S.C: It opened my eyes. I will use this workshop and the tools I gained to positively evaluate the way I treat myself, my family, friends and people I interact with. It gave me hope on how to move forward with certain aspects of my life with more peace. My perception and my view of other people’s actions changed. I am going to give up my pride and forgive myself and others. Please continue this work. May Allah give you strength to continue and reward you.
N.R: It is the best workshop I attended. I am giving up my ego, short tempered behaviour and habit of spending money when I am bored. I will cover my awrah and be comfortable wearing the hijab.
O.A: I really enjoyed attending the workshop with my husband. We both had deep conversations afterwards. May Allah help us internalize, maintain and implement the knowledge and advice of Mr Khan. May Allah reward him and bless his work. I will stop judging people. I will see people as human beings and not as objects.
A.S: It made me to think and focus to be truthful and choose a way Allah wants and not the way I think. Before taking any action it made me pause for a minute and ask myself whether is it beneficial or not. I will stop judging people.
S.S: I have practised some skills which were taught, letting go off the past feels amazing. I feel everyone should and must attend it.
A.A: This was the first time we could come as a whole family, my husband and children and I consider this as a new beginning in our lives- Jazakallah Khair.
Z.R: I learnt how to connect to Allah. I think that the workshop is a blessing because I am a new Muslim.
N.A: I used to see things in a negative and from right and wrong view. I had built veils about others in my mind. But I have learned to remove them. There was nothing wrong with them; I chose to see the bad instead of focusing on the good in others.
M.F: Definitely it was an amazing experience to rediscover myself and eventually to improve my life, thus improving everyone’s in my immediate family first and extended family later, Inshallah. Subhanallah, the possibilities are endless if only I can lift the veil of ‘denial’.
S.A: I lived a normal life, but now my perspective of how the world is has changed. I am willing to give up judging people.
S.T: My veil has been removed and I can see things clearly and also learnt values, positive thinking and not to judge.
A.T: This workshop opened the door of Islamic Values, Increasing my Iman, belief, family values, and to be thankful to Allah. Respecting the young and old and accepting them as they are.
KEVEN: The workshop was great! It affirms for me many timeless concepts, to stop the chatter of the mind, which is the result of the ego. The workshop reminds me of the benefits of others and to look at others openly.
