"(6:32) And the worldly life is not but amusement and diversion; but the home of the Hereafter is best for those who fear Allah, so will you not reason?"
In this video, I explored how thinking about my possessions collecting dust underneath my bed got me thinking about the effects of exuding excessive meaning to sentiment, objects and this dunya in has held me back from developing into the storyline Allah (s.w.t) has written for me.

    i feel that when everyone became so addicted to social media and devices the problem of becoming so attached to a thing so trivial became worse for me (and probably others), because people rely on a device to do most of what they do in a day, like chatting, scrolling, ordering food, etc. i hope people (including me) can learn to detach from social media and fully focus on our deen and iman, because we have the king of kings right in fromt of us, calling us to establish a relation with him (SWT)

    somethign that tremendously helped me stopped scrolling is reading 2 pages of the Quran before any task, so like if I know I'm going to reply to some emails, or about to leave the house I'll read Quran and honestly it just puts you in a mental state to be more intentional about your tasks and just life in general. You realise how much time we are wasting... especially during these last few nights of Ramadan, let's try our best to make the most out of it!! You can do it Tasnim

    everything about this video just HIT for me. I'm 16, Muslim girl and I'm going to college in a few months. the rest of this comment is basically a journal entry so read if you will, I've been thinking about my younger self , how much I have changed and the points where I've changed. when I had motivation, the potential to how far I could have gotten but I haven't. I'm going to be moving away from home soon for the very first time and I'm thinking about the amount of change that will happen to me, the change that I want to happen, how I will reminisce on my home but I am glad to leave all the negative memories behind. and that I'm happy to turn over a new leaf and essentially start life again for the first time. your idea of wanting to be detached from meaningless things, I get that too. I'll find a journal entry from when I was 10 and start crying, in fact , a certain smell, listening to a song, or watching a show I watched when I was younger .. these all throw me into a deep sadness , especially in the last few weeks. but also don't feel frustrated, we're human after all. and ya rab may Allah help us stay focused on improving ourselves. i don't ever normally comment on videos but I really feel this. keep being you, keep making these videos, I appreciate it.

    " I just want to become detached from such meaningless things that can so easily play into to your self-concept and the actions and decisions that you make today " " these are amazing things because I am able to appreciate life and see Beauty in life and romanticize life and create very meaningful relationships and be able to express words in very beautiful ways I think it does me really well. however I worry that this characteristic of mine causes me to put my energy in the wrong places and that backfires on me because this affects my entire self self-concept and as a result affects my self-development and holds me back from becoming my full potential " SubhanAllah, real... all of these resonate very deeply.

    JazakAllah Khayran, as a revert who recently turned 18 and really has zero idea where to begin with anything, this has truly and genuinely helped me. All of my life I was looking for something to make sense, I wanted to find my purpose. Coming from an atheist background and a mother who's heavily anti-religion, and then alhamdulillah finding Islam- it's been both thrilling and terrifying. I reverted but had no idea how to detach myself and to truly let Allah take care of everything. This video feels like the perfect sign and push for me to begin perusing the best version of myself. God bless you.

Everything moves so fast and I feel like I can't catch up with things around me, including my home life, school and religion. I dwell on my younger self, my past happiness and saddness as a way to cope and forget the current moment. I hold a lot of attachment to my younger self and people in my life in a way that is more harmful than good, I want to deny it but I can't. It's scary to let go but i know I have to so I can truly happy and free. May Allah make it easier for all of us. Ameen

I used to be quite emotional when reminiscing about my childhood, but now, when those feelings arise, I remind myself that this world is temporary. As we grow, we all move forward in our lives, and it's natural to part ways. Instead of dwelling on the past, I find comfort in knowing that in Jannah, we will be reunited with our loved ones. This belief helps me stay focused on my self-development journey. Thank you for this beautiful reminder :)

