PURIFICATION OF SELF

"He Indeed Shall Be Successful Who Purifies Himself" (87:14)

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT FROM THE WORKSHOP

In the first day of the workshop your anger disappears and you enter into a state of peace and tranquility. You feel free and light and your view of life, people around you and the world transforms.

The next day you get rid off the burden of the past and the constrains the past imposes on your view of life. You get access to live in the present and create a new future. You have the power, freedom and self-expression to take any challenge that life throws at you and life is no longer a burden. Your view of life alters. You create a new you, surrendering to the will of Allah and choosing to be His representative. You purify your heart and truly get connected with Almighty Allah.

Third day you witness a whole new world around you by demolitioning (fana) your ego. You see life as simple with Truth prevailing and Falsehood perishing. You experience, love, joy, peace, happiness, contentment and bliss, a gift Allah has given you to experience and share with others.

Unless there is individual transformation
there will be no Universal Transformation.
Now we need a revolution, not for changing others, but to change ourselves

The spiritual weapon of self-purification, intangible as it seems, is the most potent means of revolutionizing one¡¦s environment and loosening external shackles. It works subtly and invisibly; it is an intense process though it might often seem a weary and long-drawn one. It is the straightest way to liberation. The surest and quickest and no effort can be too great for it. What it requires is faith.

BENEFITS:

* GAIN CONFIDENCE * GAIN COURAGE
* CONTORL ANGER * OVERCOME FEAR
* OVERCOME STRESS * OVERCOME INHIBITIONS
* LEAD A SUCCESSFUL LIFE * KNOW WHO YOU ARE?
* KNOW THE PURPOSE OF LIFE? * KNOW YOUR POSITION ON EARTH?
* CREATE A NEW FUTURE * DEVELOP GOOD INTER PERSONAL SKILLS
* CREATING STRONG RELATIONSHIP WITH YOURSELF AND YOUR CREATOR.

There is difference between knowing intellectually and experiencing.
Experience is being present, without definition, expectations or judgment,
with one¡¦s perceptions.

I have traveled to many countries, attending seminars by world renown scholars such as Earl Nightingale, Dennis Weatley, Wyne Dyer and Deepak Chopra, amongst others. All these great personalities passed on information and their personal experiences. I always felt that there was a need to write a course for Muslims, based on Qur¡¦aan and Sunnah. Sadathullah Khan has done it. We have discovered talent that has the ability and method to transform people. My advice to all my brothers and sisters is to take this opportunity to learn the concept of La illaha illallah, the meaning of abundance and the meaning of unlimited possibilities.

I was deeply impressed by Mr Sadathullah¡¦s powerful presentation skills. His unwavering commitment to social revolution through transformation of individuals has touched the hearts of every participant in the workshop held in Dubai. It was a very edifying experience. As hours went by, he began to grow in me. Not only as a trainer, but also as an individual with a passion for making a positive difference to human lives. I have read somewhere that passion is love and anger combined. His moral indignation and anger at the near-total negation of positive re-enforcement in the lives of our Ummah and his profound love for them moved me deeply. Mr Sadath¡¦s grassroots level approach to training will do our Ummah a world of good in the long run and be instrumental in creating a massive tsunami effect in the Muslim society. Perhaps the lessons I took from the workshop are totally different from the lessons most others took. The three-day workshop has had a powerful chastening impact on me as a person and specifically as a Muslim trainer who deeply shares his vision of community transformation starting at the grassroots level.

I liked the workshop very much. It is unique and the best way of doing Islah and dawah. It is an easy solution to all the problems in the families. In life how oneself can do Islah? The remedy for this is in the workshop. Since the workshop has lot of merits, common man should attend it as well as learned persons, especially this will be very helpful for women. It has to be conducted in every city. I cannot express the merits of the workshop, only you will know when you attend it.

** Total transformation in my life! Past sixteen years I have been searching for what I have found today! Every word spoken was powerful; it opened my heart, mind and soul and affected me deeply forever. I will never be theame person again. Past 16 years, my life has been total disaster, divorce, and physically abused, violence. Single mother of two, every problem at work, home, health and finance etc... Realized today I was a "drama Queen" creating my own misery being depressed, sad, negative every day of my life But I was searching for answers, for help, to get out of this and today Allah (swt) has accepted that Dua. I am eternally grateful to Allah and shaikh for transforming my life. I have never felt lighter, happier or more hopeful than at this point! I have found the real, true me. A dynamic, motivating and inspiring workshop. Allah (swt) has truly blessed with a gift of inspiring others. Thank you very much! My duas are with you

** All praise be to Allah Tala for creating, guiding and assisting khan to do this lofty work. I am writing these few words to thank you for a life- altering experience, for the insight into understanding myself, for giving me the keys to unlock my own joy happiness and confidence. I was "STUCK" for 20 years of my life! I have enjoyed this workshop 1000%. I felt all the time that you were addressing me. I intended to continue to make all the inner changes Inshah Allah, Jazakallah-u-khairan. May Allah Tala bless you with good health, a long life and guidance to continue this lofty work. You are doing it excellently. Shukran.

