Nouman Ali Khan Quotes

“Every single success you experience is a combination of two things: your effort and Allah’s help. When you don’t put in enough effort, Allah does not give His barakah. And sometimes you might put in a lot of effort but you may not see the result you expected. That, also, is Allah’s barakah.

Nouman Ali Khan

Nouman Ali Khan

Nouman Ali Khan

“So what does our deen (religion) want? In a nutshell, what Allah wants from us is to constantly try to get better. Not to become perfect, but to get better. Get better than what? Get better than who? Get better than yourself from yesterday.

We just have to constantly try to improve. At the end of the day, it doesn't matter if we’re talking about ourselves as teachers, da’ies (preachers and advocates), worshipers, as Muslims in any capacity — all our deen wants is constant effort to improve.

If we internalize that, then it gives us many benefits. One of the most important benefits of that realization is, we will never be satisfied with where we are.

Nouman Ali Khan

“Allah (swt) told Musa (as) to be nice to Firaun. Firaun tried to kill Musa (as) when he was just a baby. Firaun killed a thousand babies every year. He called himself God. There’s so many reasons to hate Firaun and Allah (swt) says when you go to him, be nice to him. If you have to be nice to Firaun, what about your wife? What about your husband? your children? your parents? your siblings? your cousins? your uncle? These are the people that make us angry. Family makes you really angry, I know. But these are the people that deserve the softest responses from us. We have to change the way we behave with them.

Nouman Ali Khan

“Islam didn’t make it Haram for you to fall in love. It didn’t forbid you from wanting someone. It only guides that love so it protects you, her, your families and especially saves you from humiliation on Judgment Day. If you love her so much, why are you OK with letting her engage in this questionable relationship knowing full well that she will have to answer Allah just like you will. You don’t love her enough to save her from that?

Nouman Ali Khan

“You and I are not Muslim, because we are born in a Muslim family. You and I are not Muslim, because you read a book about Islam, or saw a Youtube video and decided to become Muslim. We are Muslim, because Allah chose us.

Nouman Ali Khan

“It is not true that if we had true faith we would not be sad. Prophets (peace be upon them) and righteous people experienced a great deal of sadness. The Quran is full of stories in which the central theme is sadness. Sadness is a reality of life. The Quran is not there to eliminate sadness, but to navigate it. Sadness is one of the tests of life, just as happiness, and anger are tests.
