"(6:32) And the worldly life is not but amusement and diversion; but the home of the Hereafter is best for those who fear Allah, so will you not reason?"
In this video, I explored how thinking about my possessions collecting dust underneath my bed got me thinking about the effects of exuding excessive meaning to sentiment, objects and this dunya in has held me back from developing into the storyline Allah (s.w.t) has written for me.
PS I beg you do not pause at those diary entries and poems, she was just going through it at ages 15-19 innit… allow me haha

I remember I once wrote "people think its not normal to go that deep, what they don't realize is it's not normal for me to not to into it that deep"
Okay, Real…… real real real
🥹❤️🩹
REAL.
I had a stroke trying to read this
@@leeluv4176 LOLL 😭 hope you got it afterwards, in simple words it's that going too deep into everything is the norm for me, I don't know any other way
i feel that when everyone became so addicted to social media and devices the problem of becoming so attached to a thing so trivial became worse for me (and probably others), because people rely on a device to do most of what they do in a day, like chatting, scrolling, ordering food, etc.
i hope people (including me) can learn to detach from social media and fully focus on our deen and iman, because we have the king of kings right in fromt of us, calling us to establish a relation with him (SWT)
somethign that tremendously helped me stopped scrolling is reading 2 pages of the Quran before any task, so like if I know I'm going to reply to some emails, or about to leave the house I'll read Quran and honestly it just puts you in a mental state to be more intentional about your tasks and just life in general. You realise how much time we are wasting... especially during these last few nights of Ramadan, let's try our best to make the most out of it!! You can do it Tasnim
Nothing tortures the soul and confuses the heart as much as attachment! Attachment is a feeling of lack, while love is a feeling of belonging.

love this
I was randomly suggested this video by you tube,but it doesn't seem like coincidence,lately i've been questioning many things,and being a muslim,I am questioning many things in Islam,but I will surely find my answers and regarding life i've been having similar kind of thoughts..to find meaning and to really detach is a long process,so lets get through the beautiful journey together my friend..
Thank you for this message! I definitely had to relearn Islam as an adult being a born Muslim and from my personal experience, it has been a wonderful process of insight and perspective and I hope you will be able to reconcile with the doubts in your head and find peace in a way that makes sense to you.
@@waysabiInshallah..thank you
Assalmualaikum, Allah wants us to learn about ourselves. He wants us to question so that we can get those answers from him. Genuinely, I think it's so we aren't blindly following, by that I mean , being those without knowledge. I genuinely hope you find those answers and genuinely connect with the deen, we are nearing the end of Ramadan, so I wish you the best.
i recommend you read the translation of the Qur'an like the clear Quran it's a good one & if u have questions u can ask them on the muslim lantern livestream. hope u get ur doubts answered. May Allah keep us steadfast on this path 🤲🏻💓
yes!! also quran.com is a great resource they have Ibn Kathir tafsir for free quran.com/12:57/tafsirs/en-tafisr-ibn-kathir so so so great@@ray___2002
everything about this video just HIT for me. I'm 16, Muslim girl and I'm going to college in a few months. the rest of this comment is basically a journal entry so read if you will,
I've been thinking about my younger self , how much I have changed and the points where I've changed. when I had motivation, the potential to how far I could have gotten but I haven't.
I'm going to be moving away from home soon for the very first time and I'm thinking about the amount of change that will happen to me, the change that I want to happen, how I will reminisce on my home but I am glad to leave all the negative memories behind. and that I'm happy to turn over a new leaf and essentially start life again for the first time.
your idea of wanting to be detached from meaningless things, I get that too. I'll find a journal entry from when I was 10 and start crying, in fact , a certain smell, listening to a song, or watching a show I watched when I was younger .. these all throw me into a deep sadness , especially in the last few weeks. but also don't feel frustrated, we're human after all. and ya rab may Allah help us stay focused on improving ourselves.
i don't ever normally comment on videos but I really feel this. keep being you, keep making these videos, I appreciate it.
