  • We may find ourselves excelling in one area of faith, yet severely lacking in another.
    How do we identify our blind spots and become more balanced and complete in the sight of Allah?

    44:16 to 45:05 is a *gem* that every Muslim should hear.
    "Everything around you is becoming more intelligent at satisfying you and your delusion. And you have to do that much more work to overcome that, and to make yourself hear what's gonna actually better you in sha Allah".

    • @amatullah_aishah
      @amatullah_aishah Před 9 měsíci +7

      SubhanAllah, therefore one of the special aspect to Intelligence mentioned in Qur’an is furqan: criterion, the ability to separate good ans bad according to Allah guidances because we live in a time that so confuse, even the word 'God' is labeled as a delusion by human. SubhanAllah it is actually easier to separate good and black when it is clear like night and days, the challenge is to seperate good and bad when it's mix as half truth and half lie. We, ask Allah to guide us to the straight path, and help us see truth as truth and falsehood as falsehood make it clear to us like night and day, let not this Ummah fall into the deception delusion of those who declare war against Allah and Allah religion, Islam

    Even tho I know almost all the points mentioned from prev lectures and others, this still hurt every bit of me cuz I know all my “fatal flaws”, I’ve been trying for so long I literally don’t have anything left to do except dua, and asking ppl to pray for me, please my brother or sister who’s reading this, pray that Allah give me good character and patience, and make me good to my parents, family and myself.
    I trust that Allah will answer eventually, and that I can and will change, I just really really need your dua’s rn.
    Jazakum Allah khairan.

    "We're living at a time where algorithms are catered towards what you like to hear and what you like you like to see and not what's going to challenge you to be better. Everything around you is becoming more intellingent at satisfying you in your delusion. And you have to do that much more work to overcome that and to make yourself hear what's gonna actually better you inshallah. Ramadan whem it comes is a great time do that." 44:27

    1. Have a good character. [ The religion in its is entirety is a good character, so whoever surpasses you in good character has surpassed you in Religion ]
    2. Perform your Fardz , and pay attention to Halaal and Haram.
    3. Don't be contained/sustained with the extra good deeds that you do, focus on the deeds or fardz that you "MUST" be doing but are showing a blind eye and deaf ear to.
    4. Get Inspired from the people who are best than you, get inspired from their good qualities and strive to bring them in your life rather than looking at the worst people and being like " oh, I atleast don't do that sin ". Focus on the part where you lack and you must be doing.
    5. Decrease your fatal flaws / sins / bad deeds and not be sustained or rely on the good deeds that you do.[ Not doing something that Allah tells you not to do is harder than doing something that Allah ( SWT ) tells you to do or tells you is good for you to do. ]

    1. Abu Hurayra reported the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, “Race to good actions as fast as you can. What are you waiting for except delayed poverty, oppressive wealth, debilitating illness, dottering senility, a swift death or the Dajjal? Or are you waiting for an unseen evil, or the Last Hour? The Last Hour will be most bitter and terrible.” [at-Tirmidhi]
