the video reminded me of this hadith: "Take advantage of five before five: your youth before your old age, your health before your sickness, your wealth before your poverty, your free time before your busyness, and your life before your death.” it's one of my fav hadiths❤
I’m learning this first hand currently. The harshest judgements have been my own that I learned when I was a child and more vulnerable that aren’t true. It’s been a learning experience as I was fearing rejection and learned to behave in ways that looked a lot more like I was doing the rejecting when reality was my extremely sensitive self was just trying to avoid hurt rejection and emotional pain.
Farah as a non-Muslim I love your podcasts. First of all because you speaking about being productive with your life really motivates me and second of all because you help me re-learn Islamic concepts. Like Jihad that I had a different idea about as a consumer of western media. I look forward to every episode.
Im not gonna lie Im a victim of living in my comfort zone because the idea of facing something new sounds scary to me. But not after watching this. I'm grateful that internet exist and I found somebody who's well spoken. May allah bless you.
As a Russian, to be fair, our language is difficult even for natives. You're amazing for keeping up with it for so long 😎 As for the podcast itself, very inspiring and useful as always 💗
Precisely!I often ask myself if I make a mistake while writing anything and still don't understand some grammar rules,even though I am a native speaker 🥲😆
If mom said this to me I'd start crying, she has always tried to pull me out of my comfort zone, sometimes I listen out of fear sometimes I get creative with excuses. Last year I graduated and didn't want to work out of fear of failure, and I won't say I regret it no I regret spending that time on useless things... every word u said Farah felt personal. Thank you ❤
Farah, you are a role model. Please keep doing this. We need your wisdom, your humour, and your opinions. Your voice is special, it's very important that people hear it. You speak of truth, not subjective truth. Actual factual truth. In short you speak fax and it's uncomfortable for people who believe in misinformation.
Your Podcasts are helping to avoid music and to not get bored ,while working .That's a really good topic and you talked about it in a beautiful way. Well done!
I think that the moment the comfort zone gets uncomfortable, we go to addictions to make ourselves comfortable again. Only to get addicted to the addiction and not being able to get out of the addiction anymore because you don't want to face the uncomfortable.
Notes to myself,10/10/23,its around 8am • Sometimes we shouldnt hold back of making people uncomfortable if we want to know what are they really like • If we are not going out of our comfort zone,its going to shrink and suffocate us • Comparing ourselves to others if done correctly isnt always bad,for example if we are trying to see where are in life • We should start working towards our goals,the sooner the better,before its actually too late (its not too late to start ballet at 30's tho💃) • We shouldnt limit our mindset,we shoulndt judge if we are capable of doing things before we even started,humans can be their own biggest enemy sometimes,growth mindset is the best • If we are starting something its natural to fail,bur we should look at failure as stepping stone and as progress,the more we fail the more we are succeseding. Only failure is stopping. • We should stay focused and do it everyday and not look if other people are doing it better than you. • Living in autopilot robs you from things you live,from what you truly are • Jihad and going out of your comfort zone could also mean not doing certain things
Im not religious in any way. Lapsed catholic. But I do love listening to your videos and your messages. They’re uplifting and firm. Thank you for your work.
Jazāk Allāhu Khayran for uploading these videos as well as podcasts, I started listening to them a few weeks ago and my connection with Allah SWT and the way I viewed my deen had a huge change, Lots of love 🫶🏻
The content that you share has been and will continue to be such a blessing to tens of thousands of people. By just being your natural self you're helping to inspire those who just needed a little extra encouragement. May your life be prosperous and may it be long.
This reminds me of self sabotage. To stay in the comfort zone & doubting yourself. Thank for your constant videos of spreading growth, learning and all goodness Ameen
Спасибо за видео/подкаст! Вы просто великолепны в том что вы делаете!! Я слушала этот подкаст на Spotify, но когда услышала что вы 2 года учили русский, не удержалась и решила прокомментировать здесь! У вас отличное произношение, я никогда ещё не слышала чтобы люди, которые учили русский настолько хорошо произносили слова, без акцента!🤩👏 я в зале, слушаю подаст вместо музыки - вдохновилась вашей историей, спасибо!
what I like the most about your podcasts is the vocabulary you're using! I learn so much from it, and I am always surprised by the fact that every time I reach I truth, I automatically find you talking about it and explaining it In a better way(in a parallel time), and I say to myself: OMG I'm not only one who is thinking this way or doing this like "quitting music".you re doing super amazing videos.
