The Journey Begins…
September 30, 2007
Friday the 7th of September 2007 marked a momentous occasion in the history of Al Huda Canada. The first step to the start of a beautiful journey, a journey through the Divine words of God- the Quran. The partially constructed walls, and further to be improved sound system could not hold students back from filling the main hall of Al Huda Institute. Rather, all the re-construction work only added to the atmosphere of rebuilding, remolding and changing for a better, brighter future.
For me, the Quran is the epitome of love, hope and peace. Quran is my compass which directs me to my true north..always a loving hand bringing me back to reality. Quran is my light in an ocean of darkness..it brightens my path and warms me through the trials and tribulations of life. Quran is my energy, my passion, it brings me to life. It is my sincere, best friend- an honest mirror always showing me my true self. Quran opens up for me new doors and opportunities. It makes me smile, cry, laugh and ponder. For me, Quran is my Reason for Being.
And so the sea of ready, eager faces which greeted me on the morning of Friday the 7th of September 2007 filled me with an overwhelming sense of emotion. I pray that you all, will have the most amazing journeys of your lives. May Allah adorn your hearts and lives with the Divine light, and deepest love, of His Glorious Book-The Holy Quran…

Assalam-o-aliqum
My journey began when i was born!!! ok lets fast forward…………Starting this course has given me some sense of confidence and determination. With one Juz completed and 29 more to go I am as exicted as you would be if you got another chance to start life over again. Now i don’t have to rely on some one else or go ask a whole bunch of people “oh is that right” I will just know myself and i won’t even need a whole bunch of english quran i’ve got a mini one in myself
Allahmdullah!!!!

Today I had a feeling about myself.That I’m not even a dot on the earth and i think i’m all that.It’s TRUE!Finally and Alhamdulillah I understand were NOTHING compared to allah and his creation.We only know about 1% of the creation and 99% we haven’t even discovered YET.If your into movies these days, then watch Harun Yahya’s video(about creation) and you’ll understand better.I’ll be back soon to tell you more!

My Journey Towards Light
My journey with the Quran started on 10th Sept 07. So many questions wondered about in my mind before entering the world of light. And following days, I was given the answer of each question. Before learning Quran I thought that I know just a little bit of what Allah wants from me. But Alhumdulilah now my life has been totally changed. Submitting to the Almighty was something that I know but practically feeling it was really a different matter. It seems to me now that I am just familiar with a single ray of light after completing the first Juz, and I have started feeling the thirst in myself for the Quran.
It seems like I was standing in the dark and now my eyes are wide open to see and seek from this light. Everyday my vision gets clearer and clearer. My purposes of life have become submission to Allah and seek guidance from the Quran. As it has been stated in the Quran:
“Allah’s guidance is the only guidance” (V.120 AlBakarah)

By starting the beginning of another surah it felt as though we had just started our journey. I was thinking “its going by so fast”. It made me realize how fast time had gone by, it seemed like yesterday we had just begun. Allahumdulillah I am enjoying it alot more now and am also improving with time.
Wasalam.
