Few months ago I began to have some doubts about Islam which I later found out to be just the whisperings of shaytan. So I picked up the translated version of Quran during the pandemic and started to read.The more I read, the more doubts were clarified. Now Alhamdulillah I have a firm faith and I try to become a better person everyday.

[niceboii]

ok so for me islam has answered more than any other religion .

[niceguy]

For me, having doubts about Islam is actually a good thing. It’s a sign that Allah cares about us, it makes us pick up the Qur’an and listening to lectures. This religion is based on reasons. I’ve encountered numerous amount of doubts, it what makes the iman stronger

[mohammadosman]

Brothers there is no doubt in Islam but there can be confusions within ones mind. I used to suffer with that but now alhamdulillah my faith is firm like never before. Shaytan tries different tactics to trick you into having doubtful thoughts. But rest assured that when you call upon Allah, Allah will never leave you helpless. Insha'allah.

The truth is from your Lord.

Allah u Akbar

[quadrilatera-tts]

WALLAHI! This video works like a pain healer .such a great topic.

[pamangojie]

put aside your ego. open up your heart and cleanse it from all the doubts, anger, and all that negativity. Talk to Allah. Submit to Allah. Embrace the deen

[mariama]

May Allah guide every Muslim who’s iman is weak, who is misguided, who is confused. Knowledge is power.

[mohamedfaizal]

What alternative remedies for SERIOUS doubts are there?
1.seek out schlor
2.seek sufficient knowledge
3.contribution in religion (good deeds)
4.ask Allah for guidance

[wishahhasan]

I think, that's why the adhkaar are so important. I've always wondered of the significance of adhkaar. And every time I find that they're such an important part of a Muslim's daily routine. I mean, in this instance they surely help in keeping the evil whisperings of shaitaan like doubts in Islam far away from the boundaries of our thoughts!

[mehriabdukodirova]

The video came out at the right time for me, thanks so much for such a great video.

[rameezziyard]

To have intrusive thoughts about ones religion or core beliefs is called scrupulosity. It’s an obsessive compulsive disorder which falls under anxiety disorder. It has nothing to do with ones iman. Just like the sheikh mentioned having these intrusive thoughts make you feel uncomfortable which is indeed a sign of iman. we need to practise allowing these thoughts and not react to it as thoughts don’t reflect us or define us. It can also be referred to as Waswas of Shaitan. The more we react to these thoughts the more power we give to Shaitan to who would keep disturbing us. If we stop reacting to it gently and gradually, Shaytan is going to eventually give up as he knows that these thoughts isn’t a trigger anymore.

I am born into a muslim very religious family i even went to mosque at a young age i think i was 6, went to learn the quran and to learn my religion but then i left the mosque when i entered high school and i started to become more distant, i was being dragged into this school society, copying my friends doing this and that until i lost it but at some point i started to practice the quran again, talk to my parents about islam and became closer to allah again when suddenly i started having doubts at the age of 12 and i didn’t even know what to do. i cried a lot. i was devastated. i just wanted to die. at some point i felt i had no faith in islam anymore. i thought to myself if i was a muslim anymore. i had a very strong ego and pride so i couldn’t just easily tell my mom but when i couldn’t take it anymore i just told my mum and she advised me and told me it happens to every muslim it even happened to her once and i spoke to a scholar she was familiar with. i became better but the doubts didn’t go away. i still have them now at the age of 15 but i don’t let it bother me because i now know my situation and i have 100% faith in allah no matter what thoughts i get.
sorry i just had to share my experience 🐱 ehe

Verily, Allah will not change the (good) condition of a people as long as they do not change their state (of goodness) themselves (by committing sins and by being ungrateful and disobedient to Allah)
(Surah Ar-Ra’d 13:11)

[zaidkadri]

Alhamdulillah, I can feel Allah guiding me by watching these videos.

[mayaadnan]

I have no doubt in Islam but in some people who called themselves 'Muslims'.
I've been dealing with them since 2 years ago and struggling alone after I lost my mother.
Even though I'm not a good Muslim and far from that, but I will never leave my faith no matter what.

[gasserhegazy]

Doubts are illogical which makes them meaningless. You have doubts about Islam it's just shaytaan. When you say "oh what if Islam is not correct or not the truth", it's illogical since you are saying it without anything to support what u just said u just said it because your afraid of being wrong. My advice is just follow what is right using logic and evidence. That's what led me to islam

[theresonlyone]

For those having doubts, don't let others judge you. Continue your prayers at all cost to Allah SWT.
Ask him to purify your mind and heart.
I'm currently dealing with this and it's difficult but I will ask help from Allah no matter what.
When one feels like he/she's becoming firmer in faith, Shaytaan will try and stop the momentum of you getting closer to Allah.
I'm currently in a turning point in my life where I haven't felt this obligated to follow Allah's commands. All I care is about Islam. All I care about is the akhirah.
Remember, this world is a test and it will be full of challenges. But just remember Allah SWT.
May Allah SWT purify our hearts and mind. May Allah SWT protect us from Shaytaan.
