Allahumma barik
Ive had family members that I supported with my time and services and hospitality for years and then came to painfully realize they were gossiping about me maliciously and slandering me. They ruined my life, health, and finances in so many ways that it is basically criminal. They did a lot of permanent damage to me in extremely traumatic ways. I upheld ties with them, welcome them to my home, would spend on them, treat their children like my own despite their being evil toward me for years. Their hearts were full of hasad and evil and they literally wanted me to be destroyed. On the DOJ I will iA ask Allah to give me justice in regards to how they mistreated and targeted me.
Alhamdulilah
Jazakallah khairan Sheikh 🙏🙏🙏
Allahumma Ameen 🙏🙏🙏
JazakAllah Khayr for these reminders
Alhumdulillah I have a very caring family. Alhumdulillah for everything.
May Allah bless us all. Ameen
AMEEN 🤲🤍
Assalamu alaikum, i recently converted and I've been wanting to get a Qur'An and i dont know where to get one, any of you know where I possibly could get my hands on one
❤❤❤
As salam alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu sheikh bilal. Im a 24 year old college degree student and i want to ask something, hope you'll read this.
If we’re trying to improve ourselves like fixing our prayers, trying to read the Quran alone after neglecting it for a long time, and trying to avoid sins, we should feel more at peace since we’re moving toward goodness, right? But every time I try to do other things as such work, watching animes, playing games etc, my mind keeps wondering whether what I’m doing is enough to enter Paradise, and I start feeling afraid again, making it hard to focus on my daily tasks. And sometimes, I end up falling back into the same sin i was trying to avoid, even if it’s not as bad as before.
And honestly, every night I keep getting scared because of that.
Assalam alaykom sheikh Belal , I have a question , jazak Allah khayran for your empathy with us and I hope you can give me an answer .
First of all i would like to say that I am not asking this question from a place of hatred or accusation or blaming or denying the necessity of it . I do admit that Allah made haram things Haram for our own sake , and that whether we obey or not we are free but accountable and that Whether all of the earth people believed or not it wont Affect Allah negatively ever . I do admit that Allah is source of all good and fair and just .
I was born in a non muslim country , here women do not wear Hijab , also I hope ypu do not take this badly but in a consensual way I am not considered pretty , matter of fact i was bullied for being ugly since i was a kid by my own family and friends and people around me , when I learnt about Islam I loved Allah so much , I tried my best to stay consistent with all sort of worship obligatory and extra and avoided major and minor sins thanks to Him , except one , that is wearing Hijab when I tried wearing Hijab I got extremely harrassed by my own family , my mother stopped talking to me and fell sick and disowned me , my job refused it , my friends mocked me and that did not bother me much , but what bothered me was my family stance , they started mocking me day and night in a very hirtfuo way saying no one would marry me and insulting how I look, calling me all sort of names , then they forced me to go to a psychiatrist thinking I became depressed and they d keep on calling me day and night ( aunts and uncles to try to convince me to not wear Hijab ) i resisted for no more than two months , my family used to love me so much and especially my mother i do not have much friends so she was ly best friend , I forgot to say that my family are all believers and muslims women actually wear Hijab but they went through a lot of oppression here because of it and stayed at home and did not want me to go through it and they kept on trying to convince me to wear it after getting married and after getting a solid job . i know i know that It is not allowed to obey people when they ask you to disobey Allah i swear I know but I got severe depression from being alone all the time and from the hurtful words and being deserted by my own family , my own family who made me love Allah and encouraged me to be religious are all turning against me and harrassing me .. I spent months trying to convince them , but in vain , none of them talked to me so i refrained from wearing Hijab but i was so scared of Allah that I ended uo staying isolated at home and leaving all my friends, I have been staying at home for 6 months refusing ti go out cuz i can t go out not wearing Hijab , and whenever i told my family they would not go back on their decision , i swear to you I became depressed and anxious , I left social media , music make up , kdramas , movies series , gaming , everything for Allah alone , I became paralyzed from fear , what if Allah punishes my family because of me pbeying them instead of Him ? What if all my good deeds are not accepted because I am not wearing Hijab? I have been suffering mentally for months, i went to a doctor but my problem is the thoughts , i am extremely scared of Allah , I mean Yeah you have to think well of Allah , vut not when you re sinning , you can t say it s alright i am excused , I swear to you sheikh , I have been living a nightmare for 6 months of panick attacks and constantly wanting to die I looked up every scholar and all of them say the same thing and made me feel more guilty and hate myself more , I envy those who had encouraging environments to obey Allah , I do not know what to do and Tho I stayed consistent with my good deeds and pretend to be alright for my family not to be worried , I fezl like a hypocrite whenever I am praying or reading Quran , like how dare I say I love Allah when I couldn’t obey A major order .. I beg anyone who can help me .. I do not know what to do , what can I do … i asked scholars and they told me I have to resist my parents and family and endure their hatred and harsh words , I really tried but couldn’t it s really not easy , I feel very lonely very alone very scared all the time ..
