Many of the sentences you mentioned in the video are full of hope, like how God will never put you in a place that isn’t meant for you, and He won’t give you more than you can handle. Everything a person goes through is destined and written by God with precision. As for the things that are no longer beneficial, it’s because you’ve taken all the good out of them, and they’ve become a part of life, like a routine - and that’s a good thing. You’re right, it’s hard to explain exactly what someone is thinking, but your idea was clear. Thank you, Hamza. May God bless you!🤍🤍🤍
You explained exactly what I wanted to say with this video. I'm afraid my message wasn't clear enough but your comment definitely explains it better than I did SubhanAllah. May Allah bless you too 💚
@@LorenzoHamza well that's ok, I feel myself resonate more with you cuz I am too like that, but if you had not spoken your thoughts then she wouldn't be able to comment it out.... May Allah bless all of us, make our paths to Jannah easier no matter how hard and answer all our duas and help us be the best versions of ourselves.
yes, its something like remembering a surah completely and sometimes in prayers forgetting its whole meaning but still uttering it. If you have already internalized* the surah and applied it in your life its fine for it to be like that
I just clicked on the video because of the title. I don't even know the guy behind this channel. it's my first time coming across this channel but i'm truly amazed by Allah's timing. If the creator sees this comment, this is for you - I really needed to hear this and I understood your point! May Allah bless you immensely and give you strength and humility to share your knowledge and reflections!
i am suffering from depression and even though I do receive help, praying gives me the most comfort. I dont know why but every time I pray its like a huge stone is removed from my heart and I can finally breath. Islam is the best thing that happened to me Alhamdulilah!
Sister please listen to ruqiya and if you feel much better, try surah albaqarah. It might be black magic. Sadly alot of depression is caused by it. Mine turned out to be magic same for my friend.
Same, I just feel so calm after praying and all my feelings are washed away and I can't help but feel everything is okay. I hope you feel better, seek refuge with Allah [SWT] and I'm sure everything'll be alright 💖
What you said reminds me of a hadith The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, “Allah loves that when one of you does something, that they perfect it”. This Hadith is reported by al-Bayhaqi in Shu'ab al-Iman (4929) Allah loves Excellence of what we are doing, so anything you are doing right now try hard to make it perfect because this is what Allah wants you to do right now (even if you don't know what the output will be)
i once read somewhere ( "By living in your mind and stressing about the future and what might go wrong, you are actually facing the future without the kindness of Allah.") لما تقلق على المستقبل معناه انك قاعد تستقبله بدون لطف الله فيه
going through a phase in my life where i literally don’t know what to do in life.., im just putting my trust in Allah bc i’ve exhausted all means and currently trying to work towards something that i cannot see anyway this video felt like a lot like reassurance and hope so ty (also i just subscribed) may Allah bless you.
I completely understand how you feel. I posted a video a week ago talking about this exact problem, it's not easy to fix, but it's something that can be fixed with time inshaAllah. May Allah bless you too 💚
I am also in the same situation, i also used to watch lots of videos , whenever i was in a problem like how to discipline myself or how to be attentive those videos automatically pop up in my phone ,but now they don't help me exactly how the video explains , but i belief in Allah subhanahuwata'la's plan every thing has a purpose in our live🙂
This is the first comment i ever wrote...bcz i am on the verge of tears....i asked for a sign from Allah so desperately and i landed here...i don't know how to put my feelings in words but u said every single thing that i wanted to say for about an year it felt so suffocating to not being able to say what i wanted to...and then u said it ...not only that u gave solutions too..
Allahuakbar what a comment. I'm really glad Allah granted you this sign and that you finally have a clearer understanding of how your life is. It's not easy, but it's worth it to keep going and trusting Allah, may Allah bless you 💚
“ self improvement channels don’t know how to tell you that they don’t know what to tell you anymore “ 😮💨 that’s the truth! & a lot of the times it’s just the same repeated stuff. It definitely pushes you to put your full faith into Allah & Allah only & inshaAllah build that connection with Allah and fill that void that only Allah can fill. Great video! May Allah bless you.
This took me such a long time to realise Brother.. That one part at 3:10 in the video where you say this message, I'll be honest I had to replay that section about 5 times to truly understand what you meant lol. But this is so so true! May Allah bless you and guide you in your future endeavours my Brother. Ameen 🙏
ماشاءالله هذا الفيديو خلاني احس انه باقي الناس للحين فيها خير ، تفكيره ماشاء الله عميق ونادراً تشوف ناس تفكر كذا بعمق هالأيام . فا الله يوفقك ويثبتك ويارب تستمر تذكر الناس بالأشياء الجميلة عن الإسلام وعن ربي
Can't believe how relatable this is! I've also been in a similar situation. Just last month, I had enough motivation to do all my assignments quickly, read all materials, and help my friends studying. This motivation is somehow decreasing, and my physical condition is also deteriorating this whole week. I'm having final test projects, and I thought I should have been worrying about it. Strangely enough, I don't. This video tells me why 👍
I'm so glad someone feels this way Alhamdulillah. The important thing now is just to realize that you are meant to feel this way and so there's nothing to be worried about💚
I've been working on myself nonstop the past year. Now I'm just ready to relax, and honestly I don't know where I'm headed. At first I felt like I was being lazy again or slipping back into my bad habits, but I look around and Alhumdulillah Allah swt gave me so much. Now is the time to have tawakkul and keep walking, even if it is at a slower pace.
Loved how you recorded this video, sitting in beautiful nature, not speaking from a script, thinking on the moment not even adding cuts. That felt authentic! May Allah help you with whatever you're struggling through
I don't really like to talk about personal things in the comment sections, but these past couple of days I have been feeling that same exact feeling you described in the video perfectly well... As a Muslim, of course, there was that period of "grind" I had to get my deen shaped up high. Now that I have a year of highschool left I feel like I have no idea what to do, to successfully get to that "point in life," and I feel like the thought is negatively trying to bring me down. I thought I was the only one feeling this way when trying to watch those motivating Islamic videos to "bring my life together again." When I clicked on this video, I was shocked on how accurate you explained this feeling, and now I feel like I understand why everything that happens in life, big or small, has its purpose for us to have a good ending a bit better and why trusting in Allah at the start of your next chapter will get you higher. Jazakakuallahu Khairan Brother for this video.
