Paradoxically, fajr is actually, most of the time, the prayer in which I'm the most concentrated. Especially when I don't let myself wake up entirely. Since I'm not fully awake, the unstoppable and considerable flow of thoughts that I usually have do not have the time to come to mind. So I find myself hearing my prayer pretty clearly. Good feeling.
thank you. growing up as a muslim and being told that i have to pray or else i go to hell doesnt motivate me to pray at all. but you explain this so beautifully "leave this earth 5 times a day with praying" i didn’t know i need to hear that. i will try to fix my shalat
I've heard things like this too like if you leave a prayer you're officially a non-believer and you'll go to hell, and the thing about it is that prayer loses its beauty and purpose if we do it just because we MUST do it. It wasn't "pray or else you'll go to hell" that made me pray, but "prayer is a gift. It teaches us patience, discipline, and focus. It's our connection with our Creator. It's our healing and rest".
At 18:40 when you’re talking about how the start of adhan means “Allah is greater” just gives me a whole new outlook, so for that I thank you for that. الحمدالله ❤️❤️
The part where you clarified “Allah is greater” is so eye opening. I had such an epiphany listening to that like the call is a gentle remainder of the ephemeral nature of this world and pulls us back into the spiritual state that we all originally came from.
Please, please, please, just PLEASE don‘t stop posting this videos! I saw your first podcast (giving something up for the sake of Allah) 3 weeks ago and it hitted me so damn hard. Last year i had the most destroying events of my life but Alhamdulillah they were the reason why i found back to my Lord Allah swt. At that time i had so much pain inside my chest and heart, that prayer was the only reason why i could stay alive. But now, since a couple of month, since everything is good again, i just lost my discipline and patience whilst praying and sometimes i don‘t pray at all and that makes me so sad cause i know hoooow important it is for me and my relationship with Allah. I‘m trying so so hard to get my iman again to the level where i was just in an other world whilst praying, like you also said. My current situation reminds me of Surah Az-Zumar 8: ''When one is touched with hardship, they cry out to their Lord, turning to Him ˹alone˺. But as soon as He showers them with blessings from Him, they ˹totally˺ forget the One they had cried to earlier, and set up equals to Allah to mislead ˹others˺ from His Way.'' So yes, i forgot my Lord. I forgot how he helped me through all that indescribably heartbreaking nights and how he held me alive. And that‘s a big, really big shame on me as a muslim. But i‘m really convinced that your podcast is a blessing from Allah for ALL of us. Not only muslims but also non-muslims who‘re trying to learn more about islam or maybe just want to be more spiritual idk. I always cry while listening to your words, because they remind me of how much more i could and should do for my Lord. How much i love him and how much i should invest in my prayer. Thank you so so so much for sharing your thought with us! May Allah swt bless you my sister
Please don’t be too hard on yourself. Allah swt sees your honest heart and that is the most important. Never give up ❤️ We all struggle sometimes. The most important is getting back up and continuing to praise Allah swt🙏🏽
Your giving up music video has come to my homepage when i was contemplating on quitting music and it just felt like a sign to see it in the same day yk. I really appreciate that episode and this was also a very important one aswell. I also struggle with focusing while praying and seeing someone else talk about these issues and similar experiences make me feel so much better about myself, so thank you sm farah. I hope you have a very nice day
I feel like prayer humbles us and reminds us of how minimal and worthless the things we chase in this finite life are, and we need to constantly remember that Allah is great
Believing in something, especially something greater outside of ourselves is so helpful for individuals when you need meaning and purpose in your life especially when things around you feel like they are falling apart. I love the way you present and how real and honest it is. I am also a very quirky and sometimes awkward person and absolutely love interacting with my fellow quirky people.
