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.
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🙂
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.
May Allah give you a relief inshaallah❤ Seek Allah’s protection from overthinking and sadness and recite morning/evening adhkar with understanding of what you are reciting, wallahi it helps a lot❤️🩹
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 💖
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 💚
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!!!
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
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 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 💚
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💚
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)
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 ♥
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 💚
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
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.
These few weeks, I've been on and off with everything, my workout plan, studies, deen, everything. And i hated it. I would overwork myself and still not feel satisfied, but then the next week i wouldn't do anything and be exhausted. And I've been having migranes almost every day for a month and i kept thinking "I'm not doing enough, I'm not good enough, I'm not doing enough for allah" ect, and i during this video i slowly was relating to his words and being able to relate, this video was amazing, may allah bless
O allah how i feel sooo related , i really don't know where i'm going or what to do , trying to watch things over and over and feel nothing and don't know what i feel ... That all started after graduation ... Thank you soo much ✨
Never stop posting 🥹🙏 Alhumdulillah Allah (SWT) has blessed you with the gift of being able to recognize the collective experience/emotions in the atmosphere that are being shared. In this case it’s the heavy tension of struggle, guilt, and mental burnout in the air that seems to have arisen from both the season, and the extreme chaos going on in the world around us. Your channel feels like a breath of fresh air. To know that I’m not alone and be able to hear someone else who is openly in the same position tell me not to lose hope when it’s so easy now more than ever to revert to familiar bad habits. Wallahi I cannot thank you enough.❤️❤️ You’re like a fire in a long journey up a large snowy mountain, providing warmth and light to the souls that begin to freeze up on the way. May Allah grant you with a high reward and send peace and blessings upon you and your loved ones. 🫶❤️
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
Lately, I've becomed extremely worried about my grades and how I always not getting the maximum results. In my deepest mind, I could get better and achieve perfect GPA. No other than praying can help me, I put much trust and believes that Allah Swt will definitely help me through this. I hope that He answers my prayer🤲. Tawakkul is the sole answer indeed. Please pray for me friends🙏
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'm a medical aspirant preping for my MBBS test and recently going through ups and downs with my performance,yearning for my dream to come true. I have been feeling down lately for that. But Alhamdulillah, brother. Maybe your video was a symbol from Allah trying to tell me that everything is going to be alright. May Allah make my dream come true and may Allah bless you,Brother
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!
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❤
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
9:49 Like am really going through this tbh and i didn't know that it could be the new chapter of my life or something which i don't know yet! Anyhow,Your video got me thinking now... May Allah fulfill ur prayers and desires Ameen.
Personal development videos are good up to a point. However, when we understand that personal improvement actually means improving in our deen and doing the best we can, we begin to trust in Allah.
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 🤲☺️
I felt crazy about this situation of mine, i did try to SOLVE it, i am still tryinh to get back to those sunshine days,, the days i felt discipline,, i did realise recently that i grew and i cant do it the same way i did it before. But yes, one thing remains which is trusting Allah and handing the hardship to him so he can solve it for me, every single situation relying on him, and realising he is always there..
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
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!
Its exactly what i needed to hear, Masha Allah. The message is hard to describe haha, but I definitely get what you mean. I can probably apply it to my problem too. Burnt myself out cause I panicked i wasnt doing enough. And then I just kep going through that loop of starting, panicking again, and then burning myself out again, when in reality, i was doing just fine and enough. When you try to do well Shaytaan has his means of discouraging you and then the negative thinking comes. If he cant get you to the wrong side with wrong things, he'll get to you by making you waste your time. In the end, we dont need to scurry around to reach any finish line in this life. Our race begins in the next, so you really dont need to worry too much that YOU THINK youre not where youre supposed to be. lll probably need the sunday newsletters to keep myself on track, i just freshly got out of a long period of burn out again. Hopefully this time i dont fall into the same trap again Insha Allah, but this video really told me exactly I needed to hear. Thankyou for the message.
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
The blessings have rolled in. You are so correct that our lack of clarity in this change is part of the plan. I think embracing the beauty of the Qur'an has allowed me progress without falling into my obsessive nature, and missing genuine prayer. I have been able to find work and sleep lately through Allah. What has spoken to me the most recently was Allah's words through the story of Yusuf (A.S.): Indeed in their stories, there is a lesson for men of understanding. It (the Qur’ân) is not a forged statement but a confirmation of which were before it and a detailed explanation of everything and a guide and a Mercy for the people who believe. (12:111)
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.
