My beloved brothers and sisters, I would like
to conclude with this:
When a person can't find a deep sense
of meaning,
they distract themselves with pleasure.
If you look around today,
the sad reality is
that all of these worldly pleasures
have distracted the minds of many
from that which is a reality.
Just ask yourself the question,
why is the wine and alcohol industry a
$1,000,000,000
industry?
Why is the game industry a $1,000,000,000 industry?
Why is the sports industry
a $1,000,000,000 industry?
Why is the
* industry a $1,000,000,000
industry?
Why is the drug industry
a $1,000,000,000 industry?
So much so that cocaine
is known as
Britain's open
secret. Why is that, my beloved brothers and
sisters?
All of these different things that we mentioned,
these different industries,
have distracted the minds of the people from
the reality that they're facing.
They are looking for that which
fills that void,
that which
gives them
that spiritual
satisfaction and contentment,
and that's something that money can't buy.
I remember having a conversation
with a relative that is not Muslim.
What is it that you do in your
free time?
Her response was,
I have to occupy my mind by watching
Netflix movies, and if I don't,
it might lead me to Junun, to craziness.
All of these different things that people occupy
themselves with
is that which
occupies the mind and distracts you from what
you really, really need in your life,
and that is Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta'la.
The way your heart has been created,
it's been created in a way that it
craves for its creator.
That's all you need in order to taste
that spiritual contentment that every single one of
us is craving for.
May Allah Subhana Wa Ta'la allow us
to act upon this. Allah Subhana Wa Ta'la
tells in the Quran, giving us the solution
to all of these problems that we are
facing.
And Amir As Salihan mindikrin
auntha
wahuamu'minun
falanuhayyahnaohayat
and tayiba,
Whoever from the male and female they come
with Iman and also they do righteous deeds,
Allah Subhana Wa Ta'la will give them that
happier life that they are looking for.
And the opposite is also mentioned.
Whoever turns away from Remembrance,
he will live a depressed life.
Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakat Assalamu Alaikum
We at the Knowledge College have managed
to revolutionize
the way Islamic Studies is taught in the
West Alhamdulillah
You see, before the Knowledge College, you'd have
to find a teacher which is a hard
enough task as it is and if you
found that teacher,
you'd have to hope that he would actually
finish the book that he was teaching
which again was not very likely.
But now, Alhamdulillah, you can study and seek
knowledge from the comfort of your own home
and you're not just watching videos
that have been pre recorded but you're actually
being taught live where you can actually engage
with your teachers
and with your fellow students in the communities
that we've built for you guys online.

taking your religion to the next level, then

We've got over a 1000 students that have
joined us over the last year and a
half. They've hugely benefited and we hope that
you would be one of the next students
Insha Allahu Ta'ala. Assalamu Alaikum.