I’m the happiest person alive because I just finished your first episode like literally one minute ago and you just shared the next one I can relate to your words heavily and you beautifully express what i never could form in even one sentence am on tears!!!. May god bless you I happily subscribed and can’t wait to watch more of your videos allahum barek lha😭🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍
Please dont stop doing this, youre helping me A LOT, im so grateful i came across your funny vids as i have always felt the good vibes youre bringing, i adore how brave are you how transparent are you, bcos of that i have never feel alone anymore, your true and honest words and message feels comfortable and relaxing, imma looking forward for more
Yes! If we revolve our day around salah and not try to fit salah into our day, it makes it a little easier to manage and helps us prioritize what we should aim to be important to us. And it may seem like burden but overtime, we can see how taking the time 5 times a day to pause and renew our purpose can do so much for our heart, mind and soul
It’s interesting to know that all this time the call to prayer wasn’t saying “Allah is greatest” but that “Allah is greatER”, that totally changed my perspective on life and prayer, bc the next time I find myself deeply engrained within a worldly task and then suddenly hear the call to prayer, I’ll have a better time understanding which task is more important (and that is definitely God/praying).
Farah, you're a star. I've recently started watching your video and probably it's my 2nd one but i can say one thing for sure that you are the most amazing Muslim TH-camrs especially in females I came across. Your way of talking and happy-go-lucky style makes it a treat to watch. May Allah keep you firm on Deen and grant all of us the better understanding of it.
Mashaallah Farah. I am so glad I have discovered you on social media. I think this is the best thing about it, just to find like minded people we can relate to, normal humans, diverse, who just happen to be in a different stage of their journey (spiritual or generally speaking). That we all have, to a certain extent the ability to help each other out, in our own journeys, by sharing our thoughts, our knowledge, or our research. These are the real conversations we need to have nowadays instead of always talking about futile things, or gossip, that in the end, bring nothing to us. Thank you for your podcasts. I am a muslim, I really like to hear from others, and their ideas. And I think it's great that you have sort of (virtually) gathered us to this conversation. (I don't know if it makes sense xD)
Alhamdulillah 🤲 BarakAllah for these beautiful videos and having to know of you in my breathing years Allah tends to make us so happy if we only knew of how much He loves us
I also really struggle with prayer especially since I only started praying daily recently and something that really helps me especially as a non arabic speaking muslim is thinking about the meaning of the words I'm saying Anyways I really like your podcast, you're doing such a good job and helping both muslims and non muslims
as long as I can rememper I have struggled with Fajr prayer to the point I no longer tried to wake up for Fajr and I made up so many excuses like I have school or I have college, but when I made the decision to commit myself to Allah and to be a Muslim in heart and action not just in the name Allah lead to me to a quote from a book it roughly said that we remodel and design our lives for various things be it collage or studying or family affairs and the list goes on and many people wish that fajer prayer was a little but late we want fajer prayer to align with our way of life but why don't we align and remodel our life for salah el fajr and it hit me so hard and since then I made it my goal to make my sleeping schedule fit salah el fajr even if I slept before it for one hour I will wake up on Fajr and stay awake and try to keep up to isha prayer then sleep and since then thanks to Allah Azza wa Jal I never looked back and now I can proudly say I never miss fajr prayer except two times that I didn't hear my alarm
Something in one of your points made me chuckle. It is true that some of the humans who decided that no higher being exists and there is no need for faith or any kind of spirituality and we are merely flesh and bone are some of the same ones who now are creating their own types of religion and rituals because they are seeking a sense of direction and inner peace. They run away only to come full circle and just give it a different name.
For some reason, I feel like you remind me of myself 20yrs ago, like the personality and facial expressions alhamdullah.... I do dhikr at tajjud time, it feels like meditation for me, I get soo much sakinah tranquility in my heart and soul from it. Forever wearing my burka
Love these videos, Farah! All relevant and of interest to this revert. The podcast on music was most pertinent. Am trying to give this up, and is the most difficult for me... And on top of this my son and I have tickets this summer to see one of our favourite bands: New Order. A sacrifice, for sure. Shukran!
Very beneficial video. Usually when I pray my salah I try imagine standing in front of Allah and that Allah is watching me and also focusing on what I’m saying in my prayer May Allah always keep you sincere and protect you and your family ameen Jazakallah kheir looking forward to your videos inshallah
Hi Farah! TYSM for this episode. Please keep on doing them. I was thinking as you were talking about the call to prayer 🤲 maybe sometimes we think it is obligatory but when you were speaking about “Allah is Greater” I felt permission rather than obligation! Hope your day is going well!