** The workshop is mind blowing connection between psychology and Islam. It is really a wonderful, insight oriented different workshop. The style and coaching was impressive.

** Par-Excellence. The entire Ummah needs to participate in this workshop. You are at the right time in this chapter of Islam.

** I have done numerous workshops and I have attended numerous talks by motivational speakers, what I enjoyed about this workshop was bringing in the Islamic perspective into things. I also enjoyed the humour used and I felt the last day of the course was absolutely fantastic

Despite the ongoing political turmoil curfews and harsh weather conditions, hundreds attended the 3-day Discover Yourself Workshop conducted by A.W. Sadathullah Khan in Srinagar on December 20, 21 and 22, 2008.

My Valley of Kashmir, the solitary paradise on earth. Nature endowed my land with its bountiful gifts in the form of snow peeked mountains, lush green meadows, beautiful waterfalls, fresh water lakes and above all its scenic beauty with which everybody falls in love.

“Discover Yourself” a three-day workshop was held in the Valley from 20-22 December 2008 in the coldest part of winter called Chilay-Kalan. ‘Discover Yourself’ even proved Francis Bacon wrong who claims, “Prosperity doth best discover vice; but adversity doth best discover virtue”, as Sadathullah Khan practically described that vice-versa is possible and feasible also. The participants who entered with heavy burdens of past and fears of future, after three days left relieved enjoying and living in present. Nasreen justifies this claim. F. Kacho states: “My parents have taught me everything in the light of divine teaching, but I feel sorry that they failed to teach me how to practise them in life. By this workshop, I got to give practicality to my knowledge learnt from my parents. Now I came to know how to practise my knowledge in life. Khan Sahib gave a structure to my knowledge”.

The same views are echoed by Umer Imitiyaz: “I really believed that I was a nomad before attending this workshop. We all know Islam stands for complete submission of your will to Allah, but how to do it was a big challenge for me. This workshop not only gives us knowledge, but also gives us a practical way of applying that knowledge”.

Saqib Suraya also reflects the same views: “It was for the first time that I came across a workshop where some practical things were taught (and not some boring theory). Practicality was a part and parcel of this workshop. Some basic things were taught which are there in our sub-conscious, but here they are brought to our conscious level and it is a fact that we can act in a better manner only when we are conscious”.

Fatima Jameel says: “I was making myself right, others wrong, blaming others for my own problems, useless, unhappily searching for peace here and there. I even used to take medicines, as there was no peace in my mind and in my soul. I could not sleep for the whole night. I was restless and I was not sharing my feelings with anybody. My perception was that nobody loves me, nobody understands my feelings. Although I used to pray Salah, but there was no spirituality, it was like doing five-times exercise. But this workshop has changed my perception and context, thus resulting in a change in my actions and words”.

“The workshop helped me in purifying my thoughts, my words and my intentions,” says Zienat Saleem who attended this workshop. “After attending it for just two days, I discovered myself.. who am I and what I am actually on this earth for? I realised that Almighty Allah is there to decide and I am just a creature. Now I respect Almighty Allah’s will otherwise I used to ask why and how”, she adds.

The failures of past and fears of future are the driving forces in our lives. We all spend our lives either clinging to the past or ramifying about the future, thus depriving ourselves to enjoy the present. Shubana Bhat says: “This workshop helped me to discover the Real Me which was oscillating between the past and the future. Although all of us know that Islam means living in peace, but knowing Islam is altogether different from practising Islam. It is difficult to practise Islam completely, but this workshop has taught me nothing is impossible and everything is possible for me if I live in the present”.

This workshop really helped me to ‘Discover Myself’. It helped me to be what I am-a Human Being” assures Sobia Hamid who has stopped playing the blame game. “I held myself accountable for any wrong because it is I who has to make a change and make a difference to other peoples’ lives”.
“Now I feel as if I have dropped my burden down the lane. I learnt to live in the present and stopped cursing or thinking about my past and future. My future is based on my present. I have come to put my trust in Allah and work for my future without any fear,” reflects Safoora Mantoo in a confident tone.

Says Shayista: “Before joining this workshop, I was living life like cattle. There was no meaning in my life, but after joining this workshop, I witness a total change. I was living in the past, but in the workshop I got to know nothing is in the past, everything is in the present. I am thankful to Khan Sir, who showed me the right direction for my life through the Islamic path”.

“The 3-day workshop is really miraculous, I have studied psychology, cognitive sciences and about personality development too, but this workshop made me feel everything practically,” says Yaqeen-Ul-Haq.

Carrying the Message of Love and Peace to Karachi
It was an emotional moment for editor of Islamic Voice, A.W. Sadathullah Khan when he flew over to Pakistan and conducted the 3- day Discover Yourself Workshop in Karachi on January 9, 10 & 11, 2009. Over 300 Men & Women attended the Workshop and some of them share their experiences here.