As somebody who used to suffer from depression, during the worst time stepping out of the bed was way beyond my comfort zone. Now I can do so much more, but I think I was getting too lazy lately. Thanks for the kick I needed to get uncomfortable once again!
i've always thought about this! it's not always bad to compare yourselves to others because if we didn't, we'd be sitting here comfortably without realising potential growth by being inspired from others etcetera
I'm currently doing chemistry which is way out of my comfort zone. I've never really been a technical type of person, so I've been struggling a lot in my chemistry courses in university. I failed the class once, but I'm trying again. Thank you for your video 💙 I'll be able to do it as long as I keep at it Inshallah. Who cares how many times I've failed? What's important is that I I'm learning more and getting closer to success.
Farah is a great human, im glad i found her in a moment in my life where sometimes I don’t know how make sense about my actions and fears and why the mental pain in the fear zone is so real.
hi Farah appi i am an adolescent and i have started watching your videos recently and my prescriptive changed thoroughly i feel closer to allah and thanks to your wisdom i became more productive and got connected to my deen you are such a positive influence on the youth may allah swt protect you
This gave me soo much more hope. Im in that stage where even talking to relatives is out of my comfort zone. I started a new job and i really hate it because im a hijabi AND young adult, while everyone is middle aged and white christians. Im gonna keep going and going just to get rid of this barrier, this blockade thats preventing me from growing. I will continue to ask Al-Aziz for strength
Update: ALHAMDULILAH YA RABBIL ALAMEEN. I loved this job but unfortunately i have to transfer to a different location. I was super anxious during the beginning, but now im sad bcuz im leaving :( Its good tho, i need another uncomfortable situation so I start getting used to human interaction again. May Al-Aziz strengthen me
another update: its been two days at this new location and i was just crying bc of how difficult the situation is. I took the other place for granted, i wish the commute wasnt far and gas wasnt so expensive or else i wouldve stayed there :(((
Your first comment is literally me!! I sometimes find it difficult to speak outside of my family members. And I’m also the ONLY hijabi that’s young in my work. May Allah keep us both steadfast on the right path. I hope everything is better for you now 🤲🏼❤️
Farah, about 2 weeks ago I came across your podcast, I knew you from tiktok long time ago tho, however, the first episode I listened to was the one about music, I've always been a music addict, and I mean I 24/7 listen to music and literally can't function without it. I feel it physically. I listened to your episode days before I go to Umrah, when I finished the ep I just didn't willingly play a song again, (ok maybe I did twice or sth) but I just stopped listening to songs, I also started wearing hijab yesterday. I made duaa for you fel Umrah, thank you for this podcast, I keep wanting more and more so please keep going :) you inspire me to become better muslim and get closer to Allah.
This really made me think of my time in taekwondo. I started taekwondo because of a manwha viral hit and it was in 2019 where I was somewhat depressed. Taekwondo helped me get out of my comfort zone and I felt a lot better till I entered the fear zone (I didn’t even know this existed till rn) I started comparing my progress to friends I had there and it started eating me away. Everytime I entered the dojang I just couldn’t do it. My confidence was very low and one day I got up and left. It’s been 2 years now and I’m happy to say that I’m no longer depressed and I don’t have massive anxiety anymore. Instead of taekwondo, I started going to the gym and that became my thing. I gained weight and muscle. There are still things I struggle with and I’m working on them but I’m way better now. Thank you Farah
Found that video in my suggestions and not regretting watching it! I love how you remind in your video that as some point of time it's difficult to start an habit and that's okay. AND how much failing is important, necessary, and how much it's a good thing. Thank you for that
Farah, you are really speaking to me today. As someone who constantly question my struggle w being stuck with my comfort zone, this episode really made me reflect. It is a complex subject indeed but the way you present it and discuss it is truly amazing. Thank you for always sharing your wisdom with us, we truly appreciate it.