I’m also in my last year of high school and I feel like I’m entering a new chapter, but I don’t know exactly what’s next. I try to remind myself there’s no point worrying about what Allah’s already written for me, only Dua can change fate.❤
Yes, I've definitely been feeling this way. I spent the past year trying to achieve a certain goal in every way possible. I exerted myself to the best of my abilities. I'm just burnt out now, and don't really have the same motivation to keep going. I keep thinking, this is my chance to do more, but I never build the momentum needed to actually do any more. I'm kind of in a resting period now, waiting for something to either reignite the fire, or guide me to the correct path. May Allah help us in our endeavors. Ameen
Beautifully put video, summarised my exact emotions and came as a reassurance. There are no concidences, Allah plans, and who is a better planner than Allah?
جزاكم الله خيرا I ask that Allāh increases you and your family in knowledge, acting upon it, excellence, barakah and obedience to Him. I ask that He gives you and your family steadfastness, health, sufficient preparation to enter His Abode, pondering of the Book of Allāh and the Sunnah and make your children the coolness of your eyes and leaders of the righteous. May He gather us in Al-Jannah as well as in the dunya.
Thank you for this video and for your kind words. I'm 22 and I remember when I was younger I used to watch self improvement and ted talks like crazy. while some were helpful, most just didn't really do anything for me but I was enjoying the freshness of the info at the time. after a while it just became repetitive and I didn't seem to change, the same problems persisted of demotivation, procrastination, perfectionism, and unfulfillment, combined with the lack of healthy and supportive relationships, It felt like I was pouring water in leaky bucket. I then realized that the issue was much deeper than I thought, and it's not that I'm just 'lazy'. and It's probably going to take a lot of time and inner work rather than tryna fix the outside. but I hope I will eventually find healing and peace. make dua for me everyone. jazakum Allah khairan
لا يكلف الله نفسا إلا وسعها Allah dose not bare a soul more than it can handle I have always known this sentence but listening to this video mad it click in my head that whatever you are going through means nothing because Allah has promised that you can overcome it this statement is a proof you have all it takes to get through anything.atm I am overwhelmed with gratitude at the idea that Allah believes that I can.I have never thought of it like this before and am so deeply grateful for everything I hope this makes sense
You described my current Situation so well, all my thoughts and doubts for the last few months, my hardships and struggles, my lowering Iman, my lost of discipline and motivation and exactly that thing about the self improvement videos… it’s like it all came together like a puzzle right now and as if Allah swt has led me to this video to understand what I am going through. Thank you so much for helping me to see the good in this situation and to understand
Somehow this is the first video explaining exactly how I feel. You have put my thoughts and emotions into words and Iam grateful for that. Beautifully explained. Thank you❤
My mom always says that Allah is always with us and if you feel lonely , dejected , hurtful it is آزمائش and allah subhanawatallah is testing you he surely has not given up on you just believe in him believe that he is watching you and you feel achieve success inshallah in life and اخرتفور he has chosen the best for you and no soul will be burdened to what they cannot bear . I hope this One beautiful thing called hope and love for Allah will always be sufficient in you dear brother and sisters and all pain shall pass
SubhanAllah, you have perfectly articulated how I have been feeling as of late. The sincerity and authenticity in your videos are beautiful, and truly a blessing from Allah. Jasakallahukaran for your words of wisdom 🤲☺️
Listening to Quran and Dhikr is the only thing that makes me able to survive and go to work Life with no clear vision and no tools to get what you may think would satisfy you is not easy I’m filled with sorrow about all I’ve been through and I think Allah is giving me the time to heal because I’ve changed and asked Allah for help Healing is way more better than burning out for nothing I remembered you from my Dua that may Allah keep you on the right path
Subhan Allah, I found this video at such a perfect time. I know exactly what you mean about feeling a lack of clarity and always sensed that it serves a greater purpose. Jazak Allahu khairan for the reminder and may Allah reward you!
THE TIMING OF THIS omg. This literally summed up my exact situation. Im in shock of how accurate this was for me. Subhanallah Allah used your video to reach out to so many individuals. Thanks for this.
bro, how can i thank you man. Allah has given you a mindset and skillset not many have. Please never stop doing this. May Allah grant you Al-firdaus and give you SOOO many blessings in this life and the next ♥
SubhanAllah. Good to know that there is someone with the same exact thoughts. Seeying Allah (SWT) in everything and this exact moment that led me to your message.❤🤲🏼
I completely get where you're coming from and I've been in the same boat too. Ever since I reverted (2 years ago), it felt so much more obvious what I was supposed to do and there were clear things I could do to improve my life but lately it feels like everything is coming to a standstill and I'm not really sure where the road goes from here, especially when it comes to my future. I think that's one of the biggest parts of reverting to Islam, that it's not just your lifestyle that changes but also your desires, likes/dislikes etc. The things I wanted just a few years ago, things I would have gone til the ends of the Earth for, I couldn't care less about anymore. And if you're living in a rat race, capitalist society (which most of us are), all of the "obvious" and "favourable" paths in life that everyone else is striving for just don't feel worth it anymore. I used to want a successful career and to make a lot of money and live an easy comfortable life, but now neither of things are important to me and I will easily trade them for my akhira (plus the realisation that we can plan all we want but in the end, it goes how Allah wants it to, and no matter what we do, we cannot escape tragedy and loss). You also start to realise that we're all running on limited time and whatever time you invest chasing this world, you're taking away the time you could have spent chasing the afterlife. Especially for someone like me because I always get stressed out about whether or not I'm making the right choices in life or whether or not I'm doing what Allah wants me to do, or if there are things that I could be doing better etc. But this was a good reminder to worry less about the state of your life, and worry more about the state of your heart. Our circumstances in life are entirely in Allah's hands so what we have/don't have or know/don't know doesn't matter. Our job is to watch over the state of our heart and make sure we're keeping our intentions pure and increasing our imaan. The rest will happen as it is and we should trust that Allah will give us something far better than we could have ever imagined for ourselves. May Allah help us all find our paths and may all those paths lead us closer to Him ❤
Ameen 💚 what a comment, I must say this, I feel exactly the same. I also reverted close to 2 years ago now and have no clue where my life is going. I agree especially with the part that you like that which you disliked and dislike that which you liked, but J feel as if some things still haven’t left me, inshaAllah with time they will go away if they’re bad for me. I myself don’t know if I really want to live a certain lifestyle if I ever get the opportunity too, it’s confusing yet so peaceful. May Allah help us 💚
I feel exactly the same. 3 years before this, I used to watch a lot of self improvement Islamic videos to become a better Muslim. But somehow within this year, I stopped watching it all because I felt that it doesn't serve me anymore. I don't know why, but I guess Allah wants me to explore a different set of skill or knowledge maybe to start a new chapter of my life such as parenting. Thank you for sharing this video. It made me not feel bad about myself for not listening to all the motivational Islamic videos anymore & that I am not alone experiencing the same thing as you do.