I remember coming across your tiktoks (before I deleted the app) and they were sooo funny yet inspiring. so when I saw your video on quitting music come up on my recommendations, I immediately clicked on the video and a lot of the thoughts you expressed, I have been feeling as of recent. i think it can be really easy to fool yourself into justifying a sin, so seeing you be so honest about it was extremely inspiring. also, i know you joke about the low quality of your videos but I really like them! it feels like I'm listening to a friend speaking about the deen 🥰🥰 may Allah keep your heart firm on the religion
the moment you said when we pray physically we're here, but mentally we're in somewhere else. i remember, it happened to me back in 4th grade when it was the holy month of ramadhan. The thing is, i purely wanted to finish my shalat tarawih and witr in the masjid and i got so focused very very focus, leaving everything behind. I think, i close my eyes (didn't remember much did i close my eyes or not, and supposedly we shouldn't close our eyes when we shalat, cmiiw) because the imam was very beautiful when reciting the ayat. There was a long part of the letter with high notes, the moment i hear it. Everything around me suddenly becomes white and bright, it didnt hurt my eyes, a subtle light, i'm the only one standing with voice of the imam, there's no one behind me, in front of me, and besides me. Peace. MasyaAllah I felt so much peace in my heart, a weight in my heart that i dont know is lifted. After that I go home in peace, so much peace. Whenever I remember this, I'm craving for that peace. Never in my life i feel peace like that again. I still, am not a better muslim yet, but i know Allah always guide me to everything that can open my eyes for better understanding of Islam. and one of the way is from you. I hope you can do this constantly Farah! thankyouu! may Allah blessed you
Although this has been a struggel since forever but I'm sure we all have noticed that this issue of not focusing in prayer nowadays is much more difficult because of all the distractions of what's going on in social media and the ease of accessability to it, the constant scrolling whire loop.
Farah, you truly bring me joy. I just recently discovered your channel and I’m absolutely in love with who you are and what you say and what you do. Thank you sister.
I sooo agree that prayer which brings our attention to God is important for the spirit of every human being. And that it’s really strange to see people seeking out rituals like “5 am meditation” and manifestation that separate prayer from any and all religious traditions. For Catholics (and small “c” catholics!) who feel like they wanna pray five times a day like our Muslim brothers and sisters do, I suuuuper recommend our ancient tradition of the liturgy of the hours. 5 common hours for laypeople are the Office of Readings, Lauds, Sext, Vespers and Compline. If anything’s gonna inspire you do try this it’s this video lol- thanks Farah for your recommendations and good humor ❤
Awesome video!! The reflection of the obligation of prayers being a mercy for us made me emotional 🥹 Alhamdulillah, JazakAllah Khayr keep the videos coming !
I love your new content! I think that it is so beautiful how Allah has guided all of us and I appreciate you putting yourself out there and being awesome. May Allah reward you :)
Barak Allahou feek for sharing. As for the salah (prayer), its something as you said before, we need. We dearly and really need. Because without salah, we will be very lost. I think we all can speak from experience. And those prayers are also a reminder of our goal in this dunya which is the deen, the afterlife and pleasing Allah, our creator. Without that constant reminder we can easily fall into the worldy life and become miserable. Because us humans really forget fast. And always, alhamdulillah.
I am honestly in love with your content...like brooo it's so simple and pure...carryyyyy onnnn We need youuuuu... I request you to please create more stuff like this
No faraah just please going, hearing you talk about your struggles with religion is actually very relatable. Like listening to a scholar is great, you kinda feel that they are better muslims than you( i am sure they all have their struggles) What i mean is hearing someone my age, talking about quitting music and just coming to small conclusions about their religions is relatable. Hope that made sense😅 Plus i would love to just meet you and talk with you about life( i swear i am not a creep😅)
Hi farah, this is the second video from your channel that i watched and i really like this form of video, its like talking just to your normal friends. Thanks for these kinds of videos! keep it up
Hey Farah, i just want to say that i really enjoy watching your videos. Even though its a one way communication. Unfortunately i dont have people around me to talk about these topics. I live in a muslim country and majority of people around me are muslim too. But they do not care about these thoughts nor they want to have conversations about. Basically i am not in the same mindset with them and sometimes it gets lonely. So when i watch ur videos i feel understood and not so lonely :) So thank u, really
These ideas are so unique and significant.I used to wonder what was the reason of prayer apart from it being obligatory and I thought it was just for discipline but this gives it a much deeper meaning.Another thing is used to feel so guilty when i think about something else during prayer and thinking of it as a chore but knowing I'm not the only one made me feel a little better 🥲.Question though why do you think the times of prayers are spaced like that or why do we do it 5 times a day, wouldn't one or two times be enough?