this video & topic for me is so real. I personally & deeply relate to (the comfort mentality). I’ve struggled with this for a while now due to constant bullying and ridicule I experienced throughout my childhood and early teen years. Over time I think it caused me to develop very bad social anxiety and other fears/insecurities.. which encouraged the (comfort mentality) so because of this.. things have happened that caused me to feel even more suffocated and heartbroken, and now that I am more wise I’ve been able to identify this habit I’m working on myself for the better and InshAllah the future will be better I hope anyone that can relate to this will overcome it and have good things for the future 🤍 and also Thank you Farah, your videos are so real, wise & motivating
My situation is exactly like yours!! It's really hard breaking out of it, and I wish I could. I've been trying to figure out how to do it, and inshaAllah I will and everyone else feeling the same way. ❤
Just wanted to let you know that this video made me go to kitchen and pour my half empty can of coca-cola into the sink just now. (I’ve been trying to quit processed sugar for a while now.) I rarely comment on youtube videos but I just had to pause the video and get out of my comfort zone by commenting on a social media platform. When you said that sometimes it IS too late, couldn’t help but rethink everything I should or shouldn’t be doing with my life! May Allah swt reward you abundantly for all the positivity you bring into people’s lives.
my irl best friend is a psychotherapist but she can’t work with me because of ethical reasons so Farah you’re the next best thing :) listening to you is like listening to my bestie teaching me about life :)
Thanks for your video 🥺 and just at the right time. Ive suffered with extreme anxiety for the last 2 years, had this realisation that the only way to defeat anxiety was by, like you said, becoming comfortable in the uncomfortable. I think we must find our stability beyond ourselves, knowing that the path of life and our purpose is always grounded even as everything around us changes. That’s what it is to be truly peaceful. I’m currently at a point where everyday I wake in fear, the world in itself is a threat, and this is the culmination of my inaction in confronting anxiety. I’m trying to tell myself more often now that even if life changes, I am still on the same path as everyone else and positive thoughts really do mean positive attitude. Have a lovely day everyone ❤
Thank you so much Farah I haven't been doing too well with my studies but this truly helped. I felt too incapable of starting , my exams are approaching but listening to you made it easier. you really reminded me of everything I needed to hear.
Thank you so much for this video. I had a recent breakup from a 3 year relationship & I lost a sense of myself. Your video reminded me the necessity to go out & try new things, & learn. I started boxing, consistently hitting the gym, and got a promotion at my job. I know that the more time I stay out of my comfort zone the more I'll grow in confidence & build myself up again. Keep going I support your channel fully. God bless.
Thank you for putting everything into perspective. I understood completely the 'shrinking of comfort zone and feeling suffocated of it' so I got out of it, but my new environment is indeed very uncomfortable and keeps me on my toes all day. Listening to you makes me want to keep going. Thank you Farah, love listening to you :)
I wasted a portion of my life being comfortable especially during the start of uni now I’m in my last year recently have realized how much simple stuff that I need to do makes me stupidly nervous. My nervous was always not propionate to the situation. Until now In certain situations still feel this ngl. But I’ve been trying my best to start doing things that are out of my comfort zone despite how nervous I am :,)
I'm now in a situation where I'm scared that I'm making this decision just because I'm uncomfortable. I went to University abroad in the UK, and the first semester was great. I had good grades and an amazing experience. Second semester, the University did not teach due to strikes and boycotts. I would go to empty classes and was denied help from teachers because of these strikes. Our work was not marked as part of the Marking boycott, so graduating students simply were not given their graduating grades which postponed their graduation. I became extremely homesick because the education that I came for wasn't happening, so I entered some sort of long-term sadness where I stayed in my room and would just wait out the rest of the days until I'd go back home. I also felt extremely guilty because my family was investing money in me to be abroad and I'm not getting the education they're paying for and STILL EXPECTED TO PAY FULL PRICE. It is a very large price that is being paid as well. I came back for this semester, to give it a chance and be more optimistic, and I was not put in the classes I wanted, the teachers are hard to reach, students are being ignored, my accommodation room is not up to a good standard. So I had a breakdown. I have a better option back home, for a cheaper and even better education. One that is worth the price to quality ratio. I don't want to be here for another couple years where I am going to enter that sadness again and be denied education and paying wayyy to much money. The degree honestly is not worth the price. But I'm scared that I'm a failure for going back home and going to a university there. That I am just choosing the comfortable option and not enduring the final years here. But I miss home, I miss family and miss doing my work and getting my grades for it! But I feel like back home I will work hard for my degree, and I will be proud of it. I feel like Allah would be more proud of me too, I would be closer to my family so I can take care of them, and surrounded by more Muslims, going to a cheaper option, and working harder with good teachers and a more interesting degree.
