Why Is Everything Suddenly Falling Apart? | Why Me? EP. 20 | Dr. Omar Suleiman | A Ramadan Series

As Ramadan swiftly passes, let your rizq raise a voice for the ummah. Automate your donations for the last 10 nights: yqn.io/fday
Change is inevitable. We move through cycles of opposites: of happiness and sadness, of good and bad. But what does it mean when everything is suddenly falling apart? When you face a loss patiently, but are instead faced by regression in a domino effect, the chips of your life falling down rapidly, one after another. What do you do when it feels like even the blessings you were grasping on to are now rapidly being snatched away?
Why does it feel like Allah is taking away the little that was holding you together in the first place?

As we venture into the space of producing higher quality media, we’ve worked hard to make sure that our compliance with our religious ethics is not sacrificed. While Yaqeen has always produced vocals for our Ramadan series, this series was unique in that it also included the story of a family in the background. Our talented production team worked with our scholars to ensure that all actors were in proper hijab, and that all gender interactions were only by Mahrams in real life. We’re grateful to the team for its wonderful effort, and grateful to the families that agreed to participate.

Dr Suleiman. You were given the gift of touching hearts. It doesn't matter what religion, your teachings resonate so clearly. We have so much in common as a faith community of believers. I don't argue about religion. I just stand firm in faith. I know we are all on a journey. It isn't such a big world after all. We need each other. And every family has strengths and weaknesses. Including faith families. I'm so in pain over Gaza. I'm so elated to have found you, and learned about the beauty of the Muslim people. I just want to hug and kiss those suffering children. And embrace these beautiful young mothers. And such strong men. Praying while the armed military threaten them. It's appalling and God permits it. We know God is merciful. It's so difficult to see these martyrdoms. God bless you and your people...thank you for sharing these videos with us.

[@aqsanoran1443]

Listening to this while my life is at a standstill, the father of my children that provided everything but love and respect and I can’t hold on to this relationship anymore. I have been patient for 12 years. Do I leave, do I stay knowing he is not going to change.

[@greenhomestead6305]

@@aqsanoran1443 make a list of things you are grateful for in your life. Are your kids healthy and safe, do you have provisions and safety, then make dua everyday for patience and love in all your relationships. I lost my mother a few months ago, it makes other problems seem so minuscule. As mothers we need love, but we also need stability and safety for us and our kids.

[@aqsanoran1443]

@@greenhomestead6305 yes too many blessings, I will get over it in a few days like I always do. Kids stability and presence of father figure in their life is more important than my self respect. Plus looking at children losing parents every day in Palestine for the past 6 months has taught me one thing, our feelings and first world problems are nothing but a joke.

[@mohamedkabia4975]

Listening these 2024 Ramadan series makes me question whether there's any such thing as a coincidence. The word coincidence is simply not applicable in our lives as believers

[@christineplaton3048]

We are taught as Christians that there are no coincidences. It is a true test of very very great Faith and Hope going now on in Gaza. Many around the entire world are distressed and concerned. Praying. God allows this to bring us to prayer. The more we pray the better the hope. God Bless Palestine.

There is no coincidence in Islam. We believe in Tewafuq! ☺️

[@monsuurahraji9371]

Dear Dr. Omar Suleiman, Allaahumma Baarik! I've had this particular question on my mind since I lost my husband about 5 years ago. I lost my mum just last week, and everything came crashing. Then I developed a serious pain and tightness in my chest. I then asked, "How does one make it through the life of this world, knowing that trials come in unexpectedly, and in multitudes. Then I heard," You don't have to force yourself in to happiness, but submission " SubhaanaLLah! May Allaah accept your kind efforts as ibaadah, aameen.

[@BArsalan-zm5tn]

Dr omar, Jazak Allah Khair for touching sensitive topics. But I am waiting for an episode that talks about mental illness among believing Muslim . What is the blessing of the mentally ill person, when they have no family support? How are they to coup? How are they to obtain sustenance? Please advise.

[@ykhan2891]

A very important topic and one which is overlooked or not discussed, especially in Muslim cultures. Mental illness is a test from Allah (swt) and not a sign that you are lacking in faith, which is sadly what many Muslims seem to believe. It's all about knowledge and education and we need more Muslims working in the area of mental health to dispel incorrect beliefs around mental health illness.

[@hanifeozdemir2694]

They have a lot of information on yaqeen which is beneficial about mental health. Check their website

[@WoWMoM_3]

What an important topic that touches EVERY family. This would truly be a welcomed topic.

[@ykhan2891]

@@hanifeozdemir2694 the information on Yaqeen is excellent but we need much more in the day to day environments that Muslims move in - perhaps khutbas on topics connected with mental health, etc. What would Prophet Mohammed's (pbuh) approach been, what we can learn from the Sunnah around mental health in our everyday lives.

[@nidaihsan7245]

you should also look into Dr Rania Awaad’s lectures, they are greatly beneficial and highlight mental illness
