Ep. 4: How Do You Cope With Uncertainty? | Attaching to Allah

We all know that God has promised to test us with loss. And so, our lives can be unpredictable - losing family members, possessions, and most of all: stability. Prophet Ibrahim’s (as) story of being a perpetual refugee gives us some beautiful insights on finding stability in Allah regardless of the unpredictability of life.
Tune in with Dr. Omar Suleiman, Ustadha Sarah Sultan and guests for episode 4 of Attaching to Allah. Make sure to download the full list of du'as here: yqn.io/u0j

This episode just broke me down :( As refugee from Afghanistan, it pains me to see us live in foreign lands while everything is taking place in Afghanistan right now. The older I get, the more discomfort I feel living in this strange and foreign land and the more I crave to a HOME knowing I wont ever find that home in this Dunya. The only conclusion is that home is insha Allah in Jannah, may Allah subhanahuwata'ala make us enter it, ameen! It is no coincidence that the best of mankind (peace be upon him) lost his parents, was an orphan, lost family, lost his children, was a refugee, etc. etc. It gives us the opportunity to connect with him in a personal manner.

I can feel you to some extent but Not entirely, my fellow in Faith. May Allah SWT grant you peace and contentment. Ameen

SubhanAllah, may Allah make it easy for you and your family. May Allah always keep you connected to His messenger and His deen.

[@rakhshandahameed6962]

I’m a huge fan of brother Omar Suleiman for the way he talks and coveys his message but can we just appreciate how sister Sarah intellectually delivers the message using credible authentic references to Quran and Hadith and then drawing upon daily life relatable experiences as well. Mashallah mashallah It’s mind blowing. May Allah bless her with more wisdom. Amen.

“if you’re looking for certainty, you are on the wrong planet.” -Pema Chodron. Nothing here is meant to be certain, therefore we trust Allah swt. Do our best (tie the camel), then “let go, and let Allah.” I don’t know if I’ve ever been home sick for Jannah, but I know there are times where I definitely feel like I’ve had enough of being here in the Dunya, and have felt like if today were my last day, I’d be okay with it, astaghfirallah. These decisions are for Allah alone, we need to have sabr and endure. There are times when I don’t get something I want, and I say, “well, maybe in Jannah, InshaAllah…” so, there are always methods by which we can detach ourselves from dunya and attach more to the akhira. May Allah swt forgive us and grant us all Jannah, and spare us any time in hellfire, Ameen.

It's asar were iam, am about to go and pray but your comment comforted me there is no uncertainty here indeed i was breaking down mints ago sying " idon't care anymore and idon't have enough sabr let it be wht ever is going to happen next i don't care the one above hears me and if he wrote down in my book tht i would live like this my entire life ican't say nothing but سمعا وطاعة if not here we will get it in jannah " thanks god bless u stranger

I remember just one of the ordinary nights of Qiyam when I was praying for the same thing again and again in solid hope that Allah will grant me relief, when my knees tired and my hands started shaking and my temperature started to rise from exertion I just dropped in sujood and I remembered just crying to Allah that 'I miss you' and that I miss being around you. I think I have never felt more home sick than I ever did in my life. That feeling and emotion was so strong, until I could stand again.

[@yaqeeninstituteofficial]

SubhanAllah, jazakAllahKhair for sharing. Since you mentioned qiyaam, and the power you felt that night, you may benefit from another series: Tahajjud: Waking Soul and Society with Dr. Tamara Gray right here on the Yaqeen Channel.

[@teffygr5947]

Alhamdulillah, deep down inside I always knew and felt like I did not belong any-particular-where ... but my heart, ever since returning to Allah and getting to know His last Nabi s.a.w., has longed for Madinah and yearns to be burried *there* among those whom Allah honored in this dunya and will honor in the akhira. How special and unique is the fact that our dearest Prophet s.a.w. will intercede on That Day for every soul that dies in Madinah... Subhanallah ♡ May Allah make us all from the Sabiqun - amin Rabbi Alameen

[@jamieh9100]

I feel homesick for jannah, today. I feel this very, very strongly, right now. SubhannAllah, this world can be so tiring. And an unstable life is extra exhausting. I pray that Allah strengthens all of us and grants us jennah Al-firdaus, Ameen.

