QURAN FOR FAMILY: SURAH RAHMAN
Speaker: Ustadh Nouman Ali Khan
This was Ustadh Nouman’s third and Bayyinah Institute’s fourth program in Little Rock (Previous courses: 10-day Classical Arabic Grammar course in March 2008; Divine Speech: Literary Characteristics of the Quran in June 2009; Tajweed with Shaykh Wisam Sharieff).
About 120 community members attended this event at our newly-built Muslim Community Center from 10 am to 4 pm as Ustadh Nouman took us through Surah Rahman, ayah by ayah.
Some quotes from the program:
“The mind is a prison without the gift of language. Without language (the ability to write, speak or use sign language), the treasures of the mind remain locked.”
“90% of our religion is not knowledge or behavior/action, rather it is attitude.”
“To all those who ask “why do our bodies fail over time (I.e. As we age) and use that as an argument against the existence of God : “This happens by design … Allah has created everything to eventually pass away … We age on schedule as we are meant to… In contrast, man makes things to last but those things still don’t.”"
“Shaytaan refused only ONE sajdah and look where he is destined to go……How many sajdahs do we miss every day?”

For the benefit of those who missed the Jumuah khutbah (Friday sermon) by Ustadh Nouman Ali Khan at the ICLR Muslim Community Center on Jan 27, 2012, we have video recordings available. This was a great effort by Brother Mohamed Ibrahim on behalf of the SPECTRUM team.