Asalam alkium. It's a constant reminder of Allah ﷻ. They are never enough time can remember Allah ﷻ. Salah originally proposed 50 prayers instead of 5, but the Prophet Muhammed ﷺ asked Allah ﷻ to reduce it and Allah ﷻ made the 5 prayers equal to 50 prayers. Before sunrise, during the early evening, late evening, and later evening, and one until late night. It helps guide our days, connect with Allah ﷻ constantly, and always remember our purpose as a priority.
okay i really need help with this i’ve been always wanting to get close to allah and pray but i couldn’t cuz in the past i use to pray and than stopped i don’t know why so please any give me advice i really need to get close with allah thank you
Dear Farah, I got something unfortunate couple hours ago because I delayed my Ashr. Now that you posted this video, masyaAllah. Thank you, jazakillah sister❤
Prayer is your meeting time with God, where you leave this world behind and put your focus on God first. 5 times a day, you should be happy and excited to meet with Allah 5 times a day and leave the dunya behind. You mentioned that maybe only when your sad or depressed or down, you'd want to pray, otherwise it's hard to leave whatever your task is. But you should want to meet Allah in prayer in every state you are in, even when you're not just sad or need that help. We always need God, even when happy. Especially then, we need to remember God. I am and constantly work on continuing to WANT to pray Alhamdulilah. Be excited for that meeting. Allah is greater. God gave us prayer as a mercy, prayer is for us, we need it alhamdulilah
17:00 it called Comparative it is like when one says " He is greater.." >and mostly it requires the "than " to compare with something. However, Allah SWT generalizes that to include each and every thing you're doing or thinking of in life.
"For a prayer to be obligatory,you have no idea what kind of mercy it is"
Paradoxically, fajr is actually, most of the time, the prayer in which I'm the most concentrated. Especially when I don't let myself wake up entirely. Since I'm not fully awake, the unstoppable and considerable flow of thoughts that I usually have do not have the time to come to mind. So I find myself hearing my prayer pretty clearly. Good feeling.
thank you. growing up as a muslim and being told that i have to pray or else i go to hell doesnt motivate me to pray at all. but you explain this so beautifully "leave this earth 5 times a day with praying" i didn’t know i need to hear that. i will try to fix my shalat
I've heard things like this too like if you leave a prayer you're officially a non-believer and you'll go to hell, and the thing about it is that prayer loses its beauty and purpose if we do it just because we MUST do it.

Salah bro
@@mahario7835 sorry i used my native language there but yes i meant salah
U can say prayer lmao but yes Salah is better
At 18:40 when you’re talking about how the start of adhan means “Allah is greater” just gives me a whole new outlook, so for that I thank you for that. الحمدالله ❤️❤️
The part where you clarified “Allah is greater” is so eye opening. I had such an epiphany listening to that like the call is a gentle remainder of the ephemeral nature of this world and pulls us back into the spiritual state that we all originally came from.
Low cost production, but high quality content. We love the content, that’s what matters. 🙏🏽
the way you convey your message and express your emotions is so beautiful
Please, please, please, just PLEASE don‘t stop posting this videos! I saw your first podcast (giving something up for the sake of Allah) 3 weeks ago and it hitted me so damn hard.
Last year i had the most destroying events of my life but Alhamdulillah they were the reason why i found back to my Lord Allah swt.
At that time i had so much pain inside my chest and heart, that prayer was the only reason why i could stay alive.
