- Divine Speech Part 1Ustadha Nouman Ali Khan delves into the topic of the lecture, “Literary characteristics of the Qur’an” which comprises the introductory phase of his talk.Allah says in the Qur'an “haadha balyaaghu li-n-nas”.“Balyaagh” in Arabic means that which reaches someone else, a communication. The Qur’an is meant to reach people. It is a message to people.Hence, Ustadh speaks about the essential components of communication which is aimed at an appreciation of the Qur’an that is almost lost entirely upon people who are not students of the Qur’an and Arabic which is the majority of Muslims. There are three components of speech: the first one – the speaker, the second one – the content, the speech and the third one – the style, how they speak – the medium.When we turn to the Qur’an we ask ourselves, and we ask ourselves revisiting the question, the Qur’an is a miracle. The Qur’an is remarkable. The Qur’an is stunning in its beauty and communication. It’s remarkable and incredible in three other ways too - it’s remarkable in that the speaker is incredible, the speaker himself. What else is incredible? The speech. What else is incredible? The style.In the next part of the lecture, we are made aware of who Hamaan is. Who is Haman in the Qur’an? He is the minister or one of the ministers of Fir’awn. Hamaan is mentioned in the Qur’an about six times. Why so? Listen intently.Then, we have acquaintance with two stories - the story of Tufayl ibn Amr ad-Dawsi and the story of ‘Utba ibn Rabi'ah.54 min
- Ghaflah/HeedlessnessUstadh Nouman Ali Khan delves on the topic of heedlessness or Ghaflah which is the attitude of doing something without realizing what you're doing, not really thinking about what you're involved in, not really thinking or caring about how you're time is spent, or what comes out of your mouth, or what actions you perform, or how your actions impact other people, or how they impact your own self, your own personality. This sickness is the sickness of "Ghaflah".So how do we prevent this state from overpowering us? It's inevitable it will come upon us once in a while and how do we consciously attack this state? How do we consciously appreciate how to overcome Ghaflah and instead of being people of Ghaflah we become people of Dhikr?The recitation of Quran, the listening to Dars of Qur'an should be made into a habit which was actually a legacy of the Sahaba. This is the means by which they don't let Ghaflah sink in. The longer it's been since you read Quran and reflected on Quran or learnt something about Quran, the worse off you'll feel inside your heart. This existence is that of Ghaflah.We must have an uninterrupted relationship with the Quran and turn it into a habit so that we remain awake throughout our lives.30 min
- The Legacy of Prophet Ibrahim (AS)Ustadh Nouman Ali Khan gives an awe-inspiring lecture on the great legacy of Ibrahim AS and the lessons that we need to imbibe from this great personality.Prophet Ibrahim AS went through innumerable trials and the many enormous feats that he has accomplished. The result of all these trials was that at the end of all of them, Allah gave him a certificate. Allah says to him that He has installed Ibrahim AS as the Imam over people, making him a leader over people, a role model for humanity. This is the medal of honor that is being given to Ibrahim AS after he went through some very difficult tests.We can't even begin to imagine a human being going through the kinds of tests that Ibrahim AS had to go through. And yet he walked away with Tawakkul on Allah SWT. We should know about Ibrahim AS that when anything came to him, good or bad, who does he remember first? Allah SWT is the first thing that comes to his mind.Who is going to walk away from the legacy of Ibrahim AS? Who's going to turn his back on the legacy of Ibrahim AَS? The only one to walk away from this legacy is the one who is fooling himself. We seek refuge in Allah SWT from this misguidance and pray ceaselessly to make us tread on the path of the righteous.1 hr 16 min
- Who Are the People of TaqwaUstadh Nouman Ali Khan gives a compelling lecture on the people of Taqwa and how we can identify them.The lecture begins with the reminder from a passage of Surah Ale Imran. Allah SWT calls us to the Friday prayer. The commandment occurs in Surah al Jumu'ah:“And he says to us that when the call is made: Rush to the remembrance of Allah”Also, in Surah Ale Imran, Allah says:"Obey Allah and the Messenger so that you may be shown mercy. So that all of you may be shown mercy.”In this ayah, Allah has attributed the obedience of Himself and His Messenger ﷺ with the one who is hopeful of getting mercy.The true muttaq never loses his hope in Allah. We should imbibe and inculcate the essence of a true muttaqeen. We should suppress our anger, forgive others lovingly, out of love for Allah. When we wrong themselves, we should immediately turn to Allah.May Allah make us of those who never lose hope in Allah.31 min

- Islam and EgoUstadh Nouman Ali Khan delves on how religion itself becomes a means by which one promotes our own ego. It's ironic because the Deen came so we humble ourselves and now we are using that very Deen to express our arrogance. This is not something that happens only in our youth but happens amongst our elders too.Where does ego come from? Ego comes from the starting point when someone doesn’t truly appreciate who Allah is. When that happens, we replace it with an appreciation of ourselves; that’s where it starts. On the inside there is an urge to show our supremacy where we assume that we are more righteous, more qualified and in a better position than the other, then in our heart, we have accumulated Kibr or arrogance.The first big problem that helps us cleanse the heart is the remembrance of Allah. How often do we remember Allah? if you didn’t put any thought in any of the routine Adhkar that we do, then we have defeated its purpose. If we just don’t reflect upon them, then it is not dhikr, that’s just good review. That’s all that is.Allah should be thanked and He should be praised for everything. Despite your troubles, you say Alhamdulillah but when you mean it, its something else. Now you are really remembering Allah. This Hamd of Allah and giving credit to Allah, what does that teach us about ourselves?We should pray to Allah to help us place our trust in Allah and not allow our hearts to become hard. He should make us a people sincerely of dhikr to Allah and grant us the gift of better company than ourselves that keeps our ego in check.we should also pray for the ability to give advice to those around us and make us share that love and affection and humility with the other Muslims and show them that sincerity from the bottom of our heart. We should pray that Allah makes us capable of taking advice and making the best of it and not allowing the advice to become a means by which our egos are inflated and keep us humble before Him, forgive our shortcomings that have occurred in the past.53 min

- Muslim TeenagersUstadh Nouman Ali Khan answers numerous questions about Muslim teenagers' issues from the audience in this video.A few questions of interest are as follows:What role does a Muslim team play in today’s high school and college?What do you think about money-making, as a lot of guys get overwhelmed when money starts coming, how do you control that and decide about saving and spending and controlling it? Because most of the times parents don’t give this kind of independence to their kids at an early age and they have no idea how to manage money.The questions are answered with immense clarity and elaborated upon with extreme explicitness. It makes for a wonderful listen and is surely not a video to be missed.26 min
