i used to be that type of student who did their best on test ,study hard ,but ungrateful with my result ,i was like "it's not enough,i have to put lot more effort" instead of "alhamdulillah ,all praised to Allah for the ease in everything and for the knowledge" ,i used be slave to achievement ,ungrateful and depress now i feel ×10000million better ,i change my mindset to be more grateful of any achievement ,whether it is good or bad ,always says "Alhamdulillah, i seek these knowledges for the sake of Allah ,Ya Rabb ,everything i do is to please You"
I am a Christian but I have been following your videos because of your wisdom and knowledge...You bring us together with your knowledge. God bless you.
18:22 "Trying ur best doesn't look the same every single day, trying ur best is a day to day thing " I feel like this was the thing I needed to hear today thank u
19:06 “Do not attach yourself to your goals.” It seems obvious, but it is too easy to fall into the habit of attaching self worth to accomplishments. I’m glad you talked about this, sister ❤
I love these dawaa’s, they are acknowledging non-muslims and muslims, may Allah write them in ur hassnaat (deeds) my dear sister, NEVER stop this content, helps alot❤
3:50 It reminds me of a verse: Matthew 6:25-30 26 Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27 Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?
Messenger of Allah (Muhammed s.a.w) said: "If you were to rely upon Allah with the required reliance, then He would provide for you just as a bird is provided for, it goes out in the morning empty, and returns full."
I made dua this morning asking for guidance while feeling lost and incapable of reaching my goals. These words were exactly what I needed to hear. Thank you.
Farah, salamun alaykum. This is the first time I've come across your video. I am Turkish and Muslim. For a while, as you said in the video, I had a shaken faith. Muslims don't believe in coincidence so I think Allah showed you to me. I cried at the part where you said that Allah is protecting me from something. Thank you very much... Lots of love from Turkey.💚
I’m not Muslim, but I truly love to hear so many different ideologies and beliefs. The way you speak of faith is something I can relate from my own spiritual endeavours. I love how you spoke throughout the video. It was so insightful and came from such a beautiful place of strong faith. May you be blessed always 💗🪷
you dont know how much i needed this right now. I asked God to speak to me today and he spoke to me through you. Until i am right with him i will never be ready for so many of the blessings he has prepared for me. I know he wants to bless me but he wants me to be strong in him first. Bismillah what a beautiful message. Allah bless you thank you!!!!!
@User-gp4pb so is every prophet of God in biblical terms. In fact, some prophets are not just called lords, sons of God, but gods. These are just biblical language.
This came at the right time honestly, I was literally wondering why a certain group of girls didn’t want to be my friend and I really want to be their friends. I have no clue why I want to be their friends if I’m being honest, and I tried everything to try and be their friends yet they don’t feel the same way and it made me feel down and I started to question what’s wrong with me and why is Allah not allowing us to be friends. But honestly whatever is meant for me will not miss me and now I feel so much better. Thank you 100times for these videos wallahi they are so beneficial and so helpful. May Allah reward you for these videos and may he grant you jannah ameen
I remember when I was in high school I literally wrote as my New Years resolution to get this girl who was the most popular girl in school to be my friend, I ended up being not one of the popular but got a group of friends who went through school not caring what the popular sir others thought of them and didn’t care if they were considered weird or nerds but just had fun and they are the ones who had the best experience of school
The best thing about this was when you said "we should not attach ourselves to our goals". A few months back I was working on some of my goals (build a legal support system for domestic violence victims coz I was one of them) But while doing that some people started to play dirty politics and tried to remove me from this path coz its perks were - position and larger public visibility. I felt like a failure coz I couldn't achieve my goal. This was the first time I tried to move on with my life and prove that I've still got it. But when it ended up that way I just shattered. I'm still caving and avoiding people but this sentence of yours made me see things in a diff way. I'm not my goal. I'm me, I'm breathing and doing well SubhanAllah. Yes I tried but I will only get what my destiny is. And also I learnt that i should not care about what people think about me when they see me as a "failure" just coz I'm not running after my work and success just like them. Coz I'm not JUST my profession. I'm me, Im my whole person. Thank you Farah❤
Adila. You are not a failure. This what has been in my mind for past weeks too. And alhamdulillah Allah guide me (and you) to listen to what we should need to hear at the moment. The way Farah explained, to “being” instead of “gasping” and “constantly in wanting state”. That got to me. It describe my situation.
@linaishak4554 jazakillah khairan kaseera for these kind words Lina. Glad to know you watch these videos and follow Farah too. Your comment was a very pleasant and heart touching surprise. Thank you so much once again for the positivity. I agree we are definitely not a failure and even more so, you are not at all a failure. You inspire me a lot the more I speak to you each time. It's not easy to take care of another human you don't even know and try to save their life with all that you can the Will of Allah. And to be humble enough to use the rest of the time in getting closer to Allah, that is very beautiful.❤️ I hope someday we fulfill all our dreams that we wish we could live sooner in sha Allah..there's so much to change in the world and there's a lot of saving to do. But first, there's the saving we need to do of our own selves from the scars others may have given that shape the way we think ourselves. We are definitely nit how people made us to feel in our worst of times, we are much more worthy than what our heart refuses to believe. May Allah use us to serve people and influence them in better ways too. Aameen
I LOVE what you're doing here sis. I think when muslims and nonmuslims talk about Islam, generally, it's about the laws, do's-and-don'ts, how 'restricting' it is but we rarely talk about how liberating Islam is. It gives us a lens through which to view this world. A way to interpret what we experience. And I think that's so important in building a healthy mind/mindsets (like how when you see someone and you understand that that is their rizq). As a Muslim, I feel like you could never lose. There's always good behind everything that happens to us. Things are often tough, yes, and yet, He won't test you more than you can bear. Like how can you argue with that? Keep doing what you're doing Farah, rooting for you :)
this video came on the youtube algorithm and it changed me. "you are not your goals ", spoke to me the most and within this dunya we're constantly chasing this and that. the state of being is what we should be striving for, our self worth doesn't come come from our achievements nor the titles and possessions we have, but from our character and the simpler things in life. may Allah bless you.
