. The Surah mentions the Tasbeeh of Allah and Ustadh Nouman elaborates that the ultimate form of Tasbeeh is our prayer.

Ustadh also discusses three types of people that were in Madinah at the time of Prophet ﷺ. The first type were the Sabiqoon, the foremost in faith and action. The second type included those who felt motivated when in the company of companions like Abu Bakr (RA) or Omar (RA), but when they were with the hypocrites (Munafiqoon), they felt that Islam was a burden. The third type were the Munafiqoon themselves. Ustadh highlights that many of us fall into the second category, but Allah desires for us to strive to be in the first category.

In this week's khutbah, at the Islamic Association of Greater Detroit, Ustadh Nouman Ali Khan draws a parallel between video games and real life, highlighting the stark differences in outcomes despite similar efforts. In video games, following a set of rules consistently leads to predictable rewards and progress. If players encounter difficulties, they can easily turn to YouTube for walkthroughs or cheat codes to advance.

However, real life is far more complex; two individuals may put in the same effort but achieve vastly different results. This unpredictability drives many people to look for special adhkaar to solve their problems in real life just like they look for cheat codes in video games.

Ustadh notes that this search is part of a broader pursuit of happiness, where people believe that acquiring certain things will bring them joy. However, he observes that those who relentlessly chase happiness often end up being the most depressed. He emphasizes that while the pursuit of happiness itself is not inherently wrong, we tend to look for the wrong goals to be happy. So what is the right goal? Watch the video to find out.