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.
How much I relate to every word he said, plus perfect, perfect timing. Sometimes you have so many questions that make you do hundreds of duas and hope for a miraculous response, especially if you feel like the subject is too hard to explain or put into words. And Allah sends you answers in ways that comfort you and leave you at a loss for words; all I can say is JazakAllah 100000xKhair.
U said things that i was feeling since past few yr.. Its amazing how Allah helps you when you need the most through some or the other way.... Jazakallahu khayran kaseera
Makes perfect sense brother also my brother, consider making your newsletter drop on any other day than Sunday (Friday would be a good day to choose). "Righteous Sunday" sounds like something they got going on at the church, so perhaps Friday would be good for us. May Allah Subhanahu wa ta 'Ala grant you wisdom, guidance, and beautiful character (Ameen).
look brother it is so crazy how accurate and Allah’s timing played out in this very moment, a couple of minutes earlier i opened youtube as my usual routine of after finishing a task which was a study session, i open youtube and i see videos about self improvement that pop up so i think its for me and such however, i saw the first one that popped up and clicked on it and realized all the things she talked about don’t resonate whatsoever, it was bout having no life of your own and waiting on a specific thing to happen idk if you have been there brother but its like the early stages of wanting something, now i am so much more myself and grounded and secure all because of our beloved god Allah swt, i was like hold on this is not me ew and clicked off, then scrolled down and found ur video right away, subhanAllah! didn’t intend to write a comment but just to let you know that Allah swt is controlling everything and despite us walking unknowingly he got us and help each one of us through the another subhanAllah!
Everything you said makes so much sense! I have been feeling like this for quite a while now and the fact that someone else also feels this way brings me so much comfort. So, thank you for sharing this with us
Your video popped right after I did istikhara and hoping for a new chapter for my life which I was afraid since a time to do it or not and your words in this video was seeming to me like a person sitting right in front of me cuz I was also sitting on ground on my prayer mat sent by the God to guide me every word resonated me so well and I understand pretty well what you wanted to say because someone in our lives guided us towards something so we linked everything to their povs but till certain time of life they helped and they build up a bridge to reach onto another level which we needed...
Subhan’Allah this is something that I am currently going through right now and it started very recently. Basically I’m studying without actually knowing where I’m going which is really concerning, I put my trust in Allah swt barring patient until He shows me a way out of this vicious circle. What you just explained in this video really makes sense and I think this is something we should all reflect on as people who are trying to improve everyday. May Allah swt make it is for all of us, Ameen
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
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.
Subhanallah. Dude, your video was such a qadr moment. I was going through exactly what you explained. Jazakallah, may Allah bless you and grant you Jannatul Firdaus Allahumma Ameen 🤲❤️
Everything you've said in the video is relatable.Also thank you for making this video it's definitely the sign from Allah that I asked him for 'cause I was feeling miserable lately.
In the beginning, I thought it would be a video just like any other and doubted the seriousness of the caption, but then. I don’t know akhi, but you spoke wisely about a topic I have been thinking about for a whole while now (that these motivational videos simply don’t work anymore) and it feels very confirming to see fellow muslims feel the same way. So in conclusion, your tips regarding this are actually pretty helpful. Thank you & Salaam :)
I started practising properly about 4 years ago. I watched Islamic videos every day and for the most of the day because I wanted to improve myself. I think I was also really disappointed with myself for not practising properly before so I put a lot of stress on myself. Watching those videos made me a better person back then but also did some harm. I struggled with a lot of OCD and anxiety because I was so scared I was doing something wrong that I would go to hell for. About 3 years ago, the motivation started slipping away. I watched less and less Islamic videos and to this day, I don’t anymore and I feel horrible about it. I feel like my religion is slipping away because I think im not a good Muslim due to forgetting about those videos and don’t bother watching them anymore. I think I’m scared of falling into those terrible ways of thinking (OCD). But I like the fact you said that Allah willed this.
This came at the perfect moment in my life. I genuinely haven't seen a video that has explained and helped me so much with what I've been feeling recently, I couldn't even explain it, and you put it into the perfect words. I've just reached a stump, and I've been so scared of these feelings and I genuinely just don't know how to approach it, but it makes me glad that it's not something I should be scared of and that it's part of Allah [SWT]'s plan. I don't know where I'm going or even where I'm at, but I'm just gonna put my faith in my Lord and see what happens. It's still a little scary, but I know I need to do this, and see where my journey goes. Good luck to everyone else on their journey. Alhamdulillah for you and this video.