Her thought process is what islam teaches. Islam isn't just a religion it's a complete way of life that teaches us positivity among other aspects of how to conduct ourselves in this life.
@@danzai9455this is not the way to give dawah, if you don't know how to give dawah, then don't. Just pray for them privately. Comments like this help others make fun of Islam.
One thing that stuck with me was when you said, stop wanting and start being .... like that's something I wanna apply to my life .. let things flow just just way they are, let it be And stop wanting it to be another way, cuz it's literally in ur riqz for it to be that way, and its the best way Allah choose for you. ❤ Loved listening to you, looking forward to the next one
8:50 “if something you’re pursuing isn’t successful at the moment it’s almost like Allah is protecting you”, or something like that. I like that way of thinking because I believe that everything happens for a reason, the good and the bad, and if something stops me from being successful I should probably learn a lesson from that or look at a situation from a different angle. I’m not Muslim but I respect all religions and your videos speak to me, I trust your wisdom. Please keep up the good work ♥️ and I’m very interested in “can’t hurt me” now :)
I think it is very important to set goals and work towards something for the sake of Allah. You should never live your life empty without a purpose/mission. However what you should not be attached to is the results. Because Allah does not look at the result he looks at your effort.
15:30 I actually find peace in the concept of destiny. For example, when a person believes all their destiny is within their hands, failure is going to hit hard. Because it’s all your fault it was all your responsibility unlike if you believe in destiny, I feel like you will do your best in order to be at the right place at the right time but if you say you are you don’t get what you were waiting for it’s OK you got it just wasn’t meant to happen in that moment. I don’t know how to word this out. I don’t know if it makes sense but yeah.😅
I asked Allah (swt) a question and this vdo of yours was Alhamdulillah His answer to it. Jazakallah Khairan for making this vdo. Your wisdom is simply unbelievable!
in the world of manifestation and people preaching 'create your dream life' which in itself isn't bad but considering how mainstream it has become, this video is everything
I'm not muslim, I'm christian but this came on my feed and I am glad I watched this. I've always been told I should make a TH-cam channel and always wanted too but never had the confidence too but lately it's been coming on me for some reason. Like you said, which made me think, what if this is the time for me to start now and not then? I love the way you explain things.
The advice about living in the moment instead of wanting more and more really spoke to me. rn I need to decide what to do next and I feel overwhelmed and miserable because I can't predict my life and what is right to do, despite me trying my hardest. It's hard for me to let go of overthinking but I'll try my best to focus on what is happening now. Thank you :)
6:48 " It was Allah who made it easy on me to get closer to him".. Indeed, if there wasnt the guidance of Allah, we would never be able to find the true path. Alhamdulillah...
I was so worried and stressed about not getting accepted into my dream college. I didn't know what to do next. I was praying to god to give me some sort of sign to move on. I just opened youtube and the first video was this. I'm gonna take this as a sign from god.
I have tried a numerous amount of times to get into/finish my medical degree and I keep running into obstacles. I have been trying to figure out every which way and trying to also tell myself it's just not meant to be, and this video is really helping me come to terms with my future. I will happily look into business as it has always been an interest of mine, just never something I considered as a career. Thank you for this beautiful thought Farah, may Allah swt bless you for this act of kindness!
This video came to me in a dire time of need Alhamdulillah. We think it's us, it's our plans, our hard work, everything that is to be done is to be done by us, and in the chase we forget the true essence of everything. How things work. How no matter what we do even if we take the wrong decision but have total faith and dependency on Allah swt we will always be guided. I think it was so important for me to realise the concept of rizq. Nothing that we get is due to US, it's due to Allah, and him alone. Putting faith in your capability is nothing because your capability is not because of YOU, it's him whose given it to you. So if you put your faith in Allah swt, he will give it in you to do whatever you think you can or cannot do. Relying on yourself comes with so many thoughts, can I do this, am I good enough, i can't do this etc etc but relying on Allah swt with full faith will make your questions go away. Yes, you are not capable of doing ANYTHING by yourself but everything is possible for Allah swt. So ask him, and believe in his capability only. There is so much of relief, comfort in the thought that if Allah wills it for you, it can happen. We have no power except what is given by Allah swt. Anything that we get or don't get is to be attributed to Allah's command and not to us. You work hard and get something doesn't mean you had the power to make it happen. Allah swt made it happen for you, even if some people fail to acknowledge it. They think it's because if their capability forgetting who gave it to them in the first place. We are nothing without Allah swt. May Allah swt forgive and guide us all Ameen. 14:0214:5015:07
Have mighty, great expectations of The creator of the heavens and earth like He deserves to be.. complete trust in the one with vast knowledge, what you want could be like a needle,A needle in the ocean , and Allah may be trying to give you even more than that , so you never have loses nor rejections you're simply just being redirected to something even better,greater as long as you are patient and working hard. As Allah stated in the quran "It could be that you dislike something, when it is good for you; and it could be that you like something when it is bad for you. Allah knows, and you do not know."
honestly i needed this so much. thank you Farah for continuing making content it helps so many people like me who are young and want to remain on the right path of Islam while trying to juggle the things of the world and wanting things that others have. literally made my friday and changed my mindset
Mash'Allah sister i like the way you convey your message as much as it seems simple but people sometimes get to attached with their own Ego as if they are the one who controls their own Rizk and baraka in their lives, I'm from Egypt and i pray to Allah that you be always blessed and on the straight path.
