    Assalamu'Alaikum Sheikh.
    Hope you are doing well and fine. May Allah always keep you well and lead you in the way to Jannat-Al Firdaus.
    I wanted to tell you that, I love you a lot just for the sake of Allah Almighty. You are the only person whom I love this much without even meeting in person. It's all because of How Allah Almighty guided me to the straight path and grant me ease through one of your video.
    I was very misguided person. Like I used to do many sinful things and from time to time I even used to skip salah.
    But Alhamdu'lillah Allah gave me hidayah in this Ramadan (day or two before the last 10 days). I was in a problem. And I cried a lot on that night and I asked Allah Almighty to make everything easy for me. And Alhamdu'lillah he granted my wish. And I was able to see the sins which I committed. But it really overwhelmed me at that time. And I didn't have the proper knowledge. And I thought Allah might not forgive me. I did tawbah. But still I was in despair. But then one day of the last 10 days of Ramadan a video came up on UA-cam. The title was "Good muslim did zina but died in Masjid". I got very curious after seeing the title. Bcz zina is very big sin and still he died in Masjid. And that video was kind of like a turning point in my life. I believe that, I watched that video bcz Allah Almighty wanted me to watch that. That video was about "Ahmed the Repenter". And it was you who was telling the story of Ahmed.
    The way you said the story was so emotional that my heart got soften after years. And the way you recited the verses of the Surah Al-Furqan. It really touched my heart. And through that video I get to know that Allah Almighty will forgive me if I Repent and seek forgiveness sincerely. My heart felt ease. Bcz I used to think, Allah might not forgive me. But I was wrong. (May Allah forgive me for thinking that.) And after getting the hopes, I started praying more and more sincerely and Asked Allah to forgive me.
    Sheikh, now I am better person. I am not perfect. But still I am better than what I was before. It's all thanks to Allah Almighty. He gave me the opportunity to come to the straight path. And it was through you Allah given me the knowledge and the hope to be forgiven from my sins.
    Sheikh you are one of few people I love for the sake of Allah. And you are one of few people I love the most for the sake of Allah Almighty.
    May Allah bless you and your family. And may Allah grant Jannah to your son and brother.
    I kinda said a lot of things. But I really wanted to express my feelings towards you. That's all. Assalamu'Alaikum.

    My religious mother who bordered delusional divorced my dad based on a estekhareh, and took all belongings and vanished including us kids. Now my dad was the most righteous person Ive ever seen in my entire life. A role model for how a husband, father, friend, neighbour, citizen should be. No bad bone in his body. Just an endless giver and provider with a heart of gold and totally selfless. He was brutally left behind. Luckily I took my father's side and moved in with him and spent the rest of his life living with him. He died 2 months ago from a sudden heart attack and his absence has been a tremendous loss as he was a father mother and friend in 1 to me and now I'm mourning his death alone.
    Side note, the estekhareh was done by a sheikh in a mosque and the decision was made to divorce him.
    I love Islam, but it scares me when for some it borders delusional.

      In relation to your last sentence, Islam is not delusional, Muslims are. Well, some of them. It's important to surround yourself with learned men like Brother Belal and then to know Allah & the Prophet's teachings for yourself (SWT.) Allah is not the God of confusion. Therefore anything that stirs confusion in your life cannot be from his Mercy. The truth is clear n sobering. N you don't have to REACT to it. I hope I made sense. 😂💚

      You need to be careful in choosing who you Ask in your religion . And make sure you dont take knowledge from innovators , especially when it Comes to a topic of istikhara , a lot of deviated people who claim religious knowledge Can mislead you. And , , if you want istikhara i thibk you do it yourself for yourself you Can Ask othrrs to advice you but you do istikhara for yourselfand Allahou alam if someone else Can Do it for you , or in addition with you , you Can Do research if you want Allahou alam
      Also , was your fther religious ? If hewasnt prying or she left him for religious reasons , she might be on haqq

