I don’t talk to my father ! I tried but he doesn’t! Last time he saw me I was 6 years old. I have tried to contact him so I went to social media and I saw the face of my father after years I was 21 y.o and he told me : I don’t need contact not with you not with your mother 😢 I can’t understand how a father can be so heartless… My father made the life of my mother hell he paid the lawyers and judges my mother can not travel to her country because of him (they will detain her immediately) Sometimes I ask god why me ? But I know he’s the best planner ! And please people don’t leave your children alone… they need a father and mother 😢
i reverted to Islam last 2022 & my parents doesn't know yet I'm a Muslim, but i intend to inform them soon this Ramadan, insha'Allah. I've always been afraid and worried how they'd react knowing they're devoted Catholics & really against the idea of having a muslim daughter. This episode made me embrace more the idea that i am born into this family for a reason that only Allah SWT knows about & that fact alone is what I also have to trust. And perhaps, just maybe.. my longingness for my parents to be also guided to Islam will be just one step closer, insha'Allah, the moment I tell them i reverted to Islam. May Allah SWT grant ease to reverts who are also going through the same thing; and May Allah SWT make us among those who witness Laylatul Qadr. Jazakallah khair for this, Dr. Omar Suleiman and to the team behind this Ramadan series ! 🤍
May Allah make it easy on you sister. Any battle that comes for the right cause, is worth fighting. I pray Allah guides your parent to the light too. 🙏🏼
I pray for ease for you sister, parents can never forsake their children. Even if they are upset/angry in time they will mellow because they love you. Just be respectful to them and continue keeping your ties . Insha Allah everything will be fine, Allah knows your situation and he is testing you.
I've been crying since the first episode, I reverted to Islam last month and my mother who is Christian has been helping me with suhoor, iftar and everything for this Ramadan, May Allah grant her the highest level of Jannah, this episode increased My love and respect for her ❤
Allahumma ameen Thank you!! May allah bless you with beautiful things and give you better than what you expected and give you good health and happiness. Allahuma ameen.
I hesitated to watch this one. My family is not Muslim, my father was abusive and has not spoken to me in years since I openly came out as Muslim. My mother loves me but it’s emotionally abusive. My heart was heavy to hear this, so I waited. Yesterday I was telling my children about one part of my childhood, not a particularly bad part but ugly and I’ve come to a place where I can laugh about it and use it as a lesson for my kids. At the end of the story, I finished with “and this is why I want all of you to stay far away from cigarettes” and my teenager tells me “that’s just proof you’re a better parent than your parents were” and in that one line I think my daughter healed some of my childhood trauma. Your reminder of Ibrahim growing up with a father so wretched that he tried to throw him into the fire, and Moses growing up under firoun, combined with my daughter’s words has me in tears still. All I’ve ever wanted was to be better for my children than my parents were for me, and in return for my children to become better than me.
Thank you for sharing your story. You choosing the path of righteousness and care for your children speaks volumes about your character & I just know Allah SWT is proud of you. May He make it easy upon you and may your children grow as leaders amongst the righteous, iA!
How does Sheikh know what is going on in our lives and release exact the content that we need which pacifies our heart instantly through the magnificent work of his team? May Allah make us better Muslims this Ramadan by accepting our flaws, His decree and make us content with it. Don’t forget to pray for our Palestinian brothers and sisters 🇵🇸
Allah always sent the right people at the right place and time on His own timing. That's His mercy. Likewise, the situation in Gaza ... Will have the right time for it to end, SubhanAllah!
I don't usually comment but i couldn't resist this time. I need to let out these words. I've been with Yaqeen Institute it's been 3 years and I've watched the previous 2 years of Ramadan series. But this series in this Ramadan is very different than the others. It's like everything I ever needed to know. Everything I've been looking for. It's way too personal subhanAllah. I live in a very toxic family environment. Even the energy here drains me and demotivates me so much. I've been struggling more and more for the past 2 years. But Recently I almost gave up and started lose all my hope. And now as I'm watching this series everything is making sense. Allah directly giving me signs Allahu akbar. I'm so grateful for this series 🤍
I can feel you. This video hits hard. I don't have the best family dynamic and it's a constant struggle to forget what my father made my family go through but trying to come closer to Allah has helped me in easing my heart and made me less resentful towards him. I just hope and pray that one day we forget all the unpleasant memories and forgive everyone who ever hurt us for the sake of Allah.
I realized my parent needed more mercy only after he passed, give your parents more grace as they are just human too and are just trying to navigate life no matter how they treated you.
Because of the abuse and trauma I suffered when I was 8-18 years of age, my memory is absolutely terrible. I can hardly remember the good things from that time, the blessings. May Allah return the memory of those blessings back to me and help us all who suffer. ameen
Everyone please say Alhamdulliah for all the blessings Allah has given us. Say it multiple times. Say it everyday. Even if our life is full of hardship, say Alhamdulliah that we are muslim. I pray that everyone reading this will inshallah enter jannah with me and may allah grant us all wealth, health, and patience. Amin.
My late father rahimahullah was an orphan. And by Allah SWT he was the best father I could ever ask for. May Allah SWT place him in jannatul firdaws and may one day I can join him in it. Amiin
As someone who is the only one to accept Islam in my family, this episode really resonated with me. Leaving behind my whole upbringing and unlearning so much which led me here today as a proud Muslim. Alhamdulilah Thank you for this series.
