Comments of Saadia Bukhari |

It was a very moving
experience listening to the proceedings of the
convocation. May Allah swt help you and all of us
spread this message far and wide till no one is left
untouched. It was so good to hear the presentation
on Alhuda done with such passion and feelings. The
sentiments of the students were exceptional may they
all remain steadfast and with the same feelings and
motivation all their life.
Many many duas for all who participated in this
effort. May Allah swt accept it and reward it with
the best. Our hearts go out to you May Allah keep
you safe and open many more avenues for you and may
we become your helpers in Deen in all ways ameen. |

Comments of a Student of
Taleem al Qur'an 2007 - Iman Kirmani |
Convocation 2008---
How do I express my feelings about it. It reminded
me of the day of judgement. Let me explain you why.
I took 2005 course- online, but due to some events
beyond my control and mostly because of my own
shortcomings I could not finish it.
I arrived at Alhuda center on the morning of
Graduation before 9:00 a.m. The graduates started
arriving one by one --- some in Blue scarves and
some in peach. They were hugging each other,
laughing and rejoicing, reminding me of Surah Abasa....
....and my heart started sinking, I wanted to be
happy for them, but I could not. I asked myself is
it jealousy? My heart said, "no it is something
else". "What is it then?" I asked? Well! it was the
feeling of regret- the immense regret, that I didn't
finish 2005 course. Tears started falling inside me.
I changed my seat, sat behind the online graduates,
looking for familiar faces. Wanted to get over the
regret, but only two words kept on coming to my mind
"Ya Hasrata". I opened my folder and wrote down
those two words, I wanted to remember this feeling
for the rest of my life. It was a feeling I would
never want to feel again, so I had to remember it. I
made a desperate dua "Ya Allah! don't make me among
those people who will feel regret on the day of
judgement". The feeling of eternal regret ---- can't
even imagine, Ya Rub arjoo rahmatak.
Then I saw a familiar face, always smiling -- close
to my heart Alhumdulillah, Rehana Ahmed (she
literally pushed me into 2005 course). I started
crying infront of her, she was there for me with her
sweet reassurance -as usual- May Allah bless her in
every way.
Then you came piyari Ustaza. The program started and
I just wanted to absorb each and every minute of it.
The number of women, the organization of program and
the involvement of your whole family, MashaAllah,
everything was impressive.
The gradutes got their certificates, reminding me of
Surah Al Inshiqaaq.
And finally I started getting happy for them,
Alhumdulillah. They were happy, they were my
friends, they were achievers, may Allah increase
them in Taqwa. Ameen
Just one thing that I was hoping to see i.e. we
heard their names for two years, was hoping to put
faces to their names, but all of the students were
not called to get their certificates, due to the
limitation of time I guess. However, did see sister
Asma, Taimiya, Rushda, Farah Baig and some more.
The graduation ended, saw you Ustaza, people were
shaking hands with you, hugging you, I could not
control myself. First seeing you "haal bay haal", I
thought of only shaking hands with you, but then I
couldn't stop myself and hugged you, don't know why,
just felt like doing it.
Ok. now what? Graduation is over, you met Ustaza, go
home to your family Iman, but wait! I want more.
Looked for Rehana, asked her to give me a tour of
Alhuda. Didn't know if I ever will be able to come
back or not? Wanted to see the room where it all
happens. Rehana gave me the grand tour, showed me
the PALTALK ROOM :) Then I went upstairs and met
with dearest Shazia (where would we be without her,
probably not ONLINE). Spent some time with her and
other friends. OK now what? go home Iman. No, I just
didn't want to leave. Stayed there for a while and
then finally realized it was getting late. My dear
husband was waiting for me. We had to leave for
America the same day. I am so grateful to Allah for
giving me such an understanding husband, without him
I can't do much.
So Ustaza I left, hoping to return one day
InshaAllah to attend your live class. As I was
leaving, I saw you closing the back doors of
Musallah, wanted to give you one more hug, but
controlled myself and went home to my family.
Piyari Ustaza, Allah has given me one more chance in
duniya, I have started 2007 course, although I could
not be one of the Sabiqoon, but that day has put a
new spirit in me Alhumdulillah. Don't want to be
loser on the day of judgement. May Allah help me...
Ameen. Summer is hard on me once again.... all the
summer activities, traveling, parents' visit, in
laws' occasions, weddings Alhumdulillah....already
back logged...but hoping to survive this time
InshaAllah. Ya Allah Ya Kareem make me succeed this
time - in Duniya and Akhira....Ameen
Jazak Allah Khairan Katheera for everything Ustaza...
May Allah give you the best of the both worlds.
Ameen |
