Tried fasting Ramadan before converting and it was that experience that really opened my heart to Islam. Even as a non-Muslim, I felt the difference.

[@kmsepr]

Masha allah ❤ Include me in your dua,I can't walk due to spinal cord infection since 2018

[@wyno2661]

Ramadan Mubarak!

[@chogorisufi]

Islam is the art of recognizing the equal amazingness of every moment ❤

"They can't make money out of contemplation" 🤯

[@rohanisahguro6472]

“There’s something about modernity that wishes to make money out of us by keeping us in that childlike state (distracted)” this reminded me of the documentary, The Social Dilemma (2020)

[@islamandthesoul]

Abdal Hakim Murad The Imam Ghazali of our time. Shaykh, Thanks for your charity to Muslims.

[@aidykathleen]

This is so pertinent to me. I find myself numbing through distractions frequently, because I’m already very dissociated due to complex trauma, so it does take much more energy for me to accomplish things. I get tired, and I resign myself to zoning out. May Allah guide me and help me work on that within myself 🤲🏼 some relief as well.

[@hadiasarwat3422]

Loved the message that Islam is not a religion which asks of us to make our way around the duniya, but instead through the duniya! ❤️

[@hayah6583]

I loved the manner of the host. Just speaking enough, not little not much, no overriding. Enjoyed the talk. Shaykh Abdal Hakim Murad is a treasure house of knowledge and insight. Beautiful and enlightening!❤

''When we take a wrong moral decision, its because the believing mind is not fully in place, if you're deciding good from evil, you need to be in full position of all your faculties. Usually when we take a bad decision, it because we've shut out some part of our conscious in order to allow lower self to grab something''

[@abubakr2981]

''Distraction tends to be the beginning of sin''

[@afiyahali3870]

I could listen to Sh AHM all day. May Allah bless him with long life

[@AishaRosalie]

Love this can't wait for more!

[@bluekangaroo101]

This episode is exceptionally insightful and enlightening, I learned so much! Plus the sounds of the kids playing in the background gives is a very wholesome touch. I find these discussions to be really significant for us living in the modern world and will definitely be tuning in for more. Thankful this randomly popped up on my feed!

[@omerkhan7964]

The host is excellent

[@nmckavett]

Alhamdullia and thankyou for this video. I only reverted 1st January this year so my first Ramadan. I regularly get distracted during prayer. Insha'Allah this video will help keep my mind on the prayer and fasting. May Allah guide us all during this difficult month.

[@tariqhanif7676]

Excellent session. Other hosts can learn from this interviewer. He was engaged, did not interrupt, was structured, and kept the flow at an even pace. Lot of duas for both.

[@rosiebegum225]

may allah forgive me. i haven't been able to fast, health reasons, but i intend to make up for this loss, give my charity to my local masjid, and catch up on my salah, and fasts, insha'Allah it have to achieve this, .for the sake of Allah SWT

[@aqibsuhail8388]

I thank Allah SWT for allowing people like you to walk this earth in our times, Sheikh. With such poise and directness in speech , you resemble a particular Imam of 10th century :) Alhamdulillah.

The art of living in the moment and how children are marvelled experiencing the world for first time .. very very good discussion

[@s.m.junayed7716]

Great episode

[@KaazzKipp]

Amazing discussion. It’s very rare these days to have scholars who are well versed in topics that go beyond Islamic studies.

[@tam8995]

Beautiful

[@CLBOO6]

Really admire Sheikh Abdal Hakim. You ask him a simple question, he answers deeply.

[@daahirdugsiga8653]

Masha Allah! I really liked how the Sheikh had answered the first question( what's your favorite Ayat of the Quran). What a great lecture!

[@umzj]

Mashallah, Allah swt bless sheykh AHM

[@KosarNazir-n3q]

Enjoyed listening to this so much and pray to Allah swt that I can practice some of the advice . Thank you Cambridge Muslim college

[@ribeirojorge5064]

❤️💚💜

[@Islam.yjjjgtdwc677]

Thank you very much Shaykh🌺 Allah bless you all.

[@aamirbilal3205]

So focused a discussion ❤

[@KaliPuppies]

Hearing him speak about what we can do without distractions is a little nostalgic as it reminds me of school years where I could write flawless logical essays as well as compositions. Most of that is lost today, I struggle with paying attention and at the same time we are flooded with all kinds of noises, it takes effort to clear it.

[@syedzainrehan]

Good discussion. jazakum Allaah(swt) khair

[@bazil166]

Really pertinent topic. Alhamdulilah.

[@_darkerblue]

"distraction is the beginning of the sin"

[@ateeqn1985]

❤Mash-a-Allah so insightful

[@EmmKay786]

Excellent discourse.