this dunya is bullshit. nothing is fair.
Wallahi that secret marriage is something that even needs to be discussed is mind baffling to me.
May Allah subaha wa ta‘ala protect us woman from such men.

Thank you for all the wonderful videos brother. May Allah bless you. Can you please make something on Islamic investment or something related to that 🙂
Aameen. Jazaakallaahu Khairan
As salam alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu my brother i have a question what if yano may Allah protect us but what if someone oppresses someone who has no sins because Allah forgave them another way and they have no good deeds left to give what would happen to that person then so a person has no good deeds to give and they oppress someone who has no sins to take
Sheikh Bilal I hope You get to read my message , I grew up in a “muslim not so muslim” country , we believe in Allah and his prophet and Quran and prayers but whenever I d go masjid all i could hear about was “ Wear Hijab or you ll be burned in fire” “ women are awrah” “women shall not go around men” all it focuses on was Women , Music being haram and free mixing is haram , All they taught me is that I will be burnt in Hellfire and I shall fear Death and Allah s wrath , thinking that making me feel guilty will bring me closer to Allah , instead all it did was making me more scared of Him , I did not enjoy praying nor reading Quran , I kept on having panick attacks whenever I sinned thinking I ll die or Allah will punish me severely, I became paralyzed by fear and each scholar I looked up only strengthened my fear , Til Allah subhanahou wa taala , All praise to Him , guided me to learn about His names and attributes and Read Quran attentively then He guided me to your Channel to learn more about what Allah wants from me , and that islam is not oppressive to women and That Allah is source of All good and that He s not waiting to put me in Hellfire but He wants to bring me closer , I watched almost all of your videos and learnt about Islam all over again even tho I ve been muslim for 25 YO meaning since i was born , the way you talk about Allah and His prophet , the empathy in your tone , the soft compassionate speech , I think pur prophet PBUH would be proud to see a scholar like you , I pray for your happiness and that Allah rewards you and your family with the highest ranks in Jannah , I am grateful towards Allah first and foremost but you are one of the very verryyy few scholars who helped me fall in love with Allah and my religion , and your recitation to Quran brings peace to my heart , May Allah reunite you and us with Our prophet and May Allah grant you the highest ranks and forgive you and keep you healthy and uses you to invite more youths to our perfect beautiful religion , jazaka Allah khayran Sheikh 🤍
SUBHANa Allah❤❤❤❤
Ma sha Allah my brother❤
BE WARNED BROTHER BELAL ASSAAD:
There is a real danger since people are addicted in listening to Islamic talks on YouTube. They can't tell the signs of AI generated videos that are being shown to represent all our favorite speakers, the real Brain washing has begun.
Such a timely and relevant reminder. In this world of greed, when our brothers and sisters are being subjected to rife brazen oppression, our weeping hearts find solace in Allah's Perfect Justice. May Allah subhana save everyone from oppressing or being oppressed and capacitate and unite the Ummah. Inna lillahe wa inna ilaihe rajeoon.
Jazak Sheikh for explicating on contemporary issues of racism, polygamy, and social media, in relation to justice. And the analogy of the fence explaining equity and justice was so apt. Your series on the 4 Imams was my walk buddy last week, gold as always.