    Assalamu Aalykum. SubhanAllah, wonderful advice sheikh! You are one of my beloved Sheikh for the sake of Allah. May Allah reward you abundantly and grant you with you loved ones Jannat-ul-firdaus. Ameen.
    Like you, i am fascinated by dreams.I saw many beautiful dreams in my life, SubhanAllah. Most of them happened by the grace of Allah.I love Allah (swt) very much and happy for whatever situation He (swt) put me, SubhanAllah. Even when I didn’t know the meaning and process of doing Istikhara, I can remember that I prayed the same dua always when I decided to do sth, SubhanAllah!This is how Allah (swt) guides ppl,Allahu Akbar!
    For past four years, I've been praying istikhara about marrying a specific person, still no progress. But that's okay, as long as I am guided. Three years before, I saw the letters of that person's name written in a white board in arabic (i am not an Arabic speaking person). I was drove in the dark and forced to see it. I wake up in shock! Still this dream overwhelm me. But I'm not relying on it. Because Allah (swt) is the best planner and I want blessings and the best from my creator. It looks like both of us still waiting secretly for each other that we didn’t share!! Our families aren't supportive. May Allah (swt) give us a proper solution, Ameen.
    I love the last part of the dua of Istikhara. "and decree for me goodness wherever it may be and make me content with it." please, keep us in your prayer Sheikh. Assalamu Aalykum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh.

    Just like you have said about some elders misleading the younger ones, we have been made to believe that there's no goodness in people of a particular local government.
    So if an Istikharah is done on a person who happens to be from this local government, and the simple fact that the parents refuses is because of cultural prejudice, is that Islamic? And is it advisable to make little efforts by persuasion or the refusal is a sign of Istikharah??

    In the subject marriage there are often, actually 80% , talks about young people. What about the people past 50 and more, who maybe lost a spouse or who passt a divorced but still who are longing for a another chance to share the rest of their life with a spouse! Why is this? There are no ladies or gentlemen passt 50 and more wo like to Not be single or alone? This is a gap in Islam that needs attention. In'shallah there are people who taking on this subject to advice ..I am a lady who is divorced, working and still nice looking but more so with a good character..there are thousands of single peolpe in advanced age who are alone..is it a shame?

      AsAlaykum sister, may Allah bless you for your valuable comment. All of what is spoken about here also applies to people of older age, they are the same rules and similar advises. Our youth are the majority who lack wisdom and experience , and perhaps that is why we focus on them a bit more. However, I understand more and more older people are falling into this situation and in today’s world marriage is becoming more delayed and other new scenarios. Inshllah, I will dedicate a session for people above 40 some time.

    • @belal.assaad
      @belal.assaad  Рік тому +11

      That is something only Allah knows. We do not know the circumstances between them except what is apparent. Why the marriage went through, what was known but ignored, was it meant to be for those 3 children to come into this world for a future reason, what is the future after this? Allah knows. We tend to think in a restricted present short term, such as ‘well if the marriage didn’t work then it must be bad’. Only Allah knows what this circumstance holds in ten future. Perhaps those children had to exist for a reason Allah knows, had they not married those children wouldn’t exist. We can say a thousand speculations. This is the point of istikhara we keep telling people, stop expecting something specific and then judging the istikhara or Du’a or whatever, istikhara means to submit our affairs to Allah that no matter what the outcome, wether seemingly good or seemingly bad, to Aimee of Allah well and that there is a wisdom, maybe a plan, maybe a good to come out if what had ti happen etc. we keep moving forward, we keep making Du’a and do not let this moment in life swerve us from our creator and lose ourselves. We try again and keep moving with trust. To avoid the thought ‘what if’ and say ‘Alhamdulillah, what Allah has willed for me is where I am meant to be’. Ask Allah from his provision and goodness and guidance and keep going, inshllah.

    I agree that Islam is practical but it is also spiritual otherwise it is a bunch of rituals. Both are necessary. You are wrong to judge the spiritual element as insignificant.

    • @belal.assaad
      @belal.assaad  Рік тому +7

      Thank you for your input. The spiritual element is very significant in all our worship and du’a. However, there is no evidence in the Quran and Sunnah to suggest that Istikhara is followed by a dream, a specific feeling or a specific sign. It is a du’a, and it contains Tawakkul on Allah that He will guide you to what is best like other du’as. To insist that there has to be a spiritual sign of some sort is not backed by evidence, it could happen, but people have become too reliant on this regarding istikhara that they have been disappointed as they put their trust in specific signs rather than their trust in the outcome that Allah decrees for them. The 2 elements here are: practical (asbaab) and tawakkul (trust in Allah).

      If negative then the thing example- marriage, university entrance decision, job won’t happen

      It means that whatever happened to you was good for you. I prayed Istikhara for an engagement and it didn't work out , but I recently learned that my istikhara prayer was accepted ! Allah answered it because getting engaged and then being single again made me experience so much things that brought me closer to Him❤❤❤
