The Prophet (peace be upon him) said:
"When Allah desires good for someone, He tries him with hardships."
[Sahîh al-Bukhârî]
@manpool FC what you mean by I am dead ??
Thank you brother, this is really helped me from depression
Ibn Qayyim (raḥimahullāh) said: “Distress, Depression & Anxiety only comes from two things:
١. Desiring the Dunya & avidly seeking it
٢. Neglecting righteous deeds & obedience”
[‘Uddatus-Sābireen: 256]
Doesn't matter it's a punishment or test just turn to Allah(s.w.t) and make Dua and have patience...
inshallah you will get relief...
I agree 🥰
If Allah is fulfilling your prayers, He is increasing your belief,
If He is delaying fulfilling your prayers, He is increasing your patience,
If He is not answering your prayers, then He is testing you!
Ideal Muslim this needs to be top comment
H. Ambrin Brother, I very much love your comments, but can you try to include the references in the Quran and Hadith, or references that support it. JizakAllah
MashAllah 100%😍😍😍
@@HHHondaHHH don't use 👌 it doesn't mean something good or well done... It is coming from the satanic symbolism (it signes 666)
And 😉 (expressing the one eyed Dajjal)
@@ShshshsH12356 Ah really I didn't know that.
Thank you for the information and InshAllah I won't use those signs again!☺
Ya Allah give us extreme happiness in this world and the next ameen

When things get tough just remember:
(1) This life is a test and Allaah is testing us
(2) This dunya is very short and then comes the Day of Judgement
(3) Remember the trials of the Prophets, Shahabas, Scholars, and have patience
(4) With patience comes immense reward
(5) Death is at our doorstep and what really matters is if you obeyed Allaah's commands or not.
H. A. I don’t want Paradise!
@@leun6768 that is so sad because you will burn in hell for ever
@@i76staar6 I dont want Hell either but I dont want Paradise. And by the way how do you find the punishment of eternal Hell just?
@@leun6768 why you do not want paradise?
@@i76staar6 I dont like the description of it and I dont want a palace, 72 spouses, have everything I wish, rivers of honey, milk and wine. Do you know what I really want? To relive my childhood from this earth without knowing Ive chosen this decision. I want to relive my childhood exactly how it was.
I am not a muslim, but watching your videos simply gives me positive views and awakens me inside.
madzshe 17 May Allah swt guide you, that is beautiful of you to say!
You have to pray to Allah sincerely from your heart to show you the truth as a truth and the false as a false ...and He will do it
MashaAllah!!!
Feels really good to hear it!
Actually the truth is whether you be Muslim or Non Muslim we are all looking for peace!
May Allah (swt) guide us all to the right path
If it awakens u then u should take it that itz the truth bro.. Please dont waste time in accepting truth.
But you should start to become a Muslim but Allah will test you to see if you are worthy enough for going to heaven when you die.
Its simple. If a hardships brings you closer to Allah, it's a test. If hardships makes you disobey Allah even more, it's a punishment.
Mustafa Malik That's not necessarily true. During a test, Shaytan can whisper, "this is your fault. Allah doesn't want you anymore." In a moment of vulnerability that may lead someone slightly away from the path.
SubahanAllah
I’ve heard that too, but is there any reference or evidence backed up by this
Mustafa Malik best reply jazakallah for this may allah reward u
Abdullahi Ibn Gregory I agree with you 110%, that shaytan will attempt to deceive you from the Rahman of Allah. But my point still stands, if you have iman, and you truly believe in Allah, then Allah will never leave you astray, even if shaytan attempts to deceive you.
It also helps to remind myself everything that happens to a believer is a blessing.
If something good happens, he is thankful; if something bad happens, he is patient.
If we knew how Allah manages our affairs, our heart would melt out of love for him.
The toughest things I had to deal with were blessings in disguise bringing me closer to Allah (swt). SubhanAllah!
MariamK101 Mash'allah (s.w.t) Sister! you couldn't have said it better!!!! very lovely!! :)
+MariamK101 yepp felt closer to allah when praying for my house and now to get married hehe
MariamK101 thanks for your wise words sis

Never will Allah burden you with a hardship He knows you are not capable of handling.
In Surat Al-Baqarah, Allah says, “Allah does not charge a soul except [with that within] its capacity”, which means He only gives you that which you strong enough to carry. This is a relief in itself because Allah, most-Knowledgeable, knows our capacities best. So, hold on to be patience no matter how difficult it may seem. Our struggle, as excessive as it may be, is but a temporary one. The wave will pass but we would have missed out on the reward. Rely on Allah and don’t let these minutes go to waste. Just be patient a little more and Allah, All-Mighty, will provide you with a relief soon.
