Aameen to all duas
Me too, I really need to ask him something, how is the way to communicate with the sheikh?
Does anyone know if we can call sheikh directly? i wanted to ask him something.
I dont know what to do with my teenage son.he is 15yrs old. goes to an islamic school. knows good islamic knowledge. in his free time he plays a game called roblox. but recently what happened was a teenage girl became his friend on roblox then this girl wanted to be friends with him on a chatting app called discord. he didn't understand why but this girl started asking him various questions and talking to him daily on discord, then she wanted to be added on snapchat, she was adamant so he added her as summer holiday started and he was bored to see what happens apparently. she kept talking on discord for a month till my older teen daughter realised he seems to chatting to someone we confronted the girl online and told her to get lost. she got scared even though she first said why does my daughter care about his business and who he talks to. we were both very angry. a harami girl starts talking and telling us what's our problem. it was very bad situation but she was eventually scared off and when my son realised he quickly told her" unfriend me block me on everything dont talk to me anymore."
I could see his messages and he was scared. I then took all his devices away. a phone, tablet and laptop. he has realised he done something very bad. Now I need more help from sheikhs videos on how to move forward to help my son and show him what he did wrong and how he shouldnt have ever friended a female at all. she was 14yrs and talking about dating and showing him marriage videos. he thought she was crazy from his messages previously. Please pray for my sons guidance dear sheikh. How do i reprimand him? do i give back any of his devices back? he was on them daily all day and having a bad temper while saying he was bored all day. even after school. Does it mean i should have a better timetable and also ban him from playing that roblox game because he is clearly addicted to the game. And what do i say about the girl he was talking to? i already told him its haram for him to be talking to a non mahram girl. why did he do it. he told me i wont do it ever again. Do i trust him? my husband thinks if his device is given back he might end up chatting to her again.
Sheikh,iam trying to leard Quran but i am not being able to do that for some reasons. But when i listen to your recitation i feel inpired to learn quran. So pls pls pls upload a long video of your recitation. There is no long video of your quran recitation in YouTube.
Ma shaa Allah. May Allah reward you, brother Belal. What an excellent way of speaking you have been blessed with. Please keep doing these lectures 😊
Thanks
Salaam, soooo soooo nice, MāshāAllāh, TabārakAllāh. I savour every word of this Shakyh. He reminds me to be soft and kind at school.
I'm a revert and converted to islam because of my zwaji insha'Allah and learning from feels great your tone is welcoming calm and worthwhile im learning from you how to be a Muslimah and now I'm watching this lecture I'll raise my children well ❤
🙏🙏
May Allah subhan u taala bless you abundantly in dis Dunya and Akhira.
Make you a Momin Father of Mominoons and SABIQOONS, grant you with best Quranic Hikmah..such a gem based talk
Subhan Allah .Much needed
love the part of uplifting others and not letting one's bad desires be part of one's identity despite one's addictions to it, or thoughts to explore it, the best identity we have is being a servant of Allah, and then being a part of ummah of prophet Muhammad SAW, this is such a great way to remember who we are when we get sad
May Allah reward you for all ur knowledge! Allahuma Ameen
Being in the education sector, I cannot agree more with every word of this lecture, Sheikh's experience is speaking louder than any books on the topic. I think I might listen to his Cultivating Character series again as that was extremely beneficial, and brought so much clarity.
BarakAllahufeek Sheikh and team👍
ما شاء الله تبارك الله brother Bilal
May Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta Ala reward you immensely for this beneficial reminder 🥹🤲🌿✨
Dragonball z!!!
May Allah reward you ya sheikh,for this lecture
Can you pls do a video on what actually is sharia law in detail because of the western and european propaganda many don't even know what truly is sharia law including muslims sadly some Muslims have also end up being brainwashed by western and European media sharia law is not really what ppl think it is..the west only wanted to dehumanize the Muslims and islam thats why they always try to paint sharia law as a really bad thing so it would be nice if you do a video on it in detail and clear all misconceptions
Jazakumullahu koiran jahza,for the priceless speech❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Wasnt it anas ibn malik that was the child who served, not abdullah ibn masud?
