The Only Way of Life
Asalamu'alaikum - Peace be With You...
We are living in trying times. We are all looking for answers and guidance. No matter where we are from, no matter what we look like, no matter our creed, we are all collectively struggling to find footing in a world that is seeing unprecedented change and rapid growth. We all seek balance, comfort, and happiness, but inherit discomfort, confusion, and sadness.
The idea of “The Only Way of Life” came about to give a divine perspective to the issues and questions that we all face. There is another choice. Islam presents a model of guidance and a road to contentment. The message of the Prophets (peace be upon them all) and the Qur’an are timeless and are as relevant today as they ever were.
After all, this is the Faith that brought the Believers out of the darkness into the light; making kings out of paupers and bringing tyrants to their knees.
Don’t you want to know how it could change your existence as well? Listen to The Only Way of Life Podcast today and find what you are seeking! Here, we will present an array of topics by different speakers from all walks of life. They will not only begin to open the mind to new possibilities, but also provide answers to those pressing issues.
We are grateful for your presence. Let us begin.

Al-Quran: Should It Be Read With Understanding? Lecture with Q & A Session
The Holy Qur’an is the final revelation of Allah – a proclamation to all of humanity. It is full of wisdom, a warning to the heedless, a solace to the suffering, and a hope to those in despair. In short, The Holy Qur’an is guidance for all of mankind. Now ask yourself a question: is it possible to derive all these blessings and insights from the Qur’an without actually understanding the meaning or implementing its rulings? Yet this is the position of so many Muslims today. Dr. Zakir Naik explains why it is compulsory for mankind to read the Qur’an with understanding. “And…

The Story of The Bull
Dividing and Conquering the Muslim lands; the speaker discusses this political phenomenon with a simple parable from the Sunnah, of a lion that cunningly divides and devours three bulls. The bulls remained too much of a meal for the lion while they held together, defending each others backs. The lion thus adopted the art of deceiving, thus causing the bulls to fall into suspicion and apathy, dividing their strength, rendering them useless against the bitter bite of the enemy. Allah (swt) says: And hold firmly to the rope of Allah all together and do not become divided. [The Noble Quran, 3:103] …

Understanding the Quran
Mere decorations and occasional recitation upon the death of a family member are just some of the ways that the use and purpose of the Qur’an has been misconstrued. Sheikh Anwar Al-Awlaki explains and reminds the listener of the true purpose for the Quran‘s revelation. The Sheikh looks at examples such as Ibn Umar taking 14 years to memorize Surah Baqarah, whereas nowadays it could take as little as a few months. Why the discrepancy? It was due to their application of each ayat before moving on to another. One must remember to ponder, reflect and understand the Quran properly,…

Devil’s Trap
We all love our children, Alhamdulillah. We only want what is best for them and Shaytan (May Allah curse him) knows this. He is a very patient hunter who is so conniving that his prey is clueless to his grand scheme. He makes us believe at times that the things we do for our children, so they feel included and not lacking, are exactly what will make them healthy and well-rounded individuals. This is his delusion. He traps us in this web of deception where everything appears acceptable on the surface, but the darkness that lingers just underneath is both frightening and…

Is the Qur’an God’s Word? – Full Lecture
Islam is not the name of some unique religion presented for the first time by Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) who should, on that account be called the founder of Islam. The Qur’an was preserved word for word so that it should be a source of guidance for all times.