As I watched your video I reflected on how your message matches my current life circumstance. I'm realising it all falls into place. The way I interpreted it is; this 'grind' or 'one way fits all' mentality or hustle of life that's been normalised doesn't resonate with me anymore. It used to, I thought I needed xyz or needed to follow a certain path to feel accomplished/progressive in life. But we've reached a new chapter where contentment is in grateful submission to Allah's will and believing that what he destined is the absolute best. For example, if we reflect on the Syrian people who have been imprisoned in Sednaya for decades, what was their journey of 'self improvement' or accomplishment in life? Or the people of Gaza whose lives are at stake every day. They do not have a linear, certain path in life and it would be odd to think that we do aswell. I believe the newfound understanding that all those who clicked on this video have reached is that our new guiding force in life is doing everything and anything with the intention of worshipping Allah through it. We do not need to acquire xyz to feel accomplished. And to understand that we reflect on the lives of the poor, the sickly, the ones in war zones etc who cannot acquire some of these things/paths in life. Our true self-improvement is every moment of consciously worshipping Allah through everything we do in our lives. Therein lies our true purpose and true improvement. I feel Allah intends for us to feel uncertainty because it drives us to cling onto the rope of Allah. "I did not create jinn and humans except to worship Me." But yes this is very hard to convey. This is just my two cents, I wonder if this is what you meant?
may Allah bless you for a such a detailed comment 💚 let me start by saying that I completely agree with what you said. It's not exactly what I was trying to say, but what you said is also true, it's simply a different topic that can definitely be talked about inshaAllah Second of all I really appreciate these comments, please keep making them, I read all of them 💚
After I watched the video, I realized it was time for me to talk a little bit too. What you said in the video, my brother, is very true, even if the reasons differ from one person to another, for example, I went through a period of time when I was also so excited for three months, i remember, just a week was enough to turn my life around upside down. Whether on my religious side ( obsessions that made me lose my mind and drove me crazy)or school, I completely remember this stage of my life. it didn't benefit me what used to benefit me before, I feel cold about everything. I feel fatal remorse because I know I can do many things for a long time, but not anymore. I couldn't find anyone to tell me in those difficult months that I didn't have to change anything, and that the searching for a solution makes matters worse. I didn't find anyone saying that this was normal and that I had moved to a more important and different stage. I thank Allah Almighty for overcoming that period, even though I am no longer who I was before, it changed me very much. But it's convenient to see your video, especially for people who are suffering now. Yes, this will change you to a stage and you will lose your luster and your sense of humor/ ,enthusiasm you will do the work with discipline and wisdom and not with impulsiveness like before, thank Allah Almighty because you will mature years . The situation was very difficult, especially since it was related to something religious . it stole my smile. But after this period of time, I thank Allah Almighty for what I went through, I knew that I had the strength to endure something I never imagined that I could get through that stage. Even if you are seeking to advance in your studies, your work or even your life in general. That stage where you stop doing the things you're used to, whether you can't inexplicably do it, that stage is going to pass, but it's going to be difficult. As the brother said, you are at the exact point that you are supposed to be, let things take their course alone, believe me Don't listen to your mind or your heart this time, this doesn't work, only when you go through this period( finish )you will see things clearly. But during what you're going through, believe me, everything your mind and heart tell you, both are wrong and very wrong !
