@@shehab7482 And you also, why do you believe in Islam?
@@starlightakabane4686 If you want to understand why many people found that Islam is the only way that can help fill the void inside of us, I encourage you to learn more about it. One of the unique features of Islam is that it emphasizes the use of proof and facts, both internally and externally. By keeping an open mind and exploring these teachings, you may find that they resonate with you in a meaningful way.
If you're interested in learning more, I'm happy to provide additional details and resources. If you'd like to continue this conversation, we can connect on social media or another platform that you're comfortable with. Just let me know which one you prefer and we can continue the discussion from there.
Her mind bruv I love her personality. I think the community is thirsty for conversations like these and we need more sisters showing their intellect and spirituality this lifted my spirits.

I just discovered your channel and resonate so deeply. I just survived a car accident and now I am on this deep spiritual journey. You’re helping me tremendously and also, this video brought me so much comfort❤ I am excited to watch all your other videos aswell. May Allah bless you and your loved ones immensely ❤️ Jazak Allah
15 Astonishing facts About Islam That you Really don't know !
1) “Islam” means “surrender” or “submission” . “Salam” (which means “peace”) is the root word of “Islam”. In a religious context the word “Islam” means “the surrendering of one’s will (without compulsion) to the true will of God in an effort to achieve peace”.
2) “Muslim” means “anyone or anything that surrenders itself to the true will of God”. By this definition, everything in nature (trees, animals, planets, etc.) are “muslims” because they are in a state of surrender to God’s will. In other words, they are fulfilling the purpose for which God created them.
3) Islam is not a new religion or cult. It is a universal way of life and civilization. Again, Islam is not a new religion, rather it is the same message preached by all earlier prophets such as Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, and Jesus (peace be upon them all). But God’s final message to mankind was revealed to the last prophet, Muhammad (peace be upon him), as a revival of lost teachings of previous prophets and as a reconfirmation of the eternal message. Studies show that between 1.5 and 1.8 billion people in the world identify their religion as Islam. Along with Judaism and Christianity it traces its roots through Prophet Abraham and back to the first humans Adam and Eve.
4) There are five pillars of practice in Islam. These practices must be undertaken with the best of effort in order to be considered a true Muslim: A) Declaration of faith: A statement proclaiming the belief in One God and that Muhammad is a prophet of God. To become Muslim a person simply recites this statement publicly, and in Arabic. B) Formal prayer five times a day. C) Poor-due tax: 2.5% of one’s excess wealth given to the needy once a year. D) Fasting during the daylight hours in the month of Ramadan. E) Pilgrimage to Mecca at least once, if physically and financially able.
5) There are six articles of faith in Islam. These are the basic beliefs that one must have in order to be considered a true Muslim. They are belief in: A) the One God. B) all of the true prophets of God. C) the original scriptures revealed to Moses, David, Jesus and Muhammad. D) the angels. E) the Day of Judgment and the Hereafter. F) destiny.
6) Muslims believe in the one Creator of the Universe, referring to Him as “Allah” which is the Arabic word for “God”. Muslims worldwide, even English-speaking Muslims, frequently use the Arabic word “Allah” because Arabic is the language of the Qur’an. But Allah is no different than the God of Abraham, Moses and Jesus. The Creator is the Creator regardless of what people call Him. In the English language He is most commonly referred to as “God”. Yet Jesus spoke a different language, referring to God as “Eloi” in Mark 15:34 of the New Testament. Are “God” and “Eloi” different gods? Many Hispanics call God “Dios” and many French say “Dieu”. It would logically follow then that people who refer to God as “Allah” in the Arabic language are referring to the very same God. In fact, many Arab Jews and Arab Christians call God “Allah”. And the word “Allah” is written in Arabic script on the walls of many Arab churches and on the pages of Arabic Bibles. So while the understanding of God may differ between faith groups, the various names used to describe Him does not change the fact that the one Creator of the Universe is the God of all people.
This is Allah Almighty, The Creator, the one and only true God. He is my God, our God:
"Allah - there is no deity except Him, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of [all] existence. Neither drowsiness overtakes Him nor sleep. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. Who is it that can intercede with Him except by His permission? He knows what is [presently] before them and what will be after them, and they encompass not a thing of His knowledge except for what He wills. His Kursi (Throne) extends over the heavens and the earth, and their preservation tires Him not. And He is the Most High, the Most Great."
