Imran Hussein - When I was an atheist... - ReRooted 14 

"Sit with those who have sinned and repented for they have the softest of hearts." - Umar Ibn Al-Khattab RA

Hamza Tzortiz is a psychologist, he was literally getting into the depths of his mind Masha'Allah, what a interview

i do dawah in india make dua for indian muslims

i am dead everyone got musa and i got you

Former atheist here. Great to see another atheist who found the deen. I was an alcholic as well. Islam saved me from my desires.

Whenever you move away from Allah, Depression & anxiety move close to you.And how do you get close to Allah? through sincerity in your worshiping.And how do get that sincerity? You need to seek knowledge of your deen which builds your sincerity and you as well need to ask God for guidance.

Imran's story is what got me to start practicing Islam even though I was born muslim. Subhana Allah, everything he was talking about I have been through and I kept thinking how amazing it was to hear someone had been where I was and had made it out. So when my imaan drops I just come back to this and try remind myself where it all started for me. May Allah bless you guys at iera and increase you in kheir 💓

Musa : let's have a friend conversation. Hamza: let's have a lovely interrogation.

I letruly cried since he started to talk about the second cryseson... every thing about ego.. Quran..till the end subhanaallah it's my sign right now and I'm just crying .. Ya Rab.. preserve us all from falling on our faces by little steps

hamza tzortzis could pull out the deepest, darkest things about you that even you didn't know you had tbh xD really genuine and honest podcast, loved it!

It's was so deep mashallah like hamza got the most out of him i really want him to continue this series.

SubhanAllah, I also experienced severe anxiety in the past that turned my life into a living Hell. I tried to do yoga, change diet, meditate etc but that didn't take it away, only alleviate it to an extent. I remember I went to the emergencies once because of one such episode, but they only gave me medication to calm me down. SubhanAllah, when I turned to Allah, and sincerely asked for Shifaa, wallahi same thing as brother Imran, I felt so much peace and happiness that I've never felt in my life. Alhamdulilah, the more I looked into Islam and got closer to Him, the more my peace increased. Islam is truly the greatest blessing ever, and Alhamdulilah that Allah has guided us to it. "And We send down of the Qur'an that which is healing and mercy for the believers, but it does not increase the wrongdoers except in loss." Qur'an (17:82)

What an inspiring personality - and I just found so many similarities between myself and Imran - may Allah bless him ... I think he really speaks for quite a lot of us pakistani youngsters who grew up in the west.... May Allah guide us all

love from bangladesh🇧🇩

Probably the best podcast episode I've ever listened to. Deep.

SubhanAllah we often forget that behind these dawah brothers there are humans with problems like everyone and that have their own stories, challenges. The difference is the courage to face them for Allah. May Allah give them the best of the dunya and akhira, and a yaqeen and a peaceful heart that never loses such treasures ♡ Salam alaykum.

My heart is just crying right now.jazakAllah khair for sharing your struggle with us. Ya Allah forgive us and let us change our lives. Brother hamza what an amazing interviewer you are thank you

That teenage feeling statement got me.story of how you can get lost, get punched in the face, exhausted with no purpose but trying to find one and eventually light comes to you.May allah reward you

Wow! No words! I can relate, anxiety, darkest hour in life. Borne in Muslim family but not really lived as a Muslim. Looking for THIS ONE THING ,GOD? going to different worship places..... this sesrch..... OMG! I loved it. J.k. may Allah heal our broken hearts. Keep us guided.

Hamza look like a fusion between arabic beauty and pakistanian beauty,honestly when i look at him i get vibes of ancient arabic muslim men in the time of prophet .may allah reward him for his work for the sake of allah.

I had a mortality awakening when I was a child and it became a phobia. As I got older I brushed it off but when night fell, I would remember death. Alhamdulilah, I've accepted it. Every soul shall taste death.

My love for brother imran has increased just by listening to his story. May Allah bless you with what you have mentioned that you want to do and brother hamza as well.

I personally struggle with existential anxiety and depression too. This is the first time I feel like I can relate to someone. Thank you for sharing this.

How amazing that Brother Hussein has the strength to understand his own motivations and how he needs to stay on the straight path for the sake of his own soul. Very few people gain that much insight from this kind of necessary self examination that will not only benefit himself but also the Umah. MashaAllah

Please IERA, come to Bangladesh PLEASE!

Love Both Brothers For The Sake Of Allaah💕

This is so relatable, I'm going through the same anxiety and depression due to thanatophobia (death anxiety) as brother Imran did, may Allah help myself and others who are suffering from this. Very helpful video.

Finally....there it is!!! I was looking forward to have this episode...