Yes, I can understand where ur coming from and what ur trying to say. جزاك الله خير for the motivation and inshallah we will all get to a point where we are all pleased and satisfied with where we have become, and of course we will always have challenges and goals, because this is how life is, but at least we will be satisfied and not scared that maybe we aren't doing our best. May all the wars and problems in Syria, Palestinian, Sudan and all over the muslim world come to an end عاجل غير اجل يا رب 🤲🏼
Brother , this video is just ON POINT . I was just stressing a LOT on what i am doing . I don't have tgat sense of clarity ANYMORE. i am just confused on what is happening right now. I cannot think straight on "what to do". I understand when you say Einstein's quote , and i sgree with , that we have truly come to a different level . But i don't understant on what to do NOW? So , i would LOVE, and be pleased if you nake a video on what to do NOW. cause i have been contemplating for that past 4 days , and am not able to come upon one particular reasonable decision. So , please do make a video on this as well. May allah give you prosperity and guidance, Salam-alaikum-warehmatullah
Assalamu Alaikum brother, that’s a very complicated, but also very easy thing to get out of, let me explain. There’s 2 sides to this situation in my opinion: - the first one is that you to start reading books, watching videos about top 5 ways to fix your life (generally speaking, trying to force your way into doing something) - second part (which is the part I agree with) is to be patient and wait to be touched by inspiration and to suddenly start doing something again. O agree with this part but I also believe you should try a little to force your way through, not by researching, but by trying. I tried recording a video in a park, I liked it, the video went well, I did it a few more times, and now I’m confident this is what I want to do for now. Allah will strike you with inspiration when the time is right, but you should try your way into something by simply trying
Masha'allah brother you are doing great. Your videos helped me a lot. And I request you to make a video on your revert story. Eagerly awaiting to watch your revert story. May Allah bless you and make everything easier for you ❤
Allahumma barik, there's actually a video that I made for a channel called A New Person where I explain my revert story. may Allah bless you for taking the interest 💚
I read your newsletter yesterday and I loved your way of thinking, it’s so comforting, even our demotivation can sometimes be good for us, even when we fall behind and feel as though we aren’t progressing, it’s meant to be because maybe Allah wants us to change the method we’re using for something better, maybe he knows we need to go deeper with finding our solution. Also I agree so much with you that self help videos, although they are good, they can’t get to the root cause of our problems which is usually very very deep , it’s not as simple as eat this way and exercise that way and you’ll be done ! Because it’s deeper it’s psychological , we need deeper answers that only we ourselves can find with the help of Allah ! Once again, thanks for sharing your wise thoughts and your beautiful perspective, may Allah bless you 💚
First of all may Allah bless you for reading the newsletter, I really appreciate it 💚 Second of all, I must say that I completely agree with your points. The problems we have now are so much more complicated than before and they require deeper and more complex reasoning to be fixed. Simple videos don't do that for us anymore.
Allahuakbar everything you talked about akhi is what exactly what I’m going through like I have a lot of free time and have no idea what to do and I just look outside at nature and everything and I’m usually afraid I feel like I’m wasting this precious time what do I do with it. Jazakallah kheiran akhi
brother my advice is to simply try and do something that you've seen others do which you think you could like. You don't have to do it forever, but just try once, maybe you'll like it and you'll continue doing that thing or maybe you'll hate it. May Allah bless you akhi 💚
salam brother, i just wanted you to know that this is great work youre doing, its helped me so much and im sure it has helped many others too, you are truly an inspiration, allahumma barik, may allah reward you and surround you with righteous like yourselves.
❤ALIHAMUDULILLAH AMEEN🤲I GET AN AFFIRMATION FEELING FROM THIS VIDEO HAMZA,WE NEEDED TO HEAR THIS APPARENTLY DUE TO SITUATIONS WE CAN'T CHANGE.SO NOW I PRAY TO ALLAH SW' TO HELP ME NOT STRESS AND TO BE CERTAIN THAT HE PUT ME WHERE I'M SUPPOSED TO BE AT THIS MOMENT👍.THANK YOU DEAR BROTHER HAMZA💛JAZAKA LLAH KHAYRA.WA ALAIKUM SALAM WARAHUMATULAH WABARAKATUH.
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.
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.
scary timing😭😭 loved this video, the importance of tawakkul is so real
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🙂
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
May Allah give you a relief inshaallah❤ Seek Allah’s protection from overthinking and sadness and recite morning/evening adhkar with understanding of what you are reciting, wallahi it helps a lot❤️🩹
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 💖
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 💚
As I have been embracing Allah & Islam in my life, I thank you. This is truly Allahs way of addressing my character arc.
Alhamdulillah ☝
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!!!
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 ❤
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 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 💚
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
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 💚
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.
Your calm manner of speech is admirable, mashallah allauma barik.
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 💚
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
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 💚
Listening to this video at exactly the right timing
سبحان الله وبحمده
سبحان الله العظيم
you are exactly speaking about what I'm going through. Great video brother. Never stop.
