Beware Of The Panting Dog
This Khutbah was recorded at the Islamic Center of Irving on June 22nd, 2016
A chilling reminder for Muslims to hold on tight to the revelation of Allah occurs in this unparalleled analogy in Surat Al-Aâraf. As Nouman Ali Khan explains, Allah warns believers against being only artificially committed to their faith, those who seem to comply on the outside but their soul is completely detached, just like a snake that sheds its skin.

Amazed By The Quran - Trust Your Gut Feeling
When his brothers suggested taking Prophet Yusuf out into the woods to play, their father Jacobâs reaction was one of deep insight. He said that it saddens him that they will âremoveâ Yusuf from him, signifying a gut feeling that something bad will happen to his son which he has no power to prevent. Believers must never underestimate or dismiss such feelings because sometimes these precautionary, protective thoughts are a form of divine inspiration to warn us against or prepare us for pending harm.

The Power Of Bismillah
Ustadh Nouman Ali Khan explicitly elaborates on the power of Bismillah.
When we say, “Bismillaahir-rahmaanir-rahiim”, we are acknowledging about Allah and His qualities, everything that He does is something that’s unique to Him. It cannot be confused with anyone else. The way Allah shows Mercy, guides, and the way Allah provides, the way Allah plans, the way Allah does anything that He does is unique to Him. It cannot be compared to anything and it is His unique mark. Everything Allah does -whether we understand it or not- has beauty in it. When we say “In the name of Allah”, instead of just mentioning Allah, just calling on Allah but actually invoking the name of Allah and actually by invoking the name, the uniqueness of Allah and the beauty of all of the qualities of Allah.
When we say “Bismillaahir-rahmaanir-rahiim”, we are actually asking Allah’s help. The Ustadh elaborates further on the details behind this statement.
A brief analysis is also done on the two most beloved Names of Allah - Ar Rahman and Ar Raheem.