My father is one of the main sources of pain in my adult life. When I spoke up about being violated by a family member as a child, he abandoned me in my pain, ostracized me, and vilified me. To this day we don’t speak, though we used to be close. I wish I had a father figure to bring his presence and wisdom, but may Allah make it easier for me to forgive him and forgive myself 💜.. and may one day I be guided to a teacher who helps me heal.
I understand how hard this must be for you but please reach out to him and forgive him. He may not know any better. May Allah make it extremely easy for you
@@habibasuleiman5831 he’s a grown man with money and power who has said he cares more about his reputation than truly helping or extending me compassion. He does know better.
Sometimes parents cannot deal with the guilt of not being there to protect you and the guilt is so overwhelming, they react in the opposite way that the victim needs! Sometimes a person needs to be forgiven when they least deserve it to break through that guilt. May Allah (SWT) make it easy for both of you. You are Not to blame! You already seem very empathetic due to your experience. May this experience help others. In’cha Allah you will be of those that is granted paradise and never ever remember any hardships you endured in this donya due to your joy and gratitude of being granted Paradise- Ameen 🤲🏻
Every morning at this time my tears are flowing from these lessons.. I have a difficult childhood and are estranged now from some of my own children. I pray Allah swt heal my heart and my parents my family and my children and grandchildren. The healing is coming In-sha-Allah. Its time for us to heal. May Allah have Mercy on my soul.
Ameen. 🤲 I pray that Ar Rahmah showers His Mercies upon you, your children, your grandchildren and your parents to make the reconciliation a beautiful and easy one, dear Sis. Ameen, Ya Sam'iu du'a.
Ameen! May Allah swt comfort your heart and mend the relationships with your children, grandchildren and all your loved ones. May He grant you strength and relief, and I pray that you and your family will be granted the highest ranks in Jannah by His Mercy, ameen!
In’cha Allah you be the spouse and parent you wish to attract in your life. Keep learning and making duaa 🤲🏻 and may Allah (SWT) make it all easy for you. Ameen. 🤲🏻
This really hits home for someone who has had to deal with a difficult parent to be around. I always questioned, why me? Why couldn’t I have a nicer parent like other children who are loved? Tears kept falling as I watched this. Everything makes sense. Thank you for this series. You have no idea how many hearts you are healing through this. 🥹🥺🤲🏼
I appreciate this perspective. As a revert, I definitely have struggled with how to make sense of my dysfunctional and abusive childhood in the light of the fact that I am Muslim now. I do see it as something that strengthened me and that Allah brought me through but at the time it was awful and has cost me nearly 2 decades in therapy to even try to get some sense of it. I pray that whoever reads this has a blessed Ramadan, and may all of your good deeds be rewarded and all of your bad deeds be forgiven, Ameen.
So often we look for someone outside of us to heal us, guide us, protect us when all along we have Him (Allah) and the ability to become our own Hero. May Allah help you find Your Hero, the person you seek in yourself.
Aameen. May Allah bless you with a righteous spouse who loves you so much for the Sake of Allah. May your spouse guide you to Jannah. May Allah bless you with a peaceful home with beautiful and healthy kids. May Allah bless you with the best in laws as well. Read this daily, In Sha Allah you will find a good spouse soon: Rabbana hablana min azwajina wa dhurriyatina qurrata aayunw wa ja’alna lil muttaqeena imama. [ Surah furqaan verse no. 74]
Today At 48 yrs of age. My whole child hood flashed back in these 10 mins. I couldnot stop my tears. My childhood was difficult despite that I cant thank Allah subhanatalah enough for giving me parents who cared for me so much. As you said no one is perfect. May Allah forgive our sins. May Allah have mercy upon my parents as they cared for me when i was young. Ameen
May Allah bless sheikh omar Suleiman, ever since I started listening to his lecture, I have learnt a lot from him.may Allah grant him and his family high rank in jannahtul fardows 🤲
For the past few years, I have struggled with depression. In my mind, I remembered my father at his worst and almost blanked out any good from him. Alhamdulilah, I'm coming to terms with the childhood trauma and trying to forgive him. I have just realised that although we hold our parents to a high standard of accountability,they are still human and carry their own baggage through parenthood. I hope I can learn from his mistakes and be more mindful with my child.
Please God forgive me, but I'm dreading the next episode of this series. I'm starting to think this is only for people who come from happy, loving parents. All it's doing is reminding me of how awful childhood was. Allah saved me with Islam, can't I just leave it at that?
@melaniehassler2405 you know ever since i was a child there was alot of hardship i face with family relationship, especially my mother , only until i was 25 i saw immense change in my family circumstances . The dua about my family is answered even though then it seem like it was impossible to happen but i kept repeting it regardless, so do not stop praying for your circumstances, inshallah i pray your's will be answered too
if it is of any comfort to you, I didn't come from a happy loving family. We were Pakistani Muslims and we were doing very well financially. My sister started hanging around the wrong crowd and started using drugs in middle school and high school, things went downhill as my mom never recovered from that shock and suffered severe PTSD. My father was responsible for a lot of corrupting of my sister. I was focused on my studies as I was much older. My younger brother's childhood was disrupted. my parents divorced. You will never believe the things we witnessed and the aggressive outbursts from my sister and father. It seems like it was out of a horror movie. @@melaniehassler2405
trust me I understand you, at least your relationship with your family changed for better right, I'm not close with my family at all even though i leave with them
The visual accompaniment to the teaching really got to me 😢 may Allah guide the children who were born into hardship and make the difficulty before them that which beautifies them
I find myself getting choked up multiple times in just a 10 minute episode 🥲 May Allah bless Sheikh Omar and the entire team, and their families, and all who listen and their families, Ameen. What a beautiful and unique topic SubhanAllah enjoying every minute of it
This just made me realise how bad my grandfather was to my father, but how great father he was to me, a kid born with some sort of disease. Masha Allah. (Just lost him 7 months back)
As Salaamu Alaykum. Growing up, I had many opportunities to overcome obstacles, including an abusive childhood. This is a great reminder to focus on the good aspects of our youth and to work through the pain. Jazakallahu khayrun.
