Overcoming Desires and Difficulties | A Qur'anic View - Dr. Omar Suleiman

How do we conquer our desires before they conquer us? As we take the straight path, the Shaytan will certainly seek to divert us. Knowing how to stay disciplined is essential to not losing our way.

So what you want us to do we need food and water to survive and when you can get food and water it’s a horrible feeling and we will be corruption to steal food and water and patience won’t do good in life. I m single in my 40s I had 3 halal women all religious and they came in my life but the proposals could’ve worked very easily when I asked them all came in my life different time 20s and 30s all said no because there not open at all specially women in back home I was in the same page with all over them but they expect to you to say let’s get married right away that’s what they expect from you me coming from western world where everything In a relationship has to be step by step but they’re from another world with a very high different mentality. And end the end I have to suffer. And I noticed halal marriages doors 🚪 shuts in my face 3 times when I seeked them I can’t even taste pure halal good things that I want and guess what, now I don’t want halal or what Islam wants us to marry halal way well I did the halal way 3 times when I’ve went over the limits 3 times heartbreak 💔 horrible negative feeling and lifeless so I have every reason which is beyond impossible for me to go the halal path it’s not my fault if my heart doesn’t have faith life is not a game we are humans and we have feeings. So the wrong path life will naturally go in the path holding to faith is too painful

Allahuma Ameen Allahuma Ameen Allahuma Ameen ya Rabb AL Alemin!!! Jazak Allah khair!!! Barak'Allahu feek!!! Subhan'Allah, so great as always!!! Indeed, preparation for the first strike is a Success with Allah SWT!!! May Allah SWT give us steadfastness in obeying him ya Rabb AL Alemin!!! What's the most scariest thing for is that, thinking the day that Allah SWT will speak to us one-to-one and ask us "Do you remember the day that you did this and that?" Ya Rahman forgive us and give us steadfastness ya Rabb AL Alemin!!! "And some of them draw near to others, questioning, saying: ‘Aforetime, we were afraid with out families (of the punishment of Allah). But Allah has been gracious to us, and has saved us from the torment of the Fire. Verily, we used to invoke Him (Alone) before. Verily, He is the Most Kind, the Most Merciful."

thank you so much sheikh omar for such a wonderful speech God bless you l have been thinking about your lecture and l have a suggestion for myself and my brothers and sisters for the first moment of pleasures of the dunya we can see these blessings as things that can take we far from Allah and so they can be as trials and tribulations l suggest that we can say انا لله و انا الحمد لله الیه راجعون in the first moment of pleasures to remind ourselves that if we don't have patience in this blessing it can be as dangerous as a trial can be and so immediately return to Allah

So hold on to your desires what you want passion love the quality of life so Islam doesn’t want you to enjoy the real real quality of love and life according to your desires and if you control them you will definitely hate life and become sad and unhappy and lifeless and life will not be worthy of living, and if you get what you want according to your desires it will cost your hereafter Islam is a religion to me that doesn’t care if it cost you the hereafter it’s all about Islam way Islam way even tho I’m a Muslim

Does your faith require you to speak in Arabic?

[@waleedalkaraki7293]

No it does not, the quran is written in arabic but you don't need to know arabic to be a Muslim. In order to pray in islam, you do have to speak certain things in arabic though.

[@Roberto-Antonio]

@@waleedalkaraki7293 Im trying to get a better understanding. Why does prayer require certain words to be spoken in Arabic, can't these specific words be translated?

[@waleedalkaraki7293]

@Roberto Antonio Thank you for asking brother. Muslims take pride in the fact that pur religious book (quran) has not been changed in the slightest since it came down over 1400 years ago. The same words that were given to our prophet 1400 years ago is still the same today. When the book is translated in different languages, many of the words lose their meaning and it can be translated differently. We like to keep the same meaning of the book and that's why it stays in arabic. We also want to keep it universal and uniform all over the world. When you go to a Chicago mosque, it will be the same prayer in China, Korea, Australia, etc.. the quran and the prayer will remain the same. It's the word of God and that's how Allah wanted us to pray. Hope I answered it for you brother

[@Roberto-Antonio]

@@waleedalkaraki7293 thank you my Brother for providing clarity to my question.

[@waleedalkaraki7293]
