RIGHTEOUS LIVING IS A SKILL
In spite of being well educated and proficient in our respective fields of activity, we succumb eventually to the stress and strain of life when faced with challenges. The reason for this is that the education we receive is woefully inadequate in helping us deal with life itself. It only provides us with the information necessary to work in a particular field of our choice. But righteous living is a skill, a technique. One need to learn and practise it just as to be a good sportsman or musician or a doctor involves regular practice and perseverance.
Yet, very few of us look at the act of righteous living as a skill. As a result, we remain stunted, with an extremely narrow vision limited to our petty, mundane existence and its innumerable worries and anxieties. We end up missing the larger picture. Steeped in ignorance, we continue to live, oblivious to the purpose for which we have been created.
This Universe is governed by a Divine Law that holds its functioning together. we must learn to understand the functioning of that Law and our role in it. Without the knowledge of these fundamental issues, we become confused and deluded in life. And then we scumb to the pressures of various challenges. We too can be successful, armed with this knowledge, in gaining the vision of life's mission, and acquire mental stamina necessary to discharge our duties and responsibilites in life. we can then live a puposeful life, fulfilling the Will of Allah.

RESPONSES OF SOME OF THE PARTICIPANTS
Syeed: After attending this workshop I have totally changed myself. I have started going to namaz and not wasting my time going out with my friends. Since 3 years, I could not stop smoking, but now I have stopped smoking. I have become sincere and truthful and started respected my elders. My parents are very happy. I am in peace now. I started loving people.I will get 90% and above Inshah Allah in the II PUC.
Tousir: My College has given me a lifetime’s achievement by holding this workshop. I was not a helpful and happy person, but this workshop has really changed my life. By looking at my changes my parents, brothers and friends are surprised and they too want to be like me. They have expressed what a miracle has happened in my life. Seeing me changed, my parents have also changed. On the first day I thought the workshop will be boring and I cannot achieve anything. Now I can say I have wasted my 16 years of my life. I was irresponsible, mischievous, used bad language and disobedient to my elders. After these three golden days I have come out from darkness to light. I have achieved everything what I required in these three days. I declare that in my II year PUC I will get 92%.
Akbar: I had no confidence in my life and was always worried about the future and there were many problems at home. I could not concentrate on studies. I was just stunned and shocked that there was so much of falsehood in our mind and hatred for others. After attending the workshop I felt that I am on top of the world. I had stage and examination fear and this was removed on the last day. Those three days were the golden days for me.
Ahmed: Before attending this workshop I was like an animal not talking to any one at home. I was in my own world, disobeying parents, finding fault with my brother and sister or cousin. I was rude. Most of the time I am out of my home. My parents used to scold me a nd I felt they never loved me. After attending this workshop I realised my mistakes and started to respect and obey my parents. I am now trying to be a good son. I am very good with my brothers and my sister. I will be the best student in the college. By attending this workshop my life has become a heaven.
Shamir: This workshop is beautiful and beneficial. It helped me to shed my guilt and be sincere and responsible. As usual whenever I enter my house I will be tired and angry shouting at my sister, brother and my mother. I had the bad habit of not studying in the house. My father always said I was lazy, irresponsible, and not kind to others. These three days in the workshop are the golden days, as it changed my life. My father could not believe that I have changed. I did all the work before he said. I am studying for 2 hours. I could concentrate on my studies and in my namaz. I had the bad habit of teasing and calling nicknames, after this workshop I have stopped and it is really a miracle in my life.
Mujeeb: I was leading a different life before attending this workshop. I did not know what the workshop is all about? After attending the workshop I came to know who I am? What are my values? Before I had attended many jamats and was unable to get their points. Just I use to hear them but here, the coach is so good that he made us understand each and every point. People learn, know and experience the way of life after reaching the age of 50 to 60 years but I gained every thing at this teen age only. On 16th August I changed my life completely. My family is shocked and asked me what had happened to me? I discovered myself. I am very much thankful to my coach.
Nayeem: Before attending the workshop my life was a puzzle. Whenever I returned home after college I used to scold my mother and fight with my sister. I had stage fear. I loved a girl who was beautiful and she refused me and I even attempted to cut my hands to inscribe her name. Now Alhamdulillah I have come out of this and am free. After the workshop I did every thing and I did not fight or scold, my life at home is really a heaven. I have over come fear. I go home at the right time and do my homework. I have a firm determination to be a doctor and I declare that I will get 95% in my II PUC. I will be the Khalifa of Allah. Our coach is really a big ideal. He has committed himself to transform our lives and I have committed myself to transform my life and others.
Murshed: We have come to know what is life, how we have to live our life. We have got most precious knowledge from which we can make difference not only to our life but also in others. After attending the workshop I have not only taken control of my life but have also changed my outlook. When I use to go home before it was a living hell. From past two days it is just as a heaven. Every one is happy and has peace. I thank Sadathullah for providing this workshop and made a drastic change in my life. I wish the change that occurred to me should occur to each and every human being then this world would also be a heaven. Once again I thank you for providing such a marvelous workshop and opening our eyes at the right time. We are very thankful to you.
Khader: Before attending the workshop I was a disobedient child, lazy, stubborn, never used to share any feelings with others, irresponsible and I never lived in peace nor let my family members live in peace. I created tension but now I am a totally changed person. Now as soon as I enter home I greet them. Now I help my parents in their work. I do not find faults in others. I have made a strong determination that I will get above 95% in my II PUC. Now I have concentration in all subjects. This was a wonderful experience in my life. I was in darkness and this workshop has brought light in my life. I have discovered myself.