SubhanAllah, to hear such a comment is amazing. Parenting? to realize such a thing takes a massive amount of responsibility and commitment, so may Allah bless you for sharing your thoughts and may Allah bless you with righteous offspring and spouse 💚
is it a miracle when your video randomly popped up on my screen I clicked on it and heard everything you said which was very relatable to my current situation
The fact what you said is not just limited to religion but also real life made me realise that I need to work more towards what I want in the future even if it isn't clear!
This is such a helpful video. I was just trying to explain this to a friend. i never felt like it was understood. I just started to depend on Allah, and so this was so refreshing to see. Much needed.
Dear brother in Islam, so many of your words felt like a fresh, calming breeze to my anxious soul. Constantly worrying she's not doing good enough, always working hours upon hours as hard as she can in order to reach that goal of improvement. I know Allah is the one who gave me enough power to go through that period of "grind" as you called it, and I saw how my life changed completely. Felt more confident, more at peace with myself, hopeful for the future and the nightmares ended. So now it's like you're in that space where new becomes part of life, untl it turns your life into something completely different. Getting used to it takes a bit of time but I am glad to be in the right place, alhamdullilah. May Allah bless you and may you stay close to him for as long as you'll live insha'Allah !
It makes SO much sense now because I've been scared to lean into this calm chapter. After all, society is always "if you're not doing anything you're a loser" mentality, and this video Subhanallah, makes me want to lean into this new chapter even more.
I think often times we forget to cut myself some slack as a human. Allah would not have created me in the form that i am in if he had any doubt. And Allah is never to be doubted. I've lived the last few years planning everything and then i get dissatisfied with my efforts when the plan goes south. I didn;t notice how blinded i was by my loss to have noticed my journey. Thank you Hamza for such an insightful and beautiful video , i was so deeply moved i even wrote your words down not as points but as reminders that i will always need. JazakAllah May Allah bless you!.
my mental health has deteriorated ever since i hit puberty and i have been suffering mentally with thoughts that consume me for years. recently i have been on that "grind" you have been referring to and im watching and consuming self-improvement videos so that i can stop feeling this way and move on with life because my thoughts and feelings have been holding me back but even though i have improved a bit it hasnt done much. i dont watch islamic self-improvement videos even though they do show up on my feed but i just felt like watching yours and it really resonated with me. i need to change the way i am trying to improve myself, i need to get closer to islam, i need to put my trust in Allah
Please remember this might seem like a few people just saw your video. But it’s 8000 people. You’ve changed 8000 people’s perspective! Imagine that! Thank you so much!!!
you know Hamza your video is actually my sign , i had a hard time trying to understand where i want to be in my life , it was draining my energy , and today when i finally got my answer and somehow i felt like it was a sign from Allah , i also found your video and showed it to my mom , im praying for you i really needed this
I was just scrolling through TH-cam, feeling lost and directionless. I didn't know what to do next, but then your video popped up on my feed, like a sign from allah. After watching it, my mind feels so much clearer. Thank you.
Thank you for your content. I opened TH-cam, didn't know what to watch, and it's on the page so I clicked because I felt like it'd be something that resonated with me. Really, what a great reminder. I hope that the beginning of this year will be a great one, it turned out I'm starting with a problem enough to make me stressed. I had no energy to complain, so I tried to accept everything as a test. Sheikh Omar Suleiman's video is always on my page discussing Allah's Plan, I just watched it this morning. Now it's yours on my homepage. Allah has a unique way of reminding His Ummah. May we be pleased with and accept what Allah has ordained, and may Allah make us happy with what He has written for us. Aamiin.
It was really qadr of Allah SWT that I found this video. You worded how I have been feeling this past period so well. I feel like I'm in the middle of a tunnel and I see no light and its scary your words are exactly what I needed to hear
yeah, definitely, last year, I've locked in for 3 months straight, I had absolute control over myself. But right after it, I started feeling like I'm moving forward way slower, and I noticed that the time I spend thinking about solutions to my problems increased a lot, and that the videos I'm watching give me little value, but I didn't stop watching them completly, just once or twice a month because as Allah said : ''And remind, for indeed, the reminder benefits the believers''
Yes brother Islamic videos that teach you Islam are essential, but it’s the self improvement videos which don’t seem to give me the benefit they used to, I hope it makes sense
this absolutely is on point with every single thing I'm going through, down to the very last bit. I felt guilty not feeling that rush of energy I did before cause I heavily believed it is the key to success. Losing it made me feel uncertain and afraid. thank you so much, i really really needed this
I’ve been in such a tired and pseudo given up mental state ever since I finished A Levels. I’m now in uni but in that time during summer I had a lot of time to reflect on stuff. I never watched any motivational videos but I now look back on the stuff I watched to fill the void and realised it was just to numb the pain and not treat it. Thank you. This video came at the right time
A very interesting standpoint, I relate with you and got something good from your videos. I think it's time to replace the old habit's with the new, more improved ones. I too faced a period of my life where I was in extreme difficulty but I conquerd it and rose to be a better person. Now all that deep thinking and scientific video watching is not required, I just need to do more good deeds. Thank you, may Allah give you a place in Jannat'ul'Firdous, and may we all meet there. Ameen
Asalaam alaykium. I am also a revert and I have been for over a year now subhanallah. This is the first video from you that I have watched and Your words gave me much comfort. May Allah make it easier for us all❤
this video really spoke out to me you somehow described almost everything ive been thinking. I thank allah for making me find this video. I have complete faith in him and know he will guide me to a space where ill be happy. youve earned a sub
This video was recommended to me. It's amazing how everything that you said in this video is actually the exact same thing that I am currently going through right now. And I think I agree with what you are saying. Everything that I used to depend on doesn't really help me in any way. The only thing that is helping right now is the remembrance of Allah SWT. I believe that your video is a sign from Allah for me stop worrying and overthink. Because I am - just like you said in the video - in a point/chapter in my life where it's all new to me. You know, I used to have 100% vision with what I wanted to do in the future. But now, I don't have the slightest clue with what I want to do. Thank you for making this video brother. May Allah grant many rewards and his blessings upon you. Peace ✌️
Thank you for sharing your perspective on this matter. It’s brighten up my “tunnel” while I didn’t even realise I’ve been here for so long. “A new chapter with a clearer direction” might be a term I’ve forgotten. Yesterday I realised, when I’ve been busy with something, something else was happening somewhere. But I’m still here at the same place, holding on a scattered heart, knowing nowhere to go. And now, I listen to you about this. Feels like having a friend to exchange reflections. Barokallah… May Allah bless you with Allah’s mercies and keep strengthening your iman. Aamiin… 🌻
Hiiii this is my first time clicking on one of your vids and msa you’re very well spoken and I’m glad I’m not the only one!! I’m so happy to have clicked on your vid!! 💗💗 pls make dua for me!! And I will too!!
