(Copied and Pasted from my previous site)
I once overheard a Youtube video of Nouman Ali Khan preaching. In the video he was speaking about the story of Prophet Musa (also known as Moses.) He said how Moses went to the mountain alone one day and heard God speak to him. He added a humane effect to Moses by making him a relatable character. He asked the audience “imagine you heard voices in the dark, imagine the fright you’d feel” then went on to bring up how he pulls pranks on his students, relatives, children etc. (Of course, the preacher we can all relate to right?) Nouman then brought this attention back to Moses and said he too felt fear, but it was God revealing himself; saying “I alone should be worshiped, become my slave, I am your owner” among other important details.
He utilized his signature technique: he told the story in a way that the audience can relate to it. He spoke about the idea of being star struck when we see a celebrity; feelings that even he has when he meets with preachers he’s a fan of. He then said “imagine you were speaking with Allah, the creator of the entire universe.”
So one of the key points of telling this story is how marvelous the Experience of Moses, a human being like you and me, is for having been introduced to God that way. He would leave his family to go to the mountains to talk to God. Click to keep on reading!