These few weeks, I've been on and off with everything, my workout plan, studies, deen, everything. And i hated it. I would overwork myself and still not feel satisfied, but then the next week i wouldn't do anything and be exhausted. And I've been having migranes almost every day for a month and i kept thinking "I'm not doing enough, I'm not good enough, I'm not doing enough for allah" ect, and i during this video i slowly was relating to his words and being able to relate, this video was amazing, may allah bless
Islam is the truth
I wish you paradise my brother in islam
May GOD bless you
The second half of the video is very comforting thank you
O allah how i feel sooo related , i really don't know where i'm going or what to do , trying to watch things over and over and feel nothing and don't know what i feel ... That all started after graduation ... Thank you soo much ✨
Never stop posting 🥹🙏 Alhumdulillah Allah (SWT) has blessed you with the gift of being able to recognize the collective experience/emotions in the atmosphere that are being shared. In this case it’s the heavy tension of struggle, guilt, and mental burnout in the air that seems to have arisen from both the season, and the extreme chaos going on in the world around us. Your channel feels like a breath of fresh air. To know that I’m not alone and be able to hear someone else who is openly in the same position tell me not to lose hope when it’s so easy now more than ever to revert to familiar bad habits. Wallahi I cannot thank you enough.❤️❤️ You’re like a fire in a long journey up a large snowy mountain, providing warmth and light to the souls that begin to freeze up on the way. May Allah grant you with a high reward and send peace and blessings upon you and your loved ones. 🫶❤️
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
Lately, I've becomed extremely worried about my grades and how I always not getting the maximum results. In my deepest mind, I could get better and achieve perfect GPA. No other than praying can help me, I put much trust and believes that Allah Swt will definitely help me through this. I hope that He answers my prayer🤲. Tawakkul is the sole answer indeed. Please pray for me friends🙏
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'm a medical aspirant preping for my MBBS test and recently going through ups and downs with my performance,yearning for my dream to come true. I have been feeling down lately for that. But Alhamdulillah, brother. Maybe your video was a symbol from Allah trying to tell me that everything is going to be alright. May Allah make my dream come true and may Allah bless you,Brother
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!
You transmit a lot of peace and valuable knowledge with your videos, Mashallah💖
Allahumma barik, may Allah bless you 💚
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❤
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 💚
Thank you for this video, It feels like an answer to my questions
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!
You dont know how much i needed this.
every sentence of this video was what I needed ! man that's insane. all my questions are answered ! woah 🌸
9:49 Like am really going through this tbh and i didn't know that it could be the new chapter of my life or something which i don't know yet! Anyhow,Your video got me thinking now... May Allah fulfill ur prayers and desires Ameen.
Yes Subhanallah I agree 100%
I ask God Almighty to protect you, bless you, and strengthen you
Personal development videos are good up to a point. However, when we understand that personal improvement actually means improving in our deen and doing the best we can, we begin to trust in Allah.
Thank you so much brother 🤍
This is exactly what I'm going through.
Old life goes away and I have no idea what to do with the new stage of life.
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 💚
I felt crazy about this situation of mine, i did try to SOLVE it, i am still tryinh to get back to those sunshine days,, the days i felt discipline,, i did realise recently that i grew and i cant do it the same way i did it before. But yes, one thing remains which is trusting Allah and handing the hardship to him so he can solve it for me, every single situation relying on him, and realising he is always there..
videos in the grass give a great vibe
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
This resonates deeply
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!
Its exactly what i needed to hear, Masha Allah. The message is hard to describe haha, but I definitely get what you mean. I can probably apply it to my problem too. Burnt myself out cause I panicked i wasnt doing enough. And then I just kep going through that loop of starting, panicking again, and then burning myself out again, when in reality, i was doing just fine and enough.
When you try to do well Shaytaan has his means of discouraging you and then the negative thinking comes. If he cant get you to the wrong side with wrong things, he'll get to you by making you waste your time. In the end, we dont need to scurry around to reach any finish line in this life. Our race begins in the next, so you really dont need to worry too much that YOU THINK youre not where youre supposed to be.
lll probably need the sunday newsletters to keep myself on track, i just freshly got out of a long period of burn out again. Hopefully this time i dont fall into the same trap again Insha Allah, but this video really told me exactly I needed to hear. Thankyou for the message.
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
The blessings have rolled in. You are so correct that our lack of clarity in this change is part of the plan.
I think embracing the beauty of the Qur'an has allowed me progress without falling into my obsessive nature, and missing genuine prayer. I have been able to find work and sleep lately through Allah. What has spoken to me the most recently was Allah's words through the story of Yusuf (A.S.):
Indeed in their stories, there is a lesson for men of understanding. It (the Qur’ân) is not a forged statement but a confirmation of which were before it and a detailed explanation of everything and a guide and a Mercy for the people who believe. (12:111)
Jazaka Allahu Khairan
May Allah protect you and reward your efforts
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.
