F.S: My patience for the people in my life was running quite thin. Literally my thoughts were that no one is happy, no one would be happy. I saw that people chased religion to the minute details and were not satisfied. I began to think these two things, happiness and Islam, did not co-exist. I did not think I would be able to achieve them together. Today after attending this workshop I have some new hope. I will commit myself to being aware and live in the present. The biggest part for me will be taking responsibility for my own choices.
H.N: Before the workshop, I always lived in the world of right and wrong and always thought I was right. I also thought that others need to change. I lacked the spirituality of Allah. This information was completely different and the perspective of Islam that is the most important. Now I am committed to awareness and shifting myself for Allah. By changing myself I will change others. My view of life is changed. I along with others would have paid hundreds of dollars for such an event. Thank you for sharing your passion, Allah will reward you. Inshallah.
B.A: Before the workshop, I was angry, frustrated, and ungrateful through actions and words. Somewhat had lost hope to have a happy life. I have attended many seminars and halqah and retreats. I cannot thank Allah enough that He made it possible for me to attend this workshop. Now I am viewing my life, husband, and my children differently. On the first day you said if I “attend” all three days, success is guaranteed. So I decided not to miss any session and Allah helped me, as I needed it. Jazakallah Khair to sir. It is very well designed.
R.J: I used to get frustrated. Little things used to bother me. After applying the principles learnt in the workshop, I seem to be calm and much more accepting of life events happening around me. Alhamdulillah!
H.N: Before I was controlling, had a serious need for perfection and I felt if I am not always in control, that things will fall apart. Now I I learnt that I do not need to be in control, if I am conscious that things will fall into place. I also learnt that perfection does not equal to good life. It was amazing!
F.S: It opened my eyes and taught me the tools to know myself and work on my problems and see everything as they are and not judge them. I feel much better and I am not blaming my problems on others and also I am already trying not to impose my opinions on others and on myself.