(Quran 2:255)
{Say, “He is Allah, the One. Allah, to Whom the creatures turn for their needs. He begets not, nor was He begotten, and there is none like Him.” }
(Quran, 112:1-4)
Allah Almighty says in the Quran:
"Say, "O My servants who have transgressed against themselves [by sinning], do not despair of the mercy of Allah . Indeed, Allah forgives all sins. Indeed, it is He who is the Forgiving, the Merciful."
[Quran 39:53]
7) The Islamic concept of God is that He is loving, merciful and compassionate. Islam also teaches that He is all-knowing and the perfect judge of affairs, and will punish (or forgive) accordingly. However, Allah once said to Muhammad, “My mercy prevails over my wrath”. So Islam teaches a balance between fear and hope, protecting one from both complacency and despair.
8) Muslims believe that God has revealed 99 of His names, or attributes, in the Qur’an. It is through these names that one can come to know

Aw, sis. You’re definitely on a journey that I can relate to but I think the idea of balancing this dunnyah and the hereafter relates to the idea of an “hour” for everything: an hour for acts of worship that we all consider (prayer, reading the Quran, charity, …), an hour for work and making an honest income, an hour for taking care of your family and friends and people who have a right over you, an hour of leisure and fulfilling that right over yourself. Everything we do is an act of worship but we shouldn’t indulge in one and neglect the other. I guess just being alive is a practice of not being one dimensional in thinking and, like you said, not just following our whims and desires.
ء
Yes I agree, everything we do can be an act of worship with the intention made. I think she was just putting emphasis on how to pick our path and really being aware of how we use our time. Let’s be honest, many of us use time to idle these days, so it’s true we need to be more conscious about it.
Can I just say something im Egyptian and I love Egypt and im Muslim and Egypt is my favorite country is that okay
I'm a Christian, but I really see this video as a wake up call for me. So many distractions in this world, so many shades of gray in this world that it's hard to make out what is white (if you get what I mean). I pray God keeps guiding me on the correct path, that he refines me and makes me into the person he wants me to become. Humans are so limited, yet we believe we know everything. God help us and forgive us. Bless you for this video, it truly touched me.
my Allah guide you on the true path💜🤲
Thank you for this post sister, im literally in tears during my lunch break, i recently quit drinking alcohol because it was the only time i felt happiness, but in prayer and seeking God and truth i feel relief
I love that for you sis, but try not to share your sins !!I pray Allah makes it easy for you on your journey of quitting 😊🤍
May Allah make this transition a permanent one. May you look back one day and wonder how you even touched a bottle.
I’m not Muslim, but Christian and I loved this so much.

@@maryams.. oh okay good thank you
learning from this episode: there is not supposed to be a perfect balance between the dunya and the aakhirah. there has to be a heavier leaning of our efforts to secure our place in Jannah because that is our real destination, this life is merely a rest stop in that journey. I used to disagree with this take before until now and i think this humor-infused, easygoing manner of giving naseeha and dawah is working so well for me. So thank you so much Farah, ily!
May Allah increase you, us and the Ummah with beneficial knowledge🤲🏾✨
Ameen.
Amiin
Ameen ya rabb ❤❤
i started full on crying and got so emotional when you said that on the day of judgement we will be called by Allah by our best deed and not our names in this life. Its so beautiful. And then i started thinking what good deed would i even be called by. I dont think i do enough for the sake of Allah. I sin so much and only think about this dunya and i think thats why i feel hollow inside lately
Salem Aleykoum wa RahmatuLlah wa Baarakatuh! It is already good to think that you are not doing enough for the love of Allah and just this reflection there, Allah sees it. Nothing is too late to repent, we all sin but the main thing is to try to stop, Allah sees our everyday efforts, how hard it is for us to detach ourselves from our bad things but we will succeed! ( Amîn ). Continue to learn more about our magnificent religion, Qu’ran, Sûnnah... Prayer, peace, family! Take care of yourself and those around you.
My favorite aya is سَلَامٌ عَلَيْكُم بِمَا صَبَرْتُمْ ۚ فَنِعْمَ عُقْبَى الدَّارِ (24) 🥰

@Noor1x1pls read Qur'an about who all will get mecy of ALLAH. Its not like youll do all sort of sins and will stay Mercy of ALLAH (azzawajal). Indeed he is merciful

I'm a lot older than you, but I love that I found your channel. You remind me and teach me true reality. May you receive limitless blessings for your work. Never stop.
