IMRAN: It helped me with a better understanding of myself. I got the ability to deal with life in a much peaceful and successful way. I am trying to purify my heart and actions to please Allah. Many times, it happens through facing my weaknesses. In this workshop, I learned that (submission) helps me even to reduce my fighting with myself. I learned to bring the mind back to the right place. I am grateful for your sincere efforts to give us the ability and light, to go to Allah with a peaceful heart and a better human being.
URWAH: My life has changed after the workshop as I look at the world differently now. It was a very meaningful experience as I got a variety of information that I could apply in my practical life. I now look at the situations presented to me by my family members from a perspective that I did not, before. This workshop benefitted me as it allowed me to take control of my mind, body, and heart.
FATIMA: Before the workshop, I would be quick to judge and create opinions about others and I would be living in my own world. This workshop has helped me to accept situations and learn to find solutions rather than reasons and answers. I learned how to live a happier life in peace and love with each other rather than living in our own realities which is not the Absolute reality.
SABINA: I realized that I was putting on veils in front of my eyes unknowingly and these veils were anchoring me down. So, the minute I learned the distinction between denial and submission (Allah’s way) I got it, and feel free. Indeed, it is a life-changing course, provided we keep an open mind. Accept people as they are and then find solutions “ is my take-home message. I think you are doing a great job; may Allah give you good health and peace- Ameen!
SALEH: My life before the workshop was full of excuses and denial. After the workshop, I unlearnt a lot about the mind and resisting, using reason and logic. I took things and advice that struck out to me and will apply it practically. Anyone can learn something if they find the essence of the workshop. I would have missed out on something very valuable.
RABIA: Before the workshop, I was a bit irritable but after the workshop, I have seemed to be able to calm myself and understand the right way to respond in a situation. I found it useful because it taught me some essential skills. It was a good experience because it enlightened me on certain topics. I think I may have missed valuable information such as differentiating between reality and opinions. I am willing to give up the veils covering my eyes
TERRANCE .Y: The workshop allowed me to look at life and situations without “Glasses’ on. I was always judgmental, but now I realize the situation presented to me in life ‘IS’ the situation- I must accept and not judge. An eye-opener!
WASEEM: This workshop has transformed not only me, but also our family. It is a life changing workshop. Please continue transforming lives.
BUSHRA: It is very beneficial. I have noticed courage, energy and kindness for all human beings and will follow it for the rest of my life, Inshallah. May Allah make it easier for all of us and help us to achieve love of Allah. An excellent effort (may Allah accept and give Barakat). Please try to have the workshop in school holidays.
FIAZ: It was very beneficial. I learned many interesting things; techniques and I feel very light. I am very lucky to attend this workshop and God helped me. I am thankful to the coach, an amazing person and a great teacher.
SAAD: It was a great experience. I got to know happiness is an inside job. Got to distinguish between Absolute reality and personal reality. Understanding a new paradigm, came across new perspectives, understanding the consequences and justification based life, Understood how to perceive and how to respond and the application of triple test.
