Nouman Ali Khan – Advice to New Islamic Teachers Q&A

Been,

listening to your, like,

from the beginning of my Islam journey,

and I have a few questions, like, 2

questions. Okay. I'm gonna try to keep it

short. First off, I'm a Daia as well,

and I'm I have a team here. I

give, lessons.

I just repeat what I learned from my

teachers.

And I wanna ask you, like, you're, for

example, a role model to me. I live

in role. Allah, may Allah bless you. And

I wanna ask you, like, if you have

advice

on this journey,

like, which mistakes should Adaiyah avoid if you

wanna be successful?

Like, what are the things

you would avoid if you have started new

again?

I would have spent a lot more time

on learning. Yeah.

Like, I would have so that that would

be probably the one of the big ones.

Well And,

I would have

I would've appreciated the value of

collaborative learning.

What that means is

when I learn something from a teacher,

I learn it I I I, learn it

to the best of my ability, but I

do my own research and my own investigating

and my own asking questions. And then sometimes

I end up finding that what my teacher

shared with me, I'm not so convinced of

it.

So I need to learn from multiple sources

before I am at because that when I'm

when I'm gonna share something with someone,

I have to be I can't just rely

on one person.

I need to be able to say I

did justice

to my

examination before

I talked about something. Wow. There are surahs

in the Quran right now that I don't

talk about

because I haven't done my work. Subhanallah.

I've studied them. I've I've studied the tafsir,

but that's not enough work.

So, like, my biggest advice would be knowing

limits.

That would be 1.

Another advice would probably be

the

dua'at end up in a circle of people

that are similar minded to them

or are in the similar space. Mhmm. And

the more they do that, the more they

start getting cut off from the rest of

society. Yeah. Because they're in their own little

bubble. It's become their own the Islamic world.

Their own little Islamic world.

And

the more you do that, the more it's

hard it's harder for you to understand

what people outside that world feel,

what they go through, what they experience.

You can't

genuinely talk to someone if you don't understand

them.

Sometimes end up becoming more distant from their

own family, from their own parents, from their

because they don't see the religion the same

way. I think

if if someone's gonna be in this space,

they should actually engage the most difficult

family

more

and understand that perspective more.

Because that's what the Sahaba had to go

through.

Not to give Dawah to them, but to

but to not distance yourself

from them. Yeah. That would be,

I wish I didn't do I wish I

did that solo. It's fun. Yeah.

It's hard sometimes to keep that balance Yeah.

Because on the one side, you wanna be

successful, and on the other side, you have,

responsibilities

for family as well. And Yeah. Yeah.

K. Thank you so much.

It was very nice to meet you. May

Allah bless you and inshallah, we'll see you

again.