I'd like to have a talk with Omar Suleiman about where do we draw the line for being good to ur parents even if they were abusive. What about sexual abuse? That is definitely not something a person can just forgive and move on especially when everyone wants to act like nothing happened and ignore my pain while they're out there living their best lives.
As someone who deals with childhood traumatic experiences, this video helps me re-thinking my childhood and begin to see it differently. Thank you for the content, it never ceases to amaze me everytime.
I wish omar suleiman brings a series for small kids next ramadan Which is more engaging and easy for them to understand. Our ummah needs a lot of support. May Allah guide us
Whether we realize the tremendous blessings our parents have been or not, may we be the doorway of exponential and unlimited blessings for our parents. Ameen
Mashallah my mom passed away rahimuhallah four months ago because of cancer 😔and I missed her so much for those who reading this love ur mom as much as u can, hug her and take care of her You may lose her at any moment May allah gather us in heaven together
You may have no idea Shaikh Omar as to how many of those thousands who have faced parental abuse and are caught in an extremely soul wrenching battle between how to create a safe distance with abusive parents, and still not having the guilt of being a tyrant themselves abandoning their parents specially when they may be ailing or have attained old age are going to have a way of putting into perspective what happened with them and why it all happened and hence chart out the best way forward. Just this one episode and those words u said there can emancipate the pain and suffering of so many. May Allah bless you with peace .
This episode hit somewhere deep in me. "We are bound to our parents" and that's unchangeable. May Allah heal us all, bless them and us and give us the patience to deal with each other in the right manner. May Allah grant our parents and us Jannah 🥹 and reunite us as family In Jannah. Allahuma aamin!
Make them realize how bad of an effect theyve had. Thatll depend parent to parent. For some your words are enough, for some your rleatives or elders or someone they respect could convince them, and for some maybe a doctor or therapist or imam talking will help. There are a rare few who are completely unwilling then just fulfill your duties and keep your distance.
Allah asks us to be humble and that requires accepting that we are not in control of the outcome, your parents may or may not change during this life. What we do have control over is the words and actions that we project, they are what we will be accountable for. It is a long and hard process to accept that change may not come but to still go on trying your best.
Lost mother sept 2022. Wallahi "voice that follows you for a lifetime" hit like a bag of bricks. After she is gone her advice/sayings rings so loud in my head "Nothing worth getting in this life comes easy, there are no shortcuts" "Relax your tense shoulders, stand/sit up straight!" "Dry your hair/wear a cap when you go out you're gonna get a cold!" "You don't know what you missed out on growing up in America. Take your brother back to Pakistan with you after I'm gone if you have to." "When will you quit this video game? When I'm gone?" "You understimate Pakistani women." "Hurry up and get married before I'm gone Hamza." "You are grossed out when I'm washing the meat but you love eating it when it's cooked!" "Don't become a slave to your desires." "Say the 3 Kul before you go to bed, you'll fall asleep faster" "Why didn't you call me back? I've called you ten times!" So many times after a long conversation, astagfiruallah, I told her the most terrible thing: "Are you done?" Anyways, I can only make dua now. Salam laykum.
As a mother with a son myself I can tell how much she loves you...😢 You might hear it as a constant nagging but for us mothers it's because we loves our son so much 😢 May Allah Grant Her Jannah ❤
You can do more for her to please her, even when she is gone. Do those things she asked from you. Cant remember the name but heard this from another Sheikh. And keep making dua and pray for her and gift it to her. We will all need this when we are gone.
As a revert who found out I was adopted and never knew who my family is I’ve always felt lonely, but you saying ﷺ is our father today made me feel a sense of belonging
i just want to say THANK YOU SO much to the Yakeen Institute for this series. we need a lot more Muslim-friendly videos, that are engaging, accessible, and informative such as this one. I absolutely love this, the production, the quality, and the hard work that is put into it. It is such a good thing to have on UA-cam when I am trying to just take a break, especially during Ramadan. Thank you. JazakAllah Khair, genuinely!
Sometimes, my friends and all wish, they never lived, but now hearing this, and last year's series Jannah: Home at Last, I now tell them the little bits of 'ilm I got from these videos. Alhamdulilah, and remember Palestine in your du'as. May Allah grant us all Baraqah, Ameen!
My mom is my greatest trial. She left me when I was a month old. Met her for the very first time when I was 18 years old and things are not easy. I don’t see her as my mom but as a stranger. There is no love, nothing for her. So messed up. She lives back home and I live in the West. Jannah is under her feet and I will not enter Jannah via her. Ya Allah, have mercy on me.
Too hard for you and after so many years may be she realised her mistake 💔, may ALLAH give you strength to forgive her and heal your broken heart. Just talk to her
She is only human after all. If you cant love her at least don't let yourself living with hatred for her. For your own good. Always making dua to Allah for softening your heart and your moms heart, so you can finally able to forgive her and heal your heart...
