    14 - Everything Sucks & We Need to End Celebrity Sheikh Culture

    Assalam walaikum loves! Whooo that's a title 😮‍💨 this episode is truly a vent to get everything that's been weighing heavy on me off my chest, and a discussion on the recent case within our Muslim community that has truly hurt so many people. I hope you can take something from it InshaAllah. Whoever you are, wherever you are - I'm so glad you're here, and I can't wait to grow with you along the way 3 REFERENCES: 1) And the next life is certainly far better for you than this one. (Quran 93:4) 2) Do people think once they say, “We believe,” that they will be left without being put to the test? (Quran 29:2) 3) And then that person from amongst the persons of the world be brought who had led the most miserable life (in the world) from amongst the inmates of Paradise, and he would be made to dip once in Paradise and it would be said to him: O, son of Adam, did you face, any hardship? Or had any distress fallen to your lot? And he would say: By Allah, no, my Lord, never did I face any hardship or experience any distress. (Sahih Muslim 2807) 4) No one who enters Paradise would like to return to the world, even if he could have everything on earth, except for the martyr. He will wish to return to the world and be killed ten more times due to the generous reward he sees. (Sahih al-Bukhari 2817) 5) O believers! Stand firm for justice as witnesses for Allah even if it is against yourselves, your parents, or close relatives... (Quran 4:135) 6) I did not create jinn and humans except to worship Me. (Quran 51:56)