I graduated this summer. And havent started studying for my board exam. Why? I DONT KNOW! I have always been an A student. I used to work hard and be so motivated to get what I wanted. Look at me now. Scared! Thinking that I will not pass my board. I really think that I wont success. I wonder if this video was a sign. I was literally begging God to help get myself together.... ❤️
It’s so on point what I’ve been through, as a housewives I feel so comfortable that I think I don’t need learn anything new. But the soul tell you, I miss learn and achive something new.
You’re like my new favorite song I listen to your podcasts on repeat the way I used to replay my favorite songs over and over 🫶🏽 every video only gets better thank you sister ☺️🫶🏽
somewhat summarized while watching to go back for it later a correct mindset has self confidence, dont stick to things you're good at ( im good at studying im bad at cooking), youtube social media and all of these dopamine rushing things exist for that reason only, and one should use them for the mere fact of needing to relieve stress in leisure time, while the main use of our brains is in fact to work hard and create new neural paths (painful sometimes but it's rewarding) auto pilot mode leaves you tasteless, a very average person with nothing remarkable, because many people are on auto pilot mode all the time, very similar to each other, i like this so im keeping it 22:23 , im still at the fear zone, failures are brick stones that allow us to learn better and get closer, because we already overcame that psychological fear of actually making a move to go forward, kinda reminds me of archery; without trying your brain wrongly measures distances and isnt aware of how much power is needed to give the arrow the perfect boost, but when you try and fail, you understand the distance and the power and how it correlates with the speed of your arrow, the thing about the learning zone: 27:41 , "you cant depend on things staying forever if you're not giving them the proper attention", this is exactly what happens to brains and exactly why students suffered to get back on track after the pandemic, the last part is so beautiful 30:41 - 33:24 , pure discomfort, going out of your comfort zone is pure discomfort whether it means doing something or stopping yourself from doing something, btw, it's less rewarding sometimes because people hardly notice it when you try stopping yourself from doing something, it just requires strength it requires will power. thank you for your effort Farah, we all pretty much appreciate it♥
9:47 This is very true, I'm a person who rarely compares herself to others, and instead of making life better for me it's actually limiting my perspective of life because i somehow choose not to see how it could be, how different life can be for me and a good way to see what could be is by looking at people.
"you can do that with action just as much as with inaction"❤ drawing a parallel of this statement with your "give something up for the sake of Allah" video
yk I've been thinking of starting a podcast channel for the longest time ever because i think that my mindset is worth sharing and the way i wanted my content to look like is literally what you do, so for integrity purposes, all im gonna do now is have your content as an inspiration because after watching few of your videos i genuinely believe that you're the woman version of me LMAO. good content frfr
I'm glad I found this video because I need to face something uncomfortable tomorrow and the whole week. I hated the idea of beeing uncomfortable because talking to people or basicly sitting somewhere made me uncomfortable - it still makes me uncomfortable. I guess it's mainly because I live in europe since childhood and people here are so rude. I was always judged for my looks, my thinking, my religion like on every aspect. People looked down on me, were loud ect. so many things happened. So beeing in my comfort zone was the best thing to do and I did what felt good. Unfortunately with time I discovered that I'm in the same place as I was. No job, no money, no relationship (marriage), no education- just nothing because of fear of judgment. When I started to challenge myself I was 27 years old- I went to university, I went out more, I started talking to people more. I'm 29 now still not much changed I stilll go to university and have still no job and am still not married. I still struggle with communication and going somewhere but after this video I loved that she said to grow you have to put yourself in an uncomfortable position (jihad) and that was I think something I needed to keep going and keep pushing. I hope with time I will get better and better. Make dua guys 🙂
Just had an interview for my dream job, and I'm not sure about how the interview went. I'm trying not to freak out right now, but I came across this video. Thanks Farah. Please keep me in your duaas.
