JOSEFINA: Islam is a way of life. All the things that were pointed out in the workshop, was how to live an Islamic life and doing the right things in this world for success.
FATIMAH: The workshop was excellent. Thanks to Allah and to everyone who organized this workshop. I learnt to deal with my fellow humans. This workshop took place at the right time, just before Ramadan.
ARIG: Jazakallah Khair Brother Khan. I benefited immensely from this workshop and feel like I truly understand what has been transpiring in my life. Inshallah, now that I understand, I can better deal with it and move forward. I realized now that our true purpose is greater than any goals we may have for ourselves or any interpretation or limitations that we may have convinced ourselves of (or that satanmay have tried to deceive us with). I think the resentment towards my husband was really the unfinished business of hating, being in a place I did not want to be …which has been a common theme throughout my life, and feeling that I have no control over this even until today, is still frustrating yet humbling. God puts us where He wants us and we must submit to His will. Hopefully this understanding is what will allow me to heal and move on with a sense of gratitude. (After all, at 13, I thought I was returning to Egypt for good and here I am in Florida receiving the opportunity to meet you and learn these life and after-life changing lessons!). Thank you again so much for sharing your knowledge, your insights and your time. May God bless you! I look forward to keeping in touch.
RABIA: Before the workshop I was confused, trapped, in denial and in blame state”¦blaming others and myself. Now I have learnt to identify each label and need to implement it, forgive and move forward in a positive manner with Allah in my heart and accept my decisions as a learning experience whether it was a right or wrong decision.
SARAH: I was lost and going through the motions, taking with me my past experiences and living my life through the past and holding resentments and hurt in my heart. I had lost the true spirit or rather did not even know I had a spirit in me, everything was my mind. My mind conquered my soul and my own being. I was living my life with my ego! I have truly discovered myself, Alhamdulillah!
NABILA: I have learned to have a positive attitude towards life. Accept what life brings and learnt submission. I also learned not to judge others and forgive people who have harmed me.
ELHAMOULY: This workshop came at a perfect time as I was going through a difficult time of figuring out the purpose of my life and why I have been so unhappy despite having many blessings. This workshop helped me to understand the true nature of my existence and how my mind had been playing tricks on me. I was always very hard on myself and I just now realized that this was actually satan deceiving me and keeping me ungrateful and judgmental. I can now move on with confidence and am able to understand the way my mind and heart actually work, so that I can have greater control of my submission.
NASEEM: I used to run after people seeking their forgiveness and running after others for love. I need to love Allah and start living the life He wants me to live. Islam is so clear, pure and simple.
ABIMBULA: I am now more aware of the double dialogue, I have within myself pulling me, towards good or evil. I am also more aware that I have the power to control my Ego and move from ‘Batil’ to ‘Haq’.
HINA: I am an emotional person who takes everything in, and I also have problems when I have a disagreement with someone. After the workshop, I felt that I have the power to deal with the problems and the situations which I am in now. I am very happy to be a part of this workshop.