You are so mature for 16!! Im so proud of you and I definitely had the same thoughts when I moved away when I was 17, you're doing so so well and I hope that you are giving yourself credit for reaching these realisations. May Allah protect you and your soft heart
JazakAllah Khayran, as a revert who recently turned 18 and really has zero idea where to begin with anything, this has truly and genuinely helped me. All of my life I was looking for something to make sense, I wanted to find my purpose. Coming from an atheist background and a mother who's heavily anti-religion, and then alhamdulillah finding Islam- it's been both thrilling and terrifying. I reverted but had no idea how to detach myself and to truly let Allah take care of everything. This video feels like the perfect sign and push for me to begin perusing the best version of myself. God bless you.
May Allah bless you with the best of both the worlds, Ameen❤
Same I'm 15 I js reverted like 3 days ago alhamduliah, but I don't know to be the best I can be
@@HannahBrowsleyAssalam o alikum ..i am so so so happy for both of you to revert to islam ..its just the immense pleasure that is taking over my heart ❤..a very warm welcome to this new life ..and you people are so lucky because you are just like a new birn baby wirh zero sins ..May Allah help you to become a good muslim ..you should join an islamic center or madrassah for gaining more knowledge about islam ..one thing i want to tell you that remaining firm in your beliefs and practicing islam in this era is very very difficult ...RasoolAllah Muhammad S.A.W gad said that in the last days of this world following islam will be just like holding fire in your hand ..(it will be as painfuk as holding fire) ..all the negative depiction of muslims in media has really brainwashed people and they will hurt you for being a muslim ..but just believe in Allah and asking help from him will help you ..i am always here to help you too ❤
I am so so so so so proud of you , this journey must not have been easy at all for you but Allah sees and knows this the most. I hope you have given yourself enough credit for making the realisations, sacrifices and efforts you have made at such a young age!! Seriously, so proud of you inshaAllah may Allah protect and guide you always giving you the biggest internet hug 🫂🫶
@@inertgas9857 jazakallah khair tysm💗 it is difficult especially with parents who are islamaphobic and having to break my fast at times because they won't allow me to eat late, but I put all my trust in Allah swt💗💗
I have the same exact feelings. I always get super sad when i think about my childhood a nostalgia and melancholy hits me bc i also think i was better before and super critical of where i’m now...
me too! especially after covid. I was extremly attached to elementary years and now i'm a high schooler
@@imanetimite8642 Yeah covid broke me too 😪
" I just want to become detached

" these are amazing
things because I am able to appreciate
life and see Beauty in life and
romanticize life and create very
meaningful relationships and be able to express
words in very beautiful ways I think it
does me really well.
however I worry
that this characteristic of mine causes
me to put my energy in the wrong places
and that backfires on me because this

SubhanAllah, real... all of these resonate very deeply.
I randomly clicked on this video without having the intention to watch it fully but wallah this made me relate so much
Honestly this hits deep. I'm 18, muslim girl and applying for uni. There is a lot of pressure to grow up and know what you want to be, do and need. Everything moves so fast and I feel like I can't catch up with things around me, including my home life, school and religion. I dwell on my younger self, my past happiness and saddness as a way to cope and forget the current moment. I hold a lot of attachment to my younger self and people in my life in a way that is more harmful than good, I want to deny it but I can't. It's scary to let go but i know I have to so I can truly happy and free. May Allah make it easier for all of us. Ameen
so much love... good luck with uni applications!!! inshaAllah you end up where you wish to be
everything you said in this comment resonates with me so much, may Allah guide us all ♡
wonderful cinematography, well put together. it's not easy to convert these complex thoughts into such articulate structure. takes a whole lot of clarity. well done and thank you
Thank you so much for your kind message!! I truly appreciate it
Thats true
alhamdulillah, i was meant to watch this video. i feel so light 💞
🤍
Wow, this is so crazy because idk my journeys been so random as well. Currently 18, I used to be a super secular muslim just like a few years back. Went back to my country due to lack of education in saudia for foreigners and that changed everything for me because.. i got to see the other side of the world where people struggle to get the basic necessities of life and im here crying about little meaningless things.. and in general just going into deep thoughts randomly whenever im free helps me so much and then i jus came across this video which relates so much w me .