My favorite part of this video is how genuine you convey your talking points with life based experience specifically our goals don’t define us and how sometimes you get so blunt and brash it makes you almost sound like you’re voice is going to crack/you’re tearing up. That’s the passion I appreciate and feel while listening to this podcast. This is my second one, my first was confidence. Keep up the amazing work.
I love how you highlight that people tend to attcach themselves with their goals because of the whole hustle culture thing. And it's true, I'm so blinded by it that it left me heartbroken when I don't achieve my goals. I am well aware of this as a muslim that we shouldn't be too attached by worldly goals but you bringing it up make it so convincing and sort of comforting to hear for me. That I shouldn't doubt myself. Keep going sister, thank you for the enlightenment.
1:12 i love the moments in ur videos when u talk about u and ur mom, smth so wholesome about seeing how righteous parents play a part in the lives of their children 🤍
I wish I had found this video sooner, when I failed my driving test 5 times in a row and had the biggest mental breakdown of my life. I guess I wasn't meant to be a driver at that time. Considering the insane amount of car accidents around my area in the past year I guess it maybe protected me from something...
I love the way you speak. Especially when you talk about how your goals do not define who you are. It sounds like common sense but for some reason I never told myself that. I love to just listen to what you say getting ready in the morning.
I'm not a muslim but i found this video touching and your words wise. I beat my self up a lot for not fitting in with certain groups of people in my university. They are people i like (without really knowing them tho) but i can't blend in. This is my sign to stop trying so hard and show some respect and love to myself
david goggins is like one of my biggest motiovation souls on this earth. he helped me so much through my hardest time. love the fact that you also adore him! i also like your own way of thinking and i'm christian. much respect to you sister! thank you for bringing us together here! :)
✰14:23 This is definitely my favourite part. I've never thought about this before. Being a part of the subliminal community (as a Christian) had manipulated me to believe that I, myself could control my destiny; my life is mine...like that. But that explanation, the concept about how we may be able to do everything we can do but its literally impossible to control what the world does, only God can, that's just life-changing for me. I'm at an age where there's a few goals i absolutely need to accomplish, and being so overwhelmed by it I turned to the concept of "manifestation" and subliminals and all that The ironic part is that the whole reason why I even clicked on this video was because I thought you'd be justifying the concept of "what is meant for you will find you" and that's in a way, the essence of manifestation, except for that we are kinda forcing ourselves to believe what those things that we want in life are actually, "meant for us" and that when we do that, things will...idk align for us or smth. But all the same, I am a Christian, and I believe in God, and part of me was like manifestation is just a way of getting what's meant for you but faster, but I wasn't sure if that really contradicted my faith in God and all that. This video had clarified EVERYTHING. i dont know if anything i just stated makes sense but yeah i'm so grateful to have listened to this podcast
I normally never get really engaged with a TH-camr but when I listen to what you have said, I can’t stop. So many great reminders and you have a brilliant way of providing explanations
Goals may change but for betterment of own..That's actually Hikmah of Allah..❤..We at end will be happy realising we got what's excellent instead of what's good..❤ Alhamdulliah
i think the only thing i would add is that dua can change qadr (predestination), and that we still need to act and make strides towards whatever that is which we are seeking and trying to achieve. like yes everything is written but combining dua with action can definitely shape outcomes. but overall i really loved this video! jzk sister
the way you talk about things with such insight and knowledge is amazing. you explain things so well and give a good understanding of your point. alhamdulillah sister your knowledge is incredible.
I just got divorced, and this video just popped up on my feed. I really needed this more than you know ❤ May Allah bless you ❤ you gained a new subscriber
She is so cute!!! i am in a very hard lifetime rn but she helped me so much… i need to really let go of things i can’t control but it is very hard for me
i listen to self improvement podcasts and all that, a bunch of youtube videos and influencer trying to give advice, i don't really finish them honestly, but this one actually makes sense and is so properly explained in depth, this actually made me feel better in what im doing.
yes it takes time to fully realize your true destiny. it isn't always what you want today or tomorrow or in this season of your life. your goals and desires- both long and short term- may just be sign posts for you to follow right now on the way to what is really meant for you in your life. the art of deliberate creation is a humanist, sometimes bordering on an agnostic, approach to spirituality that encompasses the rhetoric of western self development and new age spirituality gurus. I think action and personal accountability are important but I think not believing in a higher power that governs all will really burn you in the end. many things are not in our control but all things work together for good. it pays to live your truth and god will always bless us for doing so
Your video is 1 yr old. I saw it today only. Currently sailing through a storm and can't tell you how anxious i was, at the verge of giving up. Ungrateful and whiny until Allah swt anchored me down and literally made me walk a path that was the best for me. I couldn't realize i was chosen for a program that i had not even in my wildest dreams thought to get into. Still not ready for it, but if Allah has chosen it for me He'll get me through it, and it will be the best route for me. Still have my doubts because shetan but hope> doubts. And when i read the title of the video a voice in my head said, i guess she's talking to me 🙂 Alhamdulillah for everything. May Allah Pak always keep us on His path close to Him and have mercy on us for we are nothing without His mercy and blessings ❤
This video is relative to those that don’t go against the grain. Your teaching people to not chase their dreams in the face of adversity. I’m guessing when things aren’t working for most people they quit, quit without knowing what could of been tomorrow. I know because I was that person. Faith without works is dead. What meant for you may find you. But it’s all about being at the right place and the right time.
