  • Blueprint From The Divine
    Ustadh Nouman Ali Khan acquaints us with the blueprint of the Divine - what Allah has blessed us with and what is expected from us in return.
    The Ustadh divides people into three groups in this talk - people who aspire to do something for themselves, people who aspire to do something for the community and the smallest minority of people who believe in an idea and who believe that spreading of an idea would make the word better. People who believe that an idea is so powerful that if people are inspired by that idea, it would manifest itself in ways they themselves can't even imagine. 
    The ultimate success for humanity is for us to make our Creator, our Master, the One Who loves us more than anyone else can love us, the One Who cares for us more than anyone else could care for us, to make Him happy with us.  Every other success we vie for in this world must submit to that idea. Because none of the things we have here are the reason for which we are here - they are just a means to a larger end which is to earn the Pleasure of Allah. This is a very powerful concept.
    What happens today is Islam defined by the visible markers of Islam, and the original definition of Islam with an ethical worldview, moral worldview and then the laws of Islam, the hijab, halal and the haram, Sharia of Islam, beautify that worldview.  But there is a social and emotional disconnect with these pillars of our Deen and that is the path of doom eventually.
    A real revival of prayer, in our personal lives, and really engaging with the Quran as one should guarantee success. The Ni'mah or blessings that Allah has given us and opportunities Allah has given us are unparalleled. Allah has given us more than so many others and it has been given to us because Allah SWT expects great things from us.
    Not just for our own lives, but for His Deen.

  • Be Like The Bee
    In this beautiful lecture, Ustadh Nouman Ali Khan provides an interesting viewpoint from which to look at the bee.
    We are constantly people of thought, and what makes us think is Aayat. We think deeply about the Aayat, then reflect on the Aayat, and the Aayat not just of the Quran but the Aayat of the creation all around us. The purpose of the Aayat:
    -        La allakum yatafakkarun
    -        Li qoumin yaqi loon
    -        La allakum taqiloon
    -        Li yaddabaru aayati 
    Allah SWT wants us to think about what He wants us to really reflect on, and this is the difference between when we read the Quran just at the surface level and we just move on. We do not stop to think about what actually Allah SWT is saying. He says in the following remarkable Aayah -“wa aoha rabbuka ilal nahl", Allah SWT in this particular Aayah says that He is talking about the bee, the honey bee. Our Master, the same Master who revealed the Quran to us is the One who revealed something to the honey bee. 
    Allah has given it advice so everything it does has to do with Wahi, it's inspired by Wahi, and it has lessons to learn. There is a Hadith of our Messenger ﷺ - Wallazi bi nafsi hilazi. Inna mahalal mumin ka masalil na’ala -“I swear by the one who has my life in his hand. The example of the believer is just like the example of the bee.”
    How are we going to be like the bee? What can a bee teach us about my Emaan? About how are we going to live as a believer? 
    Listen intently to unravel some awe-inspiring details.

  • Lessons From A Bird Khutbah
    Ustadh Nouman Ali Khan shares with us some reflections from two places in the Quran. One of them is Surah An-Naml, the 27th Surah of the Quran and the other is Surah Al-Qasas, the 28th Surah of the Quran. 
    There are different kinds of proofs and different kinds of manifestations of Taqwa. Taqwa means recognition of Allah’s presence, which means it changes our behavior.  Taqwa is also manifest on our conscience and consciousness of Allah is also manifest in how we interact with each other. How humble, how respectful, how courteous we are towards each other is also a sign of what kind of Taqwa we have of Allah SWT.
    We learn from the Ayat of Sulayman AS and the stories that are mentioned in the Quran. They are about the bird that was called Hud Hud. Who asked for the bird? When did he ask for it? What position is he in and why would he have to worry about a bird?  What transpired in this story? What lesson can be imbibed from this?
    Sulayman AS is the leader of an army. So he does show anger as recorded in Surah An Naml.
    "I’m going to punish that bird, I’m going to come at it if it’s late. Where, why don’t I see it?”
    What is he doing that for?
    Now the bird does show up late and he needs to hear an explanation. “ What were you doing?”.
    The bird shows up, and it says, "I have come across knowledge that you don’t have”. 
    But Sulaiman AS is a prophet. What’s his reaction going to be? What’s he going to say?
    Listen to the mesmerizing lecture that makes us ponder over the story.

  • The Strategy Of Satan
    Nouman Ali Khan delves into the strategy of Shaytan and also the final dialogue of Iblees. Shaytan is the ultimate enemy we have and is a relentless and pertinent one we have till the end of time. How is the devil going to come at us and pull us under his wing?
    Some of the origins of the word Shukr are illustrated and how some of us have Shukr cultivated within us and is displayed. 
    Shaytan is angry at being admonished for being arrogant to Allah and swears that he will make mankind even more arrogant than him and even ungrateful. So, arrogance is a lack of manifestation of gratitude. Shaytan comes from 4 directions at us and he wants to prove our ingratitude from our hearts and diminish our optimistic relation with Allah. We should fight the temptations and let not greed get the better of us because we should firmly believe that Allah will never abandon us in moments of crises.
    Shaytan attacks from the right by:
    Convincing you that you own your guidance. So you start to pity others, deviating away from your own guidance and focusing on theirs. Ultimately believing you are the source of guidance and take part in others’ personal journey to Allah. 
    Using the word of Allah for evil purposes (Having a personal agenda above the word of Allah)
    Resetting the priorities of Islam 
    Defining your own idea of a ‘good character’
    Misjudging people based on their presentation. Focusing on the difference in insignificant worshipping styles
    Shaytan attacks from the left by:
    Removing your motivation to engage in beneficial acts by slowing your ability to do good things. This way he has room to fill up your heart with bad things. 
    Eliminating the remembrance of Allah from your life so that you are not alarmed in Haram situations and to then fill your heart with despair. 
    By beautifying sins for you and pulling you towards his direction (the left). Ultimately deviating you from the path of Allah. 
    To convince us that you have no respect, that you are filthy and invaluable in the eyes of Allah.
    Greed and  Wanting more than just the blessings of Allah. 
    Once he gets you evolved in sin, he’ll keep you thereby convincing you that you need it.

  • Science And Quran And The Concept Of Miracle
    Ustadh Nouman Ali Khan delves into an understanding of the Qur'an and Science and the concept of Science in the Qur'an with various examples.
    What is a miracle in Islam? The classical scholars of Islam listed many conditions for something to be considered a miracle according to Islamic theology. The first one is that which is impossible for human beings to do or perform. A miracle has to be something that can’t be manufactured. The second thing is that it breaks the laws of nature. 
    The Qur'an speaks of Allah’s creation with the intent of inspiring reflection on the creation’s beauty and reflection on the subtlety, the mechanics, the design, the technology of creation, the technology behind the single leaf, the symmetry involved; the advanced technology in a single cell or an atom, how precise that is, right. It wants people to reflect on the subtlety of Allah’s design and Allah’s creation. The miracle is in the choice of words used or given to describe the creation.