I loved this. but i also love my cute cafes w mama. Romanticising the small things and being appreciative of something like a cute cafe/location is not haram and just a way to spend meaningful time with people + express gratitude to the beautiful things in life. I do believe that there are certain things in this life were given for our enjoyment e.g food + nature+ pretty locations. Not everything enjoyable is a distraction (within the right limits and doses ofc).
istg i was looking for a comment like this. i love her videos but she became really extreme with the coffee thing
You connvey such deeply islamic messages in such a connectfull and reletable manner in combination with your reflective attitude and effortless humor you are truly a joy to watch thank you
Sister 😂.. I don't wanna sound "not serious" about the main topic.. but the humour or sarcasm on balancing hell and heaven got me😂😂😂. Now on a serious note, Please keep doing this in the very light note you're doing right now - we need more episodes allahumma barik ✨❤
I do agree that somethings can be a distraction even making cute coffee dates, however sometimes it's also a mechanism to cope with the sadness of what this world brings. I don't think there's anything wrong with finding things you enjoy to do in this world while we are here, this is also a place where we were put to live.. not our internal homes but these small things also help us discover who we are and what we enjoy as people. I think when I had high functioning depression, I found it hard to go back to do things I once enjoyed but with time it got better. If I didn't have those small enjoyments, idk how I would cope with the heaviness I felt in my chest, accepting and understanding that these moments were meant to happen puts me more at peace to enjoy small moments in life, so I am grateful that Allah gave me those small doses of enjoyment's in this life.
That was one of the most inspiring islamic talks I’ve heard!! May Allah increase you in knowledge, which you could share with the world! 💖🙏🙏
Inshallah i pray were all forgiven for our sins. May Allah keep all of you reading this on the straight path. I pray we see each other in jannah.
I’m not Muslim, but this video just resonates with my spirit she speaks pure truth with no remorse , we heavily indulge in acts that we consider to be these certain form of happiness but deep down inside aren’t at peace with ourself, we’re so distracted, easily consumed by this material world, know thyself and find peace within your own energy, and the most high 🧘🏾♂️🌱
I am going through a very rough time in life,i had delression and insomnia ,very very severe for the past 10 years.since 2 years i have been stuck at home.i have been so resentful for my illness and failures of life.but i realised that the real failure is that i have been so distant from allah and islam for the past 10 years.i started listening to some of islamic videos ,and yours gave me so much peace.that line even though sounded funny but it was so impactful ,"what are you trying to balance ,your time between heaven and hell?".may allah guide me towards the righteous path again.because i am so lost.your videos felt like a gift to me.
idk why anyone would ask you why you have a podcast bc it’s AMAZING. I find it so refreshing and honestly just easy to watch as compared to some other podcasts. Your content is very relatable in a sense and we need the reminder of our real home - the akhirah. May Allah bless you 😊🤍🤍
{ وَذَكِّرْ فَإِنَّ الذِّكْرَى تَنْفَعُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ } الله يقويكي و ينفع فيكي اسلوبك جميل جدا we always have to remind ourselves why we are in this duniah , especially these distraction around us.
24:34 I love it when she explains that the word "afterlife" makes it sounds as if it's unreal. As if, this dunya is the real life, and the akhirah is the "afterlife". I guess English terms for "world" and "hereafter" will never able to represent the Arabic terms for "dunya" and "akhirah". Amazing insight, Farah!
You just made me realize in Spanish Diversión means either to divert/go astray and also have fun/enjoy etc when you diviertes you're either having fun or going astray 😮
Yes this is true. But it doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t be depressed in this world. We can still enjoy ourselves and things in this dunya without indulging in haram . ‘Forget not your of lawful enjoyment in this world’- 28:77.