After the workshop I forgave everyone and I forgot the past and started living in the present.
NASEEMA: My mind was so much tensed up and there was lot of confusion in the mind since five months. I was fed up of life.

I would always think why this happened to me? Why to me only? Do they hate me? Etc. I could not concentrate on my studies. But now, Allah ke fazal o karam se I do not have hatred, jealousy and enmity against anyone and I have also forgiven everybody. Now I cannot express my feelings, I am really feeling very free and light. I feel peaceful and happy. I am very thankful to Sadathullah sir. Really I have no words to thank him. Masha Allah this workshop has been of great help to me.

I got rid of my anger to some extent. This life is like a drama and everyone are acting, I do not want to act but want to live a real life.
VASEEMA: This workshop has benefited both my family and me to the maximum. I shared every bit of experience with my husband and son. They cherished every word I told them. My husband is now an altered person in terms of impatience, anger etc. My also a religious person has taken lots of interest and I am sure, he will change too. As far as I am concerned I have participated for the second time and this has contributed to my character many many good things like generosity, love patient, kindness etc. I was having the above qualities inherited in me and therefore the workshop has helped me to deepen these qualities and now I have chosen to purify myself.
THASEEN: First time in my life I have attended this kind of workshop and it has helped me a lot to discover myself. It helped to work my life in a systematic and organized way. It has changed my approach and has brought a stepping-stone in my life. The workshop has benefited all others and me.

More workshops must be conducted among the Muslim students to bring up their confidence and develop their personality. Such workshops are great beneficial to the Muslim Society all over India. The Muslims in India today feel quite insecure and backward. They are caught themselves in between a wide range of problems. So more and more workshops must be conducted all over India to bring back the lost glory of Islam.

I am confident to say that I have changed my life.
KUTTY.A: Sadathullah Khan is really inspiration for my remaining (future) life. Long before I committed suicide but could not be successful. The reason for committing was my younger sister's death. I knew it was wrong but I was in a state that no one was there to give me some good words at that time.
After attending this workshop I am confident in my life. Life is really a magic. We can change ourself, but we need a coach. My shyness, my shaytan and my bad things all disappeared. Now I know Who am I? And for what purpose I am living? I want say thanks to my coach.
AMEEN: Sir, I am really thankful to you for conducting this workshop. Before attending my parents and my cousins often said that I am an introvert. But now I am an extraordinary person. Now I am sure when I reach back home they will wonder the change in me and they will surely thank you and will pray to Allah for your well-being. I am not polishing you but I am really telling the truth. I am sure that I have become an extra-ordinary person. I expect you to come every year to our school. I wish you all the best for the future and may Allah's blessings be with you.
RIYAZ: Before the workshop I was lazy, full of tension, afraid to face a group, not confident, I used to tell lies. After the workshop I am totally changed, I understood my faults. I got concentration in namaz. I really thank you. You must take this workshop in other parts of India, you are giving a precious knowledge and I want you to spread this knowledge every where. Your words changed me a lot. My mind is fresh. Best of luck.
BASHEER: Before the workshop I was ashamed of my life. I had great fear and I could not speak to the people. But now all my fear has disappeared. Many many changes came to my life. You have to spread this all over the country.
RASVIN: Before attending this workshop in my life there were lot of problems about concentration, expressing my ideas and many other problems relating with my studies and religion. But in this workshop I was able to remove my fear and shyness. It helped me to think more about my present life and to make a good personality.
SHOUIB.M: Before the workshop I was a little afraid to face audience, talk on stage. But now I am bold enough to speak anything to anyone in any situation. I am now able to take decisions of my life. And the best of all is that I control my life now. This workshop is good, make it available to maximum number of students.
MAHFOOZ: Before the workshop I have no idea about my life and who am I? But after the workshop I am really a changed person. Now I know very well about my life and who am I? Before the workshop I had no confidence, shyness, fear. After the workshop I am confident and my shyness and fear went away.
FATIMA: At first I thought this workshop will be boring and after attending I am very satisfied. Now I can remove all my fear, shyness and other bad habits and leave it my school and go home. Thank you sir, for giving us a wonderful and interesting workshop which changed my life.