Allahuakbar.. today i got a good news that i dont believe would ever happen, n when i open youtube, this video is suggested...im beyond happy n grateful...
I've had lots of goals in my life that I didn't succeed in reaching, and as I was very attached to them, I ended up feeling heartbroken, and my self esteem and self confidence took a huge blow, actually I am still not over all of it, because that sadness is still instilled deep down in my heart. What I am doing in my life now is completely different than how I ever imagined it or aspired it to be, so I feel like a failure most of the times, in every step of the way I did everything that I could, sometimes I overworked to myself to a non humanistic level, so I feel sorry for myself for that, and because of all the previous blows of life, I have no goal anymore right now and I don't even know what I want, sometimes I just find it hard to breath, and other times I just go with the flow as if I am just a spectator, so your video was like a calming balm to my aching soul, I am muslim as well and I know about all of these principles, but I always find myself in the 'forcing it' current, to be answered by life in a way as if it is saying to me : girl, chill, that's not it. I hope my soul heals by time, and I hope I get a glimpse of what I want even if it's not meant to be , because living without any aspirations at all, that's like being dead, hopefully what is meant to me will be merrier than I ever wanted, and I believe that Allah is merciful so it will all end up beautifully .
I knew you would make a podcast about this topic one day. I know how important this topic is and this is also one of the things that helped me come back to myself nd stop chasing things that I shoudnt. A lot of people fail to understand this but I am really grateful that I was able to, Alhamdulillah. The way you said everything in this podcast was like you were reading my mind 😊 Really enjoying these podcasts. May Allah bless you sister.
Please keep going 🎉 i always have these talks in my mind , but hearing them from someone else with the details of their point of view is so precious . Not only that but that “someone else” is you ! You’re so good with vocalizing your thoughts, and your sense of humor is the cherry on top 😘👌 moah
I've been through a lot after failing a very important school entrance exam. Now I'm starting a diploma to become a school teacher. I'm very happy, I can't wait to do the job, even though it's completely different from what I set out to do and what I was looking for. God has guided me, I'm so much happier now.
This is sooooo very true! My goals and target becomes more clearer when I decided to take deen seriously. Can't even imagine if Allah gave everything before I'm serious with my deen, I could've destroy myself. May Allah bless every each of you dear muslims ❤️
hello! i love the way you speak, it is so calming and reassuring :) i will def be watching your videos throughout Ramadan! hope you have a blessed Ramadan
this video popped up in my feed right now. right when i found out my bf, to be husband, of 5 years cheated on me with a girl that looks alot like his ex. he did this while we were on non speaking terms since i was/am going through a lot physically and mentally. i don’t know how i’ll continue or even get the energy to do anything anymore. i am in desperate need of help. thank you. i really don’t want to keep feeling this nauseating, gut wrenching, extreme pain.
subhanallah, as your topic says... what is meant for you will find you and wallahi your video found me. MashaAllah, Allah has blessed you with the mindset to empower and encourage. This is something I needed to hear. May Allah continue to bless you...Ameen
I’ve recently come across your channel and I’m glad. You talk about important lessons / reminders for Muslims in the most engaging and enjoyable way Masha Allah. Keep going!
EVERYTHINGG FARRAH WALLAHI EVERYTHING I FREAKIN LOVE YOU GURLLL 😭😘(sending you a virtual hug 🤗 ) I love everything from the video…I really needed this ♥️
First-time listener here, you're doing a great job...I can feel your authenticity and sincerity right through the screen, and you're hilarious in the best way..keep coming with these videos Farah 🌻
thanks for this video! i actually cried at the 10 minute mark because i witnessed my own faith crumbling down over the last few years… its also sad that i feel like i was more steadfast almost 10 years ago, when i was more innocent and didn’t make way for uncertainties and sins :/ and sometimes i feel like im somehow forcing things thru esp with my youtube videos/friendships/songs and podcasts.. thank you for the reminder. allah is always protecting us in every way ❤️

3:50 It reminds me of a verse:
Matthew 6:25-30
26 Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27 Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?
Messenger of Allah (Muhammed s.a.w) said:
"If you were to rely upon Allah with the required reliance, then He would provide for you just as a bird is provided for, it goes out in the morning empty, and returns full."

I have no clue why I want to be their friends if I’m being honest, and I tried everything to try and be their friends yet they don’t feel the same way and it made me feel down and I started to question what’s wrong with me and why is Allah not allowing us to be friends.