I am the only one who prays in my family and sometimes I feel heartbroken. Please, make duaas for them so we can enjoy praying together. May Allah Bless you endlessly ❤
My parents are my greatest test, they're abusive to me but to my other siblings they're their guardian angel. Back in the days, when I was in 4th grade, I doing my first attempt of su*cid*, and I brave enough to do that in front of other people by throwing myself from 2nd floor to 1st floor, I can't breathe but my grandma save me. I always asking my grandma "Who is my REAL parents? Are they really my parents?" And now my grandma passed away, I didn't have any person who will support me, hugged me, and hear my story, I miss my grandma, she's my parent
Please, when you feel their actions hurt you, do not concern yourself with them but remember your Lord and empty your heart to him. He hears all and sees all. Your life is a precious blessing from Allah, please do not harm yourself. May Allah protect you
I am sobbing uncontrollably, Jazak'Allah for this video.. you and ur team have no idea how many hearts you are healing and guiding. May Allah forgive all our sins, our parents sins and may we all make it to jannat.
I'am only child like Nabi Muhammad Shalallahu alaihi wassalam. Then, on Covid-19 era I got so much challenge not just mine but for my beloved parent too. Alhamdulillah, Allah still save us. Me, my mother and my father. I pray that all of your circumstance as only child like Rasulullah and like me Allah will grant everything ease for all of you soon! Allahumma Aamiin! This series made me recall at that worse but full of hikmah time mashaAllah. Indeed Allah The Most Loving for us all💛
O Allah, help and protect the people of Palestine, Lebanon, Yemen, Syria, China, Myanmar, Afghanistan, India, Bangladesh, Uyghurs, Rohingya, Sudan, and all places where Muslims and non-Muslims face oppression. O Allah, ease their pain and suffering. O Allah, bestow Your mercy on every soul in hardship. O Allah, open people's hearts to stand for justice and give generously in this time of need. = Allahumma Ameen =
This series tugs on my heart so much. It makes me cry. Islam is so so beautiful and I love pray that more people continue to learn about the beauty that is Islam, the true religion. Omar Suleiman is the perfect person for this series , MashAllah
A very well rounded video about parents some of us had tough ones and it’s nice to see a sheikh help us navigate through that and not just preach obey them no matter what
Jazakumullah khayr to shaykh and his team. This series is special. It's like a therapy, each episode soothes a pain, heals a wound and increases my optimism about my present and future life. Taqaballahu minna wa minkum
Alhamdulillah for everything ❤ sometimes its hard if ur family members are toxic and u have to move apart from them no matter how u wanna please them, for them still not enough 😢 May Allah (swt) help us to forgive and give us ease Jazak Allah khair for this Ramadan series
That's the lesson. To find the blessing even in the toxic, abusive nature of people. Perhaps, it's to learn the tell tale signs of toxicity and protect yourself from it instead of getting submerged in it. Allah knows best but I'm sure there are infinite lessons in each experience. May Allah grant us the insight and may He heal your pain
I used to blame my childhood for who I am. But then, after forgiving my past and my family, it is easier for me to move on. To unlearn and re-learn on how to parent my children, as said by sheikh omar. There is a reason behind everything that lead to the bigger picture that we still couldn't understand. Allah is the best planner.
@@habile5374 forgive others as much you want to be forgiven by allah 🙂.. we don't know their circumstance that caused them to make mistakes and after all, we all make mistakes.
“And even for the one that didn’t have that parent in anyway, remember that we are an unmah adopted by an orphan. We all have in the prophet (SAW) a father as an example”✨Beautiful
Truly..I never Truly appreciated my parents till I became one myself...I was dutiful.. but the deep appreciation and realisation didn't hit me till I became one.. May Allah bless my parents ameen
Alhamdulillah Sheik Omar always deliver. We’re all blessed to have him, he’s very genuine and honest in both his work and speech, Ya Rabb bless him more and bless us as well
The Best of You are Those Who are Best to Their Family ❤ May Allah Subhan wa Ta'ala Bless Our Parents with Good Health & Righteous Long Life ! Aameen ya Rabbil A'alameen 🤲📿
I had to listen to this twice. At last someone understands the challenges some of us have. My test on earth has always been my mother, but I chose not to display the same mistakes with my children.
Assalamu alaikum Believers. 🌙✨ Don't forget to send salawat on prophet Muhammad ﷺ after listening his name everytime. And if you forgot, send 5 now ASAP :) May Allah forgive all of our sins and grant us Jannat ul Firdous by HIS ( Sub'hanahu wata'ala) Rahmah. ❤❤
This series is Awesome! Second favorite to the Angels series for me and that is high praise. May Allah reward all of the Yaqeen members and May they continue to grow, improve and make relevant content. Ameen🤲
Masha'Allah, this session felt like three years of therapy in one sitting. Alhamdulillah for this content. May Allah grant us all internal healing and strengthen our Iman.
This Ramadan, help Yaqeen reach every Muslim. Automate your 30 day Ramadan donation. yqn.io/eva

But this series in this Ramadan is very different than the others. It's like everything I ever needed to know. Everything I've been looking for. It's way too personal subhanAllah.

