The Art of Finding Closure | Khutbah by Dr. Omar Suleiman

We often run away from trauma and difficult conversations thinking life gets easier, but in reality things only fester and get worse. The Prophet ﷺ taught us how to seek and find closure whether in relation to a conflict or a tragedy so that we can move closer to Allah and His pleasure.

Wallahi, EVERYTIME I listen to your khutbahs, I weep, because it's as if it is directed to me. Djazaka Allahu Khayr...la ilaha illa Allah.

[@SAMIRA0209]

Same ❤ Sheikh Omar Suleiman's is my hero, may Allah reward him for this...

[@malikaeastonAllahfirstanfamily]

Thank you, heartfelt but beneficial ❤😊

[@fatini]

I also felt that way! And that is coming from an Iman who is in our times. I can’t imagine how much more amazing Rasulullah SAW is, because his hadiths are heartfelt until today beyond generations SubhanAllah.

[@aliyazahra8951]

Subhanallah.. Alhamdulillah.. I I never thought of confronting my problems... Subhanallah.. I kept avoiding it.. but Alhamdulillah because of this khutbah.. my iman is back. Note that life is a journey that increases and lowers your iman.. oh yaallah forgive me and all of us, and have mercy on us all, and protect us from this life and the next

[@sherene67]

Me too

[@zakuss]

Subhanallah, I was actually on a video call with my wife when my KZbin began to play this randomly on my TV. There has been tension between us for the last couple of days. Suddenly, when it reached the part where it says "confront issues," I paused talking, and I was watching. I could see my wife was also listening. Suddenly, I could feel that the tension had decreased a lot because of what we heard.

And the middle door to Jannah is your Dad! Sorry, had to add that. My Dad always feels bad when people forget to mention the fathers! Jazak Allahu Khayran.

My mother is very abusive so I guess we’re both hoping for Jannah through our better parent! 🙂 May Allah help all of us in this situation to fulfill both of our parents’ rights with ihsan, guide our abusive parents, forgive us and them, reward and have mercy on our parents for all of the good they have given us, and make us good parents to our own children and be a comfort and mercy to our children instead of a source of trial and suffering to them.

You will never find true closure until you change that grievance to your love for Allah. It's been 7 months and I feel like sometimes I have not even found closure yet, but Allah sees your pain and stuggles and every prayer and dua you make does not go unnoticed. Even if it is a toxic divorce, you feel like you would find closure if you have that one more interaction with your ex spouse, but you will never find closure like that, that is the Shaytan trying to trick you. Instead you lay down a prayer mat and talk to Allah, cry if you have to, because the mindset of closure should be that everything in this dunya is temporary, nothing lasts. Put your trust in Allah and move on with your life.

[@mishaliftikhar3151]

Going through the same after my separation.. been 7 months now. Still i feel like maybe it could have been fixed.. do remember me in your prayers

[@herbertjohn2774]

Jzk for the advice. Can i also advise two things, try and do as much istighfaar as possible (simple search of youtube will explain why), and whatever you d9, make sure to stay away from sins.

[@Styrophoamicus]

Learning about qadr really helped ease many of my anxieties

[@bellak3116]

😢😢😢I’m not Muslim and I don’t know what is really happening in Gaza but my prayers for your brethren. Children of Allah. Brethren of Israel.

[@sahersultana5370]

I know your intentions are not bad but we are the creation of God (Allah), we are His servants, not children.

[@julibrown6984]

Yes please understand the correction it’s not illegal intended we are servants of our Maker.

[@hra2290]

Thank you for your kind words. As Muslims we believe everyone is born Muslim. Your kindness and compassion are signs of God’s beauty within you. May Allah swt protect you. If you ever get a chance, read the Quran in English. It’s beautiful and starts off with a prayer and then jumps right into the beliefs very clearly in the second chapter.

SHEIK OMAR SULEIMAN. A GIFT FROM ALLAH TO THIS UMMAH AND WORLD 🌎♥🙏❤💖💕🌎

[@TheStrivingmuslim]

Prophet s.a.w. said, Do not say the word "IF" because it opens... Certain doors: - procrastination - people and problems - door between you and Allah Don't say the word, "IF" because it opens the door to shaitaan. Shut that door to shaitaan. It destroys Tawheed. Have connection with Allah by opening the door to Allah. It gives us hope, problems goes away, resolved. Step up and remedy problems to find closure. Then say, I tried my best.

[@WhiteGeared]

Wdym? If it opens door to God why wouldn't we say it more?

Agreed and well said; however, in time of problems, one must reflect on your mistakes so you DONT repeat them. A woman who divorced her husband over her ego must think twice before she ruins another marriage. A problem in Gaza is because we can’t even manage our household due to the damn feminism, etc. Spoke the truth with great advice, but people must understand Dr. Suleiman’s context. Closure is by no means walking away from your responsibilities.
