Empty Cries | Ep. 5 | Striking Examples From the Quran | Nouman Ali Khan

In the world, there are sheep and shepherds, followers and influencers. Shepherds call out to their flock, leading them. Influencers promote products, drawing others to follow suit. But on the Day of Judgment, there will be neither followers nor influencers. Each soul will stand alone before their Lord, accountable for their own deeds. Join Ustadh Nouman for another insightful discussion on Quranic parables, exploring the peril of succumbing to societal pressures and the importance of independent thinking.

I'm from Poland, raised in the catholic family, reverted to Islam 7 years ago. This lecture is totally true, I felt like I'm listening about my family and generally catholics in my country. Every time when I'm trying to make my family think about their actions, like for example why you actually celebrate all these christmas and easter, they really don't want to contemplate about it for a minute, they just answer "that's our tradition". And this hurts me so much. Thankfull to Allah for showing me the right path.

[@JDforeveralone]

So true sister! I'm Austrian, when I listened to this talk and how he summoned up the deviated religions I felt like he really knows how they work. It does hurt like you wrote when they tell you this is our traditions. Mum even once told me that "you have left the traditions of your forefathers" - this really pinched me, cos it's all emeshed emotions. Alhamdulillah, I remembered the ayat where Allah swt talks exactly about this. May Allah swt guide us more and more and show us the right path and keep us firm on it! Btw - I live in North Africa and one of my besties is from Poland ;) 💝

Assalamu alaikum siostro !!!!!! Nawet nie wiesz jak się cieszę, że są też ludzie w Polsce, którzy również powracają do Islamu!!! Ja nawróciłam się jakieś 2,5 miesiaca temu Alhamdulillah i świętuję swój pierwszy w życiu Ramadan. Życzę Ci, aby Allah obdarzył Cię wszystkimi swoimi łaskami i otworzył Ci drogę wprost do Jannah inshaAllah !

Ahsant habibi, ahsant. As an ex-Shia that now identifies as a Muslim that follows the Book of Allah thanks to the blessings of Allah and His gift of reason, I know all too well about the loud, emotion inducing pseudo molanas on the pulpit who also used to say "don't read the Quran" or that the "Quran cannot be understood without xyz". All praise to Allah for this inner calling for wanting to study the Quran, which shook me to the core, Alhamdulillah. Keep up the excellent service to Islam, InshaAllah 🙏

Al-hamdoulillah. This intervention perfectly answered a question i was asking myself today while going for taraweeh. How can people still blindly follow the media especially the mainstream ones, despite all the lies and manipulation which are sometimes clearly debunked and proven to be clear inventions? Yet there are still people who follow them blindly and continue to believe in the lies even when the truth is revealed. Sometimes these people even find excuses to justify the lies, even when the liers acknowledge themselves that they lied. Thanks a lot for this. MAY ALLAH BLESS YOU AND GRANT YOU JANNAH AND SINCERITY.

[@gemmameidia8438]

54:40 this is truee very true, my dad had debate with my aunt who follow a certain udztad idk who that is tho, because my dad said lets learn Quran not just the arabic but the meaning as well. And my aunt said, "No no, an udztad said that if we learn Quran ourself, it might make us blind" and she told a story about a muslem who murtad because she studied Quran. And yes this is a real problem and tbh, this is one of the reason why. I dont follow udztad in my country. I often also contemplate those ppl who went to a khutbah akbar, and they were laughing hysterically cause of the jokes and then crying hysterically because of the dua like why? One of my friend told me about the experience and I asked her, "so what did you learn there?" And she could only remember the dua and how it was so beautiful that it made her crying and how handsome and great the udztad is. It made me think really hard like, is this true? Is this really the right? It was in my head for quite a time to be honest Edit : two days ago tho, when udztad streaming about those ayah in suratul Baqarah that talks about rain, thunder and lightning (ayah 19), it somehow open my eyes as well, and finally found the answer like if someone learn Quran and then murtad because of they got scared or any other reason, that ayah describe it well. May Allah guide us in His path

At the end of the session, I reminded the prophet Ibrahimﷺstory when he standed up opposite the culture Allah says about him in surt al'anbyaa ﴿ولَقَدْ آتَيْنا إبْراهِيمَ رُشْدَهُ مِن قَبْلُ وكُنّا بِهِ عالِمِينَ﴾ And We had certainly given Abraham his sound judgement before, and We were of him well-Knowing ﴿إذْ قالَ لِأبِيهِ وقَوْمِهِ ما هَذِهِ التَّماثِيلُ الَّتِي أنْتُمْ لَها عاكِفُونَ﴾ When he said to his father and his people, "What are these statues to which you are devoted?" And in surt marym ﴿واذْكُرْ في الكِتابِ إبْراهِيمَ إنَّهُ كانَ صِدِّيقًا نَبِيا﴾ And mention in the Book [the story of] Abraham. Indeed, he was a man of truth and a prophet. ﴿إذْ قالَ لِأبِيهِ يا أبَتِ لِمَ تَعْبُدُ ما لا يَسْمَعُ ولا يُبْصِرُ ولا يُغْنِي عَنْكَ شَيْئًا﴾ Remind them of the time,) when he said to his father, "Dear father! why do you worship those things that do not hear nor see nor avail you anything? And when we are pondering about his storyﷺ, It gives us guidance to follow in the right way Like Allah says to us ﴿فَٱقۡصُصِ ٱلۡقَصَصَ لَعَلَّهُمۡ یَتَفَكَّرُونَ﴾ So relate the stories, perhaps they may reflect. May Allah make his wisdom words guide us to his path and his mercy with love,care, and generosity Amen جزاكم الله خيرا