My friends, theyre lovely. They got me through it. I spent the whole of 2023 to get over them, about how nice the people were because I recently had to get accustomed to a new surrounding because i joined a new institution for my academics. I thought and sometimes still think of myself as patches of memory, laid in the sun to dry out. I think, I know Alhumdulilah that im startingto get better, may Allah SWT help me and all of us in becoming better versions of ourselves. Jazaak’Allah

    Before watching this video, I did not even realise I was so attached to old versions of myself. I often think that the true version of me was me in the past, when I was so passionate and motivated and fit more standards held by this dunya. I feel the current version of me is ruined and altered, someone who’s not really me. I think of past versions of myself and think about my potential; I stay up thinking about all the things I could’ve achieved and all the different decisions I could’ve made, so that I wouldn’t become the person that I am right now. What you made me realise is that the only version of me that exists now is my current version. The past me no longer exists, it only exists in our deceitful reconstructive memory that are constantly changing depending on our ever changing perceptions. I think it’s time to work towards not having this lack mentality which causes us to overthink about our decisions, about what we lost in the way, about what we could’ve been. May Allah help us detach from this dunya, and remember how every stage in our life only exists for a tiny fraction in the time line of the universe, how everything is meaningless except when we submit our will to Allah. May Allah guide us and make it easier for us, Ameen. (Jazakallah khair for making such a beautiful and inspiring video)

    Thank you so much for this message, it really spoke to me 💖 I too struggle with letting go of old things, be it material possessions or relationships, but I never thought that "relationships" would include the one I have with my old self. I can kind of see that I'm obsessed with holding on to how I felt months or even years ago, fearing that if I let it go then it meant nothing. But I'm slowly beginning to realize that it's okay to let that go. It doesn't mean that those relationships or your suffering meant nothing. In fact it's their temporary nature that makes them so important. They came in your life for a time to teach you something, and now its time for something new to take that place. This video felt really soothing and also quite relatable. Thank you again!

I tied so much of my identity to physical things and felt sentimental about things that can have meaning without physically being around me/belonging to me. If you lose everything as a Muslim, but still have your islam that’s the ONLY thing that matters. This is such a beautiful perspective thank you for sharing with us.

    This really hit deep tbh. I am also a deeply emotional and sentimental person and while I love that I am able to feel things so deeply it had hurt me more than I think is normal. I have also noticed that I tend to be more attached to people and our relationship with each other than they would. Looking back to how life was and literally grieving places, people, friendships, experiences and parts of me than no longer exist has become so unhealthy, and like you mentioned, affects self-development and being able to just let go and focus on what is actually important. I don't want to become completely indifferent to my memories and parts of my life because they are still a part of me and made me who I am today, but I want to be able to develop a healthy way of reminiscing without grieving and wasting tears on something that is long gone. They were there at that point of time because that's what was best for me then, and they are no longer there because that is what is now best for me. I also like to think the reason why things changed or were taken away from me is Allah's way of helping me stop being so attached to things that won't matter in the long run. It adds to character development and spiritual growth. Afterall this Dunya is temporary. It does feel freeing when things you used to get so sentimental about have less of an emotional impact on you than before. And what helps the most with that is remembering the end goal, which is Jannah, and that this earth is not our forever home. This was a much needed video, thank you!

    I found myself comparing my current self who is struggling to make it through academically and socially with younger versions of myself where I was bright and had friends. It made me feel like a failure despite the work I've been doing on myself to be more accountable for myself. I penned a letter to the version of myself that wants to stay safe and seek familiar patterns, for reaching me where I am but also letting it go because it's holding me back more than it is pushing me forward. Your video affirms this decision I've taken for myself, thank you so much!

    Lately, I’ve been revisiting past experiences, particularly negative ones, and because of that I’ve been sorta grieving how “if my younger self met me right now, she would be devastated.” Until now, that has been my source of motivation to pursue my journey of discipline and change since it angered me how my younger self would’ve wanted best for me, which I could not achieve. But watching this video offered me a new perspective, and it reminded me that all these things have past. While I will still continue to use these experiences to fuel my inner drive, my younger self would also think I deserve a peace of mind.