Please keep posting such content and don't look at the view count because even if you get few views.. im sure they completely understand what you say!
inshallah make dua for me that I can continue making videos from a place with the right and genuine intentions
Jazakallahu khairan for this video; it resonates deeply with me. I used to be quite emotional when reminiscing about my childhood, but now, when those feelings arise, I remind myself that this world is temporary. As we grow, we all move forward in our lives, and it's natural to part ways. Instead of dwelling on the past, I find comfort in knowing that in Jannah, we will be reunited with our loved ones. This belief helps me stay focused on my self-development journey. Thank you for this beautiful reminder :)
im so proud of you!!
Hopefully this will stay anonymous.
I had a great year in 2022, there were a lots of downs but a lot of ups just to compensate them, I lost a family member in 2022, I had become a mere clump of cells that would just move for the sake of sanity. My friends, theyre lovely. They got me through it. I spent the whole of 2023 to get over them, about how nice the people were because I recently had to get accustomed to a new surrounding because i joined a new institution for my academics. I thought and sometimes still think of myself as patches of memory, laid in the sun to dry out. I think, I know Alhumdulilah that im startingto get better, may Allah SWT help me and all of us in becoming better versions of ourselves. Jazaak’Allah
So refreshing and exactly what I needed to hear. Feel like I’ve lost “myself” since moving places, not being around the same people, not being able to afford the things I want. I tied so much of my identity to physical things and felt sentimental about things that can have meaning without physically being around me/belonging to me. If you lose everything as a Muslim, but still have your islam that’s the ONLY thing that matters. This is such a beautiful perspective thank you for sharing with us. May Allah reward you and fill your life with goodness and light 💞❤️💞❤️💞
You are so right!!! no thank YOU for sharing with me
I don't feel like watching this video was a coincidence cuz I relate to this so much, and this is exactly what I've been going through recently. It's almost like it was a sign from Allah swt, alhamdulillah
Thank you so much for this message, it really spoke to me 💖
I too struggle with letting go of old things, be it material possessions or relationships, but I never thought that "relationships" would include the one I have with my old self. I can kind of see that I'm obsessed with holding on to how I felt months or even years ago, fearing that if I let it go then it meant nothing.
But I'm slowly beginning to realize that it's okay to let that go. It doesn't mean that those relationships or your suffering meant nothing. In fact it's their temporary nature that makes them so important. They came in your life for a time to teach you something, and now its time for something new to take that place.
This video felt really soothing and also quite relatable. Thank you again!
Lately, I’ve been revisiting past experiences, particularly negative ones, and because of that I’ve been sorta grieving how “if my younger self met me right now, she would be devastated.” Until now, that has been my source of motivation to pursue my journey of discipline and change since it angered me how my younger self would’ve wanted best for me, which I could not achieve. But watching this video offered me a new perspective, and it reminded me that all these things have past. While I will still continue to use these experiences to fuel my inner drive, my younger self would also think I deserve a peace of mind.
Thank you sm for offering this new insight and because of this I look forward to your future videos 💗💗
There are so many circumstances around us we are so unaware of, your younger self wouldn’t have known that your life would have stopped because there was a pandemic, or that would’ve been hardships placed in your life beyond your control limiting your potential, we can’t hold ourselves to expectations from our past selves who don’t know what current you has gone through - this makes us perceive ourselves from an unfair and biased lens which hold us back from realising that maybe what your past self wanted isn’t what you need and there’s also that potential that if you had achieved what you had hoped to achieve by now, there’s no certainty that you would be happier, more content, more secure. We don’t know of certainty of the lives and situations we have not lived yet, so the best we can do is find contentment in where we already are and just give your best in whatever you do and if you know you’re doing those two things, that is enough ^_^
@@waysabi Thank you for this wonderful message! 💗 I really needed that and I will continue being grateful for my current circumstances rather than dwelling too much on “what I could’ve been” that is being held by the version of myself that has past. Although that admittedly will be quite difficult, I am slowly coming to accept that there was only so much I could do at the time, and I must let go to prioritize doing what’s best for the current me. ^o^
Me too! I have this maladaptive day dreaming problem, so I have fantasized alot about meeting the past me and changing things. But I have read that Allah doesnt like it when you look back at the past and say I wished this had happened, it should have been like this etc. I think its in a Quran verse somewhere. So that's how I'm controlling it because I want to try my best to please Allah and in turn I also suffer less.
