"To me, what I am most grateful for is family. It's all about my family and sharing the most valuable moments with them" - Mehboob Bawa This interview was one of the most inspiring, joyful and tearful ones. Mixed emotions of gratitude, love and sadness. We saw a side of Mehboob that most people usually don't see. He is extremely soft-hearted, down to earth and a cry baby. Haha! He cried about 5 times including 1 fake crying session (blame Zaheer). Mehboob tells us how he started his career in the late 1980's and how he gained so much knowledge throughout the years, to where he is now... Guess what he enjoys the most, as he wears many hats...?

"Traveling humbles you so much that at the end of your journey you realize that we are all human beings on the very same journey and we are all ONE." - Khairunnisa Khan We have been really blessed and totally humbled to meet these 2 human beings (F&K). Farhaan and Khairunnisa's sincere love and passion for traveling rubbed off on us as well. That travel bug! We struggled to edit this almost 2-hour conversation about their journey from Johannesburg to Jerusalem and beyond. This beautiful couple guided us through their 14-month road trip through Africa. From drinking amazing Ethiopian coffee for just R6.00 to seeing Christians praying just like Muslims. They found the interaction between the Sudanese women & men unique and very comforting. Yes, they encountered a couple of tests and challenges, but that was dwarfed by a super inspiring Ramadaan and Eid in Palestine. No spoiler alerts... Enjoy!

Originally published by Bayyinah Institute. Surah Al-Qadr is entirely dedicated to Laylatul Qadr, the most noble of nights during the month of Ramadan when the Quran was first revealed. In this episode, Ustadh Nouman teaches us the nuances of the phrase “laylatul qadr” in Arabic, which combines the meanings of night of “decree”, “honor” and “power”. This is the night when Allah will decree that the angels execute all His decisions for the rest of the year; when Allah revealed the most honorable words through His most honored angel to His most honored messenger. Finally it is a night endowed with unusual power; a night when all our sincere duaa will be accepted. It is the ultimate night of peace and prayer; one we must take advantage of as the blessed month of Ramadan comes to a close. But above all else, Laylatul Qadr is a celebration of the Quran. Enjoy!

Nouman Ali Khan explains his hierarchy of pursuits in life: Pursuit of Happiness Pursuit of Cool Pursuit of Popularity Pursuit of Prestige Pursuit of Money Pursuit of Excellence Pursuit of Impact Never get stuck in any of the bottom five levels. Don’t wait for results; don’t let them become the sole thing that propels you on. Allah (swt) says: “… There has come to you from Allah a light and a clear Book, by which Allah guides those who pursue His pleasure to the ways of peace and brings them out from darknesses into the light, by His permission, and guides them to a straight path.” (5:16) Enjoy!