I felt like this video was made 4 me.. I moved to a new country about 4 years ago & left my home country.. when I first came to the country, I faced a lot of back lash from people who were not willing to accept me.. they hated me being there & just wanted me to go back.. to be completely honest , I had no plan no job no nothing when I came to the new country.. I literally moved because I went through a divorce in the former country and wanted an escape.. but Alhamdulilah I can tell you with my hand on my heart, Allah swt had my back right from the get go.. he gave me a decent job, he gave me acceptance and he even gave me stability in the most uncertain of situations that I faced during my time as an migrant.. I literally came back from vacation yesterday and went to my home country.. the sadness I feel is really and it’s true .. home is home .. although the new country I live in is much nicer, you just can’t forget home.. I am so thankful to Allah swt who got me through sooo much and without his help, I wouldn’t be where I am today.. I would say from my experience the Hadith of prophet Muhammad pbuh is absolutely true.. the matters of the believers are strange everything is good for them.. Remember everything happens for the best.. Trust Allah swt, and Alhamdulilah all the way everyday !

The celebrated story of Hajra is the remembrance of her actions facing unpredictability… not of sitting and waiting for the zam zam to erupt, but running between two hills to find what Allah SWT had decreed for her, not the belief which was blind, but the belief which was faithful… the stroke of Musa was needed to part the sea, … Unpredictability can be dealt by making an action in “Good Faith”… with “Trust in Allah”… and belief that “It is ALL GOOD”… Thanks for this series… Jazakallah Khair !

[@ayeeshasiddiqa1668]

Yes of course, I feel homesick of Jannah. If I see a nice big house, I think " How would the houses in Jannah be? ". If I taste a nice food, immediately I think " If this wordly food is this much nice, how would be the food of Jannah? ". And more than that, I miss my creator.

[@ladyalveena]

Having lost my beloved mum last year, I am stuck between so desperately wanting to be reunited with her Insha'Allah in jannah, and then torn between needing to bring up my children who are dependent on me. I long for the tranquility of no stress, of peace and I don't feel home in this duniyah no matter how comfortable I make the property and adorn it with beautiful things it is all not enough. May Allah swt be pleased with me before calling me home. Ameen.

[@KamranAslamMD]

I was blessed with growing up humbly, but within the Haramain, that blessing has led me to see the farthest reaches of this world, tallest mountains, deepest caves, both poles, much in between, untold beauty of الله creation, and so on, while in the service of humanity. I can affirm I miss two things, the Haram(s) & what awaits us one day after resting underneath the tree of this life. Ameen.

[@nisreenayyach7904]

I never felt homesick ,but in the back Of my mind I always thought that I will be in a better place with Allah. I know with certainty that Allah will choose the best for me when my time is over here in this life. Interesting thing I would like to share, when I was a teenager, I always prayed to Allah to grant me a place next to him not in heaven. Always thought I don’t belong here but I belonged next to him and no where else. Now that I learned more I know that’s foolish of me. May Allah grant me and my family highest Heaven. May Allah grant all the believers highest heaven and forgive all of our sins.

Allah u Akbar. My homesickness that exceeds this world is sinking inside my bones. The thought of me in a quite grave with Allah is like a wave in my heart which is in the depths of fire. With every passing second, every attachment to this World is burning. I need none ya rab. Am breaking ya rab. Call me back. Call me back. Allah u Akbar.

"Homesick for Jannah".....😍 Deep

[@deimanabdi4877]

Alhamdullilah whenever I’m faced with difficulties I always say to myself that this is Dunia is not my home and always prolong for jannah. May Allah bless us with jannah

[@ainifai]

Subhanallah, ustadza Sarah mentioned about accepting that life is unpredictable as the first step in dealing with unpredictability is spot on. I had similar episode but not necessarily in view of feeling homesick, but i remember in that moment where i broke down and naudzubillah start blaming things.. i recovered from that helplessness by accepting that it's all part of qada & qadar - believing that regardless how much effort i put in to avoid the situation, if Allah wants it to happen, it'll happen and i shall accept it. subhanallah, i can't explain the sense of calmness i gained after that.. it was as if a whole load of burden was lifted from my shoulders.