Dear Sheikh,🌱
The way you deliver your lectures—with such eloquence, compassion, and sincerity—is truly a gift from Allah. I have been listening to you for years and always find inspiration and comfort in your words. You are a special blessing for our Ummah. I thank Allah for creating you and I sincerely pray that He grants you happiness and contentment in this life and the next.
May Allah continue to bless you and guide you always.
💐
May Allah(SWT) bless Sheikh Belal Assaad and team. I was listening to your narration of seerah of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and thank you for reminding these points from it like for eg: about Fatimah(RA), Nouman and Anas(RA), etc. Good examples.JazakAllah khair.
Your talk was inspiring as usual. However sheikh in today’s time with phones and technology it has become really hard to raise young adults. As a single mother I try and be there for my children whatever time I have I am home but they are so involved with their electronics there’s no time to actually be together. Everyone in their rooms. Life has become difficult. We make dua for all the children of the Ummah
Thank you, it was a beautiful reminder. Your list will be pasted on our fridge so we can remember ❤
Thank you for the reminder. I have 18 year old and 8 year old and this really benefit me.
That was beautiful Belal! I have two daughters and I can say I always wanted more children, but now I can’t have anymore. I really believe we are the examples of how are children grow up to be. Inshallah I will be rewarded for raising them alone to be the best they can be. Ameen
Assalamualaikum ustaz, i always listen to your talk every morning while ironing the clothes😂… i love this talk as ive got a 10 years old son.. if u ever seen this comment i would love to listen talk about single mom/dad, especially in raising the child because the child dont get the bonding with a dad/male/female figures/mom in their life, what is the right approach because kids who grow up without their complete family kinda matured early, thank you for all ur talk
Great lecture. Wish we had an inlaws one
Mashallah you are the best sheikh, we have learnt so much from you,Alhamdulillah 🤲🤲
You teached me so much ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉😊😊😊

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «يُوشِكُ الْأُمَمُ أَنْ تَدَاعَى عَلَيْكُمْ كَمَا تَدَاعَى الْأَكَلَةُ إِلَى قَصْعَتِهَا» . فَقَالَ قَائِلٌ: وَمِنْ قِلَّةٍ نَحْنُ يَوْمَئِذٍ؟ قَالَ: «بَلْ أَنْتُم يَوْمئِذٍ كثير وَلَكِن غُثَاءٌ كَغُثَاءِ السَّيْلِ وَلَيَنْزِعَنَّ اللَّهُ مِنْ صُدُورِ عَدُوِّكُمُ الْمَهَابَةَ مِنْكُمْ وَلَيَقْذِفَنَّ فِي قُلُوبِكُمُ الْوَهْنَ» . قَالَ قَائِلٌ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَمَا الْوَهْنُ؟ قَالَ: «حُبُّ الدُّنْيَا وَكَرَاهِيَةُ الْمَوْتِ»۔
🌺 The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “Narrated Thawban: The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: The people will soon summon one another to attack you as people when eating invite others to share their dish. Someone asked: Will that be because of our small numbers at that time? He replied: No, you will be numerous at that time: but you will be scum and rubbish like that carried down by a torrent, and Allah will take fear of you from the breasts of your enemy and last enervation into your hearts. Someone asked: What is wahn (enervation). Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم: He replied: “Love of the world and dislike (hate) of death”.
You’re an amazing scholar. I love the way you deliver your speech, I can understand the context in which my heart can connect to the message. We need more scholars like this 💗 May الله have mercy on him, and his family. On his late son and brother الله يرحمه 🤍🤍🤍
Jazakallahu Khairan, Sheikh Belal Assaad ❤️❤️❤️. Your lecture was as inspiring as always. May Allah grant you endless blessings and reward you for all the positive impact and wisdom you share with us.
I'm not married nor do I have any kids but I really benefited from listening. May Allah swt bless all of us with the things we seek that is of benefit to us Ameen.