tell me if you find the verse!
Before watching this video, I did not even realise I was so attached to old versions of myself. I often think that the true version of me was me in the past, when I was so passionate and motivated and fit more standards held by this dunya. I feel the current version of me is ruined and altered, someone who’s not really me. I think of past versions of myself and think about my potential; I stay up thinking about all the things I could’ve achieved and all the different decisions I could’ve made, so that I wouldn’t become the person that I am right now.
What you made me realise is that the only version of me that exists now is my current version. The past me no longer exists, it only exists in our deceitful reconstructive memory that are constantly changing depending on our ever changing perceptions.
I think it’s time to work towards not having this lack mentality which causes us to overthink about our decisions, about what we lost in the way, about what we could’ve been.
May Allah help us detach from this dunya, and remember how every stage in our life only exists for a tiny fraction in the time line of the universe, how everything is meaningless except when we submit our will to Allah.
May Allah guide us and make it easier for us, Ameen.
(Jazakallah khair for making such a beautiful and inspiring video)
Thanks sister, It's floating in my feed for some days, and today after dhuhar salat I suddenly cried a river and now watching this video❤
As an overly sentimental person, i loved everything about this videooo❤
Beautiful reflection and reminder mashaAllah, jazakAllah khair!
soo happy i came across your channel, subscribed immediately
thank you for this
criminally underrated channel, I love these kinds of videos/reminders. jazakallah khair sis
I loveeee your intro hahahah
this is so well created pls do more!!
oh how much i needed to hear this, thank you
This was a good video mashallah. Def needed this
I’m here for the cinematic Vlogs🥰 so nice!
This was so well-made, and so well articulated, MashaAllah
Thank you for posting this. I really needed to hear this ❤
May Allah reward you for reframing my mindset
Thank u for ur delightful content
where have you been!😭 I needed this video so bad
May Allah bless you!🤍
Allahumma Baarik. JazakAllah Khairan for this video! 🫂🌙🫶🏻
i’m so happy to see fellow 16-20 year olds in this section 🖤 this video is truly a light, thank you for illuminating what many of us were avoiding / pushing down and not giving enough thought. having goals is so crucial, both in this duniya and the hereafter, but you must not let anything or anyone consume you.
the shots, the cinematography, the editing, your noor, this video is a masterpiece. 🫶
This is so well done. Mashallah
I think I’m scared to admit that I’ve lost and overgrown everything from my past
This was wonderful! Thank you❤
ive never come across your channel before, nor do i ever really post comments online, but wow!! i feel so seen. i really resonate with what youre saying. im really trying to focus on detaching myself from this wordly life and just focus on being the best version of myself that i can be - spiritually, emotionally, physically. our brothers and sisters in palestine have really shown us that material possessions mean nothing - they come and go but deen and imaan are forever. may Allah grant them victory over their oppressors, and may we do all that we can to support and uplift them!
such a profound video ❤
Alhamdulillah thank you so much for this 💌
This is so simple yet so brilliant. Thank you ❤
this is beautiful. keep it going! lots of love ❤
hey. you're so relatable. thanks for this video. salam
i cried sm watching this. May Allah SWT reward you for this reminder :)
this video was just randomly recommended to me as if a sign because what you said is everything i needed to hear for this predicament i’m in and this video has made me steadfast in my decision,, i feel this is such a sign from Allah and it makes me emotional because it’s just so beautiful how he works, i cant thank you enough and i’m so grateful for Allah 💗
jazakhallah khair
Thank you for sharing this with us, the world. Such an eloquent video and cinematically pleasing.