Subhanallah! West Ealing? The new west ealing masjid is beyond beautiful, to think not that many years ago the likes of Imran was doing dawah with so much resistance and now we have such a vibrant community! Barakallhu feek

MashAllah brilliant interview by Hamza, I loved how we were able to explore Imran’s experiences. Please more interviews by Hamza

I did have the same problem as Imran 4 years ago. i suffered from the problem for 2 and a half years but eventually Allah calmed my soul and look at me now Alhamdulillah completely fine. I even now love thinking in these matters. i once said when i was in this period of time that one day i will laugh at myself for having this problem and i did

This is one of the best video I have watched on RU-vid. I really gained alot from this.

Hamza is literally a very attentive listener

My best podcast , love it سبحان الله❤

Jazak’Allahu Khayran just what I needed

Is it just me or does Imran Hussein sound exactly like Musa to y'all😂? Subhanallah, a really interesting podcast, thank you Hamza sir!

Ur story bro imran is my story I'm Pakistani too and i have a proper breakdown listening ur story like never cried before.. it's soooo something... can't explain.. ALLAH gives me peace too Ameen.

This is simply beautiful!

I cure my anxieties with Salat. My anxieties fade away right after I said everything that bothered me to my Creator while I am prostrated. Anxiety settles when someone don't have that connection with the Creator.

Masha Allah amazing episode.Probably one of the best things I have ever watched.

mashallah tabarakallah. i love his journey, so inspiring. i love this kind of deep conversation ❤️

Finally ☺️ May Allah bless you both.

So impressive..Allah bless you all

Watching podcast for the first time. Saw brother Imran on you tube a long time ago defeating an atheist. It was then I realised how stupid atheist really are subhan Allah. Brothers you both have really helped me. May Allah grant you both and your loved ones Jannah tul firdous Aameen

May Allah bless and reward both of you it was very interesting and inspiring

I love seeing such rational and existential conversations about Islam. In Sha Allah this type of discussion of Islam can become more common and we don’t have to keep categorizing logical and rational religious thought under the “western” philosophy umbrella term.

What a great interview from the great Hamza this video made me cry 😢 they say nothing but the truth May Allah grant both of you guys the highest level in jannah love you both and as a Muslim I am proud of you guys and wish you the best of luck on writing your book Imran Hussain I recommend all the atheists to watch this video and listen to theme with full attention love you both and keep up the great work 👍🙏

May Allah bless you brothers for the work you are doing, and make things easy for you .Ameen.

What an insight discussion, no Metter how many times you believe or have a faith in Islam, if you don't practice it and understand it in its reality you will feel the same maybe worse, as revert man to Islam said until i started my prayers... As Allah the Almighty says : And whoever turns away from My remembrance - indeed, he will have a depressed life . Beautiful and honest interviews.. May Allah guide us all to his path.. ❤️👍

Till today i remember the day i new about death, it really hit me hard, absolutely you are right, it was the day when i have felt sadness, fear, and also to think... Nobody can deny this day and his own experiences except the arrogants and a proud....

Subhan Allah, Alhamdulillah.. Allah barek fek to both of you

GUYS GOTTA SAY LOVE THE GUY ASKING THE QUESTIONS HE SOUNDS SO GENUINE WELLDONE LOVE THESE PODCASTS TOO

This... Oh ALLAH ! Bless theses men in abundance for what they do even in not knowing the help it provides

Imran love from Canada

Keep uploading tht type of video

SubhanAllah. baraakallahu fiiq

Assalamu alaukum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh :) What an amazing interview, really enjoyed listening to that inspirational story! The vision you shared in the end, I loved & support it & I pray to my Rabb Ar-Rahman, when that time comes, help & guide me to be of some benefit in that vision!! I ask Allah Al-Ghani to help & guide you in you journey. I ask Ar-Rahman to teach us all the Deen the way he taught his Prophet peace & blessings of Allah be upon him without an iota of impurification & the way he implemented it. I ask Allah to enable us see the Truth as Truth and give us the ability to follow it, and show us the falsehood as falsehood and give us the ability to refrain from it. I ask Rabbi' Allah if our arrogance & ego is in the way of accepting the truth, then guide & help us crush it.

Hamza is an excellent interviewer

It's funny. I have started reading hamza's divine reality and I'm at the part where he discussed consciousness and the subjective part of it where he says that it's scientifically impossible to explain how someone experiences something with their own consciousness. How someone experiences a strawberry is different for everyone. However, this existential crisis, feeling at the abyss, looking for an answer etc is very similar for every human being. I can easily say that i felt exactly how he felt. I also cried on a specific verse from the Kur'an. This kind of shared experience is another proof for the human fitrah in my opinion.

It is really deep 😲

Three minutes in, and my answer to the first question, it would have to be Rasullullahh s.a.w and if it's specifically to currently living it will be my Mother! Don't get me wrong I am a middle aged man who am married and I also have three adult children. Alhamdulillah.

sins when does Hamza have such a good build Body, i mean, this muscles bro! A very good Interwiew guys, may Allah S.W.T guide and reward you for your eforts. I can't wait for your Book Imran!

Hamza 👏👏👏