RESPONSES FROM SOME OF THE PARTICIPANTS
YASMEEN: In this workshop I got many things, which takes me now onwards to a real life. I got a key to operate my life. I got the path to heaven. I opened my inner eyes, through which I could see who I am? I got an open window through which I can view the whole of my own world. I got a mirror, which shows my real face.
SALIKA: Before attending the workshop I was not comfortable with my life. I had no confidence. But now after attending the workshop I got confidence to face the world and to accept the challenges. I am now a free bird. It has really given me a lot of strength. Now I know how to handle the situations.
FARHEEN: Life before workshop was very harsh, cruel and not worth living. But after the workshop, I came to know that my life is my life. It is my decisions and opinions that make a difference in my life. No one else has a hold on me. Before the workshop I would react to anything and everything, but now I know it is not necessary to do so. If I change, people seeing me change may change. Now I am at ease with myself and I am in control of my life.
NABEEL: My relatives say that I am a very impatient person, short-tempered etc. When I am angry I lose control over myself and I donot know what I am doing. I couldn't listen to a person for more than an hour. If anybody has hurt me I would not forgive him or her and would always be waiting to take revenge. I am always in a hurry. But after the workshop things have changed. I have control over myself. I donot get angry with small matters. I have learnt to be patient. I listen to things carefully and then take decisions. I have learnt to forgive and forget. Thanks to this workshop. I am a new person who is more responsible and forgiving.
ZEBA: I got a lot, which I cannot put it in words. It was great to listen to the experiences of others and learn from the individuals sharing. Before life has been very difficult, no motive to live and no enthusiasm because of some things that are happening in my life. After attending the workshop I have got the strength back in my life and I am prepared to face the challenges and stand for any result with out any worry. What is going to happen will happen and I submit to the will of Allah. I thank God and pray for you to give all the strength.
MALIKA: Being an oversensitive person, my expectations from each of my relationships with family, friends and relatives were really high. After three days I have realized that personal glorification, personal praise is least important. What is important is BEING, do what you have to do, regardless of the outcome. Be true to yourself and leave the rest to Allah. He is the one who will bestow on you what he feels best. Continue the great work. You have Allah ‘s blessings.
MEHTAB: Before I was living in my own world where I would make a mountain out of a mole in all spheres of my life, but now I have made up my mind that I will live a life fully and see that I make a difference in the life of everyone I come across. Inshah Allah, definitely I will bring into practice everything that I have absorbed.
MEHER: I gained a lot after participating in this workshop. I really experienced a world, which is completely different from the world in which I was living till now that is 42 years. I was very much tensed since I lost my parents and two younger brothers lat year. In duration of 15 days I lost both my parents and a brother. After attending this workshop I came out of this and I am finding it free of tension and I am controlling my temper from the past two days. I have a peace of mind. Insha Allah here after I will lead a life of contentment. I shall sacrifice my life for transforming the human beings as many as possible.
RAIYA: Really I was confused in my life, not able to take any steps, though I knew what is my path, aim, destination still I was not taking any action. I was waiting for an opportunity to come to me so that I prove myself. I learnt by attending this workshop donot run away from problems, people, society, and surroundings but face them, tackle them, have patience, tolerate, be in their world, be very confident, kind hearted, be responsible and keep moving in your life.
RESHMA: I actually called my uncle regarding the project for my semester and my aunt asked me to attend this workshop. I was first hesitant to attend but I thought that I would come across many friends who may help me in searching a project and a job. In the workshop I got meaning to my life. I gave up so many bad things that had become part of my life. I got back my best friend back. Now I am free, I feel that I have discovered myself. The workshop has really changed my life and me.

