We’re going to share with you how The Names of Allah 
are a means of ultimate happiness, and a gives you true success in this life and the life to come, inshaAllah!
We bring you ‘Mesmerised’
- 7 Sisters who are creating an Impact by the taufique of Allah!
- 7 handpicked Names and Attributes of Allah that have been immortalised in the Qur’an and Sunnah.
- 7 Personal Reflections of how they have impacted them personally.
There are many things which mesmerise us in life. They leave us in awe, and we long for them and hope one day they’ll be ours. However, everything is temporary, the diamante wedding dress goes out of fashion, and the craving of that scrumptious fresh crème cake soon dies down.
This aside, does anything mesmerise us in such a way, that all our problems become bearable, every hurdle we can rise above and every painful moment, is hidden away by hope.
Allah is Al-Muhsin, the Supreme Doer of Good and He is Ar-Ra’uf, the Most Kind, the Gentle. There is nothing which has the ability to mesmerise us like the Names and Attributes of Allah , because when we understand who our Creator is, we understand how Beautiful He is. In fact, who is worth loving and giving everything too, other than the One who made us?
Everything goes back to Allah, Al-Nasir, the One who gives Victory.
However, He wants us to make an effort, to utilise all our resources around us to make it work, in order to achieve success, and then — depending on His Wisdom, He gives us victory.
This webinar will give you an insight into the Names of Allah which have impacted the lives of others, in hope they will inspire you to aspire higher!
He was strong, he was powerful and he made an impact. However, despite being a mighty ruler, a powerful victor of conquests and nations, Dhul Qarnayn in Surah al-Kahf ascribed his achievements to Allah, saying, “This is a mercy from my Lord” [al-Kahf: 98].
We have bought to you sisters to empower you, but ultimately all good is from Allah, hence the beauty of such a webinar. We take it back to the Creator Allah .
Let’s showcase the Speakers…
