44:16 to 45:05 is a *gem* that every Muslim should hear.

"Everything around you is becoming more intelligent at satisfying you and your delusion. And you have to do that much more work to overcome that, and to make yourself hear what's gonna actually better you in sha Allah".

[saboohifatimashafia]

1. Have a good character. [ The religion in its is entirety is a good character, so whoever surpasses you in good character has surpassed you in Religion ]
2. Perform your Fardz, and pay attention to Halaal and Haram.
3. Don't be contained/sustained with the extra good deeds that you do, focus on the deeds or fardz that you "MUST" be doing but are showing a blind eye and deaf ear to.
4. Get Inspired from the people who are best than you, get inspired from their good qualities and strive to bring them in your life rather than looking at the worst people and being like " oh, I atleast don't do that sin ". Focus on the part where you lack and you must be doing.
5. Decrease your fatal flaws / sins / bad deeds and not be sustained or rely on the good deeds that you do.[ Not doing something that Allah tells you not to do is harder than doing something that Allah ( SWT ) tells you to do or tells you is good for you to do. ]

"Everything around you is becoming more intelligence at satisfying you in your delusions." That hit home

this man has literally made me better person alhumdulillah.

[Hafizahmeda]

We need to stop focusing on faults of others and talking about them. Instead focus on our faults and work on them.

[D.J.]

Even tho I know almost all the points mentioned from prev lectures and others, this still hurt every bit of me cuz I know all my “fatal flaws”, I’ve been trying for so long I literally don’t have anything left to do except dua, and asking ppl to pray for me, please my brother or sister who’s reading this, pray that Allah give me good character and patience, and make me good to my parents, family and myself.
I trust that Allah will answer eventually, and that I can and will change, I just really really need your dua’s rn.
Jazakum Allah khairan.

When brother Omar said May we all meet all the prophets in Jannah I got the chills and my eyes flooded. SubhanAllah right to my heart, Ameen make Allah make it so, Ameen

[Revelations_of_Islam]

*I cannot emphasize enough the immense power of Surah Baqarah when it comes to providing protection and healing. Subhanallah. May Allah protect us all. Please keep me in your duas. The video you shared was incredibly enlightening, brother*

"We're living at a time where algorithms are catered towards what you like to hear and what you like you like to see and not what's going to challenge you to be better. Everything around you is becoming more intellingent at satisfying you in your delusion. And you have to do that much more work to overcome that and to make yourself hear what's gonna actually better you inshallah. Ramadan whem it comes is a great time do that." 44:27

[living]

"We're coming to a time where people aren't gonna tell you what you need to hear anymore because people aren't going to want to offend your sensitivities and sensibilities. We're living in a time where algorithms are catered towards what you like to hear and what you like to see, not what's going to challenge you to become better. Everything around you is becoming more intelligent at satisfying you and your delusion. And you have to do that much more work to overcome that and to make yourself hear what's actually better you ان شاء الله تعالى".... how well said was that ❤️

[khalz-AJ]

This is one of the best lectures I've ever heard. Jazakallahu kheir. I absolutely love Sheikh Omar Suleiman for the sake of Allah

[ismailsarchives]

May Allah make me and all of us like Luqman (23:02) and Umar (28:15).
May Allah not make me and us of those who are deluded by their own good deeds. (32:19)
May Allah make me and all of us sincere people who can give up our sins. (38:09)

42:37 صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ
This is one of them ahadeeth I’ve heard the most from Sh. Omar. May Allah AWJ preserve him in the hereafter and in this life too.

[strivingslave]

53:30 Excel in deeds that come easiest to you without betraying those qualities with flaws you ignore. Don’t get self-amazed with your deeds. Be grateful to ٱللَّٰه .