    There are so many circumstances around us we are so unaware of, your younger self wouldn’t have known that your life would have stopped because there was a pandemic, or that would’ve been hardships placed in your life beyond your control limiting your potential, we can’t hold ourselves to expectations from our past selves who don’t know what current you has gone through - this makes us perceive ourselves from an unfair and biased lens which hold us back from realising that maybe what your past self wanted isn’t what you need and there’s also that potential that if you had achieved what you had hoped to achieve by now, there’s no certainty that you would be happier, more content, more secure. We don’t know of certainty of the lives and situations we have not lived yet, so the best we can do is find contentment in where we already are and just give your best in whatever you do and if you know you’re doing those two things, that is enough ^_^

    This video couldn't have come to me at such a perfect time, I went through this struggle for three whole years after graduating, I felt so lost and hopeless, I felt like I was stuck and just detached myself from things that benefited me and attached myself to my "past" where I felt like I was at the best point in my life, my life felt like it was spiralling, until this Ramadan came, I started feeling myself again after so long, I stopped using my phone as much and instead went on long walks, my mind has been clearer since I started letting go, I kept feeling like the past was the only place I belonged, but I was wrong, Alhamdulillah that I'm not alone in this journey of letting go of the past, It felt like everyone else had their lives sorted and I was the only one not moving on, finally something I can actually relate to, jazakallah sis, may Allah accept Your ibadah, give you peace and happiness and allow you to flourish♥️

    What are the things we find ourselves attached to in this life that may not be necessarily relevant or present anymore in our lives and how is it affecting our self-development process? I've been attached to the person I was before covid and grieving the person who I was - the person who had ambition and drive to get things done, the person who had passions in life. But once covid happened, I seemed to loose everything and it felt like I was failure in life, useless, defected, hopeless and I had pretty much mentally gaved up on life, with no hope of a future where I would become a better person. Mentally I'm better, my circumstances are better, and I have hope, but my actions and bad habits that resulted from these negative self-concepts have made me stagnant, feeling stuck in life for years now, feeling so far behind everyone, ashamed of the person I've become and avoiding talking about my struggles so people don't see me such a bad state, feeling completly alone in life depsute being surrounded by peoppe and unsure how to pull myself up and push myself towards the right direction. It went from being attached to the person I was before covid to now being attached to that hopeless version of myself, and not letting go of that pain and memories. I really appriate what you said in the end, about remembering there are things that are much, much bigger than ourselves and to use Islam as a guiding light, and asking what Islam says. This life is so fast paced and can feel so overwhelming, that a daily reminder that this dunya is not the answer to our problems and should not be what we hold closest to our hearts, but that Allah, An-Noor, Al- Haadi, At taw-waab is what should fill our hearts.

    It takes a lot to recognise and process the states you were in, reflecting upon what about it made you unhappy, and wanting to take the necessary steps to "un-stuck" yourself (whilst also being self-aware about the detrimental parts of your behaviour at that point in time). Give yourself credit and inshaAllah, with Allah's guidance, you'll be able to see how far you've come and that should push you to keep going and accept the person you are today!

I was really sad after that, knowing that I will probably never see them again. I was really really really attach to those memories but now they're gone, but al hamduliLlah I know that everything happens for a reason and maybe its because, rightly, I was too attached to them and that I need to let go of them to move on and let go of the past and detach like you said ❤ Thank you for sharing your thoughts it really helps ☺💗

    Not Ali dawah😭. I liked the video though and I can appreciate the effort you put into editing this. Anyways, I agree with what you said about detaching from this dunya and being able to live a fulfilled life once you get to that point. I feel like I’ve also been trying to do the same thing because otherwise your happiness begins to lie on your life circumstances. Yes everyone has sad moments but you just won’t be at peace when something bad happens. However, I just don’t know how to detach. It’s like how do I even go about doing that? I feel like that’s something I’ve been trying to figure out for some time now. It feels like I’m trying to solve a puzzle lol.

