Feedback comments from previous participants on the Leadership Course:
Masha Allah, I have learnt so much positive methods to manage my life! I am so glad that Allah SWT gave me the opportunity to attend. About the trainer - Very nice man, Masha Allah. Very articulate speaker and knowledgeable. Good, positive presence. Sarah Haberfield, Bristol
“Been on several previous talk on this subject but this one in particular was very good as it was one with an Islamic perspective” “excellent, right balance between speaker and audience participation” Dr Imtiaz A. Patel, Dentist
“Relaxed environment able to air/share views easily” “Very approachable – very good” Raheel Baig, Community Services Officer, Sheffield City Council
As a young Muslim student venturing into the career world, I found the course offered by Aksaa Ltd. on 6 Feb 2011, Leadership and Management from an Islamic perspective, to be extremely useful and informative. Going beyond simple leadership training, it explored how to put theory into practice while consistently linking established and recent findings of management theory to the prophetic example, familiar to all Muslims. The course leader, Kauthar Tai, was confident, inspiring and engaging, equally well-versed in contemporary management theory and the Islamic tradition.

How to be Grateful
Ive always wondered how to thank Allah subhanahou wata'ala.
I knew all about how to ask for forgiveness and how it was quite a process, but i thought, "what about thanking Allah?" saying Alhamdoulillah surely couldnt be enough? wasn't there a set pattern? something specific to do?
then i found this video. and i'm so glad i did. (its less than 2 mins, dont be scared...)
It does seem a lot harder, a lot more complicated. and a more constant thing. But after reflecting, we have a lot more to be grateful for.
War against Islam
Forgive me if i am wrong but to me it looks like alot of the world is in a war against Islam and i don't know why. Are they afraid, do they just hate muslims or is it something else?
Why is there war, occupations or interventions in Muslim countries e.g. Palestine, Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan etc.
Why are there bans on the Burkha in France?
This is just the recent activity i am seeing, this has been going on for centuries.
What i want to know is why they are doing this, i mean is there a reasonable explanation for all of this?
The other thing i wanted to know is if we as muslims in the UK and other surrounding countries where we are free to practice Islam have a duty towards our fellow muslims in these suffering countries?
I have heard some muslims saying what happens in these other parts of the world doesn't affect us and that we cannot do anything about it. Is that a correct way of thinking or should we be showing solidarity for our muslim bretherin?
Just like the war on Islam didn't start all of a sudden, it started off slowly and it grew. I think that in that same way we muslims should start to reunite slowly and then insha allah it will grow and we will be able defend ourselves and fight for our values once more.
May Allah guide us all. Ameen
Practicing Made Easy
hi omg i just had a thought when i was writing something
i have prayed in the past for Allah (swt) to help me become a better muslim.
and recently i keep having alot of thoughts to do with islam and right and wrong and the hereafter and the future and judgement day and soooo much and when i have these thoughts it actually feels soooo real.
it makes me want to be a better muslim and i mean a good muslim (ashamed to say im not that good). but i still find it hard when it should be easy for me by now.
has anyone got any tips on how they started praying 5 times a day or embraced islam properly? (as in not getting distracted with things that are wrong).
p.s another thought im having right now is
WAKE UP MUSLIMS
Assalamua alaikum brothers and sister. pleas log on to this site as it could be a great asset to the muslims in the revival of islam, jazakalla khair. http://www.wakeupmuslims.co.uk/
Situations
im at work at the moment.
At work everythings usually ok and everyones friendly
but there is this guy who isn't muslim and all he ever tries to do is make me convert to christianity.
hes also predicted i will turn christian by february 2012
help me people how do i shut him up?
and he never lets me talk and is always on about how jesus is god and how he has the power of jesus in him bla bla bla
when i mention the fact that Jesus (Isa) peace be upon him was a prophet he gets angry and defencive. he's a nice person overall and i dont want to have a fall out with him but how do i get him to understand islam and what do i say to him?....HELP!
It's time for the Muslim youth to stand up and show the real Islam to the world!!!!
We live in a time where Muslim women are ashamed to put on their headscarves and Muslim men think it's better to have the "smooth" look than to let their beards grow. The world is so full of temptations and desires that it has become difficult for us to follow the right path. In other words, life as a PRACTISING Muslim can be pretty hard. But the question that remains is - "Are we REALLY striving for the cause of Allah??" Agreed that the name of islam has been tarnished by the media and the like, but that gives us no reason not to stand up for our Islam and defend our beautiful religion. " I wont' fit in " or " What if no one wants to be friends with me? " are thoughts that probably cross our minds when we think about following Islam.
