I became a Muslim when I was 18 (March 10th of 2017) and in all honesty, I wasn’t the best Muslim I could have been from then on until now. I believed it was and is the one and only truth, but couldn’t always act upon it. I was still heavily involved in street culture which conflicted a lot. But at this moment in time - at 21 years old - I feel so encouraged to become the (Muslim) man I want and need to be for myself and my future family. I just wanted to share this because I feel very connected to Sh. Mikhaeel’s story. Thank you for your story on here! May Allah bless you and whoever reads this.
J. Alhamdu lillah ..be strong my brother yes you face alot of challenges but pray to Allah and ask him alot for guidence and strength watch videos of converted people and Seera it will inspire you...our prayer and love with you🙏💕
May Allah bless you akhi. Big link In Firdaous Insha Allah

Beauuuuuuuuuuuuuuuutiful!!!! Maa sha Allah, Tabaarakallah!
I love you all, brothers.
All Egyptians pray for Allah to bless your efforts.
Happy to meet Sh Mikaeel Smith personally in Mansfield Masjid Arlington Texas.
One of the most greatest podcast i'v ever listened to , as a born and raised muslim Arabic girl , I did feel each word said by Sheikh Mikaeel about emotions and its impact on Nafs , I get used to hear since my childhood that Allah is mainly resumed in Halal and Haram , pray God to enter paradise , do many numbers of Adhkar to increase your hasanat etc etc as if it's a computer as Sheikh Mikaeel mentioned , emotions were absent and still but what's sad that when I grew up now I got lost .. because I got confused about many concepts but I'm looking for the truth and I'm sure that Allah is worth that journey ..
Allah loved repentance dear
Amazing mashallah
I am going to try to interact emotionally more often now, especially with family In Sha Allah
Amazing lecture. This subject needs to be inserted into dawah courses.
This video is a eye opener. Alhamdullilah.
و عليكم السلام و رحمة الله وبركاته

Can you extend the podcast to a 2 hour long format, think you may be underestimating the length of our attention spans.
This episode is underwatched!
Excellent.. No words
This episode is truly amazing! Very inspired by Sheikh Mikaeel Smith! May ALLAH grant both the Sheikh and brother Musa Jannatul Firdaus.. Aameen!
He is so intelligent. Alhamdulillah.
Good podcast. Jazakallahu khairan
Alhamdulillah got the book .
If you know Arabic, Urdu and English your knowledge about Islam will be sky rocking... After Arabic best book about teachings of Islam is written in Urdu.
God is Great. Thank you guys for this podcast it really helps connect more with Allah
Just purchased the book alx! Loved this podcast so much because it made me realize there’s more to life! Mashallah!! So many things out there we aren’t aware of subhanallah. May Allah guide us all and grant us jannah ameen!
Man said "Let the Quran do it's dawah"
Fam when I heard that it hit me like a ton of bricks sheesh
One word-BEAUTIFUL...
Barak Allahu feekum
I don't know why it took me so long to watch this episode.. Wow it is so good algamdulilah amazing..
What a beautiful episode. I strongly believe this episode needs to be revisited every now and then. May Allah SWT bless us with the ability to follow our beloved Prophet SAW in every walks of our lives. Ameen!
Assalaamu alaykum. Absolutely loved this talk. Very interesting and informative. A great motivational speaker MashaAllah. JazakAllahu khairan.
It was a nice talk( I have ordered/bought it not sure how long will it take to reach to me in Australia). thanks and Barak Allah fi
MashAllah beautiful message. Can’t wait to read the book. JAK
Best podcast I've heard.. alhamdulillah
Sh's podcast compelled me to get his book! Am reading and doing a book summary. Really excited.
Very instructive, in the thick of it. May Allah bless both of you.I'd like to get the book I m in Sierra Leone, what's the easiest way please ? Also I d like to share a matter about someone who was born in a Muslim family here, but reverted to Christianity because he was asked to practice the religion in Arabic a thing that he couldn't perform. He was ashamed of his incapacity, especially that he was asked to guide a jamea in a mosque when the imam was absent and he couldn't. He was such embarrassed that he became Christian and he is a preacher actually...what I did is that I gave him right, saying that it is evident that he would like to practice a religion that he understands and asked him to read the Quran in English assuring that it's not a sin to do so...this was 3 days ago, inchaAllah he will be guided although it seems difficult as he is an influential preacher in his community...Rabbi Kbir. Do you have any advice you want me to transmit to him ? Baraka Allahou Fikom.
Keep on guiding him Akhi
12:53 totally agree 💯
Going to look into Qallam institute In Shaa Allah
very2 informative and eye opening podcast 💞💞 jazakallah

