Bismillah,
Dearest and Respected Ustazah,
AssalamuAlaikum wr wb,
I pray Allah swt shower His Rahmah upon you and your family.And make us all best Sadqa Jariyyah for you Ameen.

After reading the chapter Quran both of us (me and my mother ) were planing to buy as many Quran to give the people who deserve these.

But the most striking chapter for me was eimaan. Like we read in this chapter eimaan is actuallay recognizing Allah swt. Before your recent class i spent night ,listening to your lecture and reading notes,and all i could think was what is the reaction when we find our Rabb. If I have eimaan do i feel pain for HIS creation.

The answer came to me by Allah swt as a blessing. As my father came back from work and asked me if i have english version of Quran .On my questioning he told me that a christian was discussing about the creation of earth and skies .And i told him we were told about these facts in our book many years ago.His instant response was i want to read the book.
I said to my father i will make sure that i give him the English translated Quran.
The day i was suppose to give him i forgot to hand over my father. And he called me from work and said he is standing in front of me and asking me for Quran ,why didn't you give it to me? My response was i will mark the Ayahs he wanted to read and inshaAllah tomorrow he will have it.

Very next day i woke up in the morning i highlighted most of the Ayahs related to creation of human being and heavens and earth. I added book marks, and on first page i wrote this book is from the one who created you and me . In  short my message was that its his book too. My father gave it to him and when he read it ,first response was its all science...And then Alhamdulilah Allah swt accepted our prayers with HIS mercy and the man said he wants to keep it and he will read it whole.Alhamdulilah.May Allah swt guide him to the right path.ameen.

This was the reply Allah gave me ,if you want to know me more ,help my people find me and recognize me , don't you know my prophets who had highest level of eimaan what was the first and foremost grief?they to connect all those people ,who were not connected to me ,to connect with me.
Check your heart are you restless??do you want to tell that person how beautiful feeling it is to be connected with one ALLAH. Don't you feel pain for my those people who are lost??
Ustazah what i understood is that Eimaan in our hearts enable  us to step on the path of HIS beloved prophet.Become a servant of HIS people??

Somethings:-
1. If some one ask you to give him or her the book of guidance please do not delay.The people want this guidance, otherwise he would have never come by himself and ask my father. Please never ever think or delay. It was Allahs mercy that HE gave me another chance or he would have never asked.
2. Do highlight some of the fact which might interest them  and may be lead them to read the whole book and  indeed guidance is with ALLAH. Our job is to convey the message and help them understand it.
3. While listening to the topic imtihaan, i was wondering how am i tested??Alhamdulilah i am blessed with the parents and brothers who are very supportive and help me with my work for Allah swt sake. When coming to USA i was sceptic i was thinking what will i do here?i had plans but first step is always difficult. But Ustazah this place turned out to be land of opportunities for me ,Allah swt opened made the path i chose myself so easy that now it scares me ,what if i am not thankful enough to Allah. And should never ever think i am doing enough..I pray HE keep me firm .ameeen.
4. The topic Niyyah --i was not planning to share this with you ,or i would say i was scared of my own niyyah . I spent long time to think whether i should or not ...But your lec Shaitan kai hathkandai is always motivational for me and make it easy for me to do lot of things, though earlier i use to think  as a human i am weak , i am doing it to get attention etc.And honestly i am still having the same feelings .But we should we keep working ustazah and pray to ALlah for ikhlass and work with ikhlaas. right?or we will never be able to do anything.
Please do not let shaytaan stop you to share something which can be helpful to others inshaALlah.

This is an excellent lecture mashaAllah.
As fearsome as it may be, I often sense that whenever my Salah is deficient, it is because of something erroneous I have said.
When sins become easy and opportunities to do good constantly slip away, indicates Allah's displeasure.
Another sign of Allah's displeasure is the condition of one's heart. After complaining about someone and debasing them in front of people, the heart feels bleak and bereft. A sense of emptiness weighs down upon the heart. Despite venting out frustration, a sense of dejected and misery plagues the mind. This is opposite is true for a good deed. A kind action, one pleasing to Allah brings contentment happiness and peace. The heart feels lighter and the mind appearances comfort.
So anyone who complains a lot but still feels constantly grief-stricken and unable to do anything good in his life, should immediately abandon the act of complaining and repent to Allah.

