"If only things had been different..."
"What if I had done something else..."
The phrases "what if" and "if only" are often used for regret or to dream of a seemingly better reality...but if you adopt a more fruitful perspective, you can use the phrases to see what you were saved from instead. Regret can be inescapable, but when we wonder "what if" that regret has the potential to turn into something worse. Why does "what if" open the doors to Shaytan, and what are positive ways to use "if only"?

My only regret. Iam unable to help my Palestinian brothers and sisters who are dying infront of my eyes. What we will say infront of Prophet Muhammad if he says what have you done for children of Palestine where was my Ummah when they were starving, being bombed every second where was your so called wealth, power etc etc 💔🥺
brother. you can help by boycott. boycotting brands that support the killing of innocent lives. Example: Nike, McDonalds, KFC e.t.c. You are playing a part by not buying from these brands. They fund their money to Israel. And it does make a difference. Starbucks in the Middle East lost more than 7 million dollars just because people are boycotting. It doesn’t matter where you are based in the world right now. Keep researching brands that support these types of causes that should be boycotted.
@@Dua_Shahin I'm doing this already but what about pain of heart, tears of eyes, sleepless nights, looking at the water and remembering the children of gaza, eating new meals and remembering them always and trying to handle tears on every video..💔
Also prayers and Dua. The true help is from Allah he has the ultimate power to help our brothers and sisters. Why put your hopes in a country siding with you when we can put our trust in Allah bringing us victory over the oppressors? ❤
@@ameenahatim ALLAH says in Harakah there is a Barakah unfortunately there is no one to do Harakah so how you are expecting victory without doing anything just prayers. Prayers are not everything when we will stand firmly surely ALLAH will grant us victory.
Are you an indian??
No amount of regret can change the past, and no amount of worry can change the future. Learn from the past, prepare for the future and embrace the present. Do your best, and leave the rest to Allah.
Beautifully written!!! I am writing this quote in my notebook 🤍☺
Jazakallah Khairan 🤍
Well said..
May Allah bless you for this write up.🙏🏻
Allahumma barik bro this quote is gem, don't forget to say allahumma barik brothers and sisters.
As a new muslim, with this being my first ever Ramadan. I want to thank Allah and everyone at Yaqeen Institute for this beautiful series. Each day after Fajr I watch each new video and I feel as though it is directly speaking to me and helping me through my thoughts and things that have happened ever since I accepted Islam. Alhamdulillah, I love you all for the sake of Allah. 🤲🏽❤️
Don't say as a new Muslim, but say as a Muslim because you have always been one since birth, but wasn't guided to it or by it and now you do may Allah keeps you steadfast to it and make it easier for you. You're a Muslim.😊
❤
😂ameen
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Many congratulations dear
Who needs therapy when we have omar Suleiman's Ramadan series ❤️🥰
Couldn't agree more 🤍😊
Agree💌
👍
Alhamdullilah, the glorious Qur'an is all the 'therapy' human beings need.
So true
"Life is not about the what ifs, it's about what is."
Brilliant line to keep in mind always. Baraka Allahu fi all the people involved in this series
Don't forget: it's about what is 'ordained by Allah'. Just wanted to mention that, it is indeed a brilliant line ;-)
"What was meant for me will never miss me and what has missed me was never meant for me" ❤
This series has changed my life. I don’t know what would have happened without it. Thank you dear Omar Suleiman, for doing this.
❤
Same !!
“Life is not about what if it’s about what is”
This one ties in nicely to yesterday’s episode of people who cross your path and are placed there by the qadr of Allah. We could say what if I had never met this person then my life would have been different or we could say Alhamdulillah I met this person and because of that I am a different person. JazakAllah Khayr for this series. I will be going back and watching this one for a long time. This series has so many lessons that you can’t take them in all at once. And some of them we might not need right now because we are not facing that specific situation where the message would resonate with us. Definitely a keeper.
Subhan Allah
Truee!!🥹
Yes!!
So true❤
Subhan'Allah, Hajj 2022 I met with an accident in Mecca 😢I broke my leg...needing a metal plate in my leg and not being able to do the Hajj rituals...but Shukr Alhamdulilah as there is a higher purpose for this as I know Allah s.w.t wanted ease for me😢So I endured Arafat day...only to be hospitalised again with being in icu....Allah wants ease...so he gifted me with sickness on this blessed day...we don't realise Allah s.w.t is in full control of our lives...even if we don't agree with the outcome....😊Have Tawakal....Allah gives us numerous chances to turn back to him...run in that direction
Ameen ya Rabbi 😢😢
how did it happen =(( may الله give you shifah
I have battled with hurt from heartbreak for a long time and sometimes I wonder if the pain can ever be completely forgotten. May Allah heal my heart, bless me with a pious and loving spouse and beautiful children who will be steadfast in Islam. Please say a Dua for me 🙏
Ameen
Allahums Ameen sister ❤
Recently, I was really down. And lot of "what ifs" in head. Maa shaa Allah, after praying tarawee, I saw this video. I felt that Allah gave me answer thru this video. Alhamdulillah.