Thank you so much for making this episode T-T
I’m going through a rough patch in my life. After just finishing high school and planning to enter university , I’m struck with applying for scholarships and choosing a university that fits me. It’s been awhile since I contemplated on giving up drawing, I kid you not it’s been so so confusing and heartbreaking for me bc there are some different perspectives from some scholars based on the Hadith that stated, that among the people of hellfire are those who draw, something like that. I’ve been feeling like I’ve been punched in the face bc I can’t continue my passion and love for drawing (I use to draw cartoons and beings) and I know it’s not wrong to draw sceneries and other lifeless things (but it’s quite hard to get back to drawing rn) I’ve been rejected by a scholarship programme on a animation course and it really bummed me out. Nevertheless, I’ve secured a place in an Islamic university in my country. I think, it’s a way Allah SWT telling me to be close to him. I can’t lie that I’m not hurt, but this episode helped me realise that my desires are not to be exaggerated. Indeed Allah is with the broken hearted, please make dua’ for me.
Thank you so much Farah ❤️
yesterday i was taking a walk while listening to this episode on spotify. i didn't remember when it hit me but i love a group in kpop, and i love meme, i love keeping kpop memes from twitter. i have hundreds of them in my phone. and yesterday, while walking, i was moving the non kpop meme to a new folder and completely erasing the rest. sounds easy but gurl i even screenrecord my screen cause it is a really big thing for me, and i ended up doing it while walking cause i am afraid this desire to erase the folder might goes away when the podcast is finished. i don't know how i would become after this but i pray that anywhere it is, it will be a path where i can take Allah's company wherever i go. thank you farah for sending the messages, please continue to do so in the future❤
ah, and i love you for being blunt. like i LOVE it. thank you, i need it so much
أنتِ اسمٌ على مسمى بحق، اسمك فرح وكل شيءٍ فيكِ يبعث على الفرحة والسعادة والطمأنينة ❤ أحببتك وجزاك الله كل خير 🤍
Balance doesn't always means half and half! But I get the point and I also think din should be incorporated in all of our daily lives with at the minimum good niya and at best the right sunnah (how to eat, sleep, wash, entertain ourselves,...)
Truly I’m so grateful you’ve made these videos, I think all of us can agree that we love you for the sake of Allah and I hope that you continue to make these videos bc it means so much - to non Muslims and Muslims combined. Thank you sis 💗
Thanks. Real talk, Allah bless you and fam.
i wanted to start a channel like this but im camera shy, so im glad you're doing it for me ❤😂
you are the only muslim creator thus far that I can actually tolerate to watch and not feel sick to my stomach by. thank you for your honesty, how uncondescending you are, and for not making anyone (especially women), feel less than.
I never realised that ibadah is of so many kinds is actually a mercy of Allah swt. I always used to stress that there is so much and im unable to do all most days, but this is actually a variety. THIS IS A PERSPECTIVE!!!!! 🤯
These videos make me feel so calm and also make me laugh out loud in a way that feels so joyful thank you truly
i am extremely happy that Allah brought me here and made me discover your channel. Thank you for your deeds, may Allah reward you sister
i'm really grateful to found your channel❤️your videos really helps me a lots to keep improve myself to be a better Muslim❤May Allah bless you sisters🌹✨

I am always so exited to see your videos 😍I love you for the sake of Allah❤
Omg, I didn't know that we are called by how we worship Allah in the afterlife. Yes Farah, I am the one getting emotional 😢❤
Today I got a bit distracted in this dunya and remembered less of the akhira. Alhamdulliah I found this video because it brings me fear and peace at the same time. Farah your videos are such motivation to me, never stop ending these podcasts!! May Allah reward your immensely and grant you Jannah. May Allah SWT ease your hardships and grant you steadfastness.

Ngl. Decided to do a word search while listening to this, literally had to put the book down and just listened. Such a powerful reminder. Jazakallah khair ❤
Hey Farah, I'm grateful that I found your channel, you remind us of Allah, open our eyes and change our perspective. May Allah bless you 💘
I have made a habit to listen to you after work on train on my way back home and i look forward to travelling be cause of these. Please don’t stop, not soon atleast. These podcasts are a great revision for me abt Islam ❤
Thank you so much for doing this podcast. I reverted a few months ago and have so much to learn. Your videos make it fun while being educational. Thank you sister!
As salam aleykoum,
Farah I discovered your UA-cam channel recently. Well I don't have a perfect level of English but thanks to your videos I can improve. Above all I am nourished enormously by what you share. In addition to being a funny and touching person, your content resonates with me. I'm going through difficulties in my life (like everyone, in fact) but let's just say that this period of my life is more difficult. I keep reminding myself that this life is nothing compared to the hereafter. I also think that the number 1 poison is comparison with others. I personally try to detach myself as much as possible, even if I have relapses. Social networks are certainly the main cause, even though they expose falsehoods.
