Are you truly free or are you a hostage to your choices?

In this video, Ustadh Nouman Ali Khan explores the profound meaning behind "rahina" (hostage) and its implications for our lives. Our deeds, whether good or bad, are the price for our ultimate freedom. Learn how Islam offers liberation through good deeds, repentance and trust in Allah’s mercy. Discover how we are often imprisoned by addictions, societal expectations and our own desires—and how turning to Allah is the key to breaking free.

I came out of masjid sat in my car and asked Allah to allow me to live in a Muslim country like Saudi Arabia so I can wear hijab and not have people judge me. Not even non Muslims, our own Muslims sometimes judge oh this person started wearing hijab because they want something to look pious. So I kept talking to Allah you make miracles make it work for me to live in a Muslim country. Then I play this video as I start to drive away not knowing what it’s going to be about. Allah swt is kind, I love him.

"Allah doesn't want perfection, Allah want you to do the right thing and keep moving forward and never step back"

[fatimah]

Uncle Nouman cooked on this one!!🔥🔥🔥 "You will be a slave to something so choose Allah so you won't be a slave to anything else"

[financethursina]

It's amazing that the Quran is called a reminder, because every time I forget to study the Quran, I easily commit sins. On the other hand, when I committed to reading and trying to understand the Quran, it saved me from sins. Barakallah Ustad Nouman, may someday I can join your Majlis in person.

Bottom line of whats being talked about in 24:00 is (i guess): you do good deeds to earn THE MERCY of Allah. That mercy will lead you to jannah.

[sabihahasan-hc]

Alhamdulillah !!!! What an eye opening bayaan from Ustad. May Allah Swt bless him immensely and give him a long life. Also pray to Him to turn the hearts of all the listeners towards the Deen as Allah wants us to be. Ya Allah make us strong and free individuals, never deviating from Siraat e Mustaqim.

[arshiyabegumm]

Everytime I listen to this man conversation it makes my day, may Almighty bless him with good health and very long life so that he can help others to get to the right path.. Ameen

[jourastladzuardy]

May Allah grant ust. Nouman a beautiful place in Jannah and forgive all of his mistakes.

[nuhismaila]

He's indeed a mercy from Allah to our present generation.
May Allah forgive me if I'm overating him.
But I love his speech so much.

[Maheer]

NAK is the one of the best teachers and i am making dua to Allah to reward him and preserve such jewels of our ummah.... ❤

[Iluvdeeneislam]

Allah is always watching, and He hears your deepest thoughts in the depths of your heart. Focus on doing good deeds and control your nafs (desires) to earn His pleasure and Mercy.

Alhamdulillah, how we human struggle with psychology, philosophy, human nature, throughout our lifes, and Allah how simply in one Ayah gives us those knowledge! what a blessing! How Perfectly Allah gave us Revelation!

[zeenathasan]

I love this concept of plain audio without anything on the most of the videos are like that on social media!
It makes it easier to concentrate on the content of the speech.

[liyakathp-kg]

Let me be grateful to Allah for giving us such a magnificent knowledge of ourselves which we didn't know till this day and till Allah's chosen ustad make us understand.

[nmdiop]

MashaAllah, this was so clear and helpful. As Muslims we sometimes struggle with our free will and Allah's swt Will. This was a perfect explanation ❤ may Allah retribute you in dunya and Akhira ❤
