I was abused as a child. PTSD made me sick, along with a severe mood disorder. I was addicted to substances to manage the pain related to my mental health suffering. Allah brought me back. I was in the dark, lost, alone, misunderstood. Allah alone was there for me when I felt physical pain from a broken heart, mind, and body. Allah is my guiding light. When my mind starts swirling with scenarios related to my PTSD Allah is the one I focus on. I know that Allah is true even when the words in my head are confused. Allah has helped me so much. The love of Allah is my hearts aim. I pray you all find your way to Jannah in the best way. Thank you for hearing my story.

He’s live on Facebook every Friday khudba Masha’Allah

[@itzimani]

I need to believe in Allah and a hereafter because I need to believe and know that at the end of the day evil will be punished and good will be rewarded by the best and fairest of judges. There are so many people that die everyday that have been so evil but are praised in this world. I need to believe that their day of reckoning will come. This life is short but the hereafter is forever. The evil people will definitely sow what they have reaped. May Allah bless and have mercy on all the poor innocent souls and ease their suffering.

[@zeenathemraj8262]

So true

[@ajoddud9250]

I feel just like you. My faith is strengthened because I NEED to believe that all those who are suffering, all those born into pain, all those who have no where to turn but the horrors of their environment, that there is something better for them in the hereafter. This world cannot be the end for these people who have nothing. Otherwise what's the point? May Allah reward all those who suffer and are in pain with beautiful lives beyond their imagination, Ameen

It was Soo moving when he said at the end of khutbah: "Just to assure you..We are not going to collect fundraiser" That's was very powerful.. thats what we need we need to be Muslims stepping forward for ourselves not waiting for others to always tell us and babysit us for everything as if we are children.

"Man once said that i wanted to ask God why he allows oppression and evil and suffering and poverty in the world but i was afraid he might ask me the same question"

[@daliatalat5341]

@jaydee040 Human is the successor of God on the Earth, and God has commanded man not to corruption on earth. Therefore, what a person does in terms of murder, crime and corruption, God will ask him for it on the Day of Judgment , and we all know that. God said that on the Quran "من عمل صالحا فلنفسه ومن اساء فعليها وما ربك بظلام للعبيد" Whoever works righteousness benefits his own soul; whoever works evil, it is against his own soul: nor is thy Lord ever unjust (in the least) to His Servants.

[@daliatalat5341]

@jaydee040 The human mind is far too short to understand God's wisdom in all that is happening on the earth. It is up to you to believe in God or not, but you will know the truth on the day of judgment. May Allah guide you to the truth, amen

[@daliatalat5341]

@jaydee040 So, you see that a person was created in vain, let him destroy and do whatever he wants as long as he does not ask what he does? belive me you dont know anything,just live your life as you are and let us and our faith we are totally happy with it. may Allah guides you to the truth before it's too late.

[@daliatalat5341]

@jaydee040 Well, we will still love this religion and believe in it. Trust me. Your words will never affect our belief in anything. Even if you talk throughout your life about that, let your mind rest from all this and let us be with our religion. سبحانك اللهم وبحمدك اشهد ان لا اله الا انت استغفرك واتوب اليك.

And after 15 minutes they left saying do 'Dua' pray.. and we were waiting from a month passing everyday hardly.. me and my mother talk about that all the time.. and they just break our happiness in 20 minutes..

[@shazadashakir960]

Me too may be we have the exact same pain concentration camps and Palestine and sufferings of other Muslims around the globe.

[@livingrateful]

Well done Sheikh Omar, you have answered the question every non believer asks. If there’s a God why does he allow all the oppression & the suffering of innocent people? Yet it is humans who kill, oppress and cause suffering to fellow humans. We want the free will to do whatever we want on earth but we want to hold Allah responsible for our actions. It defies logic. The Quran says , There will be a day when eyes will stare in horror. 😱 That will be the day of reckoning when the evil people of earth will get their comeuppance . So God is not oblivious or ignoring the injustice of the evil doers. HE is watching and waiting for a day of which there’s no doubt. May Allah protect the ummah and make us not of the oppressors.

