My mother taught me to make dua for people whom i may feel jealous to and subhan Allah its just so effective. Whenever i see people enjoying something, I immediately pray for them and ask Allah swt to increase them in blessings. Doing this just cleans the heart from any ill feelings towards each other and makes you genuinely happy for them , also when you see them being increased in blessings, it feels like your dua had been accepted and just makes you even happier and grateful.
MashaAllah, thank you for sharing. May Allah SWT have mercy on you both and grant you Jannatul Firdaws.
Ur mother is beautiful ! May Allah protect her and grant her jannah ! She thought u d DEEN ❤
@@fatimaadeeb5606 ameen. Jazak Allah khayr. May Allah bless us all and allow us to become a step closer towards hidayah. May He purify our intentions and make us among the righteous.
Ma shaa Allah 🥹
MashaAllah may Allah help us and guide us all
Subhanallah! This is a daily struggle for me. I am definitely slowly, day by day, finding myself focusing on being content with what Allah (SWT) has blessed me with, whenever I find myself looking at other people’s blessing and comparing myself. It is one of the Jihad al-nafs that I struggle with everyday, but, Alhamdoulilah, for my continued progress day by day. Thank you again for yet another reflective and educational video that I hope will stir us all on the path of Allah (SWT) and stay within it until we all unite together with Him in Jannah, Insha’Allah. Amina ya Allah.

1- redirecting of pursuits
2- compete over the right things
3- don't compete with the people of dunya over their dunya
4- we're all literally gonna be on the same ⛵ at the end of the day
5- no matter what level you're in, you're gonna feel like you're in the highest level
6- make du'a for those you are jealous of
A sister in the community in which I live gives endlessly in her knowledge of Islam. In each of our conversations because of this sister, we are in remembrance of Allah Subhanna wa ta' Allah leaving me feeling closer to Allah at the end of our time together. She shares with friends and family all of her resources that Allah has blessed her with. She is forever content, without complaint concerning her station in life. She is humble and so full of life and love for our Creator. May Allah continue to bless Sister Amina in this world with all the good of it and in the next with the highest Station of Paradise. Ameen.
Aameen. A friend of mine is like this too, MashaAllah! I never leave a conversation with her without benefitting from her. She’s constantly gaining more knowledge of Islam and sharing it with all of us, and is never unhappy with what she has! Sometimes it’s difficult to see how she is everything I aspire to be, and am struggling to be. With her Islamic knowledge, Hifdh, good deeds, bright smile, endless love for Allah… but in the end I love her for the sake of Allah and I need to be more content with learning from her and not competing with her. May Allah reward my friend Nadia immensely .❤
When u compare yourself to other people u are being ungrateful too Allah for your blessings that make u different from every other person! I pray Allah separate me from jealous people and people that condone jealousy
I feel so much jealousy in terms of academics and it's the worst feeling ever. the envy in my heart is too much that I had to search for videos like this one. i hate this feeling, i don't like getting jealous of other people especially about studies.
Allah ( SWT)created these feelings
We just can't stop comparing ourselves with others
But we all must remember that if Allah gave them something which we lack , HE gave us something too that would want to have .
Comparing is just unavoidable thing
What can we do is that we must count what we have and say Alhamdulliah
I would like to make a shout out for Sheikh Abdullah Oduro, I see that he is doing amazing work and content for the sake of Allah sub’hana’wa’tala. May Allah subhana’wa’tala keep his heart and intentions pure and righteous. He has so much noor and knowledge to share, may Allah subhana’wa’tala bless and reward him and his family in this life and with the highest level of jannah. His humility and perserverance is truly inspiring and you can tell it is for the sole sake of Allah’subhana’wa’tala 🤲
Another tips for jealousy and envy: 1-Think of something you wished you had before that you have now and have worked hard for (diplomas, money, a destination, a country, etc.).
2-Think about how many people saw you work before you got that thing (often alone in your room).
3- If the person you're jealous of is a star, go and see where they got their start and ask yourself "am I ready to make these kinds of sacrifices?"
And if you can, ask the people you envy how they got to where they are.
Then ask yourself if want to that
Honestly I won’t compare myself to someone who has more than me like money/looks/clothes /ect... cause I’m not gonna stay on Earth for long, it’s not like I’m gonna stay on Earth forever so what’s the point ? If these things are all temporary , how can I attach my worth to them ? How can I value them ?
S/O to my father who does for everyone from our family to the less fortunate
May Allah reward him
Again another great video.. for me the line by brother Omar was quite heart touching in which he said “Allah does not crush our emotions” The idea is to just channel them in the right way. Also I think for the most part when it comes to envying & jealousy, if you think about it logically, which always isn’t easy.. What will you actually get out of it? And like what was said in the video, you only see that person’s blessings but you don’t actually see their struggle.. if you were to see their struggles you’d be happy with what you have.. everyone has a mix both blessings and trials.. that’s how I remind myself..
Amazing perspective mashaaAllah
Something that may help one not feel 'jealous' of other's achievements, especially when it's something that is beneficial (gave lots of charity, invented something useful to the society, etc), is by being grateful that that goodness has happened if that makes sense. It's looking at in a different perspective and being thankful that that 'khair' exists and just focusing on working to make more of it in your own individual way..
That's so relatable for all of us. May Allah grant us ease 🤲
Can you do an entire series on this. I feel like sometimes it become so all encompassing.
what a great videos from this channel ...Always love to watch and make me thinking about my life 😢...may Allah almighty give us chance to practice to be a real Muslim SubhanAllah
AsalamOAliqum and JazakAllah elkhair for great series. May Allah forgive all Muslims and grant us Jannah
Ameen
This series is soooo beneficial words can't express it x my gratitude for you all lies in the duas I make for u all x jzk for this may Allah swt bless you all abundantly ameen x
Alhamdulillah an amazing series to keep us focused in these first 10 days of Dhul-Hijjah. Jazakum Allahu khairun to the entire team. May Allah increase you in good always. Ameen!
I feel like all of the Quran teachers in the various masajid who are so dedicated and patient with the students they have to teach on a daily basis, often go unrecognized. They are the ones raising the next generation of scholars, Imams, and Huffazh. May Allah grant them continued dedication and establish palaces for them all in jannah. Aameen!
im so exited!
Thank you Dr. Sarah Sultan! May Allah bless you and yaqeen!
I like sister sarah's enlightening on what's normal to feel as a human by referring it with ahadith and giving practical tips to combat that again by referring to the words of our prophet(saw) throughout the series.May Allah bless sh.Omar Suleiman and sister sarah and every one .Ameen

