An old friend of ours, Younis Khan Sahib, a successful businessman and industrialist, warmly greeted us at a literary gathering and invited us to the “Discover Yourself” workshop he was organizing on December 1st at Cookxone Hotel, Jubail, Saudi Arabia. The workshop was scheduled to begin shortly before the Isha prayer. Knowing that such events often start late, we arrived after Isha and found Al Jabal bustling with trade. Sadath Khan’s lecture had already begun, addressing a packed hall of attendees from various nationalities, including Nepali and Pakistani traders.
Sadath Khan spoke with the ease of a seasoned college professor, engaging the audience in a lively and interactive session. Although we had missed the beginning, his words resonated deeply, evoking memories of classroom days decades ago. His insights struck a chord, aligning with our own thoughts and writings published across various platforms. As he spoke, it became clear that Sadath Khan’s approach mirrored our efforts to connect the attendees with their Creator, guidi ng them beyond surface-level knowledge.
Despite nearing his mid-seventies, Sadath Khan displayed remarkable energy, moving around the hall with a microphone in hand. He interacted directly with the audience, ensuring each person felt involved. His warm, personal engagement made complex topics relatable and impactful. The three-hour program, punctuated by a short tea break and Isha prayer, left a lasting impression, reinforcing the idea that Allah chooses His servants for His work.
During the event, Younis Khan introduced prominent local businessman Muhammad Farooq Shah Bandri Patel, highlighting his 35 years in trade. As a gesture of respect, another esteemed businessman, Waheed Latif Sahib, was presented with a bouquet.
Dr. Sadath Khan: A Life of Purpose and Transformation
Sadath Khan, was born in Bangalore in 1950. With a background in science and engineering, his career spanned commerce, journalism, and eventually spiritual guidance. His transformative journey began with the creation of the “Discover Yourself” workshop, born from his personal quest for self-realization.
“Discover Yourself” workshops are advanced meditation sessions designed to guide participants from self-created illusions to the ultimate reality. These sessions offer more than knowledge; they provide a transformative experience, empowering individuals to break free from inner constraints and discover peace, calmness, and clarity. Participants emerge with renewed confidence, stronger family bonds, and a deeper connection to their Creator.
The workshops help individuals shed anger, jealousy, despair, and depression, fostering positivity and hope. By addressing past traumas and setting new goals, participants unlock their potential and align their lives with divine purpose. Sadath Khan’s mission is to bridge the gap between humanity and God, emphasizing that true peace stems from a deep connection with the Divine.
The Birth of “Discover Yourself”
Having been immersed in the spiritual realm for nearly three decades, Sadath Khan recognized the need for inner refinement within the Muslim community. As the editor of “Islamic Voice” since 1987, he observed that many Muslims focused on jurisprudence while neglecting the spiritual essence of Islam. This imbalance led to societal issues such as divorce, mistrust, and discord.
Driven by this realization, he launched the “Discover Yourself” workshop series.Through these workshops, Sadath Khan addresses the inner conflicts that hinder personal growth, guiding participants toward inner peace and spiritual fulfillment.
Since July 2002, Sadath Khan has conducted over 500 workshops across India and internationally, transforming the lives of thousands. His workshops have reached audiences in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Muscat, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Sri Lanka, South Africa, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Kenya, Lesotho, the UK, the USA, Norway, Singapore, and Karachi.
A Call to Action
As Sadath Khan continues his mission, we hope educational institutions recognize the value of his work. By introducing “Discover Yourself” workshops to senior students, colleges can prepare future leaders to navigate life with confidence, purpose, and a deep connection to their Creator.
