      Hi I hope you are doing well I just want to ask how do you film your videos and edit them to make them so smooth and clean and beautiful. I don't know if you will answer this question but I was just asking this to learn from it have a great day

    Subhanallah Bahja! I just had a conversation with my friend about getting rid of bad friends and told her that having bad friends have a great impact on you. She agreed with me. Tonight, I watched your video, and this is exactly what I was telling her. You also taught me that I cant change the person, but I can set an example. That really helped me in ways that no one could ever imagine (except Allah). This video was a miracle sent down and Inshallah as I always comment, I hope you will always spread good messages no matter how you do it. Can’t wait to see you get to 100k or even 10mil cuz you deserve it tbh😊 Love youuuu from a fellow muslimah

    You are so insightful. Selfishness is an underrated form of self-care for people who are used to being overly self-sacrificing. It's uncomfortable but it forces you to be true to yourself and not someone else

    What a coincidence! i was just today saying to my mom that finally i decided to become selfish and that this is not always that awful. My mother did not understand the idea of me separating myself from people that i dont feel them adding value to my life and she always wanted me to be that social butterfly even if it is heavy on me and draining. people dont understand that u can still respect others and love them but also set boundaries and put yourself and your energy first. Iam so happy that you are spreading these ideas. i really reallllllly feel very different and very satisfied since i started to choose the people around me carefully . Thanks Bahja I wish u all the best

    thank you for the story about your friend because that really helped me. i love my friend so much and we do have our fun moments but i do feel drained afterwards even if she’s not doing anything bad. she’s very supportive and cares a lot for me, so i feel bad for thinking about this kinda of thing these days. but our habits aren’t the same, our definition of fun isn’t really the same and she’s self aware of her self deprecation/bad habits but just blows it off. it’s so true the in one ear out the other, because that’s exactly how i feel and i feel bad because i feel like i’m nagging/boring when i talk about wanting to be better. but i really realized this hanging out w my other friend who’s back from school and we can talk about self-growth and we have meaningful and fun hangouts. when i get a little into self-deprecation, it’s not a funny relatable thing to her like it is to my other friend and i feel motivated and happy after i hang out with her. but my friend (who i now go to school with, we have the same classes + major) is so nice to me but i really do keep thinking i dont want to be like her and i feel bad for it. sorry for the rant 😭😭 but i feel like i won’t find anyone like my other friend who makes me feel good and care about those things

    • @BahjaAbdi
      @BahjaAbdi  8 месяцев назад +4

      You will always find more people who are similar to you even if it takes while. Don't lose hope but also don't settle because you feel like you'll be "lonely"or have no one, sometimes that time alone is where you'll grow the most. The people you spend the most time with play a huge role in who you become so choose wisely. sending you all my love 🤍🤍

    omg true we can't save everyone, I tried to make my fiancé grow, he didn't and I just lost so much time and energy on him. And he was just not capable of understanding or just stop to self sabotage. I felt really sick when he spoke, he made me run my fastest in the gym because that's the way I release anger lmao, that was yesterday. That is the last day I saw him and I hope it will stay that way. He just cares about instant gratification, I care about the world and my people and my career in order to become something. it just does not match

    I am getting new job and my friend meant that I am not good enough for the job. I really hard stuied for months to get it and I am still studying and working on myself for changes but people don't like when they see positive changes on you. Don't listen others don't give your time to useless people around you. Every day has a end and you only person get the result of it. Trust yourself just keep to say positive and supportive things to yourself.

      being a people pleaser doesn’t mean you’ll go jannah. Be kind to your mom and your family. Have boundaries outside of that

    • @BahjaAbdi
      @BahjaAbdi  8 месяцев назад +2

      Firstly, it's never too late to change. Second, you need to change your perspective; there are so many ways to gain for your hereafter, and self-care is one of those ways. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, "Even intercourse can be charity" (in a halal manner, lol). This Hadith shows how regular habits and personal needs can be rewarded with the right intention. If you attend your workout classes and remember Allah, doing it with the intention of taking care of your body and physical well-being, it will be rewarded.
      You can perform small acts of kindness such as smiling at others, holding doors, and being kind and gentle. Burning yourself out and being a people-pleaser will cause you to resent others and can be detrimental to your hereafter.