My late father rahimahullah was an orphan. And by Allah SWT he was the best father I could ever ask for. May Allah SWT place him in jannatul firdaws and may one day I can join him in it. Amiin

Allahumma Ameen

As someone who is the only one to accept Islam in my family, this episode really resonated with me. Leaving behind my whole upbringing and unlearning so much which led me here today as a proud Muslim. Alhamdulilah Thank you for this series.
May Allah continue to guide you. Welcome dear sister
There was some good in your upbringing that brought you to Islam. May Allah bless you and that part of your upbringing that brought you here.
May Allah (SWT) make it easy on you and may He guide your family as well, ameen🤍
may Allah bless you❣️
My father is one of the main sources of pain in my adult life. When I spoke up about being violated by a family member as a child, he abandoned me in my pain, ostracized me, and vilified me. To this day we don’t speak, though we used to be close. I wish I had a father figure to bring his presence and wisdom, but may Allah make it easier for me to forgive him and forgive myself 💜.. and may one day I be guided to a teacher who helps me heal.
May Allah make it easy for you
I understand how hard this must be for you but please reach out to him and forgive him. He may not know any better.
May Allah make it extremely easy for you
@@habibasuleiman5831 I already did reach out to him and try and forgive and then he betrayed me again in an even worse way.
@@habibasuleiman5831 he’s a grown man with money and power who has said he cares more about his reputation than truly helping or extending me compassion. He does know better.
Sometimes parents cannot deal with the guilt of not being there to protect you and the guilt is so overwhelming, they react in the opposite way that the victim needs! Sometimes a person needs to be forgiven when they least deserve it to break through that guilt.
May Allah (SWT) make it easy for both of you. You are Not to blame! You already seem very empathetic due to your experience. May this experience help others. In’cha Allah you will be of those that is granted paradise and never ever remember any hardships you endured in this donya due to your joy and gratitude of being granted Paradise- Ameen 🤲🏻
Every morning at this time my tears are flowing from these lessons.. I have a difficult childhood and are estranged now from some of my own children. I pray Allah swt heal my heart and my parents my family and my children and grandchildren. The healing is coming In-sha-Allah. Its time for us to heal. May Allah have Mercy on my soul.
Ameen. 🤲 I pray that Ar Rahmah showers His Mercies upon you, your children, your grandchildren and your parents to make the reconciliation a beautiful and easy one, dear Sis. Ameen, Ya Sam'iu du'a.
Ameen.
Ameen
Ameen sister Allah will fix it for you ❤
Ameen! May Allah swt comfort your heart and mend the relationships with your children, grandchildren and all your loved ones. May He grant you strength and relief, and I pray that you and your family will be granted the highest ranks in Jannah by His Mercy, ameen!
Being a convert and from a family of Christians inshallah I will be able to find a amazing wife so we can teach our kids about Islam ameen
Aaamin
Aameen 🤲🏽 Feel free to reach out in shaa Allah
May Allah swt grant you that amazing wife to complete your deen
آمين 🤲
In’cha Allah you be the spouse and parent you wish to attract in your life. Keep learning and making duaa 🤲🏻 and may Allah (SWT) make it all easy for you. Ameen. 🤲🏻
My father passed away 2 days ago. Please make dua for him.
May Allah have mercy on his soul and grant him Jannah
May Allah forgive his short Comings and grant him jannah
Inna lilahi wa inna ilaihi rajioon.
Allah yarhamhu
May Allah forgive him and grant him jannatul firdaus, amin.
After being Muslim for 30 years, my mother wished me a blessed ramadan, which was a huge surprise
You’re not your parents, you have your own qualities 🥹🥹🥹
This really hits home for someone who has had to deal with a difficult parent to be around. I always questioned, why me? Why couldn’t I have a nicer parent like other children who are loved? Tears kept falling as I watched this. Everything makes sense. Thank you for this series. You have no idea how many hearts you are healing through this. 🥹🥺🤲🏼
What exactly did you like about the video? @summerscintilla22
I also suffered trauma from parents and I find those videos just make me very sad. 😢
Masha Allah, this man has a gift of finding all the words that hit the right spot in the heart. May Allah bless him.
Totally 💯
❤
I appreciate this perspective. As a revert, I definitely have struggled with how to make sense of my dysfunctional and abusive childhood in the light of the fact that I am Muslim now. I do see it as something that strengthened me and that Allah brought me through but at the time it was awful and has cost me nearly 2 decades in therapy to even try to get some sense of it. I pray that whoever reads this has a blessed Ramadan, and may all of your good deeds be rewarded and all of your bad deeds be forgiven, Ameen.
I lost my mum to cancer a few days back.....I miss her terribly.....
Remember we are an ummah raised by an orphan 😢😢😢
Sallalahu alaihi wassalam
😢😢
This series is made for me 🤲🏾
Anyone reading this can youake a dua for me for a Spouse who can guide me to jannah. May Allah grant anyone reading this to the highest of paradise
So often we look for someone outside of us to heal us, guide us, protect us when all along we have Him (Allah) and the ability to become our own Hero. May Allah help you find Your Hero, the person you seek in yourself.
Aameen. May Allah bless you with a righteous spouse who loves you so much for the Sake of Allah. May your spouse guide you to Jannah. May Allah bless you with a peaceful home with beautiful and healthy kids. May Allah bless you with the best in laws as well. Read this daily, In Sha Allah you will find a good spouse soon: Rabbana hablana min azwajina wa dhurriyatina qurrata aayunw wa ja’alna lil muttaqeena imama. [ Surah furqaan verse no. 74]

May Allah grant the desires of your heart and bless more than you hope for. Baarokallahu feekum!