A few months back I was working on some of my goals (build a legal support system for domestic violence victims coz I was one of them) But while doing that some people started to play dirty politics and tried to remove me from this path coz its perks were - position and larger public visibility. I felt like a failure coz I couldn't achieve my goal. This was the first time I tried to move on with my life and prove that I've still got it. But when it ended up that way I just shattered. I'm still caving and avoiding people but this sentence of yours made me see things in a diff way. I'm not my goal. I'm me, I'm breathing and doing well SubhanAllah. Yes I tried but I will only get what my destiny is. And also I learnt that i should not care about what people think about me when they see me as a "failure" just coz I'm not running after my work and success just like them. Coz I'm not JUST my profession. I'm me, Im my whole person. Thank you Farah❤
Success does not come in this life❤ people define success by this life’s standards but those who focus on the next life are the successful one
@zebrasbean2385 thank you so much for this comment ❤️ yes indeed. May Allah answer all your duas for spreading positivity :)
Adila. You are not a failure. This what has been in my mind for past weeks too. And alhamdulillah Allah guide me (and you) to listen to what we should need to hear at the moment. The way Farah explained, to “being” instead of “gasping” and “constantly in wanting state”. That got to me. It describe my situation.
@linaishak4554 jazakillah khairan kaseera for these kind words Lina. Glad to know you watch these videos and follow Farah too. Your comment was a very pleasant and heart touching surprise. Thank you so much once again for the positivity. I agree we are definitely not a failure and even more so, you are not at all a failure. You inspire me a lot the more I speak to you each time. It's not easy to take care of another human you don't even know and try to save their life with all that you can the Will of Allah. And to be humble enough to use the rest of the time in getting closer to Allah, that is very beautiful.❤️ I hope someday we fulfill all our dreams that we wish we could live sooner in sha Allah..there's so much to change in the world and there's a lot of saving to do. But first, there's the saving we need to do of our own selves from the scars others may have given that shape the way we think ourselves. We are definitely nit how people made us to feel in our worst of times, we are much more worthy than what our heart refuses to believe. May Allah use us to serve people and influence them in better ways too. Aameen
JazakAllah ghair Farah...You are truly an inspiration Maasha-Allah
My friend on tumblr suggested your videos because I am new to Islam. I appreciate your kind and funny nature. ❤
"You aren't your goals"...
Thank you for such a reminder I almost cried watching this
I like your honesty, humour and the importance you place on what our religion teaches. Thank you!
JESUS IS LORD :D
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : (مَنْ أَصْبَحَ مِنْكُمْ آمِنًا فِي سِرْبِهِ ، مُعَافًى فِي جَسَدِهِ ، عِنْدَهُ قُوتُ يَوْمِهِ ، فَكَأَنَّمَا حِيزَتْ لَهُ الدُّنْيَا)
I LOVE what you're doing here sis. I think when muslims and nonmuslims talk about Islam, generally, it's about the laws, do's-and-don'ts, how 'restricting' it is but we rarely talk about how liberating Islam is. It gives us a lens through which to view this world. A way to interpret what we experience. And I think that's so important in building a healthy mind/mindsets (like how when you see someone and you understand that that is their rizq). As a Muslim, I feel like you could never lose. There's always good behind everything that happens to us. Things are often tough, yes, and yet, He won't test you more than you can bear. Like how can you argue with that? Keep doing what you're doing Farah, rooting for you :)

This is the most sence that touched my heart in this video 21:35
Thank you for the reminder - and yes, set goals but don't attach them to your identity or self worth
this video came on the youtube algorithm and it changed me. "you are not your goals ", spoke to me the most and within this dunya we're constantly chasing this and that. the state of being is what we should be striving for, our self worth doesn't come come from our achievements nor the titles and possessions we have, but from our character and the simpler things in life. may Allah bless you.
Wow im not a Muslim but i looove the way you explain things 😊 I think it’s got to do with your personality 😊 good job
I have the same opinion as you her wisdom transcend religious beliefs and bring us together as humans
Come to Islam
Her thought process is what islam teaches. Islam isn't just a religion it's a complete way of life that teaches us positivity among other aspects of how to conduct ourselves in this life.
@@danzai9455are you going to say this to every muslim who comments here
@@danzai9455this is not the way to give dawah, if you don't know how to give dawah, then don't. Just pray for them privately. Comments like this help others make fun of Islam.
"trying your best doesn't look the same every single day" thiss‼️
One thing that stuck with me was when you said, stop wanting and start being .... like that's something I wanna apply to my life .. let things flow just just way they are, let it be
And stop wanting it to be another way, cuz it's literally in ur riqz for it to be that way, and its the best way Allah choose for you. ❤
Loved listening to you, looking forward to the next one
8:50 “if something you’re pursuing isn’t successful at the moment it’s almost like Allah is protecting you”, or something like that. I like that way of thinking because I believe that everything happens for a reason, the good and the bad, and if something stops me from being successful I should probably learn a lesson from that or look at a situation from a different angle.
I’m not Muslim but I respect all religions and your videos speak to me, I trust your wisdom. Please keep up the good work ♥️ and I’m very interested in “can’t hurt me” now :)
I think it is very important to set goals and work towards something for the sake of Allah. You should never live your life empty without a purpose/mission. However what you should not be attached to is the results. Because Allah does not look at the result he looks at your effort.
Jazakallah
15:30
I actually find peace in the concept of destiny. For example, when a person believes all their destiny is within their hands, failure is going to hit hard. Because it’s all your fault it was all your responsibility unlike if you believe in destiny, I feel like you will do your best in order to be at the right place at the right time but if you say you are you don’t get what you were waiting for it’s OK you got it just wasn’t meant to happen in that moment.