Dear Farah, I hope to meet you in the hereafter. May Allah help us and grant us all a happy ending in this life and in the hereafter.
I'm very glad and happy to find someone that agrees with me and talk about things I only think about and process with myself !! ❤
I don't really watch anyone else speaking about Islam , except for Nomanalikhan, Muftimenk and some more..... But tbh you are what our present generation need... Like really I'm 20 and your videos are deep and the way you speak is great
SO MANY GEMS THIS EP
Sister ma sha Allah, thank you for giving so much insight about this topic. Wallahi, this life is not worth it. Thank you for reminding me and the rest of the viewers that this life is a strand of string in comparison to the Akhira
Gotta listen to this podcast weekly to imprint it in my consciousness
not me crying in my bed listening your podcast 😭 your such an amazing and smart woman Farah اللهم بارك
I knew everything you talk about as a muslim im listening you know scholars’s videos talking about this dunya and hereafter but your podcast open my eyes dont know how to explain Subhan’Allah you always use the right words to impact may الله forgive us for our sins our recklessness and grant us jannah Amin Thank u so much 💜

Farah thank you so much for sharing this video, so eye opening. Also I love your arabic voice when you read Quran ❤
I love this is episode spacificly when you talk about the balance between the dounia and life after becouse i followed so many people who has this is concept and i was upset when they are thinkig like that way❤
“We’re not just here to live for the sake of living.” that hits real hard🥹
You know, I wholeheartedly agree with everything you said. The only thing I do want to point out though, is Surah Al-Qasas, Ayah 77, it's okay to have fun. It's okay to indulge in halal, fun things every once in a while because in the end, yes this life is a test but we are also expected to enjoy it, too. It won't be easy! But we still have to remember to visit our families and meet up in a restaurant, go out for a walk int he park, read a nice novel.
Balance is important too , you need to spend time with your family , your friends, and yourself too doing what you like to do ( ofc not anything haram ) but we should also spend more time worshiping allah then living our life and thank you for reminding I was lost in this dunia I did some bad stuff and I feel so bad deep down and I regret sm may allah forgive me and make it easy for all of us
thank you! i've been having an existential crisis regarding this topic lately and seeing it being presented in this sort of format definitely makes it more easy to digest. may Allah bless you for the help you've given to so many others
when you said that at 11:09 a hadees came to kind and i just wanted to leave it here. Al-Mustawrid ibn Shaddād (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "This world in comparison with the Hereafter is like the amount of water one of you gets when he dips his finger in the sea. Let him see what his finger returns with." It just hits different when you are actually in the presence of a sea like....
what makes you think most people in this moment have a good time anyway. You can only get ahead of the curve that this current life expects by working extremely hard at it. There is something noble about doing this as well because you are respecting your position and potential. Some people take their life very seriously this way because they are thankful what they have and show it by respecting their potential

Wallahi i love you. You do make a difference. May Allah bless you and use you to guide people to jannah🤲🏽
Mash Allah with reminding us to Allahs beautiful truth you made me cry multiple times. Subhan Allah. I am thankful that your video was recommended to me. I subscribed. May Allah protect you and your family. 🤲❤️
You always give such powerful reminders. Thank you.
And the fact that this dunya was a punishment for Adam (a.s) should tell us how this dunya is literally worth nothing
When I watch her videos I feel so comfortable like hearing grandmas story in childhood
I thank you from my heart I really realised that this live is really not worth anything I cried in the middle
I thank you really really for everything you saved me and made my eyes open I wish you all the best on your journey
May Allah reward you 🤲🏻❤️
May Allah have mercy on us and forgive us🤲🏻
I’ve never been this early!😂 You don’t know how much your videos have helped me and others, thankyou so much Farah!❤❤❤
Everytime I’m craving that feeling of listening to music I get on UA-cam and your videos are recommended instead alhamdulilah
This made me imagine myself in the future of the afterlife looking back to life, actions, and experiences. Like why should i even care so much about fulfilling myself and following my desires, when i can fight them. In the end pain that results good deeds becomes pleasure and pleasure that would result sins would become pain. 😬
I admit I am human and I make mistakes..
