Wait, what?! Ustadh should definitely release an album. He has such a beautiful voice!
❤❤❤
Where can I get Bilal asads full Quran recitation? Even some parts will do alhamdulillah
May Allah protect you always Sheik…
Shaykh I like that you don’t start with heavy music intro’s Barakallahfeekoum
Allahu barik sheikh assad
Sheikh can someone steal another person's blessings
Please brothers and sisters and dear brother sheikh Balal pray 🤲 for me and my son that we go through this donya in a test 😭 may Allah guide all young people in the right direction
When will this be uploaded to Spotify?
wallahi this is the struggle we have in our society nowadays 😢 Thank you for pointing it out Sheikh, good reminder for each of us
Vital Lies, Simple Truths: The Psychology of Self-Deception – Daniel Goleman
The author is using the expression “Self Deception” for this. Very interesting book, adressing the same subject. (If somebody wants to go deeper)
May Allah rewar you, this cognitive dissonance, is very disoreinting in todays world.
A good reminder of the struggle with cognitive dissonance. Living in the world means grappling with social pressures and norms while holding on to our faith and our sense of what's right. True freedom isn't going along with the crowd; it's having the strength not to cave in.
Every teenager and young adults must see this lecture. I can't make it understand to young people how termonologies are eating them from inside!
May Allah SWT bless you and proctect you Sheik Billal Asaad
I read the book when I was young. Will never forget it 👌
❤❤❤❤
It’s disappointing to see all non-hijabis categorized in the same simplistic way. If anything, the hijabis are more into fashion and makeup than non-hijabis.
None of the real counter-arguments were addressed such as Muslims in Asian countries not wearing a headscarf (like we know today) for centuries and this only started in the 70s/80s. Even the sheikh’s wives didn’t wear hijab in the 50s.
Also pre-911 most masjids in the West didn’t have partitions/curtains in the prayer rooms.
19:26 noone should say that this is a new ideology but we should say that it is the devil's and his followers’ loved idea that are having in our hearts and minds a sort of importance because we see or hear it a lot because of what this era has as test by the will of Our Lord. AllahuAkbar
Thank you
I've been struggling with hijab 27 years
Alhamdulillah, that was truly awesome.
Thank you, Sheikh; May Allah bless you and reward you immensely.
Ameen ❤❤❤❤
Assalamu alaikum sheikh, jazak allahu khair for all the lectures. I am not sure if you will read this, but it would be of great help if you could explain the following hadith in one of your future lectures:
The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) told `Adi bin Hatim: "If you should live for a long time, you will certainly see that a lady in a Howdah traveling from Al-Hira will (safely reach Mecca and) perform the Tawaf of the Ka'bah, fearing none but Allah." Thank you again, may Allah bless you, your loved ones and your team.
Subhanallah
Masha Allah sheikh,we've missed you,welcome back,hope u've been well.
Daily Dhikr Reminder 🌼♥️💚Bismillah
1. SubhanAllah 2. Alhamdulillah
3. La ilaha il Allah 4. Allahu Akbar
alhamdulillah <3

"If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it."
— The underlying strategy of mass-media repetition, control and false doctrines.
The Psychology Behind It:
In cognitive psychology, the tendency to believe information is true simply because it has been repeated is known as the illusory truth effect. Research shows that familiarity makes statements feel more believable over time, regardless of whether they are factual.

I found this really relatable to the lecture! May Allah (SWT) protect the ummah from the trials and tribulations of the Dajjal, and reward us for our efforts and forgive us for our sins. Ameen!
Jazaakalaah khayran for helping us reset and for reminding us of our purpose here in this Dunya.
May Allah reunite us all in Jannah.
Jazakllah khoir.
Very intelligent and in touch with the people of today, adressing all fitna without singling out what is convenient. May Allah s.w.t. reward you with Jannah.
Jazakh'Allah