I don’t know how to word this out. I don’t know if it makes sense but yeah.😅
Old Arab proverb: Trust in Allah, but tie up your camel.
@@Starlightndustthat’s a nice one
@@Phoenix-O thank you. ❤️
I asked Allah (swt) a question and this vdo of yours was Alhamdulillah His answer to it. Jazakallah Khairan for making this vdo. Your wisdom is simply unbelievable!
You're a nice kiddo. I'm old and I appreciate you 😌
in the world of manifestation and people preaching 'create your dream life' which in itself isn't bad but considering how mainstream it has become, this video is everything
I'm not muslim, I'm christian but this came on my feed and I am glad I watched this. I've always been told I should make a TH-cam channel and always wanted too but never had the confidence too but lately it's been coming on me for some reason. Like you said, which made me think, what if this is the time for me to start now and not then? I love the way you explain things.
it's never too late to try! Good luck with it ;)
First video of yours I’ve ever seen. I’m not Muslim but felt very connected to everything you said. Thank you for sharing
She’s gifted and so inspiring
Try to search about islam, you will see how peaceful and truthful it is and you will absolutely love it. Take my comment as a sign 🥰
The advice about living in the moment instead of wanting more and more really spoke to me. rn I need to decide what to do next and I feel overwhelmed and miserable because I can't predict my life and what is right to do, despite me trying my hardest. It's hard for me to let go of overthinking but I'll try my best to focus on what is happening now. Thank you :)
Enjoying these podcasts so much! I feel like we’re on facetime. So wholesome and down to earth!
6:48 " It was Allah who made it easy on me to get closer to him".. Indeed, if there wasnt the guidance of Allah, we would never be able to find the true path. Alhamdulillah...
I was so worried and stressed about not getting accepted into my dream college. I didn't know what to do next. I was praying to god to give me some sort of sign to move on. I just opened youtube and the first video was this. I'm gonna take this as a sign from god.
Rejection is Gods PROTECTION
The thing you marvelled at the end is just noticing your ability to speak truth. Truth is powerful. Alhamdulillah.
I have tried a numerous amount of times to get into/finish my medical degree and I keep running into obstacles. I have been trying to figure out every which way and trying to also tell myself it's just not meant to be, and this video is really helping me come to terms with my future. I will happily look into business as it has always been an interest of mine, just never something I considered as a career.
Thank you for this beautiful thought Farah, may Allah swt bless you for this act of kindness!
One really important thing, more important than chasing. Be ready for the chance when the chance come.
Without anticipating it?
@@fizzarafique2616 can you be ready without anticipating ?
This video came to me in a dire time of need Alhamdulillah. We think it's us, it's our plans, our hard work, everything that is to be done is to be done by us, and in the chase we forget the true essence of everything. How things work. How no matter what we do even if we take the wrong decision but have total faith and dependency on Allah swt we will always be guided. I think it was so important for me to realise the concept of rizq. Nothing that we get is due to US, it's due to Allah, and him alone. Putting faith in your capability is nothing because your capability is not because of YOU, it's him whose given it to you. So if you put your faith in Allah swt, he will give it in you to do whatever you think you can or cannot do. Relying on yourself comes with so many thoughts, can I do this, am I good enough, i can't do this etc etc but relying on Allah swt with full faith will make your questions go away. Yes, you are not capable of doing ANYTHING by yourself but everything is possible for Allah swt. So ask him, and believe in his capability only. There is so much of relief, comfort in the thought that if Allah wills it for you, it can happen. We have no power except what is given by Allah swt. Anything that we get or don't get is to be attributed to Allah's command and not to us. You work hard and get something doesn't mean you had the power to make it happen. Allah swt made it happen for you, even if some people fail to acknowledge it. They think it's because if their capability forgetting who gave it to them in the first place. We are nothing without Allah swt. May Allah swt forgive and guide us all Ameen.

I feel like this episode was aiming directly at me 😂. I’m gonna take this as a sign and accept that maybe I’m not gonna get exactly what I want.💙
Have mighty, great expectations of The creator of the heavens and earth like He deserves to be.. complete trust in the one with vast knowledge, what you want could be like a needle,A needle in the ocean , and Allah may be trying to give you even more than that , so you never have loses nor rejections you're simply just being redirected to something even better,greater as long as you are patient and working hard. As Allah stated in the quran "It could be that you dislike something, when it is good for you; and it could be that you like something when it is bad for you. Allah knows, and you do not know."
JESUS IS LORD :D
I love your wisdom, young lady! Have faith that life is perfect. Go with the flow.
honestly i needed this so much. thank you Farah for continuing making content it helps so many people like me who are young and want to remain on the right path of Islam while trying to juggle the things of the world and wanting things that others have. literally made my friday and changed my mindset
Mash'Allah sister i like the way you convey your message as much as it seems simple but people sometimes get to attached with their own Ego as if they are the one who controls their own Rizk and baraka in their lives, I'm from Egypt and i pray to Allah that you be always blessed and on the straight path.
Thank you so much for this. Especially your point around the 22 minute mark. I really needed to hear that today.
Mentioning about the book "can't hurt me" was my best takeaway.