[@AmiraAmira-up1kr]

Salam, Here's some tips to deal with anxiety, may the All mighty alleviate your sufferings and bring peace into your heart: Dua when in distress: “The Messenger of Allah (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) said to me: ‘Shall I not teach you some words which you can say at times of distress? الله الله ربي لا اشرك به شيئا Allah, Allah is my lord, I do not associate anything with Him (Allahu allahu rabee la ushreeku beehee sheya) Reading/listening to Qur'an Spending time in nature, being mindful of the sounds (the wind, the birds...), the heat of the sun, the sounds of you walking. Pondering Allah's creation Focus on your breath and breathing mindfully: inspire through the nose and expiring through the mouth.. Prayer Journaling can also be helpful, putting words on your feelings, Talking to Allah the all mighty about your anxiety, your affairs, just talking to Him Remember Tawakul is a powerful tool to get rid of anxiety Sometimes anxiety may come as a result of trauma (see post traumatic stress ), There are many resources on yaqeen about trauma and its impact, there's a whole series in videos but also on the website. It could be useful.

[@zahraahmed3601]

Subhan Allah there have been many times when I have felt homesick for Jannah, especially now in my older age. When I see certain things in the news, when I'm around loved ones who are not changing their views and perspectives on life and continue to hurt people with their beliefs, and when so much of the perceived certainty that it seemed we used to have is threatened on a daily basis, I long for Jannah as if it is a place that I have already been to.

[@mahrukhakhtar9989]

Being homesick for Jannah, where even a den or a cave or a shelter of trees would be better than all this present world could ever offer. Being homesick for Jannah tul Firdaus should be our default. May Allah SWT Al-Wali join us all with the righteous. May we be Allowed to return with distinctions. Ameen.

[@mariyamleeza7224]

Looking at everything around in this Dunya makes me home sick for Jannah. I see beautiful ponds and then it reminds me of the gardens and homes promised by Allah SWT for us in Jannah. This Dunya is nothing but a shell to something far beyond our imaginations can comprehend even. It makes me want to be in Jannah. And I'm home sick to be in Jannah so that I can be reunited with my loved ones. Everyday, as my faith increases I am getting detached from the materialistic offerings of this Dunya.

SA. Definitely long for Jannah. I look forward to a time of having peace of mind and feeling certain that I am safe, protected, loved and close to Allah SWT. This life is full of one challenge after another so just looking forward to not having to race against the clock, being so busy, so tired, constantly making decisions, dealing with so many heavy emotions as we navigate life. Just looking forward to peace I’A.

[@umarhabib4197]

Ya that’s makes sense. We weren’t made for this world. Because you could have every dunya type of worldly possession and still feel suicidal. The only cure is the remembrance of Allah and eternal paradise(Jannah)

[@muhammadaliffarhan1825]

Thank u so much yaqeen. Last week i climbed a mountain in Bogor, Indonesia. You know the lrocess that we going through, the power, the time, the emotion in the progress, that's hard. But, when you reach the summit and another beautiful place, all of those hardships is getting paid. And I think about jannah. I'm really sure that everything that we faced in this life is going to get paid one day, with a more beautiful price. And when i reach the summit, I really remember that feeling that I also want this in the hereafter, I want to get the highest Firdaus, being the neighbour of Allah and His Prophet s.a.w. I don't wanna stop in a place that is not on the summit, no matter how beautiful it is. Because you feel this beautiful emotion when you reach summit, and also the panorama that only can appear in the summit. May Allah grants us with his please, firdausal'ala, be His and His messenger's neighbor, and see His face every time in paradise. Aamiin

Everytime i face outright injustice, everytime i things become out of control i intensely feel "jannah homesick". Sometimes i even imagine if only the trumpet will be blown soon.