37- THREE DAY WORKSHOP FOR MEN
“DISCOVER YOURSELF”
HELD AT : AL-AMEEN A/C SEMINAR HALL
BANGALORE
ON MARCH 13,14 & 15TH 2004
RAFEEQ: Its one of the most innovative approach to bring everybody to the platform of self-realisation. Even though I cannot express individually, I am finding change in each and every aspect of my life, the change is multi- dimentional. This workshop has made me to realize my mistakes, which were very subtle and I never gave importance to those in my day to day life. The hard work and commitment of Sadathullah Khan and his team is not only astonishing but also admirable. May Almighty Allah give them strength to conduct more and more workshops.
SHOUIB: The most important thing I achieved in the workshop is concentration in namaz. I got confidence, courage, to face people and freedom of expression. I was a shy person from childhood and was not free with people. Every one blamed me for this. I wanted to improve myself and this workshop helped me in improving myself. It was an excellent workshop.
MAZHAR: This workshop was amazing and it was a great experience with different groups of mixed aged men. All the years I thought I knew who I was until I attended this workshop. It certainly has brought a change in me. I feel so much more confident about life. I had overcome my anger, stress and frustration. I feel pure in my heart and mind now. I realised how simple life can be.
ZAMEER: I am finding my life peaceful and full of joy. I was very much disappointed in my life before attending this workshop. I am very thankful for the organizers of the workshop.
MASOOD: Before the workshop who I was to the family was a strict husband, strict father and a strict head of the family with no soft corner. But after my declaration to the family that I choose to be loving, caring and straight, the attitude of my family towards me altered as a friendly person.
MUJAHID: I was always living in ( dream land) past or future, this resulted in not being happy for what I have. I had no proper sleep, restlessness and always thinking of making money. Today I have a peace of mind, happiness and relaxed. Being in the present really helped me.
AKRAM: I came to know who I am. I came to know who my wife and my children are. I came to know who I am for my mother, father and brothers. I was carrying tons of load which I dropped at the workshop. I am now feeling light, free and great. I thank Allah for guiding me to participate in this workshop.
MOHD TARIQ ( MUKUND) : I have started living in the moment. My life is a playground and I will paly with dignity. I will forgive people and I also seek God's forgiveness. I will represent God in the best way possible. I choose to surrender to God.
IQBAL: This workshop opened me up in a lot of ways. Eventhough I was following Islam in good way, there were many loopholes here and there. I was thinking we are human beings, so doing small mistakes does not matter. After the workshop I realised that, whatever was instructed by God and the Prophet ( Pbuh) has to be followed strictly other waise there is no point in being a representative of Allah ( Khalifa). I think these kind of workshops should be held in every city of India and cause awareness to the Muslim community.
IMRAN: Before coming to this workshop my problem was that I could not concentrate on anything neither in home nor in office. A s result I did not enjoy the confidence of my friends and family members. I was even afraid of speaking openly with my heart. I was not able to concentrate in my namaz. Now things have really changed. I can concentrate in my namaz, also at home and in office things are slowly changing. I am able to gain complete peace of mind.
MANSOOR: Before I was always tensed, brooding and introvert. Now I am a changed man. I have learnt to forgive. Most important thing is that I started to take control over myself and my actions. Unfortunately words cannot describe the feelings. The difference it has made radiates everywhere in my home. I have brought happiness to my home, wife and self. This workshop should be conducted for the Imams as majority of the Muslims will benefit through their Friday sermons.

