The Sincere Struggle for Allah - Khutbah by Nouman Ali Khan

In this khutbah Nouman Ali Khan focuses on the last ayah of Surah Al-Hajj, where Allah asks us to struggle in a way that is worthy of Him. Even though this seems impossible, Allah makes it easier for us with a reminder that each one of us was carefully chosen to be Muslim because we are capable of things that we are not even aware of.

We learn from the legacy of Ibrahim (AS) that whatever difficulties we face, Allah will make them easy the way He has eased the hardships of Ibrahim, the one prophet whose trials are unparalleled.

As Muslims today, we have become a target, but Allah has chosen us specifically because we are best qualified to withstand these hardships. That is our purpose and the more sincere we are in our struggle for Allah, the more He will ease our burdens.

My heart was tightened due to difficulties of this dunya. But after listening to these ayats i feel better alhamdulillah.
May allah makes us all strong to hold on to him..

I found this video at the perfect time. Chinese Muslims are experiencing increasing oppression and persecution regarding their religion. In certain regions Muslims are prohibited by the government from going to the masjid, arrested for having a Quran app in their phone, rejected by schools for wearing hijab, threatened to quit praying...Among the public Islamophobia is also on the rise. People on the Internet would use the dirtiest expressions to insult Muslims and Islam, although this can be found all over the world, what's different in China is that even those few authentic sources of getting to know the true message of Islam are blocked, including a blog of my own. The struggle is real for Chinese Muslims. I have been feeling a bit frustrated and demotivated recently but the reminder of Ustaadh Nouman rekindled my passion and determination. The struggle is hard but never too hard to bear, for what an incredible protecting guardian is Allah and what a constant massive aid that he posses.

The fact that you extracted all these things from one ayah is mind blowing ! May Allah grant you jannatul firdaous, ameen.

Nouman Ali Khan is one of the few Islamic speakers who easily makes his listeners understand what he says :)
A great motivation for the nation, my sincere thanks and gratitude to Allah SWT for being blessed to have known this amazing lecturer

mashAllah! so very true! i have tried to give up tobacco for 21 years, since i reverted to Islam.. it never stuck. it was always a huge struggle, and the first fitna, i was back to the addiction. finally i gave it up solely for the sake of Allah subhana wa ta'ala, begging him to remove the addiction in order that i can please him in all things in my life. And this time, i didn't even feel it! no withdrawals, only slight discomfort, no struggle, even when i had to be around people smoking (walking down the street, etc). Alhamdullillah! it was impossible for me to stop the addiction, but for him? it was as nothing!

Khutba Notes:
Theme: Submission to Allah
- Allah in His Supreme Wisdom deems you qualified for His Straight Path, even if you do not see it yourself.
- Allah created the Heavens, the Earth, and us with precise purpose.
- Ibrahim AS was an army of an ummah because he stood alone.
- You’re on the path of Ibrahim AS, meaning, just as he went through hardship and Allah made it easy for him, our struggle will be made easy by Allah as well (and our struggles are not even comparable to Ibrahim’s)
- Once you accept the fact that Allah is an Excellent Protector and Guardian, He will open up the Pathways of the deen.
- Maintaining constant Sabr is the true sign that you are following the legacy of our father Ibrahim AS.

Amazing khutba as always!! May Allah bless Sheikh Nouman.
