― Nouman Ali Khan

“One of the great paradoxes of life is that self-awareness breeds anxiety.”

“The same point is made by the Hasidic Rabbi, Susya, who shortly before his death said, "When I get to heaven they will not ask me, 'Why were you not Moses?' Instead they will ask 'Why were you not Susya? Why did you not become what only you could become?”
― Irvin D. Yalom, Existential Psychotherapy

“Warnings are of 3 kinds and stages in the Quran:
1) Destruction of a nation (i.e. Nation of Prophets Nuh & Lut)
2) Warning of Judgment Day
3) Warning of Hellfire
All 3 kinds of warnings are related. Allah is telling us that if we are one of the nations that will be destroyed here, then we are really going to take a beating on Judgment Day, and that will feel like a vacation compared to Hellfire.”
― Nouman Ali Khan
