Oh Allah, keep them steadfast on the path of Eman
And grant them the highest ranks in Paradise
Just as you gifted them the guidance of the Qur’an
Guided… through the Qur’an!
‘Guided through the Qur’an’
‘Living it is the sweetness of life’
‘Longing to the Lord, coming to Him’
‘To Him I submit my soul’
‘It is the light of the body and the heart’
‘I declare submission to Allah’
‘His verses are becoming lightening candles’
‘And the brightness overflow from my heart’
‘It is the light of the body and the hearts’
‘I declare submission to Allah’
‘His verses are becoming lightening candles’
‘And the brightness overflow from my heart’
A former renowned musician
Allah SWT guided him through few verses that we all read on a daily bases
And his life completely changed!
And happily he is living with the Qur’an
It’s Rahim Jung
I met him in London, and he invited me to his house.
Shiekh Rahim, praise to Allah, your house is very beautiful
And your children are very nice
I ask Allah SWT to preserve them
Thanks for your generosity in welcoming us
How many children do you have sheikh Rahim?
Rahim was so fond of music
So much that as soon as he finished school, he took a career in music industry against the will of his parents
He started with a small project
And he worked hard till he finally worked with international record companies
Rahim was brought up in a non-religious household
So when I asked him about his faith before Islam, he said:
Unfortunately, this is similar to the condition of many Muslim youth today
Captivated by music and hits
And it’s the condition of all who worship their own desire
Without guidance from Allah SWT
Allah Almighty says:
“Have you seen the one who takes as his god his own desire?”
May Allah protect us!
Rahim, when did the seed of Islam start growing in your heart?
Unlike how Rahim thought of his life
Despite the fact he had much wealth
His life was very difficult and unhappy
And this is the reality of life
Allah didn’t make it happy for those who have money only
But he had it happy to those who do good deeds
‘When my inside became so thirsty’
‘When my tears turned bloody’
‘And I feared that path leading to Hell’
‘I sought the Qur’an’
Allah SWT mentions in this great verse
“For indeed, with the hardship [will be] ease.”
“Indeed, with the hardship [will be] ease.”
He mentioned the word for hardship with “the”
So it’s a specific, one hardship!
And He mentioned ease with no specifiation
Making them 2 different eases!
And it is impossible that one hardship overpowers two eases
So glad tidings to those in hardship with the ease of Allah SWT
‘Guided through the Qur’an’
‘Living it is the sweetness of life’
‘Longing to the Lord, coming to Him’
‘To Him I submit my soul’
‘Guided through the Qur’an’
‘Living it is the sweetness of life’
‘Longing to the Lord, coming to Him’
‘To Him I submit my soul’
‘The path seemed filled with thorns’
‘…till it was quenched with the morning moist’
‘So did the heart pleased You’
‘..oh Allah, when it absorbed Your guidance’
Rahim’s decision to become a practicing Muslim was not an easy one!
For he lived a luxurious lifestyle
A lifestyle that anyone his age dreamed of
The hardest challenge Rahim had, was his mothers objecting Islam so much.
She considered all those who follow religions to be hypocrites
Especially the Muslims
Can you imagine that for 17 years, he couldn’t tell her anything about Islam!
Glory to Allah! He guides whom He wills!
‘I lived with the habit of doing mistakes routinely’
‘But I never found happiness’
‘Till finally I discovered the worship’
‘How relieved I became when I am on the right path’
Rahim has much love for the Qur’an
He’s keen on reciting and listening to Qur’an everyday
I was amazed by his reflections, and his recitation of the Qur’an
‘Blessed is the One I returned to’
‘ He extended all His hands to us’
‘To His strength I leave my heavy load’
‘Oh Allah forgive my heavy sins’
Rahim has become a media person!
He has been keen to deliver the message of his faith through media outlets
He hosts a very popular show in Islam Channel
Which we also visited with him!
Sheikh, thank you for this very beautiful and heart-felt meeting
To end it, I want to know the wish of Rahim
What does our brother Rahim wish?
The Qur’anic website, Nun, will definitely help translate this work
They are specialized, and I hope they will support all your Dawah activities as well
‘I walk on the path of my Qur’an’
‘And see its kind dawn shines’
‘I recite it and memorise it and reflect upon it’
‘I walk on the path of my Qur’an’
‘The spring and the joy of my days’
‘My friend, the one who knows my dreams’
‘The cure for my sorrow and my complains’
‘It heals my bleeding wound’
‘The spring and the joy of my days’
‘My friend, the one who knows my dreams’
‘The cure for my sorrow and my complains’
‘It heals my bleeding wound’
‘Then when I repent and come back’
‘To the path of the words of the Lord of the Bait’
‘I find the grace and the comfort’
‘I was guided through the Qur’an’