this topic is such a current problem in my life, subanallah I really needed this. It really is such a challenge to go over these comfort zones, but it truely is so Important. Struggling forms us, struggling makes us human. Especially in Islam, struggling is so essential in this dunya to gain ease and beauty in the akhira. And the aspect of time is also SOOO important, both the fact that long kept comfort zones are likely to get more impossible to leave and also the fact that time is moving. Anything that happens, any fear and any struggle, will pass. Literally anything. We don't need to make things appear bigger in our mind. No fear is bigger than Allahs rahma, power and love.
the video reminded me of this hadith:
"Take advantage of five before five: your youth before your old age, your health before your sickness, your wealth before your poverty, your free time before your busyness, and your life before your death.”
it's one of my fav hadiths❤
I loved reading this
❤
Reference?
can i have the book of hadith pls?

I’m learning this first hand currently. The harshest judgements have been my own that I learned when I was a child and more vulnerable that aren’t true.

May Allah swt reward you abundantly for all the positivity you bring into people’s lives.
Ending of this video got me to tears subhanallah your words are amazing
Literally struggling to type this cus my eyes are full of tears🤣🤣🤣
my irl best friend is a psychotherapist but she can’t work with me because of ethical reasons so Farah you’re the next best thing :) listening to you is like listening to my bestie teaching me about life :)
Thanks for your video 🥺 and just at the right time. Ive suffered with extreme anxiety for the last 2 years, had this realisation that the only way to defeat anxiety was by, like you said, becoming comfortable in the uncomfortable. I think we must find our stability beyond ourselves, knowing that the path of life and our purpose is always grounded even as everything around us changes. That’s what it is to be truly peaceful. I’m currently at a point where everyday I wake in fear, the world in itself is a threat, and this is the culmination of my inaction in confronting anxiety. I’m trying to tell myself more often now that even if life changes, I am still on the same path as everyone else and positive thoughts really do mean positive attitude. Have a lovely day everyone ❤
You can do itttttt
GO GET ITTTTTT
You are quite wise for being so young, I appreciate your podcast and thank you for sharing yourself and your thoughts 🙏
While listening to you I just realised that I am getting out of my comfort zone now to build a better one in the future
Smart📌
farah out here be spitting straight up FACTS
I needed this wakeup call
comparison is the thief of joy
goosebumps!! using this as my english speech, period!
Omggggg. Your accent in Russian is incredibly good and adorable!! Thank you for your podcasts Farah
Thank you so much Farah I haven't been doing too well with my studies but this truly helped. I felt too incapable of starting , my exams are approaching but listening to you made it easier. you really reminded me of everything I needed to hear.
Thank you so much for this video. I had a recent breakup from a 3 year relationship & I lost a sense of myself. Your video reminded me the necessity to go out & try new things, & learn. I started boxing, consistently hitting the gym, and got a promotion at my job. I know that the more time I stay out of my comfort zone the more I'll grow in confidence & build myself up again. Keep going I support your channel fully. God bless.
You are such a wise woman 💙 Farah.
God bless you for spreading these wise words.
