My father passed away recently. May Allah SWT forgive him and grant him Jannatul Ferdaus. Ameen.

[@ibtisamm2915]

SubhaanAllah... We are frozen in time... That's so apt. People move on, but pain stays, you don't heal, but Allah teaches you to live with it. Only Imaan gets you through.

[@UMKALTUMECOLLEGE]

Indeed is not easy I use to think 😢that losing a parent is the worst because they are irreparable 😢May Allah forgive and have mercy on my dear Mom Umkaltume Abdulqudus and unite us in Jannah soon

[@noreenbi9079]

​@@UMKALTUMECOLLEGE No losing a child is the worst. Tauba .

[@rukhsanapatel7695]

A loss is a loss, pain is pain…whether it’s a parent, spouse or child. Only those who go through this will understand. I know… because I’m going through it. It’s heart wrenching 😢

[@foxyinflats]

My mom is dying. She was me best friend and loved me more than anyone. I feel very alone right now

[@user-fo2cc7xx4y]

[@damahom92]

Wallahi I needed this. I’m going through it. We lost our daughter at 5 months. Very painful. If anyone’s reading this, there’s a hole in our hearts. An adjustment that feels impossible, life and time feels stuck. Did everything right. Asked for a perfect baby. Allah took her back. It’s hard to accept.. big dreams, vision and plans. Allah has a plan. Forgive me everyone and please dua for me. I will dua for everyone and especially you shiek Bilal.

[@abdiirahmanjama-nur2321]

Ameen. May Allah make it easy for you and your family Inshallah.

[@khalz-AJ]

I'm sorry for your loss. May Allah make it easy for you all and inshaAllah you will be reunited with your child.

59:00 Dear Sheikh Belal. It’s beautiful, that you hug your daughter, mashaaAllah tabarakAllah. Because some dads never hug their daughters 😢 So to me it’s not “just a hug”. It’s a wonderful act. May Allah reward you and your family insha Allah.

[@noreenahmad7752]

Brother Belal. I have lost my youngest son was 8yr old in 2018. Since then I have got more closer connections to Allah. And I accept connection with orphans took as replace my love. I have MashAllah 3 other children. Your speech express my unspoken thoughts. May Allah give you blessings and family. Prayers for your son and brother.

[@AP-iq1sh]

Jannah is gaurenteed for a parent who has sabr after losing a child and there is no reckoning for children. On the plains of Arafat, many will wish they were born without eyes and ears, others will wish they never even existed. And there will be those who will wish their kids had died in order to show sabr an have a promised ticket to Jannah. May you be a model of sabr and an example to follow ameen.

[@iqrafkhan786]

May Allah SWT grant you , your son, your brother and those who are close to you Jannatul firdaus.

[@mss4346]

Allah gave him this tragedy so that he helps our Ummah and he is doing it in such a humble way mashallah. may allah support our Ummah who is going through this with strengh and stronger beliefs

[@noreenbi9079]

What are u saying.? He is a good person that's why he is helping people. Lots of people lose loved 1s they never change or want 2 help any1

[@saramahamed7343]

Thank you so much. Only Allah knows the sorrow I went through and still going through since my mother died unexpectedly after I have been away from her for 5 years. May Allah have mercy on her and reunite me with her in Jannatul Firdaws. And May Allah give you unimaginable amount of ajar because you have have no idea how important your videos are to me. They give me the closure I have been yearning for. May Allah reunite you with your son and brother in Jannatul Firdaws. Ameen ya Rabb.

Subhaan Allah! Few are in a position to speak about this topic as much our beloved Sheikh given what he's been through! May Allah make it easy for him and for all of us who have lost our loved ones.

[@ellieplays590]

I lost my father 😢 to covid19. It's so messed up. You don't get to say goodbye nor see and kiss them goodbye. It broke my heart to see him on zoom and not be able to be by his side 💔 2 yrs on and it still feels like a bad dream and feels like yesterday.

[@masnatful]

This lecture SubhanAllah gave so much comfort t9 my heart. I cried, cried on the verses of Quran where Allah consoles us. And the ahadeeth. My hubsand passed away just 3 months before 2023 with cancer. Never, i have ever felt so much relieved with anything after listening to this talk. 😊 My 15 year old daughter also listened with me. بارك الله فيكم جميعا

[@AS-gr5hi]

SubhanuAllah I have a friend who’s family relative passed away today, and this video was uploaded a day ago. This is exactly what I needed Allahu Akbar thank you brother ❤️🤲🏼

[@user-oc7vm5tr8y]

Sir, Alhamdulillah. Excellent lecture/tazkirah. Not everyone has the level of faith that can tame themselves in accepting things that are against their will and can make themselves believe in the wisdom of what has been decreed by Allah SWT. Acceptance is a way that leads us to discover the true wisdom behind the layers of difficulties within a hardship. Today, ... your grief has touch me and everyone in this beautiful v/log. May the departed soul ( your son, brother ), soul rest in peace in Jannah. A nice shared. Jazak Allahu khayran. Aameen.

[@farinaiqbal9368]

may Allah makes me and you together in Jannah

[@aslimtaslam1000]

Like the book of sister Asma Hussein helped a lot of people. I think that Sheikh Belal should also write a book about his story. I'm sure it could be beneficial for many people.

[@mie4204]

I admire your courage, ability to smile and live so fully despite the pain you feel. May Allah continue to honour you and your family in this world and the next, ameen. This was so beneficial, jazakAllahu khayran

[@FGHIslam]

Thank you for being realistic, Sheikh Belal Assaad.