[@verdad5577]

Thank u...si much...

[@roseandmose]

They don't care because they are muslim. Some people are innocent of the crime but are caught up or framed. It's a sad situation of the entire globe. May ALLAH ease the oppression of mankind and stop these regimes. Ameen

[@SonnyAli1973]

In 2014, I suffered a terrible accident that left me paralyzed from the chest down. I questioned to Allah why he allowed this to happen to me. For two years, I lost all faith. I'm slowly regaining my faith but I struggle everyday being in a wheelchair. I still work to support my wife and kids but it's a serious difficulty for me. Some days I wish to die because of the pain I suffer daily. I want to ask Allah what I've done to deserve being a cripple. Why Allah, why???

[@MoMo-zl3jw]

Sonny Ali this is a test from Allah (swt) if you are patient and hope and yearn for His reward I swear you will see the fruits of that patience in this life and next salaam bro

[@valaititarka3318]

Sonny Ali we r ordinary people if we go through such hard time we start saying what sin did i do that YOU put me in such situation (may Allah forgive us)..imagine Ayoob aleihi salam went through very very hard time even if He aleihi salam was a Prophet .... be patient you will be rewarded InshaaAllah

What to do if i have done sometype of terrible damage by mistake unintentionally unknowingly out of youngness lack of knowledge and guidance out of stupidity but it happened accidentally and it is continuing to happen, the same damage to others around me who are innocent just because of me because i didn't expose the truth becauseof two reasons that if i did expose the truth i knew same or more than that the damage would happen to me and i didn't know that exposing truth would stop the damage from being repeated to someone else and i also didn't knew that hiding the truth was causing that damage to others who are innocent but now i want to expose the truth but still i don't know exposing the truth would stop it repeating but i know exposing it will cause me the damage now even when i want to and trying to i am unable to do expose it what should I do i feel soo terrible about myself am i a monster i want the damage to stop 23 innocent people have damaged due to that damage all i was trying to do was to stop the damage to myself and others i didn't wanted to harm others. But i don't know the person and reason he is causing the damage and there is no proof left of what actually happened and that person doing it and me causing it now i know i am next Target. its like you wanted to give antidote but you gave new poison to someone and yourself and that someone has died already and you are next but you cant tell anyone because they will cosider you killed someone and person who gave you and other the poison in first place is free and out of site and you hope allah to fix everything to you.

[@ayaelsergany4395]

It is a duaa before he starts the khutba. (Forgive me if this is bad translation :"D i hope it helps) Indeed praise be to Allah, and we ask of him his help, guidance and forgiveness, and we believe and trust in him, and we seek refuge in Allah from the evils in our souls an our bad deeds. Whoever Allah guides him cannot be lead astray, and who leads others astray there is no guidance for him. I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, alone he has no partner, praise and authority be to him. It is he who gives life and causes death, and he is alive who doesn't die. The good is in his hand and he is capable of everything. And I bear witness that Muhammad is his slave, messenger and khalil. He performed the trust, delivered the message, advised the ummah, and removed the cloud (of ignorance). Peace be upon him and his family and his companions and whoever follows his Sunnah till the day of judgment. O Allah make us from them, and from those who believe, do righteous deeds, enjoin on each other truth, and enjoin on each other patience. I advice you and myself to have piety (fear of Allah), Indeed we have been ordered to do right. Allah (SWT) says: - "O who believe, fear Allah as he should be feared and die not except while you are Muslims (you have surrendered your self to him)" -Surah Aal Imran, verse 102 -"O mankind, fear your lord, who created you from one soul and created from it its mate dispersed from both of them many men and women. And fear Allah, through whom you ask one another, and the wombs. Indeed Allah is ever, over you, an observer" -Surah Al Nisaa, verse 1 -"O you who believed, fear Allah and speak words of appropriate justice. He wil [then] amend for you your deeds and forgive you your sins. And whoever obeys Allah and his messenger has certainly attained a great attainment" -Surah Al Ahzab, verse 70-71