The ladt part really hit. Very insightful. May allah bless u.❤
Farah thank you so much for this talk your podcasts always touch my heart and help me in reverting back to Islam
Thank you for putting everything into perspective. I understood completely the 'shrinking of comfort zone and feeling suffocated of it' so I got out of it, but my new environment is indeed very uncomfortable and keeps me on my toes all day. Listening to you makes me want to keep going. Thank you Farah, love listening to you :)
I really love this ! I feel like, SubhanAllah you always say exactly what i need to hear thank youuuu
I wasted a portion of my life being comfortable especially during the start of uni now I’m in my last year recently have realized how much simple stuff that I need to do makes me stupidly nervous. My nervous was always not propionate to the situation. Until now In certain situations still feel this ngl. But I’ve been trying my best to start doing things that are out of my comfort zone despite how nervous I am :,)
How did you do it?
I'm now in a situation where I'm scared that I'm making this decision just because I'm uncomfortable.
I went to University abroad in the UK, and the first semester was great. I had good grades and an amazing experience. Second semester, the University did not teach due to strikes and boycotts. I would go to empty classes and was denied help from teachers because of these strikes. Our work was not marked as part of the Marking boycott, so graduating students simply were not given their graduating grades which postponed their graduation.
I became extremely homesick because the education that I came for wasn't happening, so I entered some sort of long-term sadness where I stayed in my room and would just wait out the rest of the days until I'd go back home.
I also felt extremely guilty because my family was investing money in me to be abroad and I'm not getting the education they're paying for and STILL EXPECTED TO PAY FULL PRICE. It is a very large price that is being paid as well.
I came back for this semester, to give it a chance and be more optimistic, and I was not put in the classes I wanted, the teachers are hard to reach, students are being ignored, my accommodation room is not up to a good standard. So I had a breakdown. I have a better option back home, for a cheaper and even better education. One that is worth the price to quality ratio.
I don't want to be here for another couple years where I am going to enter that sadness again and be denied education and paying wayyy to much money. The degree honestly is not worth the price.
But I'm scared that I'm a failure for going back home and going to a university there. That I am just choosing the comfortable option and not enduring the final years here. But I miss home, I miss family and miss doing my work and getting my grades for it!
But I feel like back home I will work hard for my degree, and I will be proud of it. I feel like Allah would be more proud of me too, I would be closer to my family so I can take care of them, and surrounded by more Muslims, going to a cheaper option, and working harder with good teachers and a more interesting degree.
Are you from Pakistan?
I would suggest you to pray Ishtikhara, and ask Allah's help to make you choose what's right for you.
Thank you from my heart. you give me that push to become uncomfortable and stop fighting myself to be better
I graduated this summer. And havent started studying for my board exam. Why? I DONT KNOW! I have always been an A student. I used to work hard and be so motivated to get what I wanted. Look at me now. Scared! Thinking that I will not pass my board. I really think that I wont success. I wonder if this video was a sign. I was literally begging God to help get myself together.... ❤️
been there done that..
If not for my mom who dragged me back to track.. I dont know where I ended up
It’s so on point what I’ve been through, as a housewives I feel so comfortable that I think I don’t need learn anything new. But the soul tell you, I miss learn and achive something new.
You’re like my new favorite song I listen to your podcasts on repeat the way I used to replay my favorite songs over and over 🫶🏽 every video only gets better thank you sister ☺️🫶🏽
somewhat summarized while watching to go back for it later
a correct mindset has self confidence, dont stick to things you're good at ( im good at studying im bad at cooking), youtube social media and all of these dopamine rushing things exist for that reason only, and one should use them for the mere fact of needing to relieve stress in leisure time, while the main use of our brains is in fact to work hard and create new neural paths (painful sometimes but it's rewarding) auto pilot mode leaves you tasteless, a very average person with nothing remarkable, because many people are on auto pilot mode all the time, very similar to each other, i like this so im keeping it 22:23 , im still at the fear zone, failures are brick stones that allow us to learn better and get closer, because we already overcame that psychological fear of actually making a move to go forward, kinda reminds me of archery; without trying your brain wrongly measures distances and isnt aware of how much power is needed to give the arrow the perfect boost, but when you try and fail, you understand the distance and the power and how it correlates with the speed of your arrow, the thing about the learning zone: 27:41 , "you cant depend on things staying forever if you're not giving them the proper attention", this is exactly what happens to brains and exactly why students suffered to get back on track after the pandemic, the last part is so beautiful 30:41 - 33:24 , pure discomfort, going out of your comfort zone is pure discomfort whether it means doing something or stopping yourself from doing something, btw, it's less rewarding sometimes because people hardly notice it when you try stopping yourself from doing something, it just requires strength it requires will power.