❤❤❤❤
I'm from the Buff. Wouldn't mind meeting my fellow Buffalonian.
0:10 His Urdu is so endearing! :D
As Salamu Alaykum 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈
جزاك اللهُ خيرا for this podcast...Can you do a podcast on how to connect with teenagers using emotional intelligence
This is some of what he mentioned: The Prophet, salla Allahu alayhi wa sallam said Allah has certain chosen friends. "People who love by the spirit of God". Imam al Khatabi said: "He (the Prophet (salla Allahu alayhi wa sallam), invokes the spirit because it's what brought life to the children of Adam, and just like the spirit brought life to people, love brings life to people". (From Suhaib Webb's IGTV).
12:45 The same has been done to Maulana Jalaluddin Rumi. Whatever he said was islamic thinking, but today people his think of him as a secular human being, without any deen, and they take his poetry out if context, which is purely wrong. He was a muslim and a maulana, and whatever he said was according to Islam.
السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته
i want to convert to Islam but my religion tells me that if I believe something else, i will go to hell, so am I taking a big risk by converting to Islam!!
@Andrew Ortiz, the biggest mistake you can make is, that you don't accept Islam! Don't fear no body and nothing and declare the real faith of truth islam, your heart know it's the Truth! take the path and trust Allah ask him to guide and help you!
Research Islam study and trust your gut feeling bro!
When will the book be available in the UK?
Masha allaah Alhamdulillah subhaana allaah i would like to ask sheikh what is the name of the book please?
@iERA Assalaamu alaykum... do you know when the Sheikh's book will be coming out on Kindle? I personally prefer digital copies because I find it easier to navigate and search for specific topics...
Jazaak Allahu khairan
I wish you translated the urdu
The brother basically said he understands urdu but faces some difficulty when speaking it
What does ambiyah mean?
@shana ruk , Anbiya means= Prophets - Plural from Nabee= Prophet
Oguz Ibn Halil thankyou!
36:00
Aata hai jata ni but isnt he great he learnt arabic urdu memorized whole Quran and here we...........
sheikh urdo is better than Pathan as am Pathan. mashallha sheikh is great scholar. I would suggest learn Pashto too so Pathan could better understand.
He does speak urdu like a phataan :D
that guy was christian??? let me laugh .....he has not verified anything and he claimed..... someone comes a long and talk to him about another religion and he moves there... this could have been anything..Malcolm X...fake christian......the usual... so called christian converting ... let me laugh
I don't like to speak ill of Islamic content - but this guest was completely unwatchable. He glossed over his childhood like he'd never sinned, and consistently asked condescending questions to Musa as if he was smarter, older, or more experienced than he actually is. He also bragged about his accomplishments as if he'd done it all for the people; and not for Allah. (Though Allah knows best.)
iERA - If you want to inspire new and current Muslims....please bring people on that are willing to talk candidly about real life. Your episodes with Abdur Raheem Green and Yusha Evans were amazing. The ones with Instagram figures were okay; though some of them couldn't form a sentence. This was trash. Please be more selective. :)
You probably have a problem with the american slang and the way he talks. I dint find anything wrong with this brother.