But now, since a couple of month, since everything is good again, i just lost my discipline and patience whilst praying and sometimes i don‘t pray at all and that makes me so sad cause i know hoooow important it is for me and my relationship with Allah. I‘m trying so so hard to get my iman again to the level where i was just in an other world whilst praying, like you also said.

May allah the almighty help you with ur journey dear friend!❤
This video also came to me as I’m struggling to pray, may Allah bless her
I swear to god same thing happens to me
Or 7 Times a day with Witr-prayer after ishaa like our Prophet saw. did and TR tahajjud bevor fajr
I am not a muslim but your videos are really beneficial to me as well, thank you for this !
@user-zu7me8or3xThis is not how you give dawah
@user-zu7me8or3xBe a little less forcing. Right intentions, wrong construction of words.
I feel like prayer humbles us and reminds us of how minimal and worthless the things we chase in this finite life are, and we need to constantly remember that Allah is great
Can we talk about how much farah has improved? She fr went from very chaotic podcasts to organised and mature alhamdulillah
thank you for such an authentic reminder i needed! i was feeling down but your simple words of truth and jokes made me feel lighter✨
Next video should be on "how important it is to gain knowledge to strength our iman " ❤
Beautiful and important topic
Such a brilliant idea!

It's a comparative, He is greater (than whatever I'm doing now). I'm an atheist, and I absolutely love your videos. Can you believe that!?!

What a beautiful way of describing prayer, I’ve never thought of it that way ❤️
I also really struggle with prayer especially since I only started praying daily recently and something that really helps me especially as a non arabic speaking muslim is thinking about the meaning of the words I'm saying

And on top of this my son and I have tickets this summer to see one of our favourite bands: New Order. A sacrifice, for sure. Shukran!
I love the fact that your videos aren't 'top quality' and aesthetic and stuff. It's so real and really brings me foen to earth and feels less curated.
Very beneficial video.
Usually when I pray my salah I try imagine standing in front of Allah and that Allah is watching me and also focusing on what I’m saying in my prayer
May Allah always keep you sincere and protect you and your family ameen
Jazakallah kheir looking forward to your videos inshallah

JazakiAllahu Khairan
Thankyou so much for making me feel like home here. it's nice to have a sister I can relate to. you are literally speaking my heart rn.
you. are. awesome. I think this podcast is soo beneficial and helpful ❤️

I haven't even listened yet. Just wanted to say 🎉 for the title. I'm Christian but this is spot on. 😊Just such a great description.
Farah, you truly bring me joy. I just recently discovered your channel and I’m absolutely in love with who you are and what you say and what you do. Thank you sister.
26:56 this is so good.
Thank you for blessing us with another beautiful podcast Farah✨
Beautifully said, In every pray you never come back to the same world.
I sooo agree that prayer which brings our attention to God is important for the spirit of every human being.

Hey, just found you randomly, and "wanted to put this out" that i Love you girl, literally the elder sister i wanted ❤
Mashallah sister thank you you really motivated me to get back to prayer alhamdulliah❤
U make a difference in your life and certainly others
You have no idea how much I’m loving these podcasts , NEVER stop posting podcasts ,
Much love
Sending so much duas for this content
Awesome video!! The reflection of the obligation of prayers being a mercy for us made me emotional 🥹 Alhamdulillah, JazakAllah Khayr keep the videos coming !
Low cost production, I love it❤ Authentic & focus on the message (contrary to so much of the content out there)
Yup agree. Keeping it the way it is refreshing when compared to more polished ones
I love your channel we have to unplug and lean on God. Am Christian and love to see more videos. Love you. ❤❤
I love your new content! I think that it is so beautiful how Allah has guided all of us and I appreciate you putting yourself out there and being awesome. May Allah reward you :)
Barak Allahou feek for sharing. As for the salah (prayer), its something as you said before, we need. We dearly and really need. Because without salah, we will be very lost. I think we all can speak from experience. And those prayers are also a reminder of our goal in this dunya which is the deen, the afterlife and pleasing Allah, our creator. Without that constant reminder we can easily fall into the worldy life and become miserable. Because us humans really forget fast. And always, alhamdulillah.
