Islamic Adviser Babar

Chaudhry

AsslamuAlaikum!. I have had the opportunity to be introduced to

Arrahman Arraheem Network during an extremely testing time in
my life. Born in a traditional Muslim family, I learned the basic
fundamentals of my Deen.

All was going well in my life till I entered college.

During my years in college, I met with students of all
faiths, ethnic backgrounds and practices who
questioned me about Islam. In my sophomore year, I
was part of an interfaith project where people asked
me about my beliefs. I couldnt provide them with
coherent answers. This was the turning point in my life
when I asked myself, how much do I really know about
Islam? How am I practicing without understanding?
How can I claim to practice the teachings of Al-Quran
without knowing them?

This is where I had the opportunity to listen toBabar Chaudhrys lecture on How
to Read Al-Quran. This completely changed my life! I started attending his classes
and was surprised by the format of the lectures. For example, it is an open
question-answer format where I can ask anything related to my daily life, practice
or confusion. Answers are provided within the reference of ayats from Al-Quran
and Ahadiths. So when I first started reading Al-Quran, I asked the question How
do I know where I am standing in the sight of Allah SWT? Then Babar Sir showed
me a reference from Al-Quran which I found very surprising. In Chapter 21 Surah
Al-Anbiya Ayat 10 Allah SWT says, We have indeed sent down to you a Book
which deals with matters concerning yourselves, why dont you understand? I
found this ayat extremely compelling because Allah SWT is telling me that AlQuran contains guidance for matters concerning ourselves. This is the first time I
had read Al-Quran with understanding. At first I used to read Al-Quran only in
Arabic to gainsawabbut now I am understanding the message as well. Babar Sir
gave me the example that if a person from a diverse background (ex. French,
German, Chinese) needed guidance or an answer to any curiosity from Al-Quran.
In which language is he/she supposed to read? I replied obviously in their own
language in which they understand.

Babar Sir further explained that guidance is attainted through

understanding and only then can we find out what Allah (SWT)
wants from us. He also quoted a saying of the Prophet Muhammad
(PBUH) is that The best amongst you is the one who learns AlQuran and teaches it to others. From that day forward, I vowed to
myself to learn the teachings of Al-Quran with understanding and
practice them in my daily life. This is how I can become a practicing
Muslim.
I am highly thankful to Allah SWT andBabar Chaudhryas a teacher
of Arrahman Arraheem Network in providing this light, platform and
guidance to better understand and practice my Deen! After this I
am grateful to my mother who has supported me in my journey of
becoming a better Muslim.