RESPONSES OF SOME OF THE PARTICIPANTS
SHIHABUDDIN: Really, by the grace of Allah, I am transformed! Before the workshop I was living in fantasy and now I am in reality and in the present. As a Muslim, this workshop convinced ‘who a Muslim should be'. To me it is a call to act and play in the court. Moreover, as an affect of this workshop I am purified.
ANAS: I came on the first day here with a load of burdens and bad feelings haunting me, but now I feel light hearted and relaxed. Now I can love everyone, even my enemies, but not Allah's enemies. I am ready to sacrifice my life for Allah's cause. I feel happy that I am now courageous, patient and purified.
RAHMATHULLAH: I had not participated in such types of workshops earlier. According to me this workshop is marvelous. This workshop has made a very deep transformation in my life and my family life. I strongly believe that it will also enlighten my future life. My gratitude to you for transforming my life and giving me a new life. Please learn Malayalam language sir and conduct this marvelous workshop for common people of our society, as it will change the whole society.
MUSTAFA: This workshop helped me very much and I congratulate Sadathullah Khan for giving me a different perspective of life. I was a person who never kept promises, taking revenge and judging others. Now I have shed all those bad qualities in me. I am completely freed. I feel happy to say that I have started giving importance to the present. Please conduct this workshop for women also.
SIDIQUE: The workshop has brought transformations in my attitude towards my family. I used to advise and blame my family but now I stopped. Now I am clear in my mission. Earlier, salvation of life for me was a mere word but now I got the real meaning of salvation. In brief, I got an enchanting transformation, that is, I discovered myself as a khalifa of Allah.
YUSUF: I feel all my tensions are gone after attending the workshop. I am going home without any baggage, which I have dropped here. I am sure that I shall deal powerfully with my spouse and my family, as I have transformed. I also hope to transform my wife and then others in my community.
SHARFUDDIN: I realized my strength, my weakness and myself. I had been carrying the past. I never thought about the present. I thought that pleasure lies ahead of me. Now, I understood that pleasure and peace is within me. I had attended many personality classes, but did not put into practice. In this workshop, I could put to practice and the results were excellent. The topics on hijrah and Jihad are too thought provoking. This workshop is very much useful to social workers or to any Muslim. I thank Allah and Sadathullah Khan sir, for holding such a workshop.
ABJITH: I used to ask my parents what is ‘LIFE' and they said that everyone have their own life and their own point of view. I could not realize it. Now after attending the workshop I came to know what life is. Three days before my life was without confidence, life without forgiveness and life without patience. Now I am confident, forgiving and patient. I was always worried about my stupid past and now I can learn from my past. I have admitted the reality and now jumped into the court and start playing my life with free mind and Allah will inshahallah guide me.
MOOSA: This three-day workshop was very useful to me, it changed my behaviour. Before attending the workshop I had many negative qualities in me. After the workshop all my disappointments and negative attitudes went away. I got confidence and I realized that anything is possible. This workshop should be held in every village.
SUBAIR: I changed myself, I discovered myself. Before I was lazy and never kept my word. After the workshop, who I am is my word; I shall be in the court and play with no attachments for the results. I shall be in the present and create my future. I liked this workshop heartily.
SHAHEED: Now I am able to apply Islamic Teachings, Qualities of Allah and the Prophet (Pbuh) in my life. The workshop helped me to create good relationships. Now I understood some of the real meanings of Islam. This type of workshop should be popularized. May Allah help us. Ameen.
BASHEER: This workshop gave me confidence to face any circumstances in my life. I feel that I am totally changed and an accomplished student. I gained lot of benefits and also had an opportunity to meet many scholars and great personalities in this workshop. Ultimately this workshop opened a new way of life for me. I intend to enroll many of my friends for the next workshop.
SHAFEE: I was familiar to most of the ideas that was explained by Sadathullah khan. But what I got out of my participation is a very new feeling of greatness of Islamic Ideology. Really, I am very happy for getting a chance to witness the attractive presentation of Sadathullah Khan. I am sure I underwent some changes in my qualities deliberately or undeliberately and I am sure this kind of workshop will help change the attitude of Muslims.
SIRAJ: I came to this workshop with so many mental pains and feelings. After the three days workshop, I am sitting here in full happy mood, all my mental pains and feelings disappeared. I show my thanks to Janab Sadathullah Khan and to the Chair for Islamic Studies and Research, University of Calicut for holding such a workshop. You must conduct this workshop to all our Muslim Communities.
HUSNA: I first want to thank Allah (swt) and then Sadathullah Khan for holding such a programme and for giving us an opportunity for the spoiled brats to reform. I attended the workshop on the insistence of the lecturers. In the beginning of the programme I was resisting and as it went on I was slowly drag into it and was so much engrossed that I wished it continued forever. I was not a spoiled child but after my fathers death I felt my whole world has been snatched away from me and then I suddenly took to all bad habits like telling lies, not respecting the elders, and doing all sorts of wrong things. This workshop helped me reform my self by realising all my follies and I came back to my good life. I want to pray to Allah that such a workshop be held again so as to reform our lives. Lastly I want to thank with the bottom of my heart to Sadathullah khan sir.
