Thank you for this video. As always when I listen to your words many questions are answered. I am very grateful to you and to God for his direction.

Thank you for the reminder brother Ihsan 🙏

Salam Ishan , thank you for this video and all your content , I believe you are planting seeds in people’s souls every time you speak mashallah. Ishan I have a question that is off topic but it has been playing on my mind so I thought I’d seize the moment and ask. In hind sight I can see I’ve been on the awaking journey for almost six years . The first four years I was introduced to similar concepts through yoga but always felt soothing was missing coming from an Islamic faith. Then alhumdallah I came across your content and it resonated so much with me. I felt like you had tied everything thing together alhumdallah. It was still a slow process of progressive change , then in about the last year things really accelerated once I committed to enrolling in your Islamic meditation course. Since that time it’s hard to place things in words but I can feel changes within. That course opened the flood gate to me seeking true knowledge that will increase my closeness to Allah and increase my love for the prophet peace and blessings be upon him. However the thing I struggle with is the fact that internally I feel different I see things different, sometimes I am brought to tears with emotion and gratitude towards Allah. However despite this it seems that I still struggle with the outer forms. For example I struggle with the Idea of wearing the hijab and I thought it was because I was lacking this true connection with Allan. But now I feel such a strong connection, yet still find myself struggling and unwilling to put it on. Also waking up for morning pray is also something I still struggle with. I thought that due to the increased connection I would find myself wanting to put the hijab on, or find it easy to wake up as I want to show gratitude as Alllah deserves so much more, yet I’m still struggling. Which in turn makes me feel very guilty ( ironically I no is not a serving attribute) and then question my growth and it’s authenticity. I also feel that I would be more harshly Judged by Allah because he has guided me to this wonderful point , I prayed for connection and now I feel it on such a deep level however I’m still failing to to things that should be so simple if all this is true in my heart. So sorry about the essay! It just that this has been troubling me, and I know my troubles come from the mind so I try to be in presence through meditation and try to just let things unfold but then you could say my mind kicks in and tells me I’m making excuses for myself…….gosh I sound like one very confused sister! Please if you have any advice on this it would be much appreciated.

Asalaamualaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatu Brother Ihsan. This is so timely for the world, and for me. I was diagnosed with lymphoma last month, started chemo this month. Good prognosis Alhamdulillah, but when I received the news, I just felt this peace descend over me, as if Allah was telling me that I would be okay, but I have to go through this trial. Alhamdulillah. I will go through it. “Do people think that they will be left alone just because they say: "We believe," and they will not be tested?” 29:2 Your words, nur, and perspective are a bright spot to many. May Allah bless you and your loved ones with the best in this world and the akhira, Ameen.

Jazaka Allah Khair brother!

Alhumdulillah

Asalaamalaiykum brother, me again. Very eloquently, smoothly, deliberately, executed. Somebody has been deep thinking/reflecting/taking it all in, processing it. MashaAllah. And all ready to share and care. As much as such understandings come to me, I couldn't have put it out there in the flawless manner you just did. MashaAllah again. And unapologetically and unbashfully. Alhamdulillah. Salaams and duahs to and from plz. JazakAllah khairun

Hello and thank you for this video. I come from a Buddhist background but much of what you have said resonates with me. I'm curious what you think if someone is completely surrendered to the will of God, is violence or killing of any sort possible/allowable? Different traditions have different stances on this, but from my tradition intentional killing even of a single insect is not allowable. But in Buddhism this more has to do with having clear mental states, and not producing more karma through the mental states experienced in killing, rather than the judgement of a God saying it's okay or not okay to kill. I'm just curious what your view on this is, when one is in complete harmony and surrender to the will of God could they possibly still be violent and still intentionally kill other living beings? Thanks again for the content, very clear and inspiring words. Be well!

Aslaam'o'Alaikum brother Ihsan, Thank you so much for such a beautiful video. It was quite uplifting and it helped me to see things from a different perspective. I sent an email to your website form page a few days ago but I did not hear from you and then I sent one again today so I was hoping if you would be kind enough to get back to me soon regarding my query. Thank you!

Salam Brother Ihsan, I hope you're well, and in good health, I have a qüestion to ask you; Are you familiar with the tópic of self-esteem or self-love? And do you think that meditation can help us if we have an issue of low self-esteem? I mean if we have limiting beliefs about ourselves, or lack confidence in our daily lives to meet or achieve our goals in life, because I personally struggle with this in life, and when I want to do something or achieve a goal, I always doubt myself and my capabilities to achieve that, and I have thoughts that come to muy mind that tell me that I'm not good enough, or I lack experience, or I'm an introvert, and thoughts like this that stop me of taking action, and the fear of failure, rejection. And I end up achieving nothing in life, as time passes, Can meditation helps us improve with this particular issue? Thank you.

We aren't allowed to believe in karma That is for the buddhists

Using the word "karma" is shirk.