My favorite part of this video is how genuine you convey your talking points with life based experience specifically our goals don’t define us and how sometimes you get so blunt and brash it makes you almost sound like you’re voice is going to crack/you’re tearing up. That’s the passion I appreciate and feel while listening to this podcast. This is my second one, my first was confidence. Keep up the amazing work.
I love how you highlight that people tend to attcach themselves with their goals because of the whole hustle culture thing. And it's true, I'm so blinded by it that it left me heartbroken when I don't achieve my goals. I am well aware of this as a muslim that we shouldn't be too attached by worldly goals but you bringing it up make it so convincing and sort of comforting to hear for me. That I shouldn't doubt myself. Keep going sister, thank you for the enlightenment.
thank you so much for the message in your video❤️I’ve been feeling anxious for days and it’s the first time I can actually feel peace within myself
1:12 i love the moments in ur videos when u talk about u and ur mom, smth so wholesome about seeing how righteous parents play a part in the lives of their children 🤍
I wish I had found this video sooner, when I failed my driving test 5 times in a row and had the biggest mental breakdown of my life. I guess I wasn't meant to be a driver at that time. Considering the insane amount of car accidents around my area in the past year I guess it maybe protected me from something...
I love the way you speak. Especially when you talk about how your goals do not define who you are. It sounds like common sense but for some reason I never told myself that. I love to just listen to what you say getting ready in the morning.
I'm not a muslim but i found this video touching and your words wise.
I beat my self up a lot for not fitting in with certain groups of people in my university. They are people i like (without really knowing them tho) but i can't blend in. This is my sign to stop trying so hard and show some respect and love to myself
david goggins is like one of my biggest motiovation souls on this earth. he helped me so much through my hardest time. love the fact that you also adore him! i also like your own way of thinking and i'm christian. much respect to you sister! thank you for bringing us together here! :)
✰14:23
This is definitely my favourite part. I've never thought about this before. Being a part of the subliminal community (as a Christian) had manipulated me to believe that I, myself could control my destiny; my life is mine...like that. But that explanation, the concept about how we may be able to do everything we can do but its literally impossible to control what the world does, only God can, that's just life-changing for me. I'm at an age where there's a few goals i absolutely need to accomplish, and being so overwhelmed by it I turned to the concept of "manifestation" and subliminals and all that
The ironic part is that the whole reason why I even clicked on this video was because I thought you'd be justifying the concept of "what is meant for you will find you" and that's in a way, the essence of manifestation, except for that we are kinda forcing ourselves to believe what those things that we want in life are actually, "meant for us" and that when we do that, things will...idk align for us or smth. But all the same, I am a Christian, and I believe in God, and part of me was like manifestation is just a way of getting what's meant for you but faster, but I wasn't sure if that really contradicted my faith in God and all that. This video had clarified EVERYTHING.
i dont know if anything i just stated makes sense but yeah i'm so grateful to have listened to this podcast
I normally never get really engaged with a TH-camr but when I listen to what you have said, I can’t stop. So many great reminders and you have a brilliant way of providing explanations
Goals may change but for betterment of own..That's actually Hikmah of Allah..❤..We at end will be happy realising we got what's excellent instead of what's good..❤ Alhamdulliah
I just want to be your Friend and listen to you for ever. You are so real.
my favorite part of the video is EVERYTHING..
i think the only thing i would add is that dua can change qadr (predestination), and that we still need to act and make strides towards whatever that is which we are seeking and trying to achieve. like yes everything is written but combining dua with action can definitely shape outcomes. but overall i really loved this video! jzk sister
the way you talk about things with such insight and knowledge is amazing. you explain things so well and give a good understanding of your point. alhamdulillah sister your knowledge is incredible.
I just got divorced, and this video just popped up on my feed. I really needed this more than you know ❤ May Allah bless you ❤ you gained a new subscriber
She is so cute!!! i am in a very hard lifetime rn but she helped me so much… i need to really let go of things i can’t control but it is very hard for me
i listen to self improvement podcasts and all that, a bunch of youtube videos and influencer trying to give advice, i don't really finish them honestly, but this one actually makes sense and is so properly explained in depth, this actually made me feel better in what im doing.
OMG.. it was just yesterday i was thinking of how i used to love your TikTok videos and today you've just magically popped up on my feed ❤❤❤ ilysm ❤
at the right time ❤❤ thank you
farah u dont knw how much this vid meant to me. thank you so much and may allah bless you always farah
I come back to this video so often. Thank you, Farah.
Farah you don’t even know how I needed to hear this 💖💖 Alhamdulilah
yes it takes time to fully realize your true destiny. it isn't always what you want today or tomorrow or in this season of your life. your goals and desires- both long and short term- may just be sign posts for you to follow right now on the way to what is really meant for you in your life. the art of deliberate creation is a humanist, sometimes bordering on an agnostic, approach to spirituality that encompasses the rhetoric of western self development and new age spirituality gurus. I think action and personal accountability are important but I think not believing in a higher power that governs all will really burn you in the end. many things are not in our control but all things work together for good. it pays to live your truth and god will always bless us for doing so
Ya Farah!
I thank you my sister!!!