SubhanAllah, I'm literally in this phase right now and your words were exactly what I needed to hear. I cried because I was asking for help from Allah and it was written to see this video of yours. May Allah bless and protect you from any harm. Thank you brother
This video actually reassured me so much, it’s made me realize just how focused I was on the things happening in my dunya, and that now that I don’t feel the same motivation to push through it, I used to think I was getting incompetent at my work, this reminded me that there are greater things worth working for
Last night i cried too much because of the uncertainties of life and carrier and marriage related worries.....i really needed this... thankyou so much ❤
This video came to thrice to my feeds. I had no idea the algorithm. With my basic English skill, i got your point. I've always covered by afraid, depression, doubtful, and etc. But, dyk with Allah i can feel peace, everytime i sujood, it feels like He hug me, everytime I read Quran it feels like He spoke to me. Though, I'm still a sinner, I'm not sure if He forgive me. Oh, one thing that I know, i don't want He disappointed on me. I lift up my life with Him. I'm grateful I'm born as Muslim even though I'm not a good enough Muslim. Thank you for remind us.
That's exactly what I needed to hear! I'm in my early twenties; I sometimes feel lost because, as you said, the old things you used to do to improve no longer work. I put a lot of stress on myself just because everyone says this phase of life (the twenties) will affect my whole life forever. As I heard what you said about accepting how you feel and that Allah will not burden us with things we cannot overcome and will choose for us better than we think, I realized how much I have forgotten about trusting Allah's destiny(Qadar). Thank you for the reminder.
Bro, with all the things im going through in life and the fact that THIS is the exact video i needed. Just when i was on the verge of giving up, scratching out all my progress for 1 year, almost even giving up on Allahs Mercy for me. Thank you, really. Jazakallah
Subhanalah I made a du3a to Allah just yesterday night before sleep because I was feeling unwell and lost and so asked for his guigance. Al hamdullilah I Ve found this video and it really made me feel like my prayer was accepted. Allah have indeed the best plans for us. Always 🩷
I hope you read this. I want to say that this is hauntingly my situation. I watched Ahmed Hamza's videos a long time ago before I'm a muslim, and I just kinda not watch it anymore? Not because I made that concious decision to not watch the productivity videos, but I just grew out of it. And yes I feel this sort of longing for the past, or how I wish I was as serious or as locked in. Now I'm an adult, things are way different. JazakAllah Khairan.
Words can’t describe how much I needed this. It felt like my life was stagnant after taking my deen more seriously for the past year. I know I moved past the starting point of Islam and I got to start exploring the complicated topics of Islam that I didn’t get into yet.
Many of the sentences you mentioned in the video are full of hope, like how God will never put you in a place that isn’t meant for you, and He won’t give you more than you can handle. Everything a person goes through is destined and written by God with precision. As for the things that are no longer beneficial, it’s because you’ve taken all the good out of them, and they’ve become a part of life, like a routine - and that’s a good thing. You’re right, it’s hard to explain exactly what someone is thinking, but your idea was clear. Thank you, Hamza. May God bless you!🤍🤍🤍
You explained exactly what I wanted to say with this video.
I'm afraid my message wasn't clear enough but your comment definitely explains it better than I did SubhanAllah.
May Allah bless you too 💚
@ thank you so much your words mean a lot ,amen 🤍🤍
you're so right, very well interpreted
@@LorenzoHamza well that's ok, I feel myself resonate more with you cuz I am too like that, but if you had not spoken your thoughts then she wouldn't be able to comment it out....
May Allah bless all of us, make our paths to Jannah easier no matter how hard and answer all our duas and help us be the best versions of ourselves.
yes, its something like remembering a surah completely and sometimes in prayers forgetting its whole meaning but still uttering it. If you have already internalized* the surah and applied it in your life its fine for it to be like that
Allah is "speaking" to us all the time.
The question is: are we listening?
loved this one subhanAllah
I am your sister from Gaza 🇵🇸 I ask you to pray for us.. 💔💔.
❤WE PRAY FOR YOU DEAR SISTER EVERY SINGLE DAY✨MAY ALLAH SW' BRING EASE FOR YOU AND PALASTINE✌️.
May Allah help you and all the Palestinians ❤
Ameen
May Allah make it easy for you🤲♥️
May Allah "Subhanahu wa ta'ala" bring ease for You and Palestine.
And liberate Palestine.
I just clicked on the video because of the title. I don't even know the guy behind this channel. it's my first time coming across this channel but i'm truly amazed by Allah's timing. If the creator sees this comment, this is for you - I really needed to hear this and I understood your point! May Allah bless you immensely and give you strength and humility to share your knowledge and reflections!
SubhanAllah I’m so glad Allah gave you the sign you were looking! may Allah bless you 💚
i am suffering from depression and even though I do receive help, praying gives me the most comfort. I dont know why but every time I pray its like a huge stone is removed from my heart and I can finally breath. Islam is the best thing that happened to me Alhamdulilah!
Alhamdulillah Km so glad to hear that prayer helps 💚 just know you’re not alone in it and Allah has something better planned for you
Sister please listen to ruqiya and if you feel much better, try surah albaqarah. It might be black magic. Sadly alot of depression is caused by it. Mine turned out to be magic same for my friend.
