Suhaib Webb – Ask Your Kids To Watch This!

Welcome

to the essentials of Islamic faith

for the youngsters.

I get to put on my full

chacha,

uncle hamu

hat. I'm just joking, but I just want

to say that I'm really excited to have

you guys

in this vlog class. And how it works

is, I want you to watch

these and then make sure on Sundays you

attend the discussions with me.

Discussions are where you can ask questions, engage.

We know that it's great in Islam to

ask questions,

and it's normal in Islam to doubt. Right?

That

night. He came to the Sahaba, and he

mentioned that he had had a *,

and that he needed

an excuse not to make the because he

was worried he would die,

and they said for him there's no Rosa.

There's no dispensation for you. You have to

do the complete wash,

and he did it, and he died.

And they came to the prophet,

and they

told him what happened.

They killed him. Allah killed him.

And the prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam then said

namashifa

alri that the remedy for any illness

is to ask a question.

So asking questions is great.

Maybe some of you have ran into religious

teachers that told you

don't ask questions, or

your parents may have told you, like, don't

ask questions.

You just felt like it's not good to

ask

questions.

Nah, man.

The prophetic narrations that discourage us from asking

questions

are questions that don't lead to practical solutions

or lead to benefit. Right? Just asking questions

to be causing trouble.

The second thing about doubt is in Sahih

Muslim, which is an authentic collection of prophetic

narrations.

A man came to the Messenger of Allah,

came to Prophet Muhammad,

alayhis salam, and he said, I have

things that I want to ask you, but

I'm scared to say them.

You're stuck.

It's disgusting

he said, really? Really? Really?

Like, really?

He said, yes. Yes.

He

said, that, that is pure faith,

because the battle, the fact that you are

even thinking about battling your doubts and not

just simply succumbing to them,

that's a sign that you have iman.

You have faith.

So how are you gonna benefit from class?

The more you challenge me,

the more you engage with me, and even

in fact, the more you may differ with

my conclusions,

the better the overall experience will be.

The third

is that you cannot feel so defeated by

your shortcomings In

the

In the Quran, Allah is the one

who guides.

Allah is the one

who leads you to where you need to

be.

The process, man.

And I can say that

I'm not here to judge you.

In 20 years of this, I've dealt with

every kind of person,

every kind of sin,

every kind of evil.

And I believe

that we have to love people back to

Allah,

not terrify them from Allah.

And that's unfortunate because you go online and

you see a lot people who have some

experiences have come back to Islam or found

Islam and haven't really studied and their passion

and their love and even maybe their selfishness

for

Islam causes them to push people away from

Islam.

No. No.

Surat al Mustaine

is a wide path.

It's for everybody.

Now

where do we get

started? Let's talk about guilt

because guilt is a monster, man.

And a lot of times guilt is used

by shaitan

to keep us away from growth,

but in Islam, guilt,

healthy guilt,

is

what

spawns growth.

You may be wondering, like, healthy guilt,

unhealthy guilt,

healthy guilt,

and regret.

It's that regret

that inspires us to be better,

that invokes in us a sense of self

honor and

worth

that does not allow us to surrender

and bow down

to the guilt,

but to feel offended by it.

To feel like, you know what? I'm better

than this. I can do better than this.

So the guilt is a catalyst

for

improvement. Unhealthy guilt

is the guilt that causes us to give

up and surrender and shaitan uses that type

of guilt, what's called a

yes, to cause us to lose hope.

Healthy guilt,

which

inspires us to be better,

and healthy guilt,

which causes

us to fall into depression,

to be consumed by anxiety

to the point that we no longer work

and we give up and we surrender.

I'm gonna talk about how to deal with

that inshallah next time,

but I just wanna let you know,

it's okay to feel that way. The prophet

sallallahu alaihi wa sallam said, health healthy guilt

and healthy regret.

That repentance starts with a sense of regret.