[@abdulrahman59232]

29:00 I used to enjoy music and it still does influence me if I happen to hear it, the biggest problem with it is that it interrupts your prayer it will keep on going in loops during your prayer hence Allah helped me not justify my sin of listening to music in sha Allah I'll eradicate it from my mind

[@ceniaramirez408]

This lecture came at the right time 2 weeks ago . Because exactly 2 weeks ago my husband died in a car crash😢.

[@africareigns]

May Allah grant him paradise. Ameen 🤲🏾

[@mishqahadams6749]

Subhanallah! Such a beautiful lecture. My dad passed away two weeks ago and every word is relatable. May Allah (swt) continue to guide and bless you and us and grant all marhoom the highest abode in Jannah. Ameen Ya Rabbal Alameen

[@fayeh1979]

Also, I do not wish to complain and am not complaining. Although, I've gone through multiple losses year after year in my early 20s and left me with shock, memory loss temporarily, physical weakness, nightmares, emotional pain and emotional numbness. In all of my 20s, I've dealt with health problems and emotional psychological problems that turned into physical experiences due to many losses. Any loud sounds always startled me which would cause my body to flinch even in my sleep. I've become so vulnerable that I've always called out to Allah and became very dependent on His Names. I would cry if I didn't hear God's Beautiful Names or recite it myself. Just recently in the last 6 years ago, I've lost someone very dear to me and who was related to me. After all I went through and the way I lost my relative, I still occasionally feel reminded of him and there are days where my beloved relative has a hold of my heart. I would have tears in my eyes. My heart feels a deep longing and a strong desire of wanting or in order to be with my beloved again some day. My heart won't let me to feel my emotions again. Despite all this pain, the only one that can move my heart to feel something and the only one to move me to tears is my Lord Ar-Rahman. He made me feel things I never felt that were all about Him and He made me love Him more and feel Him all the time. God made me to react to Him in a positive way and to live in my heart always. He made me feel His understanding, His kindness, His closeness, His love, His beauty and the beauty in His beautiful names, His beautiful attributes. And finally, I felt bonded to God all the time after that. All because I was in intense pain that no one else could understand with me and then I've begun to share my heart and my thoughts to God. I've also thanked Him for the pain I am in because He lead my heart to Him and made me to feel Him alone, to react to Him alone and the beloved Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, respectively. When it comes to God and how one feels about God when God Almighty makes you to feel Him, there is always a majestic, unexplainable, strong sense of Him is what I felt and my heart was constantly thinking about Allah. My pain served me well as it is still continuing to do so. It appears to me that God only wants that I continue to pursue Him alone because I haven't felt my heart beat, cause my heart to react or even feel my own emotions for years to something else. My heart somehow feels locked and it will only feel and cry to God alone and His habibullah, peace and blessings be upon him. I only ask that God provides my heart comfort, relief and a more deeper bond with Him because when you feel bonded to Allah Almighty, you feel happy even when your physical heart is in emotional pain that's beyond your control.

[@FGHIslam]

Listening to Quranic recitation instead of music is the best

[@wassimhaffar25]

Baraka Allah feek Shiekh. Thank you for this. I’ve lost both my younger brothers, Allah yerhamon, and have mercy on their souls! Certainly my youngest brother was killed over a year ago and it’s devastating, the hardest is having to see my parents go through the grief and loss of losing both children, it’s heartbreaking for them, and for me to see them go through such a calamity, may Allah have mercy on my parents and soften their hearts and increase their Iman. Will always try to go forward Insha’Allah but it’s hard some days.

[@africareigns]

May Allah SWT reunite you all in Jannah Al Fardus. Ameen. 🤲🏾 I lost my youngest brother suddenly in May '23. It happened in front of me. My heart is breaking, but I remain strong in believing that it was his time and Allah SWT is the best of planners. My parents amd remaining brothers are very strong in their imaan.

Masha Allah, it is always good to hear from Brother Belal - in this talk he could relate to those who have lost a loved one by sharing his own painful experience of losing his own son and brother in a tragic accident. It is really consoling. Jazakallahu khairan.

I am a Muslim. I have faith. However, I cannot find guidance regarding pets. I lost my best friend, who was not human. My grief for him is more intense than any other grief I have ever felt. I am devastated, and all I want is to be with him in the afterlife. Except if hell is my destiny. I just want him to be in a good place. I am broken. Alhamdulillah. He is Great. I trust in Him. The pain and missing is so intense.

I accepted automatically it was in his qadr. I miss him so much. He was the closest to me, and I to him. This evening my grief felt palable and neverending. Watching this has calmed me down. My suffering is nothing compared to others. May Allah SWT grant us a deeper understanding of our deen, and increase our imaan. Ameen. 🤲🏾

When I was young I always asked why he didn't take me with him. I know Allah has plans for me and that is why I am still here and Allah is always with me. I pray to Allah for my father's forgiveness. Thank you for your words. You're one of my favourite people and I somehow feel close to you even though I have never met you. You have helped me in many things through your lectures.May Allah always keep you and your family in his blessings.

Is this pain will gone or how long this pain will i suffer? I seek someone who will help me to overcome this pain, that how can i even survive in this dunya without my child, she is my only one child but still took away from me. 😢 I know surely, that we all belong to Allah and to him we shall all return however, as a mother it really hurts to feel this pain you always missed those moments when your child is with you, those words, those nights she had in your arms, those days that would never be repeated again,💔😢 May Allah swt help me and enlighten me. He may also grant my daughter jannatul ferdaus. Jazakallahu khairan for the words that help me at this point of my life. May Allah swt bless us All with sabr and Eeman. ameen❤