You earned another new subscriber akhi, that's exactly what I needed to hear I am so glad I found this channel🥺💗
awesome cinemotagraphy❤
Same same same same ! I cant get over a time period ,or a place ive left amd things that happned at that place 😭 it serves no good but the flashbacks are very baddd and haunt me theyre not even a bad memory
This was very thought provoking may Allah reward you for inspiring me to strive to be better for my akhira🫶🏼
This video came at the PERFECT time for me. Thank you so much for your words! Brilliant video!!
This really hit deep tbh. I am also a deeply emotional and sentimental person and while I love that I am able to feel things so deeply it had hurt me more than I think is normal. I have also noticed that I tend to be more attached to people and our relationship with each other than they would. Looking back to how life was and literally grieving places, people, friendships, experiences and parts of me than no longer exist has become so unhealthy, and like you mentioned, affects self-development and being able to just let go and focus on what is actually important. I don't want to become completely indifferent to my memories and parts of my life because they are still a part of me and made me who I am today, but I want to be able to develop a healthy way of reminiscing without grieving and wasting tears on something that is long gone. They were there at that point of time because that's what was best for me then, and they are no longer there because that is what is now best for me. I also like to think the reason why things changed or were taken away from me is Allah's way of helping me stop being so attached to things that won't matter in the long run. It adds to character development and spiritual growth. Afterall this Dunya is temporary.
It does feel freeing when things you used to get so sentimental about have less of an emotional impact on you than before. And what helps the most with that is remembering the end goal, which is Jannah, and that this earth is not our forever home.
This was a much needed video, thank you!
I resonate deeply with this video because we are so similar in many ways.
i really needed this i too hbe this issue of being iberly sentimental about people and situations in my life that arent even present anymore. i find myself keeping everything from that time and i do wanna let go but i cant seem to do it. but this realy helped thank you sister
this is the first video ive seem from u u seem really sweet maşallah i felt like watching myself 🩷
"so which of the favours of your lord will u deny"
soubhan'allah i'm so grateful I found your channel my iman has been going down so thank youuuu may Allah help you and make you from the people of paradise amiin
Ma shaa Allah ♥️
Thank you for this 💌
why did you come up on my recommended bro mashaAllah this is so cool! ur production is amazing
ARIANAA WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE
Thank you for this
Right timing, thank you Allah for this message thank you for always guiding me ❤😢
I found myself comparing my current self who is struggling to make it through academically and socially with younger versions of myself where I was bright and had friends. It made me feel like a failure despite the work I've been doing on myself to be more accountable for myself. I penned a letter to the version of myself that wants to stay safe and seek familiar patterns, for reaching me where I am but also letting it go because it's holding me back more than it is pushing me forward. Your video affirms this decision I've taken for myself, thank you so much!
I love this video ❤
Felt like i was talking to myself knowing your ideas...
I love the cinematography and the production of this video and the topic!!!!
Jazakhallah khair! :)
The subtitles color made me subscribe your channel, go on sister
this video really made me think about why i care about alot of things that dont necessarily mean as much in my life or in the afterlife, thank u for your beautifully articulated and well put video, may Allah swt increase u in all blessings, knowlegde, happiness, contentment and closeness too him
Love your editing style and the background footage..love the message, truly not talked about enough. May God make it easy for us melodramatic melancholic girls to live and let go ~
aminnn
this was so refreshing, thank you so much for this video. and also your editing style is absolutely wonderful ❤️
thank you so much!! jazakhallah khair
Sister ❤❤❤this is so relatable ,am watching the video right now and commenting on the first part,
I had this study table when I was like 8yrs old back in 2007,i spent all my studying and journaling on it,like you said i had many dairies of my older self which icant recognise anymore,i still have that study table with me ( am 26 now married and a mother of a 3yr old)when i got married i was stubborn to keep this furniture in my room,i couldn't leave this table,donno why,so many memmories attached to it.I hope to pass this table to my daughter when she starts her schooling inshallah,any how i cant get rid of it,a small child in me cant imagine losing her fav table
Omg! You think exactly like me. i have been feeling so lost in life and this video was exactly what I needed to hear. glad to know that people like you exist, because unfortunately Im surrounded with people who are chasing this dunya and temporary attachments. I tried, but cant find fulfilment in it. Jazakallah khair for the video, hope to meet you some day!!