AMINA: Never thought of what quality of life, I was earlier living. I was just a deadwood adrift – no aim, nothing, troubled by my past, I was hoping for a better future without taking any action. If I had not attended this workshop my deen and duniya would have gone to the dogs. But now I feel I can salvage my life and move ahead. All this I am writing is true. I feel like crying when I recollect all these years of my life, how I have wasted them and led them in misery. I feel now that my Allah has guided me. I had never till this day thought about my relationship with Allah, just thoughts of Allah was in general terms. Keep up the good work.
SHAESTA: The three-day period has changed the outlook of my life. All the basic and simple things in life of which we are worried and that looks so huge are covered in just a matter of 24 hours. I never believed that so much of difference could be brought about in just three days. Before the workshop, most of my energy was spent in just thinking and thinking of either past or future. Is this right or wrong. I am living in the present and there is new meaning to my life now. I would like to heart fully thank Sadathullah khan and his team who arranged this workshop here.
SHAJI BEGUM: I thank Allah a million times for giving me an opportunity to participate in this three-day workshop. All the problems, which I had in my married life, have vanished. What I mean is that my married life was a burden but now it has become blessing and the husband has now become mine. The expectations I had from my Lord have been fulfilled. By the grace of Allah now all areas of my life has become a blessing. I pray to Allah to create more such persons as Sadathullah Khan so that in the entire world every Muslim led a life of true khalifa of Allah.
AYESHA: This workshop was very interesting; I gave up my short temper and my bad habits after attending this workshop. I was not able to concentrate in my studies and now I will get 95% result inshahallah. I request you to hold more such workshop. I thank the lecturers and the principal for giving me an opportunity to attend this workshop and I thank sir.
HAFZA: I have discovered a human being out of myself. I learnt to respect my elders, love my children and most important of all forgiving and helping. I had a very good experience and it is really very difficult to write what I got? It is a lovely feeling, which has brought peace and tranquility in my life; the most important benefit is I have grown younger. Before attending the workshop I was an animal. I was very rude to kids and elders. Even a taunt, gossip, backbiting would hurt me, because of which I had sleepless nights. But now I am totally transformed into a human being. I thank Allah who made me attend this workshop.
SADIQUA: I got freedom and life seems to be different after this workshop. Before the workshop I used to think and feel that no body likes me, my character, I am a big mouth and so on, I used to fight for every little thing. I came to know that every moment of my life lies in me, the way I think. I choose myself they way I am. I have got peace, everybody is looking good, fine, the world and life looks nice. Thanks a lot for making a difference in my life.
ASIFA: Firstly, I thank Almighty for giving me the opportunity to attend this workshop. I really appreciate Sadathullah Khan for holding this workshop, which was really very informative, it changed our lives, experienced new things, felt better and light. I am really thankful to you and request you to conduct this workshop more and more. I really discovered myself.
FATIMA: I have accomplished a lot. I find a different person in me. I am a confident person now. I have been able to overcome my ego, depression and tensions. I am able to love and appreciate everyone. I can forgive everyone; I am able to enjoy my life. I feel satisfied, happy with what I am and what I have. Before this workshop, I was just surviving. Now I have found a meaning to my life. Yes, I have discovered myself, my true self. Thank you very much for making a difference in my life.
S.JAHAN:I am the lecturer in this college. I like to say that this workshop has imparted immense benefits. Whatever appreciation is said about this workshop is less. The workshop has impacted each and every student, including myself. It has given a new life to everyone of us. All the hidden potentialities have emerged out. Sadathullah Khan has shown the reality of human being and burnt the ego inside us. I pray to Allah to give him and his family good health and love. Ameen
TABASSUM: I have immensely benefited from this workshop. I have left behind all my past and I am living a peaceful life. I have become more tolerant, less irritating and more loving towards my children. My children like this new mummy very much. I have not nagged my husband for the last two days and I have accepted him for what he is and what is not. I have got a new lease in my life. I found Sadathullah Khan to be extra-ordinary, very energetic and untiring (we get very much tired after one hour of lecture).

I think I am capable of handling my life in a better manner. I am more at peace with my self. Good work!! I think every woman need to be educated in this manner. A lot of domestic violence will come down by such workshops and people will be at peace with themselves and others. Keep it up!!!

Some times I use to feel ‘ARE' all Muslims like this, but I was wrong. I was not knowing who I am. After attending this workshop I have learnt so many things. I learnt who I am and I will forgive every body. I will love every body. I will give peace to others. I will keep my surrounding happy. I will be a diamond till I am in this world. I thank sir, for the change he brought in me.

I felt ultimate joy and peace at the end of each day of the workshop. My ego is washed away and I feel myself calm and peaceful. I will be the Khalifa of Allah throughout my life.