I’m in the same situation
Same, I just feel so calm after praying and all my feelings are washed away and I can't help but feel everything is okay. I hope you feel better, seek refuge with Allah [SWT] and I'm sure everything'll be alright 💖
Exact same reaction for me. Only thing on Earth that calms me ! Alhamdullilah !
scary timing😭😭 loved this video, the importance of tawakkul is so real
What you said reminds me of a hadith
The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, “Allah loves that when one of you does something, that they perfect it”. This Hadith is reported by al-Bayhaqi in Shu'ab al-Iman (4929)
Allah loves Excellence of what we are doing, so anything you are doing right now try hard to make it perfect because this is what Allah wants you to do right now (even if you don't know what the output will be)
SubhanAllah may Allah bless you for this reminder 💚
i once read somewhere ( "By living in your mind and stressing about the future and what might go wrong, you are actually facing the future without the kindness of Allah.")
لما تقلق على المستقبل معناه انك قاعد تستقبله بدون لطف الله فيه
i needed this so much, thank you.
going through a phase in my life where i literally don’t know what to do in life.., im just putting my trust in Allah bc i’ve exhausted all means and currently trying to work towards something that i cannot see anyway this video felt like a lot like reassurance and hope so ty (also i just subscribed) may Allah bless you.
I completely understand how you feel.
I posted a video a week ago talking about this exact problem, it's not easy to fix, but it's something that can be fixed with time inshaAllah.
May Allah bless you too 💚
I am also in the same situation, i also used to watch lots of videos , whenever i was in a problem like how to discipline myself or how to be attentive those videos automatically pop up in my phone ,but now they don't help me exactly how the video explains , but i belief in Allah subhanahuwata'la's plan every thing has a purpose in our live🙂
This is the first comment i ever wrote...bcz i am on the verge of tears....i asked for a sign from Allah so desperately and i landed here...i don't know how to put my feelings in words but u said every single thing that i wanted to say for about an year it felt so suffocating to not being able to say what i wanted to...and then u said it ...not only that u gave solutions too..
Allahuakbar what a comment.
I'm really glad Allah granted you this sign and that you finally have a clearer understanding of how your life is.
It's not easy, but it's worth it to keep going and trusting Allah, may Allah bless you 💚
Same here
Same😢
“ self improvement channels don’t know how to tell you that they don’t know what to tell you anymore “ 😮💨 that’s the truth! & a lot of the times it’s just the same repeated stuff. It definitely pushes you to put your full faith into Allah & Allah only & inshaAllah build that connection with Allah and fill that void that only Allah can fill. Great video! May Allah bless you.
May Allah bless you too 💚 as I said, a friend of mine told me that quote and I had the exact reaction, so full credit to him!
This took me such a long time to realise Brother.. That one part at 3:10 in the video where you say this message, I'll be honest I had to replay that section about 5 times to truly understand what you meant lol. But this is so so true! May Allah bless you and guide you in your future endeavours my Brother. Ameen 🙏
ماشاءالله هذا الفيديو خلاني احس انه باقي الناس للحين فيها خير ، تفكيره ماشاء الله عميق ونادراً تشوف ناس تفكر كذا بعمق هالأيام . فا الله يوفقك ويثبتك ويارب تستمر تذكر الناس بالأشياء الجميلة عن الإسلام وعن ربي
اتفق ❤
As I have been embracing Allah & Islam in my life, I thank you. This is truly Allahs way of addressing my character arc.
Alhamdulillah ☝
This is exactly how I feel!!!
My problems now are so deep rooted in me and are part of me that it's so hard to change and I feel stuck
I prayed for the first time in a while today- this popping up on my feed was definitely a sign :)
I love how he puts so much thought into what he’s gonna say
Can't believe how relatable this is! I've also been in a similar situation. Just last month, I had enough motivation to do all my assignments quickly, read all materials, and help my friends studying. This motivation is somehow decreasing, and my physical condition is also deteriorating this whole week. I'm having final test projects, and I thought I should have been worrying about it. Strangely enough, I don't. This video tells me why 👍
I'm so glad someone feels this way Alhamdulillah.
The important thing now is just to realize that you are meant to feel this way and so there's nothing to be worried about💚
feel the exact same way
I've been working on myself nonstop the past year. Now I'm just ready to relax, and honestly I don't know where I'm headed. At first I felt like I was being lazy again or slipping back into my bad habits, but I look around and Alhumdulillah Allah swt gave me so much. Now is the time to have tawakkul and keep walking, even if it is at a slower pace.
Yes I agree! may Allah bless you 💚
I thought I was failing as a muslim, but this changed my perspective. Such a meaningful video
Thanks man. May Allah bless you In Shaa Allah❤️🇧🇩
Loved how you recorded this video, sitting in beautiful nature, not speaking from a script, thinking on the moment not even adding cuts. That felt authentic!
May Allah help you with whatever you're struggling through
These videos are increasing my iman. May Allah (Swt) protect you and forgive all your sins. Keep it up!
May Allah bless you and forgive your sins as well!
I don't really like to talk about personal things in the comment sections, but these past couple of days I have been feeling that same exact feeling you described in the video perfectly well... As a Muslim, of course, there was that period of "grind" I had to get my deen shaped up high. Now that I have a year of highschool left I feel like I have no idea what to do, to successfully get to that "point in life," and I feel like the thought is negatively trying to bring me down. I thought I was the only one feeling this way when trying to watch those motivating Islamic videos to "bring my life together again." When I clicked on this video, I was shocked on how accurate you explained this feeling, and now I feel like I understand why everything that happens in life, big or small, has its purpose for us to have a good ending a bit better and why trusting in Allah at the start of your next chapter will get you higher. Jazakakuallahu Khairan Brother for this video.
Wa Jazakumullah brother, may Allah bless for your kind words 💚
I’m also in my last year of high school and I feel like I’m entering a new chapter, but I don’t know exactly what’s next. I try to remind myself there’s no point worrying about what Allah’s already written for me, only Dua can change fate.❤
Yes, I've definitely been feeling this way. I spent the past year trying to achieve a certain goal in every way possible. I exerted myself to the best of my abilities. I'm just burnt out now, and don't really have the same motivation to keep going. I keep thinking, this is my chance to do more, but I never build the momentum needed to actually do any more. I'm kind of in a resting period now, waiting for something to either reignite the fire, or guide me to the correct path. May Allah help us in our endeavors. Ameen
Beautifully put video, summarised my exact emotions and came as a reassurance. There are no concidences, Allah plans, and who is a better planner than Allah?