thank you for your effort Farah, we all pretty much appreciate it♥
I'm so glad that YT suggested ur vedio girl I love you 💗 I staaaaaan 🍃
9:47
This is very true, I'm a person who rarely compares herself to others, and instead of making life better for me it's actually limiting my perspective of life because i somehow choose not to see how it could be, how different life can be for me and a good way to see what could be is by looking at people.
Girl, your video's covers are the best 😭
"you can do that with action just as much as with inaction"❤ drawing a parallel of this statement with your "give something up for the sake of Allah" video
As a Russian I can’t believe how good you are omg!! No accent!!! You are very good!
im definitely getting comfortable rn even though the title made me uncomfortable
yk I've been thinking of starting a podcast channel for the longest time ever because i think that my mindset is worth sharing and the way i wanted my content to look like is literally what you do, so for integrity purposes, all im gonna do now is have your content as an inspiration because after watching few of your videos i genuinely believe that you're the woman version of me LMAO. good content frfr
wonder if these videos have scripts because idk if ill be able to stick to the topic without getting carried away by my imaginary train of thoughts
I'm glad I found this video because I need to face something uncomfortable tomorrow and the whole week. I hated the idea of beeing uncomfortable because talking to people or basicly sitting somewhere made me uncomfortable - it still makes me uncomfortable. I guess it's mainly because I live in europe since childhood and people here are so rude. I was always judged for my looks, my thinking, my religion like on every aspect. People looked down on me, were loud ect. so many things happened. So beeing in my comfort zone was the best thing to do and I did what felt good.
Unfortunately with time I discovered that I'm in the same place as I was. No job, no money, no relationship (marriage), no education- just nothing because of fear of judgment. When I started to challenge myself I was 27 years old- I went to university, I went out more, I started talking to people more. I'm 29 now still not much changed I stilll go to university and have still no job and am still not married. I still struggle with communication and going somewhere but after this video I loved that she said to grow you have to put yourself in an uncomfortable position (jihad) and that was I think something I needed to keep going and keep pushing. I hope with time I will get better and better. Make dua guys 🙂
Just started watching you a few weeks ago and I love you already Farah. Barakallah Feek
Just had an interview for my dream job, and I'm not sure about how the interview went. I'm trying not to freak out right now, but I came across this video. Thanks Farah. Please keep me in your duaas.
I didn’t realise how real this video was gonna be before I pressed it
It feels like you’re speaking to my soul thanku
I was always scared of going to the gym, but hearing you know i’m gonna do it ❤❤❤❤❤
Barakallahu feeki Jazakallahu khayran

Out of topic, but I am very blessed to have come across your UA-cam channel 🙏 ❤.
Wow how the heck did you get so many subscribers with so few videos? That's the true miracle! Very impressive
Thanks
there's a book called The Mountain is You, if people are interested in delving more into this topic. Love you, Farah xx
Thank you for the recommendation ❤
God really sent you for me ♥️🥺
Hello from Russia! Love your point of view 💢
THANK YOU, I feel like you just understand me 😢😢😢😢
Farah please keep doing that you really change my life , thank you.
this topic is such a current problem in my life, subanallah I really needed this. It really is such a challenge to go over these comfort zones, but it truely is so Important. Struggling forms us, struggling makes us human. Especially in Islam, struggling is so essential in this dunya to gain ease and beauty in the akhira. And the aspect of time is also SOOO important, both the fact that long kept comfort zones are likely to get more impossible to leave and also the fact that time is moving. Anything that happens, any fear and any struggle, will pass. Literally anything. We don't need to make things appear bigger in our mind. No fear is bigger than Allahs rahma, power and love.
I needed to hear that , thanks
