Becoming the Best Version of Yourself | Lecture by Dr. Omar Suleiman 

44:16 to 45:05 is a *gem* that every Muslim should hear. "Everything around you is becoming more intelligent at satisfying you and your delusion. And you have to do that much more work to overcome that, and to make yourself hear what's gonna actually better you in sha Allah".

this man has literally made me better person alhumdulillah.

"Everything around you is becoming more intelligence at satisfying you in your delusions." That hit home

46:41 -Qiyyam Layl -Reading Quran -Making duaa -Dhikr (Istighfar and sending salawat on Prophet ﷺ is great) -These things will help you get a softer heart and do more good deeds

Even tho I know almost all the points mentioned from prev lectures and others, this still hurt every bit of me cuz I know all my “fatal flaws”, I’ve been trying for so long I literally don’t have anything left to do except dua, and asking ppl to pray for me, please my brother or sister who’s reading this, pray that Allah give me good character and patience, and make me good to my parents, family and myself. I trust that Allah will answer eventually, and that I can and will change, I just really really need your dua’s rn. Jazakum Allah khairan.

When brother Omar said May we all meet all the prophets in Jannah I got the chills and my eyes flooded. SubhanAllah right to my heart, Ameen make Allah make it so, Ameen

We need to stop focusing on faults of others and talking about them. Instead focus on our faults and work on them.

"We're living at a time where algorithms are catered towards what you like to hear and what you like you like to see and not what's going to challenge you to be better. Everything around you is becoming more intellingent at satisfying you in your delusion. And you have to do that much more work to overcome that and to make yourself hear what's gonna actually better you inshallah. Ramadan whem it comes is a great time do that." 44:27

*I cannot emphasize enough the immense power of Surah Baqarah when it comes to providing protection and healing. Subhanallah. May Allah protect us all. Please keep me in your duas. The video you shared was incredibly enlightening, brother*

I’m not a Muslim but he speaks truth in his message. God bless everyone ❤😊

1. Have a good character. [ The religion in its is entirety is a good character, so whoever surpasses you in good character has surpassed you in Religion ] 2. Perform your Fardz , and pay attention to Halaal and Haram. 3. Don't be contained/sustained with the extra good deeds that you do, focus on the deeds or fardz that you "MUST" be doing but are showing a blind eye and deaf ear to. 4. Get Inspired from the people who are best than you, get inspired from their good qualities and strive to bring them in your life rather than looking at the worst people and being like " oh, I atleast don't do that sin ". Focus on the part where you lack and you must be doing. 5. Decrease your fatal flaws / sins / bad deeds and not be sustained or rely on the good deeds that you do.[ Not doing something that Allah tells you not to do is harder than doing something that Allah ( SWT ) tells you to do or tells you is good for you to do. ]

May Allah make me and all of us like Luqman (23:02) and Umar (28:15). May Allah not make me and us of those who are deluded by their own good deeds. (32:19) May Allah make me and all of us sincere people who can give up our sins. (38:09)

In modern world, prophet daud will be called a Top G 😂. Wealthy, discipline, wise, person of faith and a family man.

Ameen Ya Rabbul Alameen Alhamdulilah I watched this entire Khutba and when I paused midway to worship Allah at magrib I felt different - it came at the best time when I needed Allahs forgiveness and help with rectification Alhamdulilah for all His Mercy on me

42:37 صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ This is one of them ahadeeth I’ve heard the most from Sh. Omar. May Allah AWJ preserve him in the hereafter and in this life too.

This is one of the best lectures I've ever heard. Jazakallahu kheir. I absolutely love Sheikh Omar Suleiman for the sake of Allah

53:30 Excel in deeds that come easiest to you without betraying those qualities with flaws you ignore. Don’t get self-amazed with your deeds. Be grateful to ٱللَّٰه .

Sallallahu alayhi waalehi wassllam

May allah swt forgive out short comings

May Allah make the good in our heart the revival of this ummah

39:20 SubhanAllah, Dr. Omar has hit a raw nerve. Very deep, and one needs to contemplate deep into this lecture. Jazzak'Allah'Khair Dr. Omar.

Subhaanallaah wal hamdu lillaah wa laa-ilaaha illa llahu Allahu Akbar.