⚖️🔹Al Adl/Justice; equality without favouritism, owed to all as per customs and rules 🔹 Al Qist/Equitibility;what each person deserves according to individual circumstances. Both mentioned 27+times each in the Quran
🕋Allah may forgive His rights but rights of others,violated knowingly, will only be forgiven if the person whose right was taken, forgives.
✨Rights of all beings and system of entire universe is based on justice and equitibility. Tiniest of change in this system of universe/our actions, that upsets this justice system, will inevitably corrupt things (Surah Al Furqan 25:2 @4:20)
⚖️Justice has many levels, highest level is to speak truth in front of a tyrant leader.
⚓Allah sent down Prophets to reveal His laws and justice system And to ensure their implementation, and break the power of those who do not follow it/resist it.( Surah Hadid verse 25 @13:13)
🕋 Three names of Allah subhana in Surah Nisa4:40 @20:32. Allah is✨ Al Adl, Just and treats without favouritism ✨Al Muqsit, Looks at atoms worth of deed each individual did/did not do, measures according to each individual ✨Al Kareem, most Generous. After Allah exercises justice on the Day of Judgement, He exercises mercy.
📜Relevant verses explained;Surah Anbiya 21:47@21:17, Surah Al An'am6:152 @24:54, Surah An Nisa 4:135@27:26, Surah Al Maidah 5:8@29:10
📜Relevant Hadith; 2582 Sahih Muslim, 2577 Sahih Muslim, 4446 Sunan An Nasai
⚖️ @ 38:50. Parameters of justice for a Muslim; 1. Quran & Sunnah and 2. Universal sense of Justice. If the Law of the Land you live in is not according to Quran and Sunnah but aligns with 1. & 2. , accept it. Even from a secular system of disbelievers.
☢️If some Laws of land are unjust, & you don't believe it in your heart and can't influence or change it in peaceful legal means, then abide by the law. Unless Allah opens a peaceful way or you find a legal way
I’ve been married for 7 years and my husband has never given me nafaka, I live with my mother in her home and he has never provided anything for me even though he is a very wealthy man. He gives charity, supports his mistress and her 3 grown up children and when I asked him politely for a small amount for my living, he said he has nothing to give. He refused me the right to have children. Everyone believes he is pious and generous but Allah knows and I say Hasbun Allah wa namal wakeel. Thank you for your comforting words.
Allahuma Aameen.
Can you make a lesson about self hatred and self loathing ? How can I love myself and stop doubting and downgrading myself all the time even after multiple failures and being used and stepped over by closest people to you ?
JazakAllah Khayir akhi, May Allah forgive me for any shortcomings I may have in this world and soften my heart always for he is the owner of the worlds and the heavens🤲
❤
I had people who I had contract with like with a employer and she/he got herself messed up in my private life. In the end she was talking about her haqq and rights. And I was so confused about what she was talking about. I don't think that a employer should be in nosy in my private life and get messed up in it and then asking me for her rights?
جزاك الله خيرا وبارك الله فيك
💙💜🤲🏽
Ameen ❤❤❤❤❤

Jazakallahu Khairan Sheikh Belal for this important topic which is underestimated by many. It is a subject that is very dear to my heart; Knowing that Allah (SWT) is the Most Just makes it possible to continue living and at the same time strive against anyone, and in any form, for this purpose.
May Allah (SWT) forgive us and strengthen our steadfastness in honesty and justice. Allahumma Ameen!
May Allah forgive us but l am called to clarify that a secret marriage is a marriage based on lies and therefore it is not acceptable by Allah. We have to remember that Allah is the Seeing and the Hearing. Making a secret marriage as valid in the eye of Allah is like avoiding the fact that Allah is the Seeing anf the Hearing. Secret marriage is injustice act itself… and it is against Allah as Al Hakim Al Adl.
Amin
Sheikh Belal, I pray Allah rewards you for your efforts, your voice and really connecting with the ummah. Alhamdoulilah your content is so so important 🥹❤️🤲🏾
Thank you for always also speaking up for animals ❤
