This episode is one of the most laid-back and chill episodes that I've had. I had a special guest (one of my close friends) come on and do a late-night talk episode with me, where we answer different questions, reflect, share advice, and more. This episode is more natural and unplanned, but I hope you can benefit from it.

how to stop attaching your happiness to people | islamic feelings Aug 16, 2023

Show notes

In Islam, the concept of attaching one's happiness primarily to people is approached with caution and balance. While human relationships and connections are important, Islam teaches believers to place ultimate reliance and attachment on Allah (God) rather than solely depending on human interactions for their happiness. The Quran and the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad PBUH emphasize the importance of putting one's faith in Allah and finding contentment through a strong connection with Him. Islam encourages believers to strike a balance between forming meaningful relationships with others and maintaining a strong connection with Allah. While people can bring happiness and support, attachment solely to them can lead to disappointment and instability. By focusing on faith, personal responsibility, gratitude, and reliance on God, Muslims aim to find lasting contentment and joy while navigating the complexities of human relationships. This episode discusses a few personal tips in how to avoid attaching your happiness to people. Anas reported: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Leave the world to its people. Whoever takes from the world more than what suffices him, he has taken a portion of his ruin while he is unaware.” Source: al-Firdaws lil-Daylamī 363 ☆ This episode is sponsored by Rabata.

Feeling overwhelmed is something we all go through, and sometimes it can seem like it's taking over everything. Learning how to handle your emotions when you're overwhelmed is a really important part of life. Ultimately, the teachings of Islam encourage believers to place their trust in Allah's wisdom and mercy. Understanding that challenges are a part of life's journey and that seeking help through prayer, supplication, and community can provide a sense of relief and guidance when feeling overwhelmed is key. As we navigate the complexities of life, including moments of overwhelm, the teachings and practices of Islam can serve as a source of strength, comfort, and resilience, helping individuals find their footing amidst the storm and fostering a deeper connection to their faith.

overcoming insecurities, building confidence, hijab tips + more | islamic feelings Jul 28, 2023

Show notes

This particular episode has been one of the most highly requested ones I've had so far. Discussing insecurities is never an easy topic, and as individuals strive to become better and more modest Muslims, each journey should lead to a destination. Throughout this process, it's common to experience moments of insecurity and a fading sense of confidence, particularly when one's appearance sets them apart as a Muslim. Not to mention, confidence is a positive quality valued in Islam.The belief in Allah's mercy, guidance, and support can instill a sense of confidence in a Muslim's life. Moreover, Islam promotes humility, which is different from low self-confidence. Muslims are encouraged to be humble and acknowledge that all their strengths and achievements come from Allah's blessings. This understanding prevents arrogance and helps maintain a balanced sense of confidence. Insecurities may arise from societal pressures and stereotypes that some Muslims face. Negative portrayals of Muslims in the media can contribute to feelings of insecurity and alienation. Additionally, misconceptions about Islam and the fear of being judged or misunderstood by others can create internal struggles for some individuals. This episode delves precisely into this matter. - Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, "Islam began as something strange and will return to being strange, so blessed are the strangers."

Islam & Special Needs: Are We Behaving Like The Quraysh? | Belal Elkadri Takeover EP Jul 21, 2023

Show notes

Special Needs and Islam is a discussion that a lot of people aren't educated or comfortable discussing. Unfortunately, due to the treatment special needs individuals receive in their local masjids and by their community, it is more convenient for parents or special needs individuals to feel the need to hide themselves. Due to this lack of knowledge and ignorance regarding how the Muslim community treats individuals with disabilities or special needs, we are effectively removing and harming a part of our ummah. Our masjids struggle to be inclusive, and unfortunately, some masjids aren't concerned about facilitating a part of the ummah. This important topic led me to invite Brother Belal Elkadri. Belal Elkadri is a motivational speaker in the Metro Detroit area where he delivers sermons and lectures to empower the community and bring awareness to current issues.

Depths of Dhikr | Final Ep | Islamic Feelings Jul 11, 2023

Show notes

Moving mountains through ministrations, Dhikr is not just words. It is how one remembers God and subconsciously moves oneself onto the righteous path. The remembrance of God reverberates throughout Islamic history, from the tongues of the prophets to those of the common man. The remembrance of God echoed when Musa (A.S) split the sea, echoed when Hajar ran between mountains, and echoes when the common man today succumbs to ministrations. Tawakkul is the blind trust in Allah, a trust that Dhikr helps build. Copywriting: Isbah Studios Resources: Life with Allah - Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “To declare the glory of Allah, the praise of Allah, the oneness of Allah, and the greatness of Allah is more beloved to me than anything over which the sun rises.” Source: Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 2695

Moving mountains through ministrations, Dhikr is not just words. It is how one remembers God and subconsciously moves oneself onto the righteous path. The remembrance of God reverberates throughout Islamic history, from the tongues of the prophets to those of the common man. The remembrance of God echoed when Musa (A.S) split the sea, echoed when Hajar ran between mountains, and echoes when the common man today succumbs to ministrations. Tawakkul is the blind trust in Allah, a trust that Dhikr helps build. - A man asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ: “Which warriors are the best?” He ﷺ replied: “Those who remember Allah the most.” The man asked: “Which of those who fast are the best?” He ﷺ replied: “Those who remember Allah the most.” Then the man mentioned ṣalāh, zakāh and ḥajj, and each time the Messenger of Allah ﷺ replied: “Those who remember Allah the most.” Abū Bakr (raḍiy Allāhu ‘anhu) said to ʿUmar (raḍiy Allāhu ‘anhu): “Those who remember (Allah) have taken all the good,” at which the Messenger of Allah ﷺ remarked: “Yes, indeed!” (Aḥmad 15553)