Allah never breaks His promises!
H. A. Tell that to anyone who committed suicide or had such a sh.tty life that they became criminals.
It feels like an honor to be burdened with something that you think is so massive but Allah thinks you are perfectly capable of handling it.
@@Sargon288 I myself can testify this is true.
When I was younger I had a very hard life growing up, one calamity after another and I was so depressed I gave up hope completely, may Allah forgive me🤲.
Standing on a high building ready to jump one summer day, I looked up and I desperately asked Allah to give me one reason not to jump because I couldn't find one myself at the time. When I looked down again I saw a man pushing his adult son in a wheelchair and I remembered the young man was paralyzed from the neck down. So there was my answer, I was so drowning in my misery all this time I never saw I still had my health to be thankful for and I had a lot of other things too. It was like a veil had been lifted from my eyes and for the first time in years I could see the beauty of the sky, the trees and the birds flying above my head. I came down and immediately started practicing my Deen again.
I still had the same problems for a while but somehow they didn't feel so heavy anymore, and little by little my life started to change for the better alhamdulillah.
I always believed in Allah but for years I thought He had abandoned me, but the truth was that I had abandoned Him!
After that experience I am strongly convinced a strong spiritual connection with God is the key to both examples you gave, because He will give you strength and you never feel lonely having God on your side.
As a Muslim ofcourse I would say Islam is the right Path for all mankind, but if you haven't come to that conclusion yet than at least hold on to your Creator, and sincerely ask Him to help you and lead you to the right Path.
I now no longer despair, because I have experienced: "fa inna ma'a al'usri yusra" (verily after difficulty come ease).
And many of the hardships I went through turned out to be blessings in the end, subhanallah.
Alhamdulillah, Allahu Akbar!
@@Sargon288 For those with no beliefs in anything, yes they do give up.
All that is being said here, in this comment you're replying on and this video, is only applied to a Believer.
So don't bring up people and cultures where they willingly discarded God LONG before an unfortunate calamity like suicide happens to them, thank you very much.
Omg, I hope Allah cures me, because tinnitus stays your whole life.
We all make mistakes. Allah (SWT) is the most forgiving.
Brother Nouman: you explain things the way I never knew. May Allah be pleased with you n give baraka to your efforts. When I listen to you, my heart finds peace n I become happy. Thank you so much.
TheNeeloj JizakAllah to Nouman and you.
Same here Alhumdulillah
I had a car accident a year ago. I tried to lie about it. I couldn't sleep from the guilt. In the end I told the truth and repented to Allah for lying. A week later I got the next model up of my previous car. I didn't even make dua to Allah that I wanted the next model up. I used to look at it and say to myself; "I want that car!"
subhan Allah
Qyuubi786 eh you won a lottery?
That's the mercy of Allah(SWT)
Qyuubi786 nice
MashAllah😊❤
Allah said that he doesn't put a believer through calamities, that he knows u can get though. he doesn't put anything that you can't handle. I believe that's a blessing. alhamdulliah.
Ray Mason that he knows you can’t get through*...you have written can
I just got " released " from my job in this oil &gas company due to the business is very bad currently.
I have a lot of commitments to take care of. It hits me so hard to the point that I can only smile by im actually crying from the inside.
Then,after doing some job hunting, ive managed to secure a new position. A few weeks later, which is this evening, called me and said, he might going to hire somebody else. He said, if the guy didnt come for the interview, then i can come on the next day.
Oh, Allah tests for me is so hard. Oh Allah, if this test is to increase my rewards and patience, then make me stronger in dealing with it.
Brother and sisters, please pray that I got the job.
Kuro Senpai Salam brother...How is things going??...Hope you are well...May Allah Make things easy for you and everyone of us..Aameen

"Or do you think that you will enter Paradise while such [trial] has not yet come to you as came to those who passed on before you? They were touched by poverty and hardship and were shaken until [even their] messenger and those who believed with him said,"When is the help of Allah?" Unquestionably, the help of Allah is near." [2:214]
Hardship can be a sign that Allah hasn't given up on you despite all your shortcomings and sinful ways : He will keep diping you in what you dislike the most until you learn SUBMISSION and TRANSCENDANCE. In other words, until you grow spiritually beyond the petty discomforts and the petty aspirations of this earthly life, that is, until you become immuned to the unplesant things in this life.