Nazir : My family and me are deeply grateful for your visit to Karachi. We feel enlightened and energized by the sessions we attended. We probably knew most of the things you explained, but we never practised. Your sessions have given us clarity of thought and impacted our personalities as all this was explained by demonstrations with absolute simplicity. May Allah bless you and give you courage and strength to continue with your mission.

Irfan: I really had a wonderful experience. It is just a mind-blowing experience. It takes you out from darkness to light and helps you to be a good human being.

Najma: Before this workshop, I was sleeping, but this workshop made me wake up with full alertness. The most difficult thing was to change MYSELF. When I went back home after the workshop on the I st day with full spirit, I was feeling like” flying in the air” I was so happy and had a feeling that “ I got some ‘treasure’” Now, I can easily make my children, my husband, my mother, my sisters, brothers happy. Why? Because, I was willing to live in the present from now onwards. My children were observing the changes in me. They are really very happy because I am not scolding, criticizing and giving them orders. I have changed my language. I am giving them this feeling that I do care and love them. I must say Jazak’Allah Khair to you that Allah has sent you here to give this wonderful workshop.

Sarah: I was depressed and did not know what to do, felt stuck, wished my life was short. Cried, mostly and asked Allah’s help. And Alhamdulillah, Allah’s help came. I realized it is in my hands to make myself happy and I was making myself depressed, I did not realize it. Now I know and it’s a good feeling to know that it is in my hands to make myself happy and Inshallah I will, and I have started in my self and my home, with parents, siblings and friends. I am very thankful to Star Link School and brother Sadathullah and I will pray for him to come back soon. May Allah give him success wherever he goes.

Adil: Before this workshop, I was never satisfied with what was happening, blaming Allah and parents for everything. I was looking for faults in everyone and was very stubborn. I had always been a positive thinker, but still I had no peace. In the workshop, I realized I am nothing, thus all the pride and stubbornness got away, all my grudges against my parents, Allah and friends washed away. I feel a heavy load is lifted from my heart. I changed my focus and I am expecting victory and success in my present life. I feel very lucky to be a part of this workshop. May Allah bless our sir, and everyone who had played a role in helping me to attend this workshop.

Fahmida: I thought I have control over my life, but I realised it was an illusion. There were so many discoveries at the workshop which I would find almost shocking and oh my God is –this Me? Am I doing this to my loved ones? I understood the word ‘experience’ and I realised why I am so burdened? I have to work really hard to make a visible change, but I am on the road to change. Jazak’Allah Sir.

Salama: Before the workshop, my life did not have any specific direction. I know there is a purpose for me to come into this world, but could not recognize it. After attending the workshop, all my blindness is gone, and all the things are clear and visible. I will Inshallah practise all the things and spread it among the people. The workshop was excellent.

Shenaz: Before the workshop, I was feeling very angry, tensed and worried. But now I feel so much light, happy and content. The family members are also very happy and we all are enjoying the light and happy atmosphere in our home. Now I do not see anybody wrong. Strange! I am listening to my children and not bossing them. May Allah bless you with all His bounties in this world and in the next world. Ameen.

Ayesha: Life before the workshop was self-centered. I thought I am responsible at home, but I was not. Now I know how to take control of my life. I used to blame the environment and others and now I stopped. I am feeling that I am a different person. I am quite, calm and more responsible. I have special feelings for my parents, brothers and sisters. I am thinking positive for them. I learnt the art of living in the present. Now my mind is empty, I started a new life with different objectives. I have cleared my mind and heart.

Maryam: Before the workshop, I was angry and, rude or I can say a person who does not know how to spread love but now, I am really a different person. I know now, how to spread love and peace. Doing small things for others and then in return getting love, really gives peace to me.

Saira: This workshop was an eye opener. There are so many things in human nature, which we are not aware of. This workshop led to a positive attitude in me. This workshop should be conducted in offices for men.

Rafiq: This workshop was not about discovering yourself, it was about cure yourself, improve yourself and it was about diagnosis and treatment of some psychological heart diseases. Change in understanding and tolerating others’ views.

Fawad: Before the workshop, I felt as if I was a stranger to myself. I was really on a journey to discover myself. Now I find my family members really working according to my intentions. I felt my power of focus, for the first time in life. This workshop gave me the key to control my reactions. The workshop was a very dynamic one, it was very powerful and it filled me with a drive to serve Islam.
Lakho: Life was like cattle, not understanding the real values and principles. I realized during the workshop that man puts himself in problems. Problems are self-centered, so we also have power to create solutions. Such workshops should be conducted very frequently.

Hadia: I stammer when I speak at times, and I always had stage fear. In the workshop I overcame my stage fear. I took up the challenge to speak up. The 3rd day of the workshop was the best.
Khawaja: The day I came in for the workshop there was a lot of chaos, confusion, heart ache, pain, suffering, anger and frustration. But there was always the hope of everything being fixed by a miracle, magic wand of Allah! By the end of the second day, my spirit was enlightened. I was out of my coffin box and feeling confident. For the first time after so many years I am feeling light.
