Asalaamu Alaikum,

I love how he shows the relationship of the ayats with our lives. His lectures are not just theoretical but very practical. He also has great lectures on the tafseer of Juz Amma, if you have not seen it. Very beneficial, MashaAllah. http://bayyinah.com/media/

  Assalam alikum,
  I found notes for some of the suras. Do you know if the text for all the suras is available somewhere?
  Jazakallah khair

This is a fantastic talk, mashallah, which I listened to about a week or so ago.

The first few minutes were actually very difficult to listen to as they sounded like something I went through not so long ago.

It was something I really needed to hear.

Alhamdulillah, very sobering. I really like the way this brother communicates and articulates.

Know that Allah gives life to the earth after its death! Indeed We have made clear the Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) to you, if you but understand. (57:17)

During the middle of this bayan I stopped for salat:

I was outside on my deck praying salatul Asr and after salat, while making dhikr I looked ahead amongst the dead leaves and branches. The remnants of the passing of winter and noticed a single cluster of greenery with sprouting flowers. Instantly the above ayat came to mind. Subhanallah :)

All praise ONLY to ALLAH!!! Uhh..there are thousands of speakers and this speaker is among them. We appreciate every speaker, he is good, the way he articulate is good(in english), nice lecture, much more bla, bla..but we don’t have time to read Quran and appreciate God the way he teaches us in best of best ways. We listen and read to all speakers lectures but NEVER have time for Quran and try to open it and read what my creator is saying to me. This is the big deviation todays generation is facing. Read QURAN and follow Sunnah of Prophet and find Allah in every aspect of life and you will be the best and that’s how society gets better than talking about others expressing superiority of ourself thru lectures or whatever means. I don’t care about any speaker, Just follow Quran and Sunnah, I dont have time to listen these passing speakers they come and go but Quran and Sunnah and it’s teaching never go. so Stick to these always.
