Me. I am the 2nd one. I changed myself overnight by Allah's mercy. I went to sleep as a born Muslim who was living as a kuffar and I woke up as a practicing Muslim. I sincerely repented and everything as they say, is history. I don't know what I did to deserve this level of mercy, love and guidance but Allah bestowed this on me. ALHAMDULILLAH. Now I absolutely hate doing whatever it is I used to do. My life has literally changed since I reverted. It's not me who is doing anything, it's Allah who is guiding me and helping me be who I truly should be. Subhan Allah. Mash Allah. Alhamdulillah. Allahu Akber. May you are also loved and guided by Allah, too. May Allah love you, forgive you, have mercy on you and may Allah protect you and grant you Jannah.

Dr Sulieman you brought me to Allah. My fiancé is Muslim and asked me to investigate Islam. I started with Yaqueen and took my shahada in January after following you and Didiat I love Allah and Islam and finally feel loved. Everyone says fear God but I feel so safe in Allahs care finally. I give him my life. I tell everyone I know about my experience. Thank you and everyone else at Yaqeen and my amazing fiancé Sofiane Mokrane for my new awesome life. May Allah bless you all I love my Muslim sisters and brothers. Allah bless you all may Allah bless the messenger and prophets. Allah Akbar

I was thinking what is my purpose or goal for my life or what is my ability in this world to make my life meaningful. Then I saw the title of this video. It made me cry so much because I nearly forgot that my Lord (swt) loves me and cares more than anyone. I should have tried to make myself His (swt) friend. For this video, thank you so much. I will make dua for you all @yaqeeninstitute members and families. Thank you so much

1) the pleasure of Allah is the only thing that drives you to do more
2) Sincerity of Repentance and the pleasure of Allah - makes you completely changed
3) major trial and you try to seek Allahs pleasure

We did hajj in 2019 and we were all blessed with a beautiful rain.... ALLAHU AKBAR ALLAHU AKBAR ALLAHU AKBAR

This was a really good video. Made me get teary eyed from hearing of how merciful Allah Azzawajal truly is. Subhanallah.

[renoart]

Dear brother and sheikh please make dua for my mother passed away 2weeks ago, may Allah forgive her rest her soul inj jannah. She struggled a lot raise us for her whole life .

[AzamKhan-pefd]

When that storm started my mother was in the tent and her tent was among the 1st one blown away. She saw a 17 to 18 years girl in a danger. So she ran and save her. On that time she injured herself. Got few steaches on her head. My mother is 65 years old. Still is she in Modena. Going back home tomorrow. After that incident she is very sick but she finished her hajj. May Allah help her.

[kheddarvarhnz]

I don’t know how mine happened but Allah’s mercy is overwhelming. From being polytheist, to a Christian and now a Muslim (Devoted). I remember a voice telling me in 2018 when I was in my breaking point “Serve me for 2 years and see what I make out of you” Alhamdullilah looking back at the journey I realise my story relate to surah Ad Duha. At this point I think of nothing but Allah, questioning my status with my Lord daily and hoping I get to that special place with Him. May Allah make our journey to Him easy for Us All. Aaameeen.
Believe in your Lord and He will bring you to Light.