Whatever things happen to you - good or bad - it is not a surprise to Allah, for He knows all things from the begining till the end, it is only a surprise to you. If Allah wanted you to have a life where you are all the time wealthy ($), healthy (no diseases), emotionally unscathed (no one hurt you)...etc, do you really think it would have been difficult for Him to
make it so ?. OF COURSE NOT. You belong to HIM : if He wants to give you times of ease and abundance, it is too easy for Him, if He wants to give you hardship and scarcity it is too easy for him. So why not just SUBMIT, accept it, do your best and let Allah do the rest ??.
Hardship can also be a blessing in this life : Allah is merciful and JUST. If you break His commandments, you have to pay somehow someday, even if only symbollically. Paying in this life for our sins (disease, accident, loss of money, getting cold, getting hot...etc) is a blessing because the only way to pay for sins in the next life is the fire of Hell.
If you suffer from chronic anxiety (just like the ignorants and the fouls hooked on big pharma pills) it only means one thing : the muslim layer you are wearing is a very thin layer, and underneath it there is a whole lot of confusion, ignorance (of the messages of The Quran), thirst for the illusions of this life, maybe a hungry ugly ego too ......etc. It is a sign that it is time to REALLY understand Islam and REALLY make it enter your heart AND your mind.
"The Bird of Paradise Alights Only On The Hand That Does Not Grasp."
MrSayonara7777 your comment has shaken me from inside. Thank you may Allah Grant you jannah.
I agree with what you say! But anxiety isn’t necessarily due to bad iman,Sometimes it’s becoz mental illness which most ppl in Muslim community don’t believe in,Even Nouman Ali khan advocates for therapy
Assalamu alaikum. Words of splendour and insightful wisdom are abundantly prevalent in ur msg. There’s no peace and tranquility than the state of being in eternal submissiveness and humbleness to our lord. It’s the biggest strength that u a human being can attain.
from last 26 yrs I am in a trail of Allah ...make dua for us
May Allah SWT help you. I'd always dua for a=every hardship soul in this world, including animals too who can not express. Allah loves who loves his creations. Please read Surah Al-Kahf - 10, Allah SWT's 99 names these are great great great DUA which I benefited from many anxiety, depression...Zikr is the most effecting which one's hardest soul can talk to his creator Allah and Allah response promptly , blv me . However, my sufferings not go away for whole...but I try my best every time and soon I feel extremely better Alhamdulillah.
May Allah ease your burden
May allah gives you a long and happy life noman ali khan
Waheed Khan and you too Ameen
Ameeeeeeeen
Who did listen it 2019 ?
the quran starting at 0:11 u can feel how powerful Allaah's words are 😥
The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: “If Allah wants good for his servant, He hurries on His punishment in this world, and if He wills ill for a servant, he holds back punishing him for his sin so He can give it to him in full on the Day of Resurrection."
"Sins need to be burnt, either with the pain of regret in this world or with the fire of hell in the hereafter." - Ibn Al-Qayyim
Thank you so much, I've been so terrified. I know I'm going through a punishment, and it's for not being thankful. The only problem is I'm extremely depressed now, and fall under anxiety and distress. I just want to go to jannah. I just want all this to be gone
H. A. If you get regret in this world that means no more punishment?
@@hellothere4779 How are you feeling now, are you still depressed !? 😯
You have to be patience and strong and put your trust in Allah alone and do a lot of thikr, listen and recite from the Quran (*Stay Away From music!!*) and keep on listening to videos like this .. And InshAllah be ithen illah believe me you will Literally feel Allah's Love and Mercy rushing Upon You In No time!❤
So beautiful subhanAllah
@@hellothere4779 you will insha Allah. Keep praying a lot regularly and say astaghfar a lot. You'll be OK insha Allah.
I'm sorry i feel like talking about my life story in this comment section. I'm only 23 but my life wasn't the most fun at all. I had a bad relationship with my parents, i had a particular traumatic event in my preteen that kinda stunted my growth during my teenage years. In my early 20's i tried to be better to have a place in society, but then last year i faced something that really brought my life to shambles: i fought a lot with my parents, i had a difficult relationship with a guy i liked, and my undergrad thesis didn't go well, plus my academic advisor belittled me so much it made me lose confidence in myself. It took a lot of me to finally get back up and stop loathing myself. Tho one thing i'm grateful for is that it brings me to Allah tho it took months for me to realize that. This video gives me a new perspective that whatever calamities i faces, it was because Allah let it happen. I think it was both because i made a mistake and Allah wanted to test me since there were a lot of things out of my control yet i also didn't handle my life properly. In retrospect, i'm grateful now that i'm here finally finding my sanctuary in Allah. I wish i could be consistent in this path, i'm just starting. Thank you brother for your explanation, i found this in the perfect moment when i needed this.
