The Discover Yourself Workshop was held in Johannesburg, South Africa at Nana Memorial Auditorium on March 7, 8 and 9, 2008.
Here, some of the participants share their experiences after attending this life changing programme.
Asma: It is amazing how Khan Sahab has presented the workshop from everyday happening. It stands so real and that is the beauty of it. It is basic, simple common man’s way of removing scales on the things you know before, but do not think about it. Now it feels like the veil is removed and things are clear. May Allah give us the strength to make our effort to change our personal life and ultimately our Ummah.
Ayesha: Your passion for the work you are doing is uncompromising. Being the only presenter for three days could not have been easy. You have extended yourself beyond bounds. Single handedly you included, drama, great humor, accompanied by this life changing programme. Your reward no doubt is with Allah.
Yasmin: As a life coach, I found this workshop extremely helpful. Khan Sahab is an excellent mentor. I wanted to discover the Islamic angle of coaching because there is nothing like it anywhere. Khan Sahab did not disappoint me and he integrated knowledge seamlessly. As I picked up coaching tools, I experienced transformation. I would recommend it to everyone.
Shaheen: I have accomplished a great deal by bringing my children, it makes us come closer. Before the first workshop I was a useless person. After the first workshop, I am an intelligent and successful mother. But after the second workshop I am a better human being, more successful and so fortunate. First, I thank Almighty Allah for giving me another opportunity. Khan Sahab, I do not know how to thank you for changing my life, you shall never be forgotten in my duas. May Allah give lot of success in your life. Jazakallah.
Sabeera: I was very negative towards my future and that of my children, being single mother bringing up five children. Now I feel that I will be ok, Inshallah, no matter which way. I stopped judging and criticizing, but I have always been condemned, judged and criticized. I am learning to be the old me that enjoyed, running, playing in the rain and laughing which my husband hated. For the first time in 12 years I played with my children in the rain on Friday evening and enjoyed it thoroughly and learnt to be a child again and felt lot so happy. Jazakallah for every thing.
Omar: Thanks to Allah (swt) that I have attended this workshop. This workshop has changed my whole life. Before the workshop I was a person with a low self-esteem and a negative self-image. Now with the help of Allah (swt) I am a new person and a person with a positive self-image. Now I can respect my parents, teachers and my friends. I can live in the present and forget the past. This workshop has changed my entire life, may Allah (swt) bless you abundantly.
Shenaz: This workshop is a life changing experience for me. Although I did not participate on stage. Every visual, snippet was excellent. The holistic approach is excellent. Islam is a way of life and this workshop has opened up many avenues. Inshahallah, I will practice the simple techniques which I have learnt and make a profound difference in my life and in other people’s lives.
Fatima: I was getting upset with my husband and children. I came to the workshop upset with my husband. Through learning and becoming aware of my negative things that I was doing in my life, with family and those around me, I have learnt not to blame and find fault with them. I am grateful for seeing that and I have the power to change and by changing I benefit and so will my family. I am responsible for my attitude, my life, everything that happens in my life- I choose for it to happen.
Jameel: The workshop made a big difference from the inside and made me softer and more caring to those around me now. I will now Inshahallah, strive to our major goal in life, gaining closeness and seeking pleasure of Allah. I appreciate the Islamic aspects brought in the workshop and as a Muslim it is a pleasure having another Muslim helping in making us better people. Jazakallah for having this brilliant workshop, May Allah reward you.
Yunus: The past was always pulling me back. I have learnt to forgive and I am optimistic about the future. Hoping to overcome stress. May this workshop grow from strength to strength?
Raeesa: Before the workshop I was a little reserved, had negative outlook of life, and accepted whatever was thrown at me. Now, I am more confident, feel liberated, can question without worrying what someone else will think of me. Made new friends. I found the workshop to be much more than what I expected. My negative perspective changed to positive instantly.
