And we start thinking people's judgment because people
say Allah will never forgive you, but what
they're really saying is I will never forgive
you I'm
gonna give them.
I'm gonna give the guys a turn this
time.
I'll give you one Because
usually like the test But what if it's
like For example, like when you did something
really bad That you're really unsure How do
you can actually forgive yourself because it's sort
of like you did something a long time
ago And now you're like your past caught
up with you and you just think like
everything is messed up because of what you
did Like how do you can actually forgive
yourself?
so When you have a hard time forgiving
yourself, it's usually because people have convinced you
that you're unforgivable And they have planted that
idea in your head Right because they're bringing
it back up and then you start thinking
that that's your own thought It's not your
own thought because Allah gave us a relief
from that Allah told us that when someone
makes a stick bar when someone repents and
asks for forgiveness, it's done There's no there's
no reason to go back to that same
mistake again Even something as serious as murder
like in the case of Musa alayhis salaam
when he accidentally murdered someone Immediately he asked
for forgiveness and immediately Allah forgave him and
it's not because he was a prophet because
he wasn't even a prophet yet When that
happened, so that was for every believer Right.
So what happens is we start we start
underestimating how much Allah forgives and We start
thinking people's judgment because people say Allah will
never forgive you But what they're really saying
is I will never forgive you.
So we confuse people's judgment with Allah's judgment
And then we make that our own judgment
if Allah won't even forgive me.
How can I even forgive myself?
Right, so you have to detox from that
with the word of Allah.
The word of Allah is telling you when
you made a mistake Yes, and people will
bring it up and people will use it
against you like Firaun used the killing against
Musa But that doesn't mean Allah didn't forgive
You have to be clear about your relationship
with Allah separate from your relationship and your
comments from people Even though the person cannot
forgive you And we're gonna talk about forgiveness
in the fourth episode not the third one
The third one's about jealousy, but the fourth
one will be about forgiveness.
Yes.
Yes You always mention about the modernity right?
How we deal with the modernity We as
Muslim Millennials want to fit with this modernity
but we want to enjoy this Islam You're
already doing it right now What do you
mean how?
You're a millennial and you're here Where's the
complication?
The complication is I cannot relate with my
circle, not only in this circle but in
other circles in my company, in my community
I cannot relate with them So how can
we give them the hikmah or we can
have to be dominant as a Muslim Millennial
I think that Islam is firstly about principles
And when you demonstrate that your principles even
at the company even in your other environments
Make you a better employee make you a
better manager make you a better person Those
qualities start speaking for themselves You know, so
and you're the most reliable person in the
company like, you know, Rasool sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam We were told about him.
He has a great character Right, so one
of the evidences of the truth of Islam
was his character Right.
So in this environment where Islam is associated
with extremism with narrow-mindedness With backwardness and
all those things your character can break those
stereotypes not your words, but your character That's
okay loneliness is it comes with Islam People
that follow the right way will always be
more isolated Right, but then Allah will give
them each other's company at