Well said may Allah bless you 💚
جزاكم الله خيرا
I ask that Allāh increases you and your family in knowledge, acting upon it, excellence, barakah and obedience to Him. I ask that He gives you and your family steadfastness, health, sufficient preparation to enter His Abode, pondering of the Book of Allāh and the Sunnah and make your children the coolness of your eyes and leaders of the righteous. May He gather us in Al-Jannah as well as in the dunya.
JazakAllahukhairan 💚
Thank you for this video and for your kind words.
I'm 22 and I remember when I was younger I used to watch self improvement and ted talks like crazy. while some were helpful, most just didn't really do anything for me but I was enjoying the freshness of the info at the time.
after a while it just became repetitive and I didn't seem to change, the same problems persisted of demotivation, procrastination, perfectionism, and unfulfillment, combined with the lack of healthy and supportive relationships, It felt like I was pouring water in leaky bucket.
I then realized that the issue was much deeper than I thought, and it's not that I'm just 'lazy'. and It's probably going to take a lot of time and inner work rather than tryna fix the outside. but I hope I will eventually find healing and peace.
make dua for me everyone.
jazakum Allah khairan
wa Jazakumullah brother may Allah help you 💚
لا يكلف الله نفسا إلا وسعها Allah dose not bare a soul more than it can handle
I have always known this sentence but listening to this video mad it click in my head that whatever you are going through means nothing because Allah has promised that you can overcome it this statement is a proof you have all it takes to get through anything.atm I am overwhelmed with gratitude at the idea that Allah believes that I can.I have never thought of it like this before and am so deeply grateful for everything
I hope this makes sense
You described my current Situation so well, all my thoughts and doubts for the last few months, my hardships and struggles, my lowering Iman, my lost of discipline and motivation and exactly that thing about the self improvement videos… it’s like it all came together like a puzzle right now and as if Allah swt has led me to this video to understand what I am going through. Thank you so much for helping me to see the good in this situation and to understand
Somehow this is the first video explaining exactly how I feel. You have put my thoughts and emotions into words and Iam grateful for that. Beautifully explained. Thank you❤
My mom always says that Allah is always with us and if you feel lonely , dejected , hurtful it is آزمائش and allah subhanawatallah is testing you he surely has not given up on you just believe in him believe that he is watching you and you feel achieve success inshallah in life and اخرتفور he has chosen the best for you and no soul will be burdened to what they cannot bear . I hope this One beautiful thing called hope and love for Allah will always be sufficient in you dear brother and sisters and all pain shall pass
SubhanAllah, you have perfectly articulated how I have been feeling as of late. The sincerity and authenticity in your videos are beautiful, and truly a blessing from Allah. Jasakallahukaran for your words of wisdom 🤲☺️
Wa Jazakumullah may Allah bless you 💚
bro you fr making me cry. I needed this so much you have no idea. Alhamdulilah for this, may Allah SWT bless you in this life and the Hereafter Ameen.
I hope you keep saying whats on your mind. Thankyou for this video
Thank you brother I really needed this today. May Allah bless you
may Allah bless you too 💚
Listening to Quran and Dhikr is the only thing that makes me able to survive and go to work
Life with no clear vision and no tools to get what you may think would satisfy you is not easy
I’m filled with sorrow about all I’ve been through and I think Allah is giving me the time to heal because I’ve changed and asked Allah for help
Healing is way more better than burning out for nothing
I remembered you from my Dua that may Allah keep you on the right path
Subhan Allah, I found this video at such a perfect time. I know exactly what you mean about feeling a lack of clarity and always sensed that it serves a greater purpose. Jazak Allahu khairan for the reminder and may Allah reward you!
THE TIMING OF THIS omg. This literally summed up my exact situation. Im in shock of how accurate this was for me. Subhanallah Allah used your video to reach out to so many individuals. Thanks for this.
May Allah bless you, it’s all Allah’s work
Yes you're right, i was looking for a clear answer and Subbhan ALLAH , your video appeared to me ,
Thanks very much,
Allah bless you .
You transmit a lot of peace and valuable knowledge with your videos, Mashallah💖
Allahumma barik, may Allah bless you 💚
bro, how can i thank you man. Allah has given you a mindset and skillset not many have. Please never stop doing this. May Allah grant you Al-firdaus and give you SOOO many blessings in this life and the next ♥
same thing I was thinking
brother may Allah bless you 💚 these are the comments that keep me going and that prove to me that this is working
❤ ALLAHUMA'BARIK.
SubhanAllah. Good to know that there is someone with the same exact thoughts. Seeying Allah (SWT) in everything and this exact moment that led me to your message.❤🤲🏼
SubhanAllah, may Allah bless you brother 💚
I completely get where you're coming from and I've been in the same boat too. Ever since I reverted (2 years ago), it felt so much more obvious what I was supposed to do and there were clear things I could do to improve my life but lately it feels like everything is coming to a standstill and I'm not really sure where the road goes from here, especially when it comes to my future. I think that's one of the biggest parts of reverting to Islam, that it's not just your lifestyle that changes but also your desires, likes/dislikes etc. The things I wanted just a few years ago, things I would have gone til the ends of the Earth for, I couldn't care less about anymore. And if you're living in a rat race, capitalist society (which most of us are), all of the "obvious" and "favourable" paths in life that everyone else is striving for just don't feel worth it anymore. I used to want a successful career and to make a lot of money and live an easy comfortable life, but now neither of things are important to me and I will easily trade them for my akhira (plus the realisation that we can plan all we want but in the end, it goes how Allah wants it to, and no matter what we do, we cannot escape tragedy and loss). You also start to realise that we're all running on limited time and whatever time you invest chasing this world, you're taking away the time you could have spent chasing the afterlife. Especially for someone like me because I always get stressed out about whether or not I'm making the right choices in life or whether or not I'm doing what Allah wants me to do, or if there are things that I could be doing better etc. But this was a good reminder to worry less about the state of your life, and worry more about the state of your heart. Our circumstances in life are entirely in Allah's hands so what we have/don't have or know/don't know doesn't matter. Our job is to watch over the state of our heart and make sure we're keeping our intentions pure and increasing our imaan. The rest will happen as it is and we should trust that Allah will give us something far better than we could have ever imagined for ourselves. May Allah help us all find our paths and may all those paths lead us closer to Him ❤
Ameen 💚 what a comment, I must say this, I feel exactly the same.