Thanks Farah ❤
agree alot more people need to practice spirituality, they are all distracted by the wrong things.
i LOVE these sincere talks you do but i am looking forward to much to seeing more, thank you!
WOWWW…….no words FARAH!!! This was just WOWW🤌🏻😵😫🫶🏻‼️
I am honestly in love with your content...like brooo it's so simple and pure...carryyyyy onnnn
We need youuuuu...
I request you to please create more stuff like this
No faraah just please going, hearing you talk about your struggles with religion is actually very relatable.
Like listening to a scholar is great, you kinda feel that they are better muslims than you( i am sure they all have their struggles)
What i mean is hearing someone my age, talking about quitting music and just coming to small conclusions about their religions is relatable. Hope that made sense😅
Plus i would love to just meet you and talk with you about life( i swear i am not a creep😅)
it's the way this showed up on my page at the perfect time. Thank you for this.
I just watched this twice in a row… I could legit listen to you talk for so long
I actually love the “low cost production!” Lol because it kinda feels like talking to a friend or listening to friends advice on Islam!
My favourite
Hi farah, this is the second video from your channel that i watched and i really like this form of video, its like talking just to your normal friends. Thanks for these kinds of videos! keep it up
May Allah bless you with the best in both worlds. Ameen. ❤️
Love you thanks
Alhamdulillah
Godd I loveee this girrllll
Hey Farah, i just want to say that i really enjoy watching your videos. Even though its a one way communication. Unfortunately i dont have people around me to talk about these topics. I live in a muslim country and majority of people around me are muslim too. But they do not care about these thoughts nor they want to have conversations about. Basically i am not in the same mindset with them and sometimes it gets lonely. So when i watch ur videos i feel understood and not so lonely :) So thank u, really
this somehow changed my perspective on prayers! thank u
These ideas are so unique and significant.I used to wonder what was the reason of prayer apart from it being obligatory and I thought it was just for discipline but this gives it a much deeper meaning.Another thing is used to feel so guilty when i think about something else during prayer and thinking of it as a chore but knowing I'm not the only one made me feel a little better 🥲.Question though why do you think the times of prayers are spaced like that or why do we do it 5 times a day, wouldn't one or two times be enough?
Asalam alkium.
It's a constant reminder of Allah ﷻ. They are never enough time can remember Allah ﷻ. Salah originally proposed 50 prayers instead of 5, but the Prophet Muhammed ﷺ asked Allah ﷻ to reduce it and Allah ﷻ made the 5 prayers equal to 50 prayers.
Before sunrise, during the early evening, late evening, and later evening, and one until late night. It helps guide our days, connect with Allah ﷻ constantly, and always remember our purpose as a priority.
JAZAK ALLAH giirl ❤😢
This is one of the most wonderful videos I’ve watched on TH-cam, thanks Farah! Alhamdulillah.

Dear Farah, I got something unfortunate couple hours ago because I delayed my Ashr. Now that you posted this video, masyaAllah. Thank you, jazakillah sister❤

شكرا.
Farah. Salah is the exact opposite of meditation. Do the exercise of making the comparison to get your mind boom.
I just want to say that I truly love you and I love your content ♡ keep it going Farah. You are doing good !
I love these so much ❤ looking forward to the next one
Prayer is your meeting time with God, where you leave this world behind and put your focus on God first. 5 times a day, you should be happy and excited to meet with Allah 5 times a day and leave the dunya behind. You mentioned that maybe only when your sad or depressed or down, you'd want to pray, otherwise it's hard to leave whatever your task is. But you should want to meet Allah in prayer in every state you are in, even when you're not just sad or need that help. We always need God, even when happy. Especially then, we need to remember God. I am and constantly work on continuing to WANT to pray Alhamdulilah. Be excited for that meeting. Allah is greater. God gave us prayer as a mercy, prayer is for us, we need it alhamdulilah
17:00 it called Comparative it is like when one says " He is greater.." >and mostly it requires the "than " to compare with something. However, Allah SWT generalizes that to include each and every thing you're doing or thinking of in life.
Thank you for this beautiful message, you are a breath of fresh air. May Allah swt reward you immensely my dear sister