13:54 jazak allah khairan that was needed
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 💚
How much I relate to every word he said, plus perfect, perfect timing. Sometimes you have so many questions that make you do hundreds of duas and hope for a miraculous response, especially if you feel like the subject is too hard to explain or put into words. And Allah sends you answers in ways that comfort you and leave you at a loss for words; all I can say is JazakAllah 100000xKhair.
haha I loved this comment may Allah bless you 💚
I swear this video was on my TH-cam two times I ignored it and watched it rn and I NEEDED IT SO MUCH ❤️❤️❤️
hahah I’m so glad you clicked SubhanAllah, may Allah bless you 💚
Omg this is EXACTLY how I'm feeling at this stage
U just validated my feelings
U said things that i was feeling since past few yr.. Its amazing how Allah helps you when you need the most through some or the other way.... Jazakallahu khayran kaseera
Subhan Allah May Allah bless you 💓❤️💙💕
Ma sha ALLAH Very well said.
Makes perfect sense brother
also my brother, consider making your newsletter drop on any other day than Sunday (Friday would be a good day to choose). "Righteous Sunday" sounds like something they got going on at the church, so perhaps Friday would be good for us. May Allah Subhanahu wa ta 'Ala grant you wisdom, guidance, and beautiful character (Ameen).
needed this!❤
look brother it is so crazy how accurate and Allah’s timing played out in this very moment, a couple of minutes earlier i opened youtube as my usual routine of after finishing a task which was a study session, i open youtube and i see videos about self improvement that pop up so i think its for me and such however, i saw the first one that popped up and clicked on it and realized all the things she talked about don’t resonate whatsoever, it was bout having no life of your own and waiting on a specific thing to happen idk if you have been there brother but its like the early stages of wanting something, now i am so much more myself and grounded and secure all because of our beloved god Allah swt, i was like hold on this is not me ew and clicked off, then scrolled down and found ur video right away, subhanAllah! didn’t intend to write a comment but just to let you know that Allah swt is controlling everything and despite us walking unknowingly he got us and help each one of us through the another subhanAllah!
Everything you said makes so much sense! I have been feeling like this for quite a while now and the fact that someone else also feels this way brings me so much comfort. So, thank you for sharing this with us
Your video popped right after I did istikhara and hoping for a new chapter for my life which I was afraid since a time to do it or not and your words in this video was seeming to me like a person sitting right in front of me cuz I was also sitting on ground on my prayer mat sent by the God to guide me every word resonated me so well and I understand pretty well what you wanted to say because someone in our lives guided us towards something so we linked everything to their povs but till certain time of life they helped and they build up a bridge to reach onto another level which we needed...
SubhanAllah, I’m starting to see a trend with these comments, somehow they are all perfectly timed Allahuakbar 💚
You really discribe what i feel.❤
Subhan’Allah this is something that I am currently going through right now and it started very recently.
Basically I’m studying without actually knowing where I’m going which is really concerning, I put my trust in Allah swt barring patient until He shows me a way out of this vicious circle.
What you just explained in this video really makes sense and I think this is something we should all reflect on as people who are trying to improve everyday.
May Allah swt make it is for all of us, Ameen
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 💚
love you brother for the sake of Allah really helpful videos and the Righteous Sunday Newsletter is top tier!
JazakAllahukhairan brother for the support love you too for the sake of Allah 💚
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.
I like the nature background videos ! Makes someone really appreciate the beauty of gods work
Subhanallah. Dude, your video was such a qadr moment. I was going through exactly what you explained. Jazakallah, may Allah bless you and grant you Jannatul Firdaus Allahumma Ameen 🤲❤️
Ameen, may Allah bless you and grant Jannatul Firdaus to you as well 💚
Everything you've said in the video is relatable.Also thank you for making this video it's definitely the sign from Allah that I asked him for 'cause I was feeling miserable lately.