search within!!! fulfillment can be found in other people but similarly it can be found within yourself and in your connection with Allah swt inshaAllah, I hope you find people that best fit your outlook in life and encourage you to become the best version of yourself, its what you deserve
Thank you so much for making this video, this really made me realize on how much I have in this life. Seeing all the people on social media has made me greedy for the things I lacked. Your words have left a positive impact on me and I believe this is a sign from Allah. May Allah bless you sustenance for the knowledge you gave us
yes be picky with what you consume! Honestly I've logged out of Instagram and refrained from watching stories, or even scrolling, I muted most people on Instagram and tried as much as I could to focus on my own journey especially bc im at a state of my life where I do feel like I'm left behind so as much as you can inshallah with Allah's guidance, I hope you can focus on your own journey, it's the most important one
and jazakhallah khair, thank you for such kind words!!
I am grateful that Allah gives me the opportunity to watch this amazing video ❤
I am a muslim girl from Morocco .... I really like your personality...and your thoughts are so deep 😢
This video couldn't have come to me at such a perfect time, I went through this struggle for three whole years after graduating, I felt so lost and hopeless, I felt like I was stuck and just detached myself from things that benefited me and attached myself to my "past" where I felt like I was at the best point in my life, my life felt like it was spiralling, until this Ramadan came, I started feeling myself again after so long, I stopped using my phone as much and instead went on long walks, my mind has been clearer since I started letting go, I kept feeling like the past was the only place I belonged, but I was wrong, Alhamdulillah that I'm not alone in this journey of letting go of the past, It felt like everyone else had their lives sorted and I was the only one not moving on, finally something I can actually relate to, jazakallah sis, may Allah accept Your ibadah, give you peace and happiness and allow you to flourish♥️
1:27
I, all this time thought that only my brain(me) feels like this.
thank you
شُكراً.
Subhanallah!!
Not Ali dawah😭. I liked the video though and I can appreciate the effort you put into editing this. Anyways, I agree with what you said about detaching from this dunya and being able to live a fulfilled life once you get to that point. I feel like I’ve also been trying to do the same thing because otherwise your happiness begins to lie on your life circumstances. Yes everyone has sad moments but you just won’t be at peace when something bad happens. However, I just don’t know how to detach. It’s like how do I even go about doing that? I feel like that’s something I’ve been trying to figure out for some time now. It feels like I’m trying to solve a puzzle lol.
You have to be conscious in your decisions towards detachment. When you find your mind wandering towards things you don't know is going to happen, has already happened and you can't do anything to change that happening etc etc you have to stop yourself and then go through a list in your mind about what about your current situation are you grateful for. It might also help with actively removing things which make you wonder, delete that chat, unfollow those people, throw that diary away etc etc I guess that would be my best advice!! Thank you for your comment!
- not ali dawah
@@waysabi thank you I will def keep that in mind!
What are the things we find ourselves attached to in this life that may not be necessarily relevant or present anymore in our lives and how is it affecting our self-development process?
I've been attached to the person I was before covid and grieving the person who I was - the person who had ambition and drive to get things done, the person who had passions in life. But once covid happened, I seemed to loose everything and it felt like I was failure in life, useless, defected, hopeless and I had pretty much mentally gaved up on life, with no hope of a future where I would become a better person.