this was so beautiful. Alhamdulilah. i cried multiple times. May Allah guide all of us, and grant us all the highest ranks of Jannat Al Firdous Ameen 💗💗
I'm not Muslim, but I totally agree. In Catholic faith we are taught - a time and season - ashes to ashes and dust to dust. You really can't take anything with you. The most precious things we have are our loved ones and time.
great video, i get the point you are trying to make but to sme extent i think we should not be very close to deen but with a limit, because even the prophet told us not to be overdoing deen, like wht sme people are doing which will be a disadvantage on the long run, so to be more clear i think on your daily basis select specific times for memorizing quran, reciting athkar, praying nawafil if u want to, but also you do sme other things such as, talking to friends, playing sport, learning, etc. because during your day entertainment is important for your sanity that is why we were told do everything with a limit don't overdo anything even the good things
Thank you for eye opening about this❤️ Never thought about stuff as distractions but when I look it that way it makes more sense!! Ily sis😚
İ just love how honest you are may allah bless ur heart
I really love the way you express your ideas ☺️
farah, i absolutely love and adore you girl, i feel so fresh with eman when i hear you, when sometimes you cry during your podcasts, it gets me in my feels, youre like the big sister i never had, I pray for you girlie, you make me so full with eman, i love you to the fullest, i want you to make a video about how you manage your day remembering Allah and the list of things you do! love from pakistan

Thank you Farah for making this video and reminding us all of what really matters in our lives ♡ love you
Hello Farah.
I am Italian, no Muslim, but I find your words really really inspiring.
The only question is: so everything we do is just reduced to try to save our souls? We don't give money on charity because we feel sorry for a person that is living in the street for example but only because we want to go to Haven and above all we dont want to be damned (who wants to suffer for the eternity? Nobody)?
So on the Justice Day the only things who will matter is that we have been "good boys" just because of FEAR, not because we really embraced those ideals and lifestyle. If believers - all of a sudden and iphotetically - would have the CERTAINTY that they got wrong, that there is not a God or a after life... Would they go on avoiding a nice cafe, for instance?
I dont want to reduce everything to this, but where is the REAL importance of what we do if we do it just in an "opportunistic" way ... Otherwise we wouldnt do it?
Im thinking this too… i feel like this video takes away from the purpose of why Islam was revealed… not just to send ppl to Jannah but to help ppl in this dunya live their best lives. The function of Islam in society in helping each other and doing good by each other and preventing evil… not just sitting at home reading Quran and dhikr and praying while those things are good it’s meant to ground you in the fact that you are only a human who is not expected to be in control of everything. The feeling from this video felt similar to how philosophers would debate abt life without mentioning how to practically go about. It’s just not reality and to say that we do good only out of fear and wanting to get into heaven takes away the purpose of Islam in society which is help ALL OF COLLECTIVELY do good and minimize evil.
Honestly lovinggggg all these videos - so refreshing and nice to listen to something with the facts of our existence with the veil lifted from our eyes. But just one thing to say - balance can be possible to a certain extent. For example, I have actually discovered coffee shops near me (even though I live in London) that play vocals only Islamic nasheeds. Or I also know many places that don’t play anything at all - and the conversation in said coffee shops can be not only lightly meaningful, but conversations that can inspire and encourage love of Allah - it’s all about who you choose to surround yourself with 💗 just a little reflection I wanted to share!! God sees our intentions and will bring us solutions to get involved in ‘dunya’ enjoyment whilst staying on the path
"What are you trying to balance your time in hell and heaven?!" 🤣🤣🤣
Thank you Farah for another beautiful podcast of yours ✨
Ma Sha ALLAH THABARAKALLAH sister, May ALLAH AZZAWAJJAL grant you immense happiness with constant Imaan and Taqwa.
I loved this episode a lot (as I do with every other episode lol)! Whenever I think about how I’m not going to be able to live my ideal life, doing the things I want to be doing and being happy, I always remind myself that this isn’t my only shot at happiness. In fact, true happiness is probably not even possible in this world because otherwise what would the point of Jannah be? When you don’t believe in an akhirah, of course you’re going to be chasing and chasing after things, and you might get some of those things, but other times you’ll be disappointed. And it’s just a waste of time. I’ll struggle and sacrifice now, and then be truly happy in my next life, In’Sha’Allah.
Thank you so much for the reminder, Farah! I love all of your podcasts!! You’re amazing ❤
I look forward to every episode, it makes my day a little better!
Making me always happy🫂