Moreover, complaining all the time, makes us look like arrogant, disdainful and egocentric. By insulting others, we debase our own reputation. No one wants to befriend a grousing, sniveling bleater. Such people loose their trust and respect in society.

Worst of all, badmouthing people takes away our focus from productive work. Our priorities are sidestepped by narcissistic animosities.

May Allah save me from this aameen :(

jazakAllahu khairan :) :)
I liked how you differentiated between the Mu'min and ghairmu'min. A believer is one who submits and a disbeliever is one who rebels and pursues his own desires.
i was thinking for a moment, how important this reminder is for every Muslim. We may be doing things in routine, like offering Salah and other acts of goodness over and over again such that we may no longer think about them consciously and decide to do them with intention to please. These acts have become automatic so when a test comes we do not submit to the hardship and accept that it is a test from Allah but rebel and overreact.
Then I was thinking how important it is to have company to remind us to submit consciously.
Then I felt I had no company so it must be hard for me to submit so its okay if I feel angry and other negative emotions

Alhamdulillah then Allah inspired me to think that our restlessness and this sense of conscious anxiousness is not because we do not have someone with us all the time, like a scholar friend of a imaam but it is because we do not have connection with Allah
Sometimes i feel soooooo restless, so annoyed and disconnect. And I hate everything. I feel so angry and i want to leave everything. And I always blamed these feelings not not having any Islamic company, not having anyone to talk to, to clam me, to hear me and understand me and give me advise.
But subhanAllah your lecture made me realize is that i don't need a human friend, I don't need a counselor, I need salah.
I need to stand before Allah every time I am upset, I am angry and pray to Allah. Cry, beg, plead, complain before Allah. Allah is my Solace. He is my Comfort.
I have tried this a few times when Allah gave me towfeeq and wallah I cannot describe to you the sweetness of reciting the Qur'an to Allah. Wallah its like I am in another zone. I feel so clean from inside. I feel so light and I enjoy so much every ruku and every sajdah.
And after I am done with salah alhamdulillah i act better with others. I smile more :) alhamdulillah
So if anyone is having trouble submitting to Allah, they should pray to Allah more :) Talk to Allah more :) :)

BarakAllahu feek ustazah. rabbi enable me to You always to Worship You and Remember You in the Best of Ways aameen.

Assalamualikum
How are you? you seemed quite fresh yesterday Alhamdulillah:)
It was such a good lecture but unfortunately I couldn't write my comments. The fact is that I felt really really struck... as if by lightening... my heart seemed to just stop when heard the words that momin ki hurmat kaaba ki hurmat say barh kar hai... and I thought of kaaba and i felt the love that seemed to fill my heart and the awe and reverance that we all have for it and yet we are so so so ignorant of the true worth of a human being... we torment and make life miserable for our most near ones... the weak ones... and we back bite and spread bad opinions for the ones who are too strong for us to speak out in front of them... why are we like this? because we never realize that Allah is not going to accept any good deeds except that we fulfill the rights of people...
how ignorant we are that we think that rights of family are just that I cook and clean for them? How do I talk to them when they irritate me? How do I talk about them to my friends? Do I save their honour? this is something we never ever give importance to... and its the same thing which has soured our relationships. When we are yelling to our kids because of some mistake they might have made we never think that his mistake doesn't earn him an insult... on no account can we attack the self respect of any individual.
if it sounds impracticle then just for a moment we can remind ourselves of any incident where someone insulted us... how did that feel? could any amount of recompensation wipe that out of our menory? can any amount of happiness erase the wounds of the heart created by unkind words or degrading attitude?
So I just pray to Allah to never let us be off guard... May He always help us to remember that the honour of a momin is greater than the honour of the kaaba... ameen