Mentally I'm better, my circumstances are better, and I have hope, but my actions and bad habits that resulted from these negative self-concepts have made me stagnant, feeling stuck in life for years now, feeling so far behind everyone, ashamed of the person I've become and avoiding talking about my struggles so people don't see me such a bad state, feeling completly alone in life depsute being surrounded by peoppe and unsure how to pull myself up and push myself towards the right direction.
It went from being attached to the person I was before covid to now being attached to that hopeless version of myself, and not letting go of that pain and memories.
I really appriate what you said in the end, about remembering there are things that are much, much bigger than ourselves and to use Islam as a guiding light, and asking what Islam says. This life is so fast paced and can feel so overwhelming, that a daily reminder that this dunya is not the answer to our problems and should not be what we hold closest to our hearts, but that Allah, An-Noor, Al- Haadi, At taw-waab is what should fill our hearts.
It takes a lot to recognise and process the states you were in, reflecting upon what about it made you unhappy, and wanting to take the necessary steps to "un-stuck" yourself (whilst also being self-aware about the detrimental parts of your behaviour at that point in time). Give yourself credit and inshaAllah, with Allah's guidance, you'll be able to see how far you've come and that should push you to keep going and accept the person you are today!
Your videos are so beautiful! Allahuma barik!
jazakhallah khair!!
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS. This really resonated with me, I feel so much less alone ❤
Alhamdulilah ❤
Alhamdulilah ❤
im js ab to watch this but wanted to say ur sooo pretty allahuma barik 🥺
Mashallah no girl , you you it's you who are hahaha
What an incredible video. I've never seen anything more relatable. You hit all the right topics, everything I've felt and am feeling now that I'm done with my high school boards. I have my uni entrance exam in 3 days, and it's challenging, but instead of focusing on studying, I start to think about all the relationships that went wrong, how one of my close friends turned out to be a supporter of the terrorist apartheid 'state' that's butchering Palestinians (Don't get me wrong, I don't regret 'losing' that friend, it's better I know their real face), how I wasted so much of my precious time with a guy who eventually took the Shahadah(which I'm sure was heavily motivated by his 'love' for me; he knew that I would only ever be with a Muslim man. He liked me and I kinda sorta liked him at some point but ew anyways), learnt the Deen with so much interest, asked me for more about the faith and then randomly decided one day that polytheism made more sense, how everyone seems to give zero crap about our history, our moments together, all the laughs we shared even if they were brief and how I think about them all the time. I could go on. But this video put a lot of things into perspective. Thank you. May Allah reward you with the highest ranks of Jannah.
Ps: I want to clarify that I don't date and have never dated, if the stuff about the guy in the above paragraph gave that idea. We've never even shook hands (obviously). I wasted my time by texting him, he had me believe that he was finding Allah. When I told my best friend how he said that he found 'peace' in polytheism, when he had thanked me just a month earlier for guiding him to Allah, she told me, "Let's see if that peace lasts in Akhirah". LOL.
Alhamdulillah,, I found this video ❤❤
SUCH A BEAUTIFUL POST! GO GIRL! I have worked for more than 10years now, at the end of last year just got moved to a different position and I was really pushing myself really hard to work through it all. lack of sleep, anxiety kicked in, my hand had frequent tremors and ears ringing. this year I got laid off with hundreds of people. I realized I had worked myself so hard and felt I was wasting my time for Dunya. From the severance pay the first thing I really wanted to do was go to Umrah. I did and safe to say none of the physical nervous systems were activated recently. I know that giving myself to this Dunya wasn't going to be profitable for me in the Afterlife. Still trying to figure out what to do next, but I know what I need to avoid :) Hasbunallah Wanikmal Wakil Nikmal Maula Wanikman Nasir
You have no idea how this spoke to me. Alhamdulilah this video came like a clarification of my deen struggles. You've put into words what I've been thinking for the past few days. Barak Allahu feek ❤
mashallah! im just a girl, just sharing her thoughts and feelings - it's you (with the guidance of Allah) who worked it out in your head, I just pushed you closer to reaching it
this video felt like a breath of fresh air
no YOU are a breath of fresh air
I’m sharing with you same mindset but people around us thinks that we are mentally ill, we are hopeless about life etc. Actually I don’t feel attachment with anything but Allah and I’m feeling excited about after life. Sometimes I feel exhausted when people sorry about me like “what a young age to think about death and have no passion about life” actually I’m feeling sorry for them!