In the beginning, I thought it would be a video just like any other and doubted the seriousness of the caption, but then. I don’t know akhi, but you spoke wisely about a topic I have been thinking about for a whole while now (that these motivational videos simply don’t work anymore) and it feels very confirming to see fellow muslims feel the same way. So in conclusion, your tips regarding this are actually pretty helpful. Thank you & Salaam :)
Mashallah, not only was this perfect timing but well said, thank you so much for this 🤲❤
Wa-Alaikum Salaam Warahmatu lai wa-barakatu
I started practising properly about 4 years ago. I watched Islamic videos every day and for the most of the day because I wanted to improve myself. I think I was also really disappointed with myself for not practising properly before so I put a lot of stress on myself. Watching those videos made me a better person back then but also did some harm. I struggled with a lot of OCD and anxiety because I was so scared I was doing something wrong that I would go to hell for. About 3 years ago, the motivation started slipping away. I watched less and less Islamic videos and to this day, I don’t anymore and I feel horrible about it. I feel like my religion is slipping away because I think im not a good Muslim due to forgetting about those videos and don’t bother watching them anymore. I think I’m scared of falling into those terrible ways of thinking (OCD). But I like the fact you said that Allah willed this.
This came at the perfect moment in my life. I genuinely haven't seen a video that has explained and helped me so much with what I've been feeling recently, I couldn't even explain it, and you put it into the perfect words. I've just reached a stump, and I've been so scared of these feelings and I genuinely just don't know how to approach it, but it makes me glad that it's not something I should be scared of and that it's part of Allah [SWT]'s plan. I don't know where I'm going or even where I'm at, but I'm just gonna put my faith in my Lord and see what happens. It's still a little scary, but I know I need to do this, and see where my journey goes. Good luck to everyone else on their journey. Alhamdulillah for you and this video.
how did you know exactly what I was going through? definitely needed this video rn. thank you Lorenzo.
This is so real and eye-opening, made me cry. Jazakuallah brother and may the Almighty always be with you in this world and the hereafter, Ameen.
Ameen may Allah be always with you too 💚
Masha Allah brother you deserve million subscriber we will keep sharing your content
May Allah bless you❤️
Jazakallahu kheiran, I didn’t believe some1 could relate to my situation. Tysm!!!
As I watched your video I reflected on how your message matches my current life circumstance. I'm realising it all falls into place. The way I interpreted it is; this 'grind' or 'one way fits all' mentality or hustle of life that's been normalised doesn't resonate with me anymore. It used to, I thought I needed xyz or needed to follow a certain path to feel accomplished/progressive in life. But we've reached a new chapter where contentment is in grateful submission to Allah's will and believing that what he destined is the absolute best. For example, if we reflect on the Syrian people who have been imprisoned in Sednaya for decades, what was their journey of 'self improvement' or accomplishment in life? Or the people of Gaza whose lives are at stake every day. They do not have a linear, certain path in life and it would be odd to think that we do aswell. I believe the newfound understanding that all those who clicked on this video have reached is that our new guiding force in life is doing everything and anything with the intention of worshipping Allah through it. We do not need to acquire xyz to feel accomplished. And to understand that we reflect on the lives of the poor, the sickly, the ones in war zones etc who cannot acquire some of these things/paths in life. Our true self-improvement is every moment of consciously worshipping Allah through everything we do in our lives. Therein lies our true purpose and true improvement. I feel Allah intends for us to feel uncertainty because it drives us to cling onto the rope of Allah. "I did not create jinn and humans except to worship Me." But yes this is very hard to convey. This is just my two cents, I wonder if this is what you meant?
may Allah bless you for a such a detailed comment 💚
let me start by saying that I completely agree with what you said. It's not exactly what I was trying to say, but what you said is also true, it's simply a different topic that can definitely be talked about inshaAllah
Second of all I really appreciate these comments, please keep making them, I read all of them 💚
After I watched the video, I realized it was time for me to talk a little bit too. What you said in the video, my brother, is very true, even if the reasons differ from one person to another, for example, I went through a period of time when I was also so excited for three months, i remember, just a week was enough to turn my life around upside down. Whether on my religious side ( obsessions that made me lose my mind and drove me crazy)or school, I completely remember this stage of my life. it didn't benefit me what used to benefit me before, I feel cold about everything. I feel fatal remorse because I know I can do many things for a long time, but not anymore. I couldn't find anyone to tell me in those difficult months that I didn't have to change anything, and that the searching for a solution makes matters worse. I didn't find anyone saying that this was normal and that I had moved to a more important and different stage. I thank Allah Almighty for overcoming that period, even though I am no longer who I was before, it changed me very much. But it's convenient to see your video, especially for people who are suffering now. Yes, this will change you to a stage and you will lose your luster and your sense of humor/ ,enthusiasm you will do the work with discipline and wisdom and not with impulsiveness like before, thank Allah Almighty because you will mature years .