JazaakAllahu khair for the reminder. The past six months have been a struggle and the “ifs” have lingered in my mind. May Allah have mercy on us all, forgive our shortcomings, and resolve our problems. Aameen.
Ameen
Same…. It’s like he’s reading our mind with the series topics
Ameen
Seems like we are watching our whole story in every episode and finding answers❤
Subhan Allah, your entire series this Ramadan has helped me in my current emotions and situation.
Oh Allah, indeed You are sufficient for us. You are the best disposer of affairs
Each and every episode of this series is relatable for me at a spiritual level..I can't stop crying after seeing this..As a person who was born with incurable skin disease and now dealing with multiple hardship,this episode works as healer.. I pray Allah helps everyone who is going through hardships..I'd be grateful if anyone prays for me too..
May Allah heal you or give you what’s better for you 🤲🏻
@@rayyaabughosh7637Jazak Allahu khairan. May Allah bless you
MashaAllah whoever recite the Quran at the end of every video MashaAllah so soothing and pleasing is that voice MashaAllah Tabarak Allah Alhamdulillah 😍
"We only see the "if only" of regret, but not the "if only" that Allah has saved us from
"There are so many ifs that went your way, and those are the ifs that inspire gratitude"
"Life is not about the what ifs, it is about the what is"
May Allah bless you, guide you, and protect you ❤
I cried so much watching this, may Allah bless Dr. Omar Suleiman
I wrote about it when i was 15 in my novel "hope: it keeps us alive" and today litsning to this all over again makes it nostalgic and regretful too😢
Im so glad what didnt work didnt work. Allah took me on some path! I hated the world and Allah because of things. And loads of bad things happened but Allah had my back all along. His forgiveness is a love hard to embody hlbut we must try.
May Allah bless Omar Suleiman and the Yaqeen team
Be strong, oh Hasan, we're experiencing the same problem 😢
A person said: "Allahu Akbar". In the few seconds said: "La ilaha illallah". Then immediately after that said: "La ilaha illa anta subhanaka inni kuntu min-adh-dhalimeen". Again, few seconds later, said: "Subhanallahi wa bi hamdihi - Subhanallahil 'Azeem". This way, 70, 000 good deeds (sawab) were earned, Ma sha Allah.! 😇
And this person is you.🤎✨
May Allah bledd you for your beautiful words of Allah
This is sooooo sweet mashallah
Mashallah thank you
SHEIK OMAR SULEIMAN, A GIFT FROM ALLAH TO THIS UMMAH AND WORLD 🌎♥🙏❤💖💕
I loveeeee the special effects. So high standard. Alhamdullilah
6:41 there are so many “ifs” that went to your way, and these are the “ifs” that inspire gratitude
May Allah SWT protect all of us Ameen 🤍
Ameen
I don’t know what is in the water at Yaqeen that helps you know exactly what it is that I need to hear but I feel like every episode of this series has dropped at exactly the right hour for me. Thank you, and may Allah reward all of you who work on these series for your efforts
Intense research 😁
Allah !!❤
I always used to say that just if I didn't have a knee injury, I would have been able to do this and this. I then accepted it. I always used to say that just if I haven’t met this person, I would have so on... but I also accepted fate. Once you accept fate, you pretty much won't think about what if. I guess because I always thought what if, I just gave up and dealt with what I can do now with what I have.
"if" you pray for me then ,i pray Allah will give you wellbeing and remove all your worries and sadness and may Allah grant you jannatul fardows🤲
Aameen
May Allah bless you and grant all of us Jannatul firdaus.
Ya Rahman bless Dr Omar Suleiman and grant him
Jannah. May he experience Jannah beyond his descriptions and imagination of Jannah
Allahu Akbar, it’s amazing how I always need this at the moment it’s released 😊
Wallahi.
So many unanswered questions answered in this series.
Forever grateful for Dr. Omar Suleiman 💫❤️
A series is needed just for this episode!!!
Again excellence. MashaAllah. Allahumma Barik. Today’s episode and yesterday’s on heartbreak and betrayal are excellent. Thank you so much for these. It is so amazing how these are the topics being discussed as these are the ones I need to hear the most at this time in my life. Allah is the Best of Planners, Allahu Akbar!