    You have to be conscious in your decisions towards detachment. When you find your mind wandering towards things you don't know is going to happen, has already happened and you can't do anything to change that happening etc etc you have to stop yourself and then go through a list in your mind about what about your current situation are you grateful for. It might also help with actively removing things which make you wonder, delete that chat, unfollow those people, throw that diary away etc etc I guess that would be my best advice!!

    SUCH A BEAUTIFUL POST! GO GIRL! I have worked for more than 10years now, at the end of last year just got moved to a different position and I was really pushing myself really hard to work through it all. lack of sleep, anxiety kicked in, my hand had frequent tremors and ears ringing. this year I got laid off with hundreds of people. I realized I had worked myself so hard and felt I was wasting my time for Dunya. From the severance pay the first thing I really wanted to do was go to Umrah. I did and safe to say none of the physical nervous systems were activated recently. I know that giving myself to this Dunya wasn't going to be profitable for me in the Afterlife. Still trying to figure out what to do next, but I know what I need to avoid :) Hasbunallah Wanikmal Wakil Nikmal Maula Wanikman Nasir

    wallahi i thought that when i was 11, like growing up Muslim, we're taught to prepare for death so early and it does make you existential as a child, but having this frame of mind helps so much when you deal with hardships and I'm so so so grateful to be muslim and to come full circle with it. I do think it's still important to have a balance of the both though - we have to be passionate about life to be able to fulfill some of the demands of the dunya which are interrelated to the relationships important to us like being a good daughter, a good sister etc and these are just as important to getting into jannah inshallah... we have to use the tools of this dunya to be able to be well prepared for what's to come after

    What an incredible video. I've never seen anything more relatable. You hit all the right topics, everything I've felt and am feeling now that I'm done with my high school boards. I have my uni entrance exam in 3 days, and it's challenging, but instead of focusing on studying, I start to think about all the relationships that went wrong, how one of my close friends turned out to be a supporter of the terrorist apartheid 'state' that's butchering Palestinians (Don't get me wrong, I don't regret 'losing' that friend, it's better I know their real face), how I wasted so much of my precious time with a guy who eventually took the Shahadah(which I'm sure was heavily motivated by his 'love' for me; he knew that I would only ever be with a Muslim man. He liked me and I kinda sorta liked him at some point but ew anyways), learnt the Deen with so much interest, asked me for more about the faith and then randomly decided one day that polytheism made more sense, how everyone seems to give zero crap about our history, our moments together, all the laughs we shared even if they were brief and how I think about them all the time. I could go on. But this video put a lot of things into perspective. Thank you. May Allah reward you with the highest ranks of Jannah. Ps: I want to clarify that I don't date and have never dated, if the stuff about the guy in the above paragraph gave that idea. We've never even shook hands (obviously). I wasted my time by texting him, he had me believe that he was finding Allah. When I told my best friend how he said that he found 'peace' in polytheism, when he had thanked me just a month earlier for guiding him to Allah, she told me, "Let's see if that peace lasts in Akhirah". LOL.

    Thank you for your comment and I love seeing how people from different realms of beliefs are still able to meet me in the middle, it's super cool. I guess how I see it from the islamic perspective is that, having that direction from religion grounds us with the answers behind 1) why we exist followed by 2) a consciousness about consequences of our actions from that understanding of what comes after we die, which helps in giving reason to the actions we do everyday, in framing why situations don't work out and having guidance towards a direction to take. So we see it as we have autonomy over our actions but not on the outcomes of life, so if I know I'm living my life Islamically, I don't have to worry about not having trust in myself spiralling or going tangent if I'm conscious of actions that are objectively good and objectively prohibited from the perspective of our creator, who holds objectivity across everything in creation - including the outcomes of this life! Not trying to impose my beliefs! I'm just sharing why I don't think me personally find it dangerous to let go of my past selves because I feel grounded in Islam, I hold no expectation for you to feel the same way but thought you mind find that interesting!