I also reverted close to 2 years ago now and have no clue where my life is going. I agree especially with the part that you like that which you disliked and dislike that which you liked, but J feel as if some things still haven’t left me, inshaAllah with time they will go away if they’re bad for me.
I myself don’t know if I really want to live a certain lifestyle if I ever get the opportunity too, it’s confusing yet so peaceful.
May Allah help us 💚
I feel exactly the same. 3 years before this, I used to watch a lot of self improvement Islamic videos to become a better Muslim. But somehow within this year, I stopped watching it all because I felt that it doesn't serve me anymore. I don't know why, but I guess Allah wants me to explore a different set of skill or knowledge maybe to start a new chapter of my life such as parenting.
Thank you for sharing this video. It made me not feel bad about myself for not listening to all the motivational Islamic videos anymore & that I am not alone experiencing the same thing as you do.
SubhanAllah, to hear such a comment is amazing.
Parenting? to realize such a thing takes a massive amount of responsibility and commitment, so may Allah bless you for sharing your thoughts and may Allah bless you with righteous offspring and spouse 💚
is it a miracle when your video randomly popped up on my screen I clicked on it and heard everything you said which was very relatable to my current situation
The fact what you said is not just limited to religion but also real life made me realise that I need to work more towards what I want in the future even if it isn't clear!
Your calm manner of speech is admirable, mashallah allauma barik.
yes u make a lot of sense and i relate to u, it’s crazy that u just put all my feelings in words cause i couldn’t even explain it myself.
This is such a helpful video. I was just trying to explain this to a friend. i never felt like it was understood. I just started to depend on Allah, and so this was so refreshing to see. Much needed.
Dear brother in Islam, so many of your words felt like a fresh, calming breeze to my anxious soul. Constantly worrying she's not doing good enough, always working hours upon hours as hard as she can in order to reach that goal of improvement. I know Allah is the one who gave me enough power to go through that period of "grind" as you called it, and I saw how my life changed completely. Felt more confident, more at peace with myself, hopeful for the future and the nightmares ended. So now it's like you're in that space where new becomes part of life, untl it turns your life into something completely different. Getting used to it takes a bit of time but I am glad to be in the right place, alhamdullilah. May Allah bless you and may you stay close to him for as long as you'll live insha'Allah !
It makes SO much sense now because I've been scared to lean into this calm chapter. After all, society is always "if you're not doing anything you're a loser" mentality, and this video Subhanallah, makes me want to lean into this new chapter even more.
I think often times we forget to cut myself some slack as a human. Allah would not have created me in the form that i am in if he had any doubt. And Allah is never to be doubted. I've lived the last few years planning everything and then i get dissatisfied with my efforts when the plan goes south. I didn;t notice how blinded i was by my loss to have noticed my journey. Thank you Hamza for such an insightful and beautiful video , i was so deeply moved i even wrote your words down not as points but as reminders that i will always need. JazakAllah May Allah bless you!.
You dont know how much i needed this.
Read the title and I just know this is perfect timing for a lot of people including me
The timing…I really needed this!😭😭
my mental health has deteriorated ever since i hit puberty and i have been suffering mentally with thoughts that consume me for years. recently i have been on that "grind" you have been referring to and im watching and consuming self-improvement videos so that i can stop feeling this way and move on with life because my thoughts and feelings have been holding me back but even though i have improved a bit it hasnt done much. i dont watch islamic self-improvement videos even though they do show up on my feed but i just felt like watching yours and it really resonated with me. i need to change the way i am trying to improve myself, i need to get closer to islam, i need to put my trust in Allah
Please remember this might seem like a few people just saw your video. But it’s 8000 people. You’ve changed 8000 people’s perspective! Imagine that! Thank you so much!!!
80000 now mashallah
you know Hamza your video is actually my sign , i had a hard time trying to understand where i want to be in my life , it was draining my energy , and today when i finally got my answer and somehow i felt like it was a sign from Allah , i also found your video and showed it to my mom , im praying for you i really needed this
SubhanAllah I'm so grateful to see these types of comments, they're awesome SubhanAllah.
May Allah give you the clarity you are looking for 💚
I was just scrolling through TH-cam, feeling lost and directionless. I didn't know what to do next, but then your video popped up on my feed, like a sign from allah. After watching it, my mind feels so much clearer. Thank you.
I was today watching a video and it's off a young man and he said he saw one of your videos , welldone Lorenzo. peace.
Thank you for your content.
I opened TH-cam, didn't know what to watch, and it's on the page so I clicked because I felt like it'd be something that resonated with me. Really, what a great reminder.
I hope that the beginning of this year will be a great one, it turned out I'm starting with a problem enough to make me stressed. I had no energy to complain, so I tried to accept everything as a test. Sheikh Omar Suleiman's video is always on my page discussing Allah's Plan, I just watched it this morning. Now it's yours on my homepage. Allah has a unique way of reminding His Ummah.
May we be pleased with and accept what Allah has ordained, and may Allah make us happy with what He has written for us. Aamiin.
