AsslamuAlaikum!. I have had the opportunity to be
introduced to Arrahman Arraheem Network during an
extremely testing time in my life. Born in a
traditional Muslim family, I learned the basic
fundamentals of my Deen.

All was going well in my life till I entered
college. During my years in college, I met with
students of all faiths, ethnic backgrounds and
practices who questioned me about Islam. In my
sophomore year, I was part of an interfaith
project where people asked me about my beliefs. I
couldnt provide them with coherent answers. This
was the turning point in my life when I asked
myself, how much do I really know about Islam?
How am I practicing without understanding? How
can I claim to practice the teachings of Al-Quran
without knowing them?

This is where I had the opportunity to listen
to Babar Chaudhrys lecture on How to Read
Al-Quran. This completely changed my life! I
started attending his classes and was surprised
by the format of the lectures. For example, it is
an open question-answer format where I can ask
anything related to my daily life, practice or
confusion. Answers are provided within the
reference of ayats from Al-Quran and Ahadiths. So
when I first started reading Al-Quran, I asked
the question How do I know where I am standing
in the sight of Allah SWT? Then Babar Sir showed
me a reference from Al-Quran which I found very
surprising. In Chapter 21 Surah Al-Anbiya Ayat 10
Allah SWT says, We have indeed sent down to you
a Book which deals with matters concerning
yourselves, why dont you understand?  I found
this ayat extremely compelling because Allah SWT
is telling me that Al-Quran contains guidance for
matters concerning ourselves. This is the first
time I had read Al-Quran with understanding. At
first I used to read Al-Quran only in Arabic to
gain sawab but now I am understanding the message
as well. Babar Sir gave me the example that if a
person from a diverse background (ex. French,
German, Chinese) needed guidance or an answer to
any curiosity from Al-Quran. In which language is
he/she supposed to read? I replied obviously in
their own language in which they understand.

Babar Sir further explained that guidance is
attainted through understanding and only then can
we find out what Allah (SWT) wants from us. He
also quoted a saying of the Prophet Muhammad
(PBUH) is that The best amongst you is the one
who learns Al-Quran and teaches it to others.
From that day forward, I vowed to myself to learn
the teachings of Al-Quran with understanding and
practice them in my daily life. This is how I can
become a practicing Muslim. I am highly
thankful to Allah SWT and Babar Chaudhry as a
teacher of Arrahman Arraheem Network in providing
this light, platform and guidance to better
understand and practice my Deen! After this I am
grateful to my mother who has supported me in my
journey of becoming a better Muslim.