Today At 48 yrs of age. My whole child hood flashed back in these 10 mins. I couldnot stop my tears. My childhood was difficult despite that I cant thank Allah subhanatalah enough for giving me parents who cared for me so much. As you said no one is perfect.
May Allah forgive our sins. May Allah have mercy upon my parents as they cared for me when i was young. Ameen
May Allah guide narcissist parents and help our families heal ameen
May Allah bless sheikh omar Suleiman, ever since I started listening to his lecture, I have learnt a lot from him.may Allah grant him and his family high rank in jannahtul fardows 🤲
Ameen
Ameen thumma Ameen
Ameen
Ameen exactly I feel same everything what ever you said
In every way Islam is a blessing.... Thank you Sheykh for presenting parenthood so sensitively ⭐⭐⭐
Why am I crying ..Alhamdulillah for everything
For the past few years, I have struggled with depression.
In my mind, I remembered my father at his worst and almost blanked out any good from him.
Alhamdulilah, I'm coming to terms with the childhood trauma and trying to forgive him.
I have just realised that although we hold our parents to a high standard of accountability,they are still human and carry their own baggage through parenthood.
I hope I can learn from his mistakes and be more mindful with my child.
Family has always been a difficult thing for me
Please God forgive me, but I'm dreading the next episode of this series. I'm starting to think this is only for people who come from happy, loving parents. All it's doing is reminding me of how awful childhood was. Allah saved me with Islam, can't I just leave it at that?
@melaniehassler2405 you know ever since i was a child there was alot of hardship i face with family relationship, especially my mother , only until i was 25 i saw immense change in my family circumstances . The dua about my family is answered even though then it seem like it was impossible to happen but i kept repeting it regardless, so do not stop praying for your circumstances, inshallah i pray your's will be answered too
if it is of any comfort to you, I didn't come from a happy loving family. We were Pakistani Muslims and we were doing very well financially. My sister started hanging around the wrong crowd and started using drugs in middle school and high school, things went downhill as my mom never recovered from that shock and suffered severe PTSD. My father was responsible for a lot of corrupting of my sister. I was focused on my studies as I was much older. My younger brother's childhood was disrupted. my parents divorced. You will never believe the things we witnessed and the aggressive outbursts from my sister and father. It seems like it was out of a horror movie. @@melaniehassler2405
Don’t overthink, it was the qadr of Allah and it was best for you. indeed Allah never tests someone more than they can bear.
trust me I understand you, at least your relationship with your family changed for better right, I'm not close with my family at all even though i leave with them
The visual accompaniment to the teaching really got to me 😢 may Allah guide the children who were born into hardship and make the difficulty before them that which beautifies them
May Allaah bless our parents abundantly and grant them Jannah tul Firdaws, AmeenAllah
Aameen
I find myself getting choked up multiple times in just a 10 minute episode 🥲 May Allah bless Sheikh Omar and the entire team, and their families, and all who listen and their families, Ameen. What a beautiful and unique topic SubhanAllah enjoying every minute of it
I choked up both listening to this series and reading so many touching stories in the comments😢...
This just made me realise how bad my grandfather was to my father, but how great father he was to me, a kid born with some sort of disease. Masha Allah. (Just lost him 7 months back)
As Salaamu Alaykum. Growing up, I had many opportunities to overcome obstacles, including an abusive childhood. This is a great reminder to focus on the good aspects of our youth and to work through the pain. Jazakallahu khayrun.
May Allah (S.A.W.T) soften our hearts.
Aameen
Aameen
I really love this sheikh's speeches,may Allah grant him Jannah, together with us,this project is amazing.
I'd like to have a talk with Omar Suleiman about where do we draw the line for being good to ur parents even if they were abusive. What about sexual abuse? That is definitely not something a person can just forgive and move on especially when everyone wants to act like nothing happened and ignore my pain while they're out there living their best lives.
Needed to hear this… May Allah make it easy for all of us who are struggling
As someone who deals with childhood traumatic experiences, this video helps me re-thinking my childhood and begin to see it differently. Thank you for the content, it never ceases to amaze me everytime.
I wish omar suleiman brings a series for small kids next ramadan
Which is more engaging and easy for them to understand. Our ummah needs a lot of support. May Allah guide us
Islam is truly a life saver if we follow it correctly. May Allah guide us all ameen.
Whether we realize the tremendous blessings our parents have been or not, may we be the doorway of exponential and unlimited blessings for our parents. Ameen
Mashallah
my mom passed away rahimuhallah four months ago because of cancer 😔and I missed her so much for those who reading this love ur mom as much as u can, hug her and take care of her
You may lose her at any moment
May allah gather us in heaven together
I like that the topic in each episodes are much wider than last season bc this year's theme is qadr
You may have no idea Shaikh Omar as to how many of those thousands who have faced parental abuse and are caught in an extremely soul wrenching battle between how to create a safe distance with abusive parents, and still not having the guilt of being a tyrant themselves abandoning their parents specially when they may be ailing or have attained old age are going to have a way of putting into perspective what happened with them and why it all happened and hence chart out the best way forward. Just this one episode and those words u said there can emancipate the pain and suffering of so many. May Allah bless you with peace .
This episode hit somewhere deep in me. "We are bound to our parents" and that's unchangeable. May Allah heal us all, bless them and us and give us the patience to deal with each other in the right manner. May Allah grant our parents and us Jannah 🥹 and reunite us as family In Jannah. Allahuma aamin!