It was really qadr of Allah SWT that I found this video. You worded how I have been feeling this past period so well. I feel like I'm in the middle of a tunnel and I see no light and its scary your words are exactly what I needed to hear
yeah, definitely, last year, I've locked in for 3 months straight, I had absolute control over myself. But right after it, I started feeling like I'm moving forward way slower, and I noticed that the time I spend thinking about solutions to my problems increased a lot, and that the videos I'm watching give me little value, but I didn't stop watching them completly, just once or twice a month because as Allah said : ''And remind, for indeed, the reminder benefits the believers''
Yes brother Islamic videos that teach you Islam are essential, but it’s the self improvement videos which don’t seem to give me the benefit they used to, I hope it makes sense
@LorenzoHamza Yeah it does
Thoughts are just thoughts. But these thoughts are meaningful. Allahyuafiquk.
this absolutely is on point with every single thing I'm going through, down to the very last bit. I felt guilty not feeling that rush of energy I did before cause I heavily believed it is the key to success. Losing it made me feel uncertain and afraid. thank you so much, i really really needed this
Subhanallah perfect timing for me to watch this
Listening to this video at exactly the right timing
سبحان الله وبحمده
سبحان الله العظيم
I’ve been in such a tired and pseudo given up mental state ever since I finished A Levels. I’m now in uni but in that time during summer I had a lot of time to reflect on stuff. I never watched any motivational videos but I now look back on the stuff I watched to fill the void and realised it was just to numb the pain and not treat it. Thank you. This video came at the right time
You have amazing way to enlight and explain everything smoothly, broadcasters should make episodes with you !!😭😭
A very interesting standpoint, I relate with you and got something good from your videos. I think it's time to replace the old habit's with the new, more improved ones. I too faced a period of my life where I was in extreme difficulty but I conquerd it and rose to be a better person. Now all that deep thinking and scientific video watching is not required, I just need to do more good deeds. Thank you, may Allah give you a place in Jannat'ul'Firdous, and may we all meet there. Ameen
Ameen 💚 may Allah bless you brother
Asalaam alaykium. I am also a revert and I have been for over a year now subhanallah. This is the first video from you that I have watched and Your words gave me much comfort. May Allah make it easier for us all❤
this video really spoke out to me you somehow described almost everything ive been thinking. I thank allah for making me find this video. I have complete faith in him and know he will guide me to a space where ill be happy. youve earned a sub
ماشاءالله لا قوة إلا بالله الله يثبتنا جميعًا وجزاك الله خير ❤
This video was recommended to me. It's amazing how everything that you said in this video is actually the exact same thing that I am currently going through right now. And I think I agree with what you are saying. Everything that I used to depend on doesn't really help me in any way. The only thing that is helping right now is the remembrance of Allah SWT. I believe that your video is a sign from Allah for me stop worrying and overthink. Because I am - just like you said in the video - in a point/chapter in my life where it's all new to me. You know, I used to have 100% vision with what I wanted to do in the future. But now, I don't have the slightest clue with what I want to do. Thank you for making this video brother. May Allah grant many rewards and his blessings upon you. Peace ✌️
Perfect timing. gotta keep moving forward without complicating it and staying present!!!
I needed this, perfecto timing alhamdidullah ❤🎉
Ma sha Allah brother
Thank you for sharing your perspective on this matter. It’s brighten up my “tunnel” while I didn’t even realise I’ve been here for so long. “A new chapter with a clearer direction” might be a term I’ve forgotten.
Yesterday I realised, when I’ve been busy with something, something else was happening somewhere. But I’m still here at the same place, holding on a scattered heart, knowing nowhere to go. And now, I listen to you about this. Feels like having a friend to exchange reflections. Barokallah…
May Allah bless you with Allah’s mercies and keep strengthening your iman. Aamiin… 🌻
Hiiii this is my first time clicking on one of your vids and msa you’re very well spoken and I’m glad I’m not the only one!! I’m so happy to have clicked on your vid!! 💗💗 pls make dua for me!! And I will too!!
Jazaka Allahu Khairan
May Allah protect you and reward your efforts
SubhanAllah, I'm literally in this phase right now and your words were exactly what I needed to hear. I cried because I was asking for help from Allah and it was written to see this video of yours. May Allah bless and protect you from any harm. Thank you brother
may Allah bless you and grant you many more signs 💚
This video actually reassured me so much, it’s made me realize just how focused I was on the things happening in my dunya, and that now that I don’t feel the same motivation to push through it, I used to think I was getting incompetent at my work, this reminded me that there are greater things worth working for
Last night i cried too much because of the uncertainties of life and carrier and marriage related worries.....i really needed this... thankyou so much ❤
Zazakallah khair
Alhamdulillah, thank u.
This video came to thrice to my feeds. I had no idea the algorithm. With my basic English skill, i got your point. I've always covered by afraid, depression, doubtful, and etc. But, dyk with Allah i can feel peace, everytime i sujood, it feels like He hug me, everytime I read Quran it feels like He spoke to me. Though, I'm still a sinner, I'm not sure if He forgive me. Oh, one thing that I know, i don't want He disappointed on me. I lift up my life with Him. I'm grateful I'm born as Muslim even though I'm not a good enough Muslim. Thank you for remind us.
"Uncertainty will always be part of the taking-charge process"
thank you for this video truly alhamdulillah for everything
That's exactly what I needed to hear! I'm in my early twenties; I sometimes feel lost because, as you said, the old things you used to do to improve no longer work. I put a lot of stress on myself just because everyone says this phase of life (the twenties) will affect my whole life forever. As I heard what you said about accepting how you feel and that Allah will not burden us with things we cannot overcome and will choose for us better than we think, I realized how much I have forgotten about trusting Allah's destiny(Qadar). Thank you for the reminder.
brother, subhan'Allah, you've amazingly described how I feel
the timing…subhanallah
Bro, with all the things im going through in life and the fact that THIS is the exact video i needed. Just when i was on the verge of giving up, scratching out all my progress for 1 year, almost even giving up on Allahs Mercy for me. Thank you, really. Jazakallah
thanks for making this video! currently need this 🥺❤️
Subhanalah I made a du3a to Allah just yesterday night before sleep because I was feeling unwell and lost and so asked for his guigance. Al hamdullilah I Ve found this video and it really made me feel like my prayer was accepted. Allah have indeed the best plans for us. Always 🩷
I hope you read this. I want to say that this is hauntingly my situation. I watched Ahmed Hamza's videos a long time ago before I'm a muslim, and I just kinda not watch it anymore? Not because I made that concious decision to not watch the productivity videos, but I just grew out of it. And yes I feel this sort of longing for the past, or how I wish I was as serious or as locked in. Now I'm an adult, things are way different. JazakAllah Khairan.
wa Jazakumullah 💚 read the comment and fully agree with you!
this 100% made me relate so much thank you
Thank you ,بارك الله فيك
Words can’t describe how much I needed this. It felt like my life was stagnant after taking my deen more seriously for the past year. I know I moved past the starting point of Islam and I got to start exploring the complicated topics of Islam that I didn’t get into yet.
thank you brother you don't know how your videos comforts me
trusting Allah is the best way to feel comfortable