[@azrachida7610]

9:57 New Zealand Enlightening for all ages specially for young families. Jazakallahu khaeran for this motivational message. May we practice and transform this information to Amal which is actual ilm according to Islam.

[@albertwlehnah4492]

Thank you Sheikh , watching from Monrovia, Liberia- West Africa

[@dmib55555]

Perfect. Ramadan kareem to one and all 🙂

[@docfakhra]

Mashallah

[@Pilts82]

One of the protections against trials in the grave is any beneficial knowledge about Islam and Allah that you shared with others in this world. This Ramadan, share your favorite hadith, or teach someone your favorite surah or post a spiritual reminder for others! And get Allah's blessings and protection in the hereafter! May Allah give you multiple folds of good deeds this month

[@hmul3399]

Thank you. Inclined to now part with my phone for the rest of Ramadan. May Allah grant His guidance

[@amyque3234]

excellent !

[@Shmoodyy]

Brilliant lecture, I hope Allah swt enables Sheikh Abdal Hakim Murad to continue to benefit us more and more and to preserve his life, ameen.

[@fawadsheikh4294]

SubhanaAllah! full with real knowledge and reflection

[@MohammadIbrahimKhokhar]

Love you Shaikh sb... I have been listening and sharing your thoughts among my friends and students... Praying for your long and healthy life...

[@deepwatch8395]

Great Interview :) i try to reflect on this topic in this ramadan as i watched myself not being distracted by entertainment but rather by my tendency to get passive in doing my daily activities. I feel tired and attach this to fasting. I really have to see my fast as a way to be naturally active :)

[@sanamt4945]

Alhamdulillah i grew up playing and enjoying but for the first time after lockdown i got too attached to KZbin and have noticed a huge decline in my concentration. My self-discipline has also decreased. Inshallah hope this Ramadan to try to turn back to my old self. This interview Inshallah will help. Jazakallah.

[@Uzair_Of_Babylon465]

Great video keep it up you're doing amazing things 😁😀

[@oh4802]

That is amazing, please add subtitles in Arabic and other languages

[@hu000_]

This episode was quite refreshing yet reflective! Looking forward to more of these.

[@lethargic_cow]

Very insightful. Thank you ♥️

[@Shukzsheikh]

This was beautiful mashalah, may Allah make it easy for us to follow the advice of the sheikh

[@yiquanawalkb4run26]

Asalamalaykum and thank you, that was lovely to listen to both of youand I’m very happy to see you again especially here in Ramadan 💐peace

[@RaghdaDaftedar]

جزاكم الله خيرا Very poignant points about education and technology. Makes me think of the much needed conversation on how we should intentionally design schooling for critical consciousness. Curious if there are conversations and scholarship taking place at CMC on school and curriculum design?

[@salmanahmed4718]

Might I say that there are many things in the world that are not very amazing. Hence the attraction to distractions .

[@aziza000]

I have fasted but I have lacked and been deficient in prayers and reciting the Holy Qur’an. In previous years I haven’t worked so been more active. This year I have worked from home and even taken days off but still been far more lazy. The food I’m eating is not healthy. My sleeping is all over the place. I also used to be careful with avoiding sins but this year I’ve been reading news where there may be some vulgarity or I’ve been on social media and there’s been vulgarity or music popping up.

[@mirzabeg2274]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@snakejuce]

Proper.

[@countingtheayat1914]

Please list the book recommendations mentioned at the end!

[@sheharyarmalik3554]

Can someone share the names of the books he mentioned?

[@immadsadiq697]

I can’t decipher the name of the first author mentioned after Ghazzali. The second,however, was The Millennium Discourses by Etsko Schuitema. Available on Amazon. We request the CMC Team to provide these names preferably as bubbles on the screen during the video.

[@yastah9791]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@-WalkWithMe2025]

Alhamdulillah, a great question to ponder today ... Is dunya a distraction for us? - great choice in the modern world: have a cappuccino or fast for a day (or a month) ?? :)

[@anastasiasongs]

What’s the book mentioned at 30:00, does anyone have the full title and author? Jzk and Ramadan Kareem.

[@ukke83]

Please name of the anasheed in the beginning?

[@segante]

19:59 .. thug lyfe 😎🚬 .. *Once you say Allahu Aakbar, nobody can make money out of you*

[@samyf1879]

[@khaleelahmed9009]

This presenter dhould just stop , ask one questiom let the shsykh go snd stop speaking snd call it a day

[@ateeqn1985]

Can you not see that Sheikh Abdul Hakeem is addressing him. Perhaps YOU need to not get distracted and listen to Sheikh.