Aameen ❤
رَّبِّ ارْحَمْهُمَا كَمَا رَبَّيَانِي صَغِيرًا
Some parents don’t have accountability when it comes to abuse, emotional, trauma, and screaming at there child. 😢
The accountability does come. It’s the realization that’s often not there until they’re much older and weaker
Make them realize how bad of an effect theyve had. Thatll depend parent to parent. For some your words are enough, for some your rleatives or elders or someone they respect could convince them, and for some maybe a doctor or therapist or imam talking will help. There are a rare few who are completely unwilling then just fulfill your duties and keep your distance.
Allah asks us to be humble and that requires accepting that we are not in control of the outcome, your parents may or may not change during this life. What we do have control over is the words and actions that we project, they are what we will be accountable for. It is a long and hard process to accept that change may not come but to still go on trying your best.
Lost mother sept 2022. Wallahi "voice that follows you for a lifetime" hit like a bag of bricks.
After she is gone her advice/sayings rings so loud in my head
"Nothing worth getting in this life comes easy, there are no shortcuts"
"Relax your tense shoulders, stand/sit up straight!"
"Dry your hair/wear a cap when you go out you're gonna get a cold!"
"You don't know what you missed out on growing up in America. Take your brother back to Pakistan with you after I'm gone if you have to."
"When will you quit this video game? When I'm gone?"
"You understimate Pakistani women."
"Hurry up and get married before I'm gone Hamza."
"You are grossed out when I'm washing the meat but you love eating it when it's cooked!"
"Don't become a slave to your desires."
"Say the 3 Kul before you go to bed, you'll fall asleep faster"
"Why didn't you call me back? I've called you ten times!"
So many times after a long conversation, astagfiruallah, I told her the most terrible thing:
"Are you done?"
Anyways, I can only make dua now. Salam laykum.
As a mother with a son myself I can tell how much she loves you...😢 You might hear it as a constant nagging but for us mothers it's because we loves our son so much 😢
May Allah Grant Her Jannah ❤
You can do more for her to please her, even when she is gone. Do those things she asked from you. Cant remember the name but heard this from another Sheikh. And keep making dua and pray for her and gift it to her. We will all need this when we are gone.
I have a baby and just watching the parents go through that first week struggles, feels traumatic to me.. SubhanAllah
As a revert who found out I was adopted and never knew who my family is I’ve always felt lonely, but you saying ﷺ is our father today made me feel a sense of belonging
i just want to say THANK YOU SO much to the Yakeen Institute for this series. we need a lot more Muslim-friendly videos, that are engaging, accessible, and informative such as this one. I absolutely love this, the production, the quality, and the hard work that is put into it. It is such a good thing to have on UA-cam when I am trying to just take a break, especially during Ramadan. Thank you. JazakAllah Khair, genuinely!
Sometimes, my friends and all wish, they never lived, but now hearing this, and last year's series Jannah: Home at Last, I now tell them the little bits of 'ilm I got from these videos. Alhamdulilah, and remember Palestine in your du'as. May Allah grant us all Baraqah, Ameen!
My mom is my greatest trial. She left me when I was a month old. Met her for the very first time when I was 18 years old and things are not easy. I don’t see her as my mom but as a stranger. There is no love, nothing for her. So messed up. She lives back home and I live in the West.
Jannah is under her feet and I will not enter Jannah via her. Ya Allah, have mercy on me.
Too hard for you and after so many years may be she realised her mistake 💔, may ALLAH give you strength to forgive her and heal your broken heart. Just talk to her
She is only human after all. If you cant love her at least don't let yourself living with hatred for her. For your own good. Always making dua to Allah for softening your heart and your moms heart, so you can finally able to forgive her and heal your heart...
This episode is exactly what I needed. It got me think about so many things I need to be grateful for and so many thing I need to unlearn. Thank you.
May Allah grant our beloved parents jannatul firdous Aamiin yaa Rabbi 😢🤲
May Allah SWT guide my father,he is so harsh towards us ,he always says harsh to us 😞
I am the only one who prays in my family and sometimes I feel heartbroken. Please, make duaas for them so we can enjoy praying together. May Allah Bless you endlessly ❤
I know it's hard but ask ALLAH to make your family your best companion, pray Dua of prophet Musa
My parents are my greatest test, they're abusive to me but to my other siblings they're their guardian angel. Back in the days, when I was in 4th grade, I doing my first attempt of su*cid*, and I brave enough to do that in front of other people by throwing myself from 2nd floor to 1st floor, I can't breathe but my grandma save me. I always asking my grandma "Who is my REAL parents? Are they really my parents?" And now my grandma passed away, I didn't have any person who will support me, hugged me, and hear my story, I miss my grandma, she's my parent
Please, when you feel their actions hurt you, do not concern yourself with them but remember your Lord and empty your heart to him. He hears all and sees all. Your life is a precious blessing from Allah, please do not harm yourself. May Allah protect you
I am sobbing uncontrollably, Jazak'Allah for this video.. you and ur team have no idea how many hearts you are healing and guiding. May Allah forgive all our sins, our parents sins and may we all make it to jannat.
