low iman

The Hippiearab Podcast --- S1 E28
low iman is something every Muslim has tasted, or will at some point in their life. What does it feel like and where does it come from? In this episode, I explore the emotion and experience behind the concept of low iman, and how it ties back to a lack of understanding of an essential pillar of Islamic knowledge... who Allah even is.

Farah writes : She got rejected But then she blossomed Not because of her rejection but what she chose to make out of it . She got rejected multiple times actually not once, not twice, MULTIPLE times ! Each time she imagined the things she had in mind would change her life, her whole world . But none of them happened and here she is So grown .. So changed.. You don’t even recogniz her! But you ask how ? She stayed in the same place this whole time. Didn’t she ? A plant can grow to whatever extents. It spreads its roots first and then starts to slowly and unassumingly branch out . It branches out so far and wide each part if if seeming to be in a different place . It’s still in the same place isn’t it ? It laid its roots, Set its foundations, Every..single..day. The inside work starts to reflect the outside Just like the roots start to reflect the branches Weak roots make for poor trees How are you spreading your roots and laying your foundations doing things that seem invisible But will only ever be seen with time! What did you make out of the rejections ? And how long did it take you to realize it was God’s protection !

[@yan_afrukh]

The thing you said about fight or flight really touched me. The major issue I faced when it comes to my iman is shame, shame over my actions (that I took or did not take) in front of Allah, and it kinda burns me out to always think that I'm not ready at any time to meet Allah in my current state. Allah is always with us weither we remember that fact or not at the moment, what makes me accept myself as is, is knowing that Allah is forgiving and compassionate, how can I not forgive myself if Allah does. This year, I'm having quite a special and unconventional "academic experience", and during that, I came to accept myself and love myself just as Allah subhanah loves me, all of the shame and critic and hardness I give to myself is so loud, it blinds me from Allah's signs. So yeah, a good middle ground is an answer, I need to keep myself on the line, but that shouldn't get over the line I'm trying to walk, I also need to love myself like Allah does and will always do, that acceptance is a first good step at actually making change in my life and having a stronger bond with Allah sbuhanah. بارك الله فيك أختي الكريمة :)

Thank you for posting this video, Allahumma Barik, and Alhamdullilah.

[@ritsu7337]

Just to let you know that,as a boy, your content is unequalled. You're very friendly and relatable, it helps a lot especially islamically since the other references are generally imams which are hard to relate to and it kind of feels like we're having a generational hard time to understand each other (not all but a good amount of them). Jazaak Allah khaïr.

[@depressedshwarma7999]

I honestly am so utterly grateful for this episode. I hit one of my lowest today and i have been feeling that for a while as if i am tired, don't know what, but i just am. And then i randomly decided to listen to your episode because i suddenly remembered you uploaded one after a long time and honestly i cried & laughed so much that my family got worried. Allah is magnificent, He knows all and He is the most wise ❤ JazakAllahu khairun farah

[@Nooruhhhhh]

Farah, thank you. I was in a rut, and to call it a rut is an understatement. Everything you said explained what I’ve been feeling so specifically and clearly that I cried most of this video. I so desperately needed that feeling of high Iman, and feeling like I know allah that I was doing acts of worship without really thinking of it. It’ll take too long to put into detail but I just wanted to say I genuinely appreciate you. It feels like Allah Ta’la is speaking to me through this video because he knew how desperately I’ve been fighting for that feeling again. May allah grant you happiness, knowledge, and health♥️

[@jkenmi]

This came in the perfect time , i am going to fold laundry and i couldn’t find something to listen to , happy to see you after a long time ❤❤ and i am sure i will like the video as the title is what i am struggling with currently .

[@atalyadeleon8636]

thank you for sharing Farah, I'm in the low iman phase too, and one thing that actually slipped me off was I rarely journaled my life like I used to do. But Alhamdulillah by Allah helped too, putting my life back together with journaling helped me a lot. I used to write duas and gratitude lists in there, also it helps me connect to Allah and cultivate self-awareness & self-compassion ❤

[@NoorAlyaqeen-zu2us]

Thank you Farah for making this video. I am experiencing exactly the same thing & somehow your video showed up exactly when I needed it the most 🥺 MashaAllah! I think Allah wants us to take action from all the knowledge we had gained all these years. Now it's actually the time to act. Not just talk and preach anymore. Like you said in this video; Act with Ihsan. That is highest level of Islam, Iman & Ihsan. Do any of our actions & good deeds whole-heartedly & sincerely out of love to Allah. May Allah continue to guide us & make us amongst the solihiin ❤

i've been going thru low imaan rn and Farahs videos always remind me that it will be ok and that if i feel low its alright and that i hv to get back on my feet and save myself from my own thoughts. I hv severe depressive episodes for long periods of time but because of Farah im always reminded that Allah is on my side and that everything will be ok as long as i find my way back to Allah.
