SOMAYA: Before the workshop, I was a person with lot of fear and was very sceptical. But after the workshop, I could look upon myself as a different person. I started loving myself. I got the courage, inner strength to face life and reality. I believe my life would be beautiful from today.
RAJANI: Before the workshop, I was short tempered, external life was hell and was always in the past or the future. Now I can analyse myself where I missed the track of inner peace. I have now realised that happiness, sorrow, anger and depression is all that I created by myself. My husband is happy that I forgave the person whom I hated a lot.
SERVIN WESLEY: I usually never attend these types of workshops; I thought they were worthless, but once I experienced this workshop I am really able to realise where I stand. And I was not in reality. Most of the time I was connected to the external world with full of questions, but now I have stopped asking questions and I am peaceful. Thank you for providing me a nice opportunity to realise myself.
SHIMANARAJ: First I thank you so much for this wonderful workshop. I have never experienced this kind of workshop in my life. After the workshop, I understood a lot of things. I understood the clear definition of a human being. I really liked your presentation, it was so inspiring and the way you presented was awesome using simple language.
SHAHID: I am a God fearing person, even though I often failed to manage stress, anxiety, confusion and indecisiveness etc. Now, I could able to find the root cause of all the problems and found the tools to solve them. Another important aspect I observed in the workshop is that it was entirely different and a unique way of presenting Islam to people.
SABA: Due to some incidents that happened in my life, I always asked ‘Why me always’. I tried to become more patient to find out inner peace. Read a lot and went to counselling etc. Now I understood and realised what is the exact reason behind my pain and suffering, thank you sir. Now I have a belief that I can control myself and have the ability to distinguish Huq and Batil.