The situation was very difficult, especially since it was related to something religious . it stole my smile. But after this period of time, I thank Allah Almighty for what I went through, I knew that I had the strength to endure something I never imagined that I could get through that stage. Even if you are seeking to advance in your studies, your work or even your life in general. That stage where you stop doing the things you're used to, whether you can't inexplicably do it, that stage is going to pass, but it's going to be difficult. As the brother said, you are at the exact point that you are supposed to be, let things take their course alone, believe me
Don't listen to your mind or your heart this time, this doesn't work, only when you go through this period( finish )you will see things clearly. But during what you're going through, believe me, everything your mind and heart tell you, both are wrong and very wrong !
Yes, I can understand where ur coming from and what ur trying to say. جزاك الله خير for the motivation and inshallah we will all get to a point where we are all pleased and satisfied with where we have become, and of course we will always have challenges and goals, because this is how life is, but at least we will be satisfied and not scared that maybe we aren't doing our best.
May all the wars and problems in Syria, Palestinian, Sudan and all over the muslim world come to an end عاجل غير اجل يا رب 🤲🏼
Brother , this video is just ON POINT . I was just stressing a LOT on what i am doing . I don't have tgat sense of clarity ANYMORE. i am just confused on what is happening right now. I cannot think straight on "what to do". I understand when you say Einstein's quote , and i sgree with , that we have truly come to a different level . But i don't understant on what to do NOW?
So , i would LOVE, and be pleased if you nake a video on what to do NOW. cause i have been contemplating for that past 4 days , and am not able to come upon one particular reasonable decision. So , please do make a video on this as well.
May allah give you prosperity and guidance,
Salam-alaikum-warehmatullah
Assalamu Alaikum brother, that’s a very complicated, but also very easy thing to get out of, let me explain.
There’s 2 sides to this situation in my opinion:
- the first one is that you to start reading books, watching videos about top 5 ways to fix your life (generally speaking, trying to force your way into doing something)
- second part (which is the part I agree with) is to be patient and wait to be touched by inspiration and to suddenly start doing something again. O agree with this part but I also believe you should try a little to force your way through, not by researching, but by trying. I tried recording a video in a park, I liked it, the video went well, I did it a few more times, and now I’m confident this is what I want to do for now.
Allah will strike you with inspiration when the time is right, but you should try your way into something by simply trying
I really needed to hear this! I have a feeling of reassurement that I didn’t think I had before this video. Thanks
Masha'allah brother you are doing great. Your videos helped me a lot. And I request you to make a video on your revert story. Eagerly awaiting to watch your revert story. May Allah bless you and make everything easier for you ❤
Allahumma barik, there's actually a video that I made for a channel called A New Person where I explain my revert story.
may Allah bless you for taking the interest 💚
I read your newsletter yesterday and I loved your way of thinking, it’s so comforting, even our demotivation can sometimes be good for us, even when we fall behind and feel as though we aren’t progressing, it’s meant to be because maybe Allah wants us to change the method we’re using for something better, maybe he knows we need to go deeper with finding our solution. Also I agree so much with you that self help videos, although they are good, they can’t get to the root cause of our problems which is usually very very deep , it’s not as simple as eat this way and exercise that way and you’ll be done ! Because it’s deeper it’s psychological , we need deeper answers that only we ourselves can find with the help of Allah ! Once again, thanks for sharing your wise thoughts and your beautiful perspective, may Allah bless you 💚
First of all may Allah bless you for reading the newsletter, I really appreciate it 💚
Second of all, I must say that I completely agree with your points. The problems we have now are so much more complicated than before and they require deeper and more complex reasoning to be fixed. Simple videos don't do that for us anymore.
thanks for this video bro..... May Allah (s.w.t) ease our lives for us all😇
Allahuakbar everything you talked about akhi is what exactly what I’m going through like I have a lot of free time and have no idea what to do and I just look outside at nature and everything and I’m usually afraid I feel like I’m wasting this precious time what do I do with it. Jazakallah kheiran akhi
brother my advice is to simply try and do something that you've seen others do which you think you could like.
You don't have to do it forever, but just try once, maybe you'll like it and you'll continue doing that thing or maybe you'll hate it.
May Allah bless you akhi 💚
it makes perfect sense to me >> thank you
Mashallah ❤
Allahumma barik 💚
salam brother, i just wanted you to know that this is great work youre doing, its helped me so much and im sure it has helped many others too, you are truly an inspiration, allahumma barik, may allah reward you and surround you with righteous like yourselves.