I am going through this right now. All my 20s wasted to pornography addiction. Now being 30 and single and it hurts SOO much!
Allah bless you
Please remember our Palestinian brothers and sisters and every Muslim country in your prayers that are facing difficult circumstances.
Allahu Akbar
🇵🇸❤️🖤🤍💚🇵🇸
❤🎉❤allah bless you 💕
Alhamdulillah for yaqeen institute
wallahi brother Suleiman dropping gems lately, may Allah guide him to Firdaus
This video gave me something special ❤
Agreed
The word "if" is short but it's impacts are longstanding and have the power to trap you in the thoughts of what could have been and leave you dissapointed with what actually is.- Omar Suleiman
This series give us excellent explanation for the issues that may lead us to desperation and rebellion against Allah.
Allah accept your efforts ....❤
life is about what is not what if, we can regret about the action but not the outcome, which is actually a part of muhasabah. we can also regret about not doing good deed tho
For past few months i was not in good mental state. I had my insecurities hitting me hard and because of the i behaved in a certain way with people arround me and then i tried to change myself but by that time those people behavior changed with me and somehow Allah removed them from my life and now im left with regret. I cry and think i wish i hadn't said this or that. I think i will not meet good people now.
Assalamu Alaikum. Alhumdulillah. Thank you for the reminders.
Alhamdulillah, I’m really grateful that Allah didn’t ceded me to myself,
يا حي يا قيوم برحمتك أستغيث أصلح لى شأنى كله ولا تكلني إلي نفسى طرفة عين، اللهم آمين ❤
“my heart is at ease, knowing what was meant for me, will never missed me. and what has missed me was never meant for me” - Imam As-Syafie Rahimahullah
I feel like you are speaking directly to me. SubhanAllah. This is something I struggle w/ unfortunately.
Shukrun brother your knowledge is truly inspiring ❤
May Allah bless the entire team of this series.. I can't express in words , this episode is like an answer of all of my ifs..every episode is heart touching..😭😭 Alhamdulillah for everything ❤
Alhamdulillah
It’s only by he Subhanallahu wata’ala’s Qadar. Alhamdulillah for for everything ❤
Very impactful and full of insights Masha Allaahu....lots of ifs that went your way😢 Alhamdulillaah for all of them... Barakallaahu feekum
Alhamdullilah
MaaShaa Allah! Very profound and useful episode. “Life is not about “ifs” but “is”!” Jazakkallah khair for the reminders! ♥️
May Allah protect us from unhealthy regrets
تقبل الله منك
This episode is exactly what I needed
This series is for me!!!! It came when i needed it the most. Answering all my questions. May Allah bless you omar suleiman
IT IS NOT ABOUT THE WHAT IFS BUT ABOUT THE WHAT IS! Stop thinkining of your past and live in the present...
May we be enjoying together like this in Jannahtul firdaus 🙏
Even if i watch all the episodes multiple times, i cant get enough of them. It seems like each episode comes with an answer to our some thoughts of questions or our past. May Allah ease our hardships and reward Dr. Omer sulaiman and his team for this work.
Alhamdulilah, beautiful massage we plan, but allah S.W.T plan is bigger, so stay focused on what allah S.W.T. is showing us and don't look back. Just keep moving forward
Jazāk Allāhu Khayran
Jazakallah khair ❤
I needed this
Hamdulillahh... I'm glad that I stumbled into Marvelous Quran 1st before I'm being lead to this channel...
SubhanAllah...Robbii, innaka antassamii'ul 'aliim
I needed this one as well.
Masha Allah ✨.
Thanks for this series!
As Salam alaykum brothers and sisters please we shouldn't stop protesting peacefully until we free our brothers and sisters in gaza remember IDF soldiers Zionist are Americans and that's the truth and we are Americans Muslims too so let's challenge them peacefully insha Allah let's not forget our brothers and sisters in gaza who don't even have date to break their fast the ummah least they do is to keep protesting peacefully
Barak Allahu feekum!
Subhan Allah.. jazak Allahu khairan kaseeran
Thank you so much for this. Jazakallahu Khayr
Thank you!
This episode realte to me alhamdulillah, understand more how people wromg doing , mistreated me... have to watch a few times to understand deeper
mashaallah this is the best episode and if you know a little bit of human psychology. All of Allah(SWT) ‘s prohibitions and the teaching of our Prophet AS are not restricting our life but to constantly teaching us how to reframe our thoughts so we will be happier smd for our own benefits
Masha Allah ❤️
Jazaka Allahu khyrn for yaqeen team❤