Your video is 1 yr old. I saw it today only. Currently sailing through a storm and can't tell you how anxious i was, at the verge of giving up. Ungrateful and whiny until Allah swt anchored me down and literally made me walk a path that was the best for me. I couldn't realize i was chosen for a program that i had not even in my wildest dreams thought to get into. Still not ready for it, but if Allah has chosen it for me He'll get me through it, and it will be the best route for me. Still have my doubts because shetan but hope> doubts. And when i read the title of the video a voice in my head said, i guess she's talking to me 🙂 Alhamdulillah for everything. May Allah Pak always keep us on His path close to Him and have mercy on us for we are nothing without His mercy and blessings ❤
This video is relative to those that don’t go against the grain. Your teaching people to not chase their dreams in the face of adversity. I’m guessing when things aren’t working for most people they quit, quit without knowing what could of been tomorrow. I know because I was that person. Faith without works is dead. What meant for you may find you. But it’s all about being at the right place and the right time.
She clearly said that she's a thousand percent for people working the hardest everyday of their lives.
Allahuakbar.. today i got a good news that i dont believe would ever happen, n when i open youtube, this video is suggested...im beyond happy n grateful...
at this point, i just adore your mom
I've had lots of goals in my life that I didn't succeed in reaching, and as I was very attached to them, I ended up feeling heartbroken, and my self esteem and self confidence took a huge blow, actually I am still not over all of it, because that sadness is still instilled deep down in my heart. What I am doing in my life now is completely different than how I ever imagined it or aspired it to be, so I feel like a failure most of the times, in every step of the way I did everything that I could, sometimes I overworked to myself to a non humanistic level, so I feel sorry for myself for that, and because of all the previous blows of life, I have no goal anymore right now and I don't even know what I want, sometimes I just find it hard to breath, and other times I just go with the flow as if I am just a spectator, so your video was like a calming balm to my aching soul, I am muslim as well and I know about all of these principles, but I always find myself in the 'forcing it' current, to be answered by life in a way as if it is saying to me : girl, chill, that's not it. I hope my soul heals by time, and I hope I get a glimpse of what I want even if it's not meant to be , because living without any aspirations at all, that's like being dead, hopefully what is meant to me will be merrier than I ever wanted, and I believe that Allah is merciful so it will all end up beautifully .
I knew you would make a podcast about this topic one day. I know how important this topic is and this is also one of the things that helped me come back to myself nd stop chasing things that I shoudnt. A lot of people fail to understand this but I am really grateful that I was able to, Alhamdulillah. The way you said everything in this podcast was like you were reading my mind 😊
Really enjoying these podcasts. May Allah bless you sister.
Please keep going 🎉 i always have these talks in my mind , but hearing them from someone else with the details of their point of view is so precious .
Not only that but that “someone else” is you ! You’re so good with vocalizing your thoughts, and your sense of humor is the cherry on top 😘👌 moah
I've been through a lot after failing a very important school entrance exam. Now I'm starting a diploma to become a school teacher. I'm very happy, I can't wait to do the job, even though it's completely different from what I set out to do and what I was looking for. God has guided me, I'm so much happier now.
This is sooooo very true! My goals and target becomes more clearer when I decided to take deen seriously. Can't even imagine if Allah gave everything before I'm serious with my deen, I could've destroy myself. May Allah bless every each of you dear muslims ❤️
i agree on everything you just said my sister mashaa allah
But actually prayer and duaa can change destiny and qadr ❤️
That was good. The title brought me here. It’s basic yet it caught my attention. I needed to hear this.
hello! i love the way you speak, it is so calming and reassuring :) i will def be watching your videos throughout Ramadan! hope you have a blessed Ramadan
this video popped up in my feed right now. right when i found out my bf, to be husband, of 5 years cheated on me with a girl that looks alot like his ex. he did this while we were on non speaking terms since i was/am going through a lot physically and mentally. i don’t know how i’ll continue or even get the energy to do anything anymore. i am in desperate need of help. thank you. i really don’t want to keep feeling this nauseating, gut wrenching, extreme pain.
this video really helped me but in a different way i really needed to hear this
subhanallah, as your topic says... what is meant for you will find you and wallahi your video found me. MashaAllah, Allah has blessed you with the mindset to empower and encourage.
This is something I needed to hear. May Allah continue to bless you...Ameen
I’ve recently come across your channel and I’m glad. You talk about important lessons / reminders for Muslims in the most engaging and enjoyable way Masha Allah. Keep going!
EVERYTHINGG FARRAH WALLAHI EVERYTHING I FREAKIN LOVE YOU GURLLL 😭😘(sending you a virtual hug 🤗 ) I love everything from the video…I really needed this ♥️
First-time listener here, you're doing a great job...I can feel your authenticity and sincerity right through the screen, and you're hilarious in the best way..keep coming with these videos Farah 🌻
20:09 « Your goal may not be what is meant for you » this reasonated with my situation
The most important thing from this video is that we can’t force things to happen and we can’t do that we are not God
That was the most beautiful thing I have heard today. Thank you, Farah! ❤
I love hearing myself Is a familiar feeling and my favourite part is your goals doesn't define you and your worth.
MaShaAllah, it was my first video of yours and I was hooked till the last point. Interesting ideas delivered effectively!
You don't know how much I needed this video
really thank you
thanks for this video! i actually cried at the 10 minute mark because i witnessed my own faith crumbling down over the last few years… its also sad that i feel like i was more steadfast almost 10 years ago, when i was more innocent and didn’t make way for uncertainties and sins :/ and sometimes i feel like im somehow forcing things thru esp with my youtube videos/friendships/songs and podcasts.. thank you for the reminder. allah is always protecting us in every way ❤️
This kind of videos really help me to improve myself and my iman😊
