AN INTERVIEW WITH MS GUL ZEBA

He told me that both books were written by an Indian scholar. That was the first time I was introduced to Maulana Wahiduddin Khan and his work. The titles of the books amazed me. I was taken away by Allah-uAkbar and how God is expressed in such a wonderful way. Raz-e-Hayat truly showed me a pathway through the obstacles I was facing in my life at the time. Both these books helped me in the Quran course I was taking at Al-Huda International. Kindly describe your first meeting with Maulana. My first meeting with Maulana was in 2010 when he visited the USA with his CPS Delhi team. Listening to him face to face, I realized how simple he was. There was much opportunity for interaction as well. He asked me about the CPS mission. He visited Maryland to attend programmes that we had coordinated. Many people here met him. My husband was amazed by his simplicity. How did Maulana help you to connect with God and understand His Creation Plan? Studying Maulana’s books, the Urdu periodical Al-Risala, and listening to his lectures have expanded my thinking capabilities and helped me come to the conclusion that in order to understand your life and path, you need to know God’s creation plan. From his books, I have a deeper understanding and appreciation for God’s creation plan. How did Maulana influence you? Maulana influenced me through his own deep study of God and the Quran, resulting in his discovery of God. It has truly influenced me because I know that I too can do the same. Kindly share the most inspiring teaching of Maulana. The most inspiring teaching of Maulana for me has been to find positivity in the most negative situations. What inspired you to devote yourself wholly to the CPS mission? God’s discovery has inspired me to devote myself to this mission. God is the One I have to answer to and He is the One I want to please. Kindly share some responses of people to whom you gift copies of the Quran. Generally, the responses I have received upon giving out the Quran have been positive and appreciative. People express amazement that
