Around 150 participants share their experience of spiritual elevation and peace in the workshop “Discover Yourself” held in December.

Organized by Home of Peace Foundation, at Navi Mumbai.

Mohd Ali: It was a wonderful experience, to experience bliss during the simplest method of zikr. It was knowledge for me that Islam also has this facet of leading individuals towards spiritual elevation and peace. It is very important particularly in today’s context since such ample opportunities are available to non-Muslims. This will certainly bring a vast change to our community. ‘Peace For You’ is doing a excellent job for the Muslim community in holding these workshops “Discover Yourself” at throw away price to elevate the Muslim brethren to attain peace and make their lives full of joy in real sense.

Munsif: Before the workshop I never realized my inner voice in such a unique way. I was prey of my nafs my predator. I actually got to know how to conquer my nafs. It is possible to get it under control though it is difficult. I always listened to my nafs and now I will become conscious instantly and get over it. I need to change a lot of things in me. The workshop was a real success and it has given the best to transform the participants.

Anwar: The best three days I spent in my lifespan. Before the workshop I was full of tension and was dissatisfied with my life. Now I realized that every thing given to me is by Allah’s grace and I should accept it. Through the workshop I came to know many things and now I have a sound mind. I also observed the change in my namaz. The workshop was a very good experience.

Sadiq: This is just the end of the workshop and the beginning of a new beginning in my life. I am very much excited to welcome it. My past life was full of negative energies, always committing mistakes, blamed others for any reason, full of frustration and fear. For me life was not less than hell fire and all these happened because the fault was within me, I was arrogant, short tempered and rigid. But now I realized the true me within me and Inshahallah I will make a new start for a new race of life. Alhamdulillah …. I have benefited a lot and Inshahallah from now I will practice and spread this message.

Ayesha: My life was full of tensions, problems and stress. It was a nightmare I was going through a phase of my life. In fact my marriage of 20 years was on the verge of breaking because of various reasons. I was very unhappy and frustrated. I had lots of expectations from my husband, which I thought he could not live up to. I was always finding faults in him. Always trying to change him and never accepted him the way he is, this led to lot of fights in the house and things went wrong and went to the extent where we both wanted to divorce. That’s when my mom suggested me to attend this workshop I am happy, I listened to her. It’s been a total life changing experience for me. I learnt a lot, self evaluated and discovered myself. Learnt a lot about my negative qualities and myself. Accepting my husband and most of all to forgive others. Thus made a transition from past to present. I do not know the outcome of my marriage but I will try and sort out my differences and make peace with Allah and myself. Thank you sir for giving me this excellent opportunity.

Shivarajani: First of all I would like to thank God and my parents to send me to attend this workshop. It is one of the memorable and precious days in my life. This workshop not only improved my life but also encouraged me to live a quality life. I came to know that we should not listen to the Satan. This workshop should be conducted in each and every corner of the world.

Bharti: Before attending this workshop I was under great stress. I was making myself right and others wrong. I learnt new ways of worshiping and concentrating. I found my mind free, got new vision and to surrender ourselves to the Creator. I found this workshop very beneficial for me in my future life. I commit myself to live in the present and make my life joyful. I will love myself for Allah’s sake and forgive others for Allah’s sake.

Tabbasum: Today to a very large extent I feel like a new person. I also got ways to retain it. I got to know nobody else but myself is responsible for the transformation from bad to good. My entire family was present here. Now we feel like life after today will be full of happiness and satisfaction. I heartily want to thank you sir, for this, you made us understand what we knew already but in a different easy way. Whatever I gained in these three days are treasurable and worthy. Today I realized that everything is possible if you keep your word and listen to Allah. Today I am upset because the workshop is getting over, I wish it continued.

Sabeha: On the second day of the workshop when I went home I did not get angry or got irritated on my children. My mind was cool and no tension was there. Before whenever I used to return home from work, when I used to hear the noise of children shouting and fighting, I used to shout or beat them severely. Even the sound of T.V used to irritate me. I used to be tired and not feel like doing my housework. But on the second day of the workshop I did all my housework, I sat with my husband, children and my mother and shared with them about the workshop. Due to this workshop my life changed at home and in the work place.

Parveen: My life before attending the workshop was very irritating. I totally lived in the past and I was never happy with any of my family members especially my husband and friends. But now, when I have learnt to forgive, I felt the world around me very much satisfactory and wonderful. Now Alhamdulillah I have started living in the present, leaving the past. I am in peace and enjoying every moment of my life in the present. I have learnt to love everyone for the sake of Allah. Now my family members and friends have noticed the change in me and they appreciate me for bringing this change. I appreciate sir, by the grace of Allah for 7 to 8 hrs he was continuously speaking without any kind of stress or tiredness. I just want to say hats off to you for doing and making a lot of efforts to change people. You have changed at least my life and I pray Allah to give you good health.

Shazia: This workshop has benefited me to change my thinking and myself. With the help of this workshop I was able to understand my negative points and strong points and I will inshahallah improve myself. This workshop helped me to relate me to Allah and brought me nearer to Allah and surrender to Him. It made my relationship with my parents and relatives working and brought happiness. It was effective and three days was not enough?