wallahi i thought that when i was 11, like growing up Muslim, we're taught to prepare for death so early and it does make you existential as a child, but having this frame of mind helps so much when you deal with hardships and I'm so so so grateful to be muslim and to come full circle with it. I do think it's still important to have a balance of the both though - we have to be passionate about life to be able to fulfill some of the demands of the dunya which are interrelated to the relationships important to us like being a good daughter, a good sister etc and these are just as important to getting into jannah inshallah... we have to use the tools of this dunya to be able to be well prepared for what's to come after
Allahuma barik ❤this video is very nice and beneficial thank you and may Allah bless you and everyone who watched this video ✨
such a sweet comment
thank you sister. may allah bless you with the best in this life and the hereafter. a beautiful message. captivating cinematography. keep going.
love you girl, jazakhallah khair
I am so happy to find your video at this particular time alhamduliLlah its like a sign ! I recently broke my hardrive with all my pictures and videos of me and my close ones since I was a kid... I was really sad after that, knowing that I will probably never see them again. I was really really really attach to those memories but now they're gone, but al hamduliLlah I know that everything happens for a reason and maybe its because, rightly, I was too attached to them and that I need to let go of them to move on and let go of the past and detach like you said ❤
Thank you for sharing your thoughts it really helps ☺💗
Nooo im so sorry that would break my heart but thank you for sharing this too served me a reminder because I tend to sit in my bed and reopen years of memories on my hard-drive, it's funny I didn't even process of that being a potential for me and a reminder of how that too is an attachment object haha...
Thank you ❤❤❤ And continue enjoying those moment in your bed with all these memories (and dont forget to save them on another hard-drive not like me lol 😂)@@waysabi
Nostalgia is something I suffer from unfortunately. I have problems, but I want to not care about it and understand that we need to move on. I have things like being lonely for the whilst times and whatnot.
this is such an amazing video, I truly mean it. I am so happy Allah made me watch this video. May Allah reward you and May Allah ease for us the journey of detaching ourselves from this temporary life. Ameen.
You are so sweeet!!
Random suggested, this if for me!
You are such a great person sweetheart♥️ I am going to be sixteen and will move to college I always think that I am way to much different than other my classmates are weird they only talk about boys crush marriages and babies I am done of all these my old self always wanted a friend whom can understand me make me feel loved and good but after getting betrayed by each and everyone now I feel good because I have the bestest friend which is my Rab Allah .Do remember me in your prayers love and IN SHA ALLAH I'll do the same love you are such a sweet person ♥️💖
Girl i was just overthinking about this subject and suddenly this video appeared 😭😭😭😭😭 ya Allah I really needed it tysm sis. I'm going to be 18 and i have final exams to go to college and I'm stuck in my thoughts, i want to leave this dunya it's so bad , I can't focus in my studies and i had alot of breakdowns but the only good thing is that i became a hijabi 1 month ago alhamdulilah
Everything will be alright, I'm on the same boat as you, I'm rooting for you dw💗🥺
Hi waysabi..assalamu alikum..i m so gladddd that i gotta come accross this video…the fact that there are people like me in this world calms me down…like you,i have documented my life through diaries and iam scared to let go of it…the fact that we all are aware of who we are and still is hard to detach from people and places is something we all need to ponder upon…the fact that we feel things so deeply is good and bad at the same time…
Anywayss may allah give us strength and may allah guide us..
You should acknowledge the person you used to be, but refrain from desiring being that person again!! May Allah protect you inshallah, thank you for your comment!