I'am only child like Nabi Muhammad Shalallahu alaihi wassalam. Then, on Covid-19 era I got so much challenge not just mine but for my beloved parent too. Alhamdulillah, Allah still save us. Me, my mother and my father. I pray that all of your circumstance as only child like Rasulullah and like me Allah will grant everything ease for all of you soon! Allahumma Aamiin! This series made me recall at that worse but full of hikmah time mashaAllah. Indeed Allah The Most Loving for us all💛
O Allah, help and protect the people of Palestine, Lebanon, Yemen, Syria, China, Myanmar, Afghanistan, India, Bangladesh, Uyghurs, Rohingya, Sudan, and all places where Muslims and non-Muslims face oppression. O Allah, ease their pain and suffering. O Allah, bestow Your mercy on every soul in hardship. O Allah, open people's hearts to stand for justice and give generously in this time of need. = Allahumma Ameen =
This series tugs on my heart so much. It makes me cry. Islam is so so beautiful and I love pray that more people continue to learn about the beauty that is Islam, the true religion. Omar Suleiman is the perfect person for this series , MashAllah
Please let's put the oppressed country in dua. May Allah grant us victory (Aameen)
Allah Yaa arhama raahemeen our parents just like when we were saqeer Allahuma Aameen
May Allah bless our brothers and sisters of ummah with Jannah ❤
Aameen summa Aameen ❤
SubahanAllah, im not crying 😭😭 Alhamdulillah Alhamdulillah Alhamdulillah for everything
I just dropped by your channel, I am reading up more about Islam. 😊 Happy Ramadan Murabak to all the Muslims. 💜😊
Thank you!
A very well rounded video about parents some of us had tough ones and it’s nice to see a sheikh help us navigate through that and not just preach obey them no matter what
Words of wisdom nd guidance. Jazakallah Ustad. 🇵🇰
This is the best one so far. jazakAllahu khairan
Jazakumullah khayr to shaykh and his team. This series is special. It's like a therapy, each episode soothes a pain, heals a wound and increases my optimism about my present and future life. Taqaballahu minna wa minkum
You are very right dear sister, Allah is soo merciful using Shaykh and his team to provide healing.❤❤❤.
AlhduLillah.
Alhamdulillah for everything ❤
sometimes its hard if ur family members are toxic and u have to move apart from them
no matter how u wanna please them, for them still not enough 😢
May Allah (swt) help us to forgive and give us ease
Jazak Allah khair for this Ramadan series
That's the lesson. To find the blessing even in the toxic, abusive nature of people. Perhaps, it's to learn the tell tale signs of toxicity and protect yourself from it instead of getting submerged in it. Allah knows best but I'm sure there are infinite lessons in each experience. May Allah grant us the insight and may He heal your pain
7:40. This hit harder than it should've. The best man in all of humanity and yet he was an orphan.
Amazing series mashaAllah
I used to blame my childhood for who I am. But then, after forgiving my past and my family, it is easier for me to move on. To unlearn and re-learn on how to parent my children, as said by sheikh omar. There is a reason behind everything that lead to the bigger picture that we still couldn't understand. Allah is the best planner.
I'm still struggling to forgive my parents 😢
@@habile5374 forgive others as much you want to be forgiven by allah 🙂.. we don't know their circumstance that caused them to make mistakes and after all, we all make mistakes.
“And even for the one that didn’t have that parent in anyway, remember that we are an unmah adopted by an orphan. We all have in the prophet (SAW) a father as an example”✨Beautiful
Its nice how the story is connected with episodes. Great explanations
Truly..I never Truly appreciated my parents till I became one myself...I was dutiful.. but the deep appreciation and realisation didn't hit me till I became one.. May Allah bless my parents ameen
This has to be the most mind opening episode so far
جَزَاكَ ٱللَّٰهُ خَيْرًا
Alhamdulillah Sheik Omar always deliver. We’re all blessed to have him, he’s very genuine and honest in both his work and speech, Ya Rabb bless him more and bless us as well
Every time i listen to you I feel peaceful sheickh may Allah reward you and give you a long life inchallah we love you here in Mauritania 🇲🇷 ❤❤
My heart ❤️ is heavy 😢.... ya Allah, give me the patience to be a good parent
Jazaka Allah ya Imam Omar
May allah swt reward you imam
This episode is speaking to me literally
I love how people in the comment section try to help each other in their struggles and pray for each other 🥹❤️
The Best of You are Those Who are Best to Their Family ❤
May Allah Subhan wa Ta'ala Bless Our Parents with Good Health & Righteous Long Life !
Aameen ya Rabbil A'alameen 🤲📿
Ameeeeeeeeen
Aameen summa Aameen ❤
I had to listen to this twice. At last someone understands the challenges some of us have. My test on earth has always been my mother, but I chose not to display the same mistakes with my children.
I've been struggling with abusive parents & similar issues.. Alhamdulillah thank you for the video
Alhamdulillah I had the best parents Yaa Rahman give them the highest Jannah Aameen
Assalamu alaikum Believers. 🌙✨
Don't forget to send salawat on prophet Muhammad ﷺ after listening his name everytime. And if you forgot, send 5 now ASAP :)
May Allah forgive all of our sins and grant us Jannat ul Firdous by HIS ( Sub'hanahu wata'ala) Rahmah. ❤❤
Aameen summa Aameen ❤
This series is Awesome! Second favorite to the Angels series for me and that is high praise. May Allah reward all of the Yaqeen members and May they continue to grow, improve and make relevant content. Ameen🤲
Masha'Allah, this session felt like three years of therapy in one sitting. Alhamdulillah for this content. May Allah grant us all internal healing and strengthen our Iman.