Magnificent lecture. When you love Allah, you obey his commands and work on your sins. It takes a lifetime to correct your character.

1. Abu Hurayra reported the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, “Race to good actions as fast as you can. What are you waiting for except delayed poverty, oppressive wealth, debilitating illness, dottering senility, a swift death or the Dajjal? Or are you waiting for an unseen evil, or the Last Hour? The Last Hour will be most bitter and terrible.” [at-Tirmidhi]

ALLAHAMDULLIAH MASHALAH ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Only one word for this talk: WOW MashaAllah

One of the best podcasts I needed to hear. Alhamdulillah for this!

Allah huma barik. This man never fails to amaze me. Self reflection is the key 🔑

Very insightful, eye and ear opening lecture. May Allah make us all sincere in our deeds.

It’s just amazing how your lectures are impactful to all of us living in different parts of the world, brother. May Allah protect and bless you more. A sister in Islam from Ethiopia

😂 Thank you for being that person who tells the truth and helps me get closer to Allah, swt, and correct my many flaws. This talk wasn't offensive, it is a wake up call to stop having a personal pity party😂. Woe is not me, but it can be if I am not ready for Judgment day😢. Thank you!😊

He speaks the truth, he says what none dares to say . Mashallah. We all need to question ourselves without exception

Beautiful Muslim, if all were like him.. mashallah

May Allah reward you!!! May he increase you, may he make you better than what we think of you and may he make us better than what others think of us. This video was everything you said it would be and so much more. Jazakhallahu Khairan

Thank you for helping me be the better version of myself through Allah

I love you for the sake of Allah SWT. ❤

Masha Allah. This speech is inspiring and insightful. It was shared to me by my beloved sister. May Allah blesses her and blesses all other muslims. To the future generation. Dont let this message die. As salaamu alaikum.

This is one of the most intense, easily mind captivating lectures. May Allah bless you. Lesson learnt about not assuming the role of Allah (God forbid) in judging and deciding whether what we're doing is good enough or not. That'a up to Allah to calculate, which means we should assume a scarcity mindset when it comes to evaluating whether we have done enough for the sake of Allah in any area. Also in this lecture we were given mental promps for self-reflective work which fall under the category of "how" to become a better person from ((the inside out)) rather than the "shoulds" style of lecturing, and I deeply appreciate this type education. Please gift us with more of this type of inner work for the sake of Allah so we could straighten ourselves for the long term. Nothing is once and for all for sure, but this kind of work allows for a deeper kind of change to take place within a person which is more likely to be permanent, more or less, inshaaAllah. May Allah bless you and the entire Yaqeen istitute team.

سبحان الله وبحمده عدد خلقه ورضا نفسه وزنة عرشه ومداد كلماته Subhan Allah wa bihamdihi 'adada khalqih wa rida nafsihi wa zinata 'arshih wa midada kalimatih

❝Don't hurt anyone with love. Stay away from mahram if you are single.❞ Pray for guidance for everyone. ❝Allah is with the oppressed. Don't be disappointed.❞ No one belongs except Allah. Kullu Nafsin Zaikatul Maut. ❝ Try to pray 5 times, start by performing the obligatory prayer, come to the prayer anyway. ❞

This is literally all i need, Alhamdulillah 😢❤

This really made my day 🥰 may Allah 53:52 swt grant us understanding. Aàmiin

I don't know how to be the best version of myself anymore. However, I have had Covid. I live by myself. I had no one to look after me. Two weeks I was almost senseless. Couldn't tell it was day or night. Anyway, all I did was pray. I beged Allah to spare mylife. And purified me. I want to die with my Iman. And, Promise I will not do knowingly any UNGOLDLY ACT. Any act which will upsets Allah. Since then I am confused should I go against the OPPRESSORS? Will that be okay becuase I have handed them to Allah. I have asked Allah for Justice. Many of the things I am suffering from, I believe Allah would be the one to Judge, who has seen everything. It is difficult to forget, because I feel I am walking around the circle. How do I break that Spirituality,

Alhamdulliahi may Allah SWT bless you

Alhamdulillah, a rejuvenating reminder! 🍃💫

This really makes my day 🥰 may Allah swt grant us understanding. Aàmiin