Do the people think that they will be left to say, "We believe" and they will not be tried? But We have certainly tried those before them, and Allah will surely make evident those who are truthful, and He will surely make evident the liars. [29:2-3]
Mashaallah, as always, Nouman Ali Khan hits the target. Alhamdulillah for people like him. May Allah grant him a long and healthy life, ameen.
Every one of these videos is a valuable life lesson. May Allah reward all the Quran weekly team for their efforts and grant us the ability to implement and practices these miraculous wisdom's in our lives. Ameen.
ameen!!
ameen
I twisted my ankle while coming down the stairs at work and can't walk at all. Now everyone says I've been punished by Allah. I know I'm very sinful but I believe in Allah ta'ala's kindness and mercy and that He'd always protect me.
whatever Allah(SWT) does is for our goods. Allah knows best his creation.
brother Noman Ali khan: Allah swt guided me through your youtube video! Thank you so much, May Allah swt grant you and your family Jannatul Ferdous.
Ameeen
My father is very ill...Please keep him on your dua in prayer....I am seeking to Allah for forgiveness and his healing...
I have a chronic liver disease, my feet are swollen because of the disease, I’m in pain, may Allah cure me, Ameen. Please make Duah for me.
Even comments below this video are simply wonderful n able to increase ur inner goodness. May Allah help us all n give success in both lives Ameen

Informative video. Jazakallah khayr for these videos, truly is an eye opener
We say InshaAllah (If God`s willing) for things yet to happen.
We say Alhamdulilah (Thank God) for anything that happens good or bad.
We say MashaAllah (God has made it possible).
This 3 words or (realities) are some of the many beliefs that unite all Muslims on planet earth and they are use probably million times a day.

barakAllahu fikom
جزاك اللهُ خيرًا
subhan ALLAH ! thank u very much got it
BarakAllahu feek!. I did let myself go deep into the path of self-loathing for a long time but Alhamdullah over the years I started disliking myself less. I do hold myself responsible for everything, even when someone has done wrong to me. Now I won't say that I do love myself now but I feel better than I was when I was a teenager. There's a phrase you mentioned that really caught my eye "Only through the love of Allah you find love for yourself and esteem for yourself" . I have always suffered of these two difficulties: self-loathing and zero self-esteem. Nothing I have ever done helped me in loving myself and having esteem for myself and here it is a simple and effective way to do it " Loving Allah". Jazak Allahu khairan!
Good explanation, I like when knowledged people explain with references to The Holy Quran and Sunnah.
Alhamdulillah, clear explanation, keep up ur good work
Great insight into the topic!
Very helpful. Thanks a lot.
God bless you!
May Allah ease the life whoever going through hardship.
Thank you for the validation
الْلَّهُم صَلِّ وَسَلِم وَبَارِك عَلَى سَيِّدِنَا محمد
Great explanation. Thank you
Alhamdulillah.... thank you Allah.. finally, the question that I've asked my bestfriend for the past years is answered in this video. May Allah bless you and all of us.. Aameen..
Adah Redha You should look up your questions online so that it is answered by a scholar or ask a scholar yourself, usually friends wont be able to answer Islamic question, or at least not nearly as well
May Allah bless you
He always tells about good things about Islam may god bless u and ur family 😇
I am learning so much from you NAK. Him and Omar Suleiman. These two I like.
So understandible speech for my brain, bless you Allah!
? Bless whom?
Thanks you sir
What a beautiful explaination
Jazakallahu khoiron 👌👌👌
Allah is perfect and Allah never wrongs anyone, He only does truth and good, take responsibility for your sins and repent inshaAllah everything will be good pray for each other.
و عليكم السلام و رحمة الله وبركاته
جزاكم الله خيرا
Brilliant explanation MashAllah
To sum it all up, Islam is a balance between two extremes for pretty much every situation!
Great video mashallah
I've got tinnitus yesterday, the same day I forgot to recite a dua, i guess I have to live with this noise in my head the whole life but, Alhamdulilah!
MashAllah people these day spreading Islam MashAllah sooooooo Happy ;)
