Ramadan is almost here, are…you…ready?

It’s a period for spiritual renewal, where we must break through our daily mandate 
habits and realign our focus with the teachings of Allah (swt).

Through intentionality (Nia) and repentance (Toba)…

Shaykh Muhammad Alshareef (rA) always emphasized setting achievable spiritual goals during Ramadan.

Because if we try to do everything, we’ll end up burning out and wasting this precious gift.

So, know that it’s okay to fall short, as long as you’re consistent.

Life’s a test and it’s going to throw obstacles in your path.

The only way to move forward without breaking down is through patience.

When you’re hurting, it’s not a punishment, it’s a signal for you to pay attention to.

There’s something you should be focusing on, not the pain, but where it’s directing towards.

And when you resist the temptations your nafs tackles you with…

And be laser-focused on your purpose: to keep your journey aligned with Allah (swt)…

…through powerful Duas, Sabr, and Tawakkul in Allah (swt).

 
 In this video, Shaykh Muhammad Alshareef (rA) inspires you to embrace patience…

…as opportunities for spiritual growth and strength-building.

The success of others is what fuels our desire to do more, and to move forward with hope.
 
 It might also make you “jealous” in some part of your heart, but as long as it’s constructive, you’re good.
 
 We’re all feeling stuck at some point in our lives, be it family, work, or connection with Allah.
 
 And we do know that Dua is the language of the heart and a heartfelt conversation with Him (swt).
 
 But how to make Duas that actually bring a positive change in your life?
 
 What makes a person consistently obsessed with doing whatever it takes to achieve? 
 
 That’s what our guest Husain Abdullah has shared in this interview.
 
 How Allah carved his journey from being an NFL Football Player to guiding the Ummah to Deen.

It's okay to aim high when we talk to Allah.

We don't have to be afraid of being disappointed if we dream big.

Instead, we should believe that Allah can make amazing things happen when we ask Him for stuff.

Feeling bad about our mistakes shouldn't stop us from praying for big things.

We should always hope for good things and ask Allah for help, no matter what.

Forget about being "realistic,".

Think outside the box and dream a little bigger. So you can learn how to make your Duas super powerful and exciting.

In reality, there’s no end to it.

Allah loves us more than a woman loves her child.

That’s why even during our tests, He sends us opportunities…

So we can heed His warning and get back on track.

He also looks for excuses to forgive us.

He’s the Most Merciful, The Most Beneficial.

How can a God like that ever do something bad for you?

Every plan of His is a blessing in disguise…

Only if you start to trust Him, you can see how much He loves you

One effective tool to deal with overwhelming emotions...

...is Journaling. It's when you dump all that's in your brain on a paper.

It helps you clear your mind and detox.

Sometimes, our feelings can break apart from our interior...

...disrupting our mood, habits, and our lifestyle.

So, to contain it properly, journaling is a good way to go.

Try it yourself, write down whatever you're feeling...

And you might feel a little lighter.

If your science teacher didn’t use analogies…

Maybe you would have a lot of trouble understanding the concepts.

But when it comes to the Quran…

Some people make the mistake of assuming Allah looks down on people by using some analogies.

That is NOT true.

Here, Shaykh Muhammad Alshareef (rA) cleared the dust by explaining why analogies are crucial for education…

And why it’s actually an effective tool in helping people understand complex ideas…

Same is the reason for drawing relatable comparisons.

This is evident that Allah indeed knows us better…

And talks in a way our minds would easily comprehend.

In this podcast, Shaykh Muhammad Alshareef (rahimahullah) shares a though-provoking story...

And talks about our duty towards the whole Ummah.

History is evident...

A united front is always hard to defeat...

...than a lone warrior.

When our Muslim brothers and sisters are facing a severe test...

We should be there for them, care for them, and help however we can.

And at the very least, we must make Dua for them...always.

But if we don't bat an eye while their cries echo throughout the world...

We may be the next victims ourselves.

What happens when we lose hope in Allah?

Our life drifts apart, our goals become blurry...

And we become stuck in doubt, in Allah and ourselves.

That's a dangerous place to be in.

So, never ever lose hope in Him...

Because He has the power to turn your Duas into reality.

And if you find yourself waiting long enough...

Revisit what went wrong and ask again.

He always listens.

Who stands before a king and asks for a penny?

In this podcast, Shaykh Muhammad Alshareef (rahimahullah) talked about a Muslim sister who had the privilege of meeting a real-life king in a Muslim country.

She was confused about how to approach the conversation…

But, do we think about it when we’re talking to the King of the Kings?

This is where he talks about strengthening our connection with Allah and enhancing our dua skills.

Because when we’re able to have powerful conversations with Him (swt)…

It shapes our reality, it declutters our mind from emotional toxicants…

And allow us to nurture a mindset that relies on no one other than Allah (swt)…

…where we can take Tawakkul to the next level.
