'Am I Really Sincere?' | Khutbah by Dr. Omar Suleiman

How do I deal with self-doubt regarding my own intentions?

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ أَنْ أُشْرِكَ بِكَ وَأَنَا أَعْلَمُ ، وَأَسْتَغْفِرُكَ لِمَا لَا أَعْلَمُ

O Allah, I seek refuge with You lest I should commit shirk with You knowingly and I seek Your forgiveness for what I do unknowingly.

Ya Sheikh I love you so much for the sake of Allah, may you always continue to be a shining light of guidance to our ummah! Aameen!

[muskansiddikee]

When he said: 'just like any sin, it has temporary sweetness but a permanent consequence that hit me hard...

[arjumandansari]

الَّلهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ أَنْ أُشْرِكَ بِكَ وأَنا أَعلَمُ وأَستَغفِرُكَ لما لا أَعلَمُ

Allahumma ini aujubika un ushrika bika wa ana a’lamu wa astaghfiruka lima la a’lamu
O Allah, I seek refuge in You from ascribing any partner to you knowingly. I also seek your protection from unknowingly [ascribing partners to you].

[arjumandansari]

1. The power of dua-keep asking Allah for sincerity and forgiveness
2. Initial sincerity is important
3. Constantly renew your intentions
4.Private good deeds❤️
5. Consistence performance
What I do in public, I do it in private...

"At the end of the day, you should be interrogating YOUR OWN intentions MORE than anyone else interrogates your at the end of the day, you want to be perceived in the BEST way possible to Him! (Allah)

[jalilnazarli]

الَّلهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ أَنْ أُشْرِكَ بِكَ وأَنا أَعلَمُ وأَستَغفِرُكَ لما لا أَعلَمُ
Allahumma ini auzubika an ushrika bika wa ana a’lamu wa astaghfiruka lima la a’lamu.”
Translation: O Allah I seek refuge in you from that which I do knowingly, and I seek forgiveness from you for that which I do and I don't even know it.
May Allah accept our duas

[ihtemad]

Du'a for Sincerity:


اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ أَنْ أُشْرِكَ بِكَ وَأَنَا أَعْلَمُ ، وَأَسْتَغْفِرُكَ لِمَا لَا أَعْلَمُ


Allahumma inni au'dhubika an-ushrika bika wa ana a'alamu wa astaghfiruka lima la a'alamu


Translation: "O Allah, I seek refuge in You from ascribing any partner to You knowingly and I seek forgiveness from You for what I do unknowingly."


Lessons from this supplication:



1. Keep asking Allah to keep me sincere & for forgiveness to keep me away from that which takes away from my sincerity.


2. Make sure when I perform an action, I have the initial sincerity for that action. Before I do what I do, remind myself that it's only for Allah SWT and I want nothing out of my prayer, nothing out of my charity, nothing out of the goodness that I do from the people of this world.

3. Constantly renewing intention. It's revisiting the initial intention and making sure my intention was not stolen along the way.

4. My private good deeds. Anything I have done that has been seen by other than Allah SWT I don't count it for my good deeds. I should instead store up my private good deeds so that on the day of judgement if those public deeds are credited then Alhamdulillah, otherwise, my stash of good deeds in the closet will vouch for me so much so that I get to Jannah by the grace of Allah SWT.

5. Consistent performance. What I do in public, I do in private and vice versa and there's no drop off of the motivation, no drop off of the performance of the prayer, no drop off the goodness.


The goal is not to remove other people's eyes. Instead, the goal is to remove the weight of those eyes to where they affect the performance or sincerity of those deeds.