Oh Allah subhana wa ta'ala bless this brother. Omar. Ma sha Allah Tabarak Allah Al hamdullilah and apply the dua he has at the beginning of the video for him, his family, the people in the video and all watching, Ameen. His perspective and way of explaining that the Qadr Allah places for you that good will come from it that can only be for your specific life like that of Hajr, may Allah be pleased with her and all mentioned, Ameen. Ya Allah this has opened my eyes in a way that I hope that I never forget to apply at the right times. To be patient with where I am and what Allah has given me because good will come from it and only Allah knows how far and long the good may reach. Please Allah let the good reach all that it is written for, each generation, each soul in goodness until we meet you Allah! Subhana Allah!
Subhanallah! Thank you for such high quality content

Ameen 🤲🏾
There will be no boredom in Jannah. Even if there would still be it, you could just make dua, asking Allah to erase your boredom forever. I heard all duas will be granted in Jannah, so problem solved!
but what should I do if compare myself with the people who are just a far ahead of me in belief, practicing Deen and their good deeds like people in this show? what should I do? this overwhelms me. I try to be like them but my environment sometimes become an un passable obstacle in front of me.😞😞😞
In my opinion= i feel sad all the time n whenever i see my friends cousins having the time of their lives whereas I'm doing nothing having no forture like them i feel i get jealous i feel sooo sad for myself how shoukd i stop
اللهم آنی اسلک الجنة الفردوس امین ثم امین

*Muhammad ﷺ said to me “My son!, free my house through Allah’s ﷻ help from those people and rebuild my house again and lead my Nation and unite them all into one Nation again, so that my house is again respected in the world as it was respected before".
Dream on [08-28-2015]
Bismillah Ar-Rahman Ar-Rahim
Muhammad Qasim’s dream:
I was going somewhere in the darkness of the night and I didn’t know where to go.
As I keep on walking I see that under an open sky Muhammad ﷺ was laying on a bed.
I go to him running and after sitting on the bed, I ask Him ﷺ that why are you laying here,? why are you not sleeping in your home?’’
So Muhammad ﷺ said “Son, which home,? the house which I made has been taken over by some people and the people who were in my house have ran away in the form of groups, and the ones who have taken over my house are damaging it severely.”
During this for the first time in my life I look in the eyes of Muhammad ﷺ.
When my eyes look into Muhammad’s ﷺ eyes then they get stuck on his and I couldn’t look away, I feel as if in His ﷺ Eyes Allah ﷻ has filled all of His Nur. (light) which was an unbelievable moment for me.
I saw that Muhammad ﷺ Eyes were wet.
Muhammad ﷺ said to me “My son!, free my house through Allah’s ﷻ help from those people and rebuild my house again and lead my Nation and unite them all into one Nation again, so that my house is again respected in the world as it was respected before".
"And don’t be afraid for Allah ﷻ is with you, He will help you in every condition" you are my son and it is impossible that the Mercy of Allah ﷻ skips my son.”
I looked into Muhammad’s ﷺ wet eyes and said that no matter how dangerous it is I will do this work of Yours ﷺ by the help of Allah. ﷻ
Upon hearing this the eyes of Muhammad ﷺ were filled with happiness and Muhammad ﷺ started invoking Allah ﷻ that "help my son".
Then I went away from there and the Nur of Allah ﷻ showed me the way to the house of Muhammad, ﷺ and when I reached Muhammad’s ﷺ home.
Then I said to myself that ‘’Qasim this is your own home.’’
Then I saw that there were some armed people on the roof of the house who are watching over the house so that no one comes inside, suddenly I see the Nur of Allah ﷻ again on my right hand index finger.
And from this Nur of Allah ﷻ I destroy them.
And then I go in the home and I see that the whole house is converted into a cave, I become very sad , then I look for the Muslims thinking ‘’Where are they all,? and how will I call all of them?’’
Then I say Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, and some Muslims hear my call. (Dream ends)
