The Lonely Muslim - Short Film
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 22 мар 2017
- A Short film on finding good company based on the struggles of real people. Our story follows the struggles of Ahmad, a 3rd year university student, coming to grips with his loneliness as he searches for a good friend.
Written, filmed and edited in about 2 weeks for a McMaster MSA film festival, this short film took us a couple of months to finish up with the time that was spent after the contest, making significant fixes to the film; sound-editing for noise reduction, color grading for a better mood, re-arranging scenes, etc.
It took us awhile, but insha'Allah you like it!

being alone is better than surrounding by people who forget Allah :)!
Aina Rashid May Allah allow our times of feeling alone to be used to remember Him.
Definitely :)
@Bilal Khalid Alhamdulillah you're never alone with dhikr of ALLAH..it takes time sometimes to develop brotherhood sisterhood amongst the muslims
Ameen
And dying alone is the only peaceful way out.. :- life
i burst out of tears after watching this because i alone understand what it feels like to be alone ..........my life is exactly like this ......may Allah grant me the good friends who leads me in his path...ameen
Ameen. It's really tough to go through, but Allah only tests people with what they can bear, May Allah grant you the patience. If you need someone to chill with, though it would be over skype or over PS3 or something, feel free to message us, will keep you in our duas!
-Ahmad
Ameen
Assalamualaikum...my situation is still same 😑
I’m a Muslim loner too
Bro I love u all because you feel like me and it is very important to make sure that we are not misguided from others
Remember there was a Muslim brother around 2019 that asking your permission to make your videos (this one and 2 others) as his research object.
He was my friend who introduced me to the way of sunnah, we used to live and go to mosque together he was a good Muslim but qaddarullah he passed away last year and now when I see your videos I can't help but remember him, I feel deeply lost but the only thing that I could do for him is to ask Allah ﷻ to give him Jannah al-Firdaus al-A'ala,
Thank you... For giving him permission to use your videos
may Allah ﷻ give us salvation in this dunya and akhirah
I know this feeling.,. I'm. Lonely alone sad lost. I'm 42. Lost my one and only best friend. My tears hurt my heart aches I ask Allah for guidance. For sabr. For strength. For love.
Mona Ul-Hasan That sounds extremely difficult.
Keep your head up. When Allah takes something, he returns it with something better. May Allah reward your patience and surround you with the best of people that love and support one another!
are you okay now?
Mona Ul-Hasan How are you now?
mona ul-hasan - your state is because you have not yet found the One True Living God who is alive and will bring you peace, joy, love and fulfilment if you come to Him - the Lord Jesus Christ is God who came to Earth to save the broken hearted
Salam alkium sis
I can very much relate my situation to that guy in the video. I am also in my college 3rd year.I reverted to Islam last year and since then I started feeling alone as after accepting Islam I couldn't be with the people who use women centric abusive words very often :( The most unfortunate part is that almost all the Muslim guys of my college are non practising ones and often use abusive language and are same in behaviour as Non Muslims. No difference between the Non Muslims and Muslims of my college except by name!! I often feel depressed about my loneliness and that why Muslims aren't Practicing their religion when they get it as a gift from their birth onwards! This non practicing of Islam by today's generation of Muslims in many colleges is making me sad :(Thank you guys for making this video, I will make Allah SWT my best friend and hope to get good company in future. May Allah SWT guide us all :)
karthik vasudevan SubhanAllah, that's a very difficult situation and an unfortunate reality of the state that we are in. "Why Muslims aren't practicing their religion when they get it as a gift..." That's such a good point and a reminder for myself as someone gifted with Islam at birth. May Allah grant you the best company for this life and the hereafter, even when it seems like that may be impossible because of what you see around you, Allah can find you the best person with the best character and speech amongst all the people you see, at the time that it is best for you.
Muslim Skit Bros May Allah SWT strengthen you guys to do much more for our deen. Ameen :)
Jazak Allahu khairan for sharing this. It is good to know I’m not the only one
Very sorry, may Allah protect you and give you what you wish, Alhamdulilah for Islam and welcome back.
Being a convert is a very lonely experience.
Wow this video is relatable. Inshallah I'll find good company one day, but until then I'll keep making dua.
+Rehan Bari May Allah grant you the best of company in this world and the hereafter. We're always here if you need.
-Ahmad
Muslim Skit Bros pray for me too...💖✌
Shaz Win yes of course! May Allah grant you the best if company who can spend time together not only in this life but in the highest level of jannah.
You not alone brother
May Allah help you don't worry
It's better to be lonely in the world and be happy in jannah with the prophet saw and believers seeing Allah while He is pleased with u than hang around with fake friends and end up suffering in hell for the rest of your life
I feel exactly the same and my university experience has been similar. I socialise with everyone, get along with everyone and have a good heart, but finding a close friend has been difficult. I try my best to stay around good company for the sake of Allah and my hereafter. I’ve been in positions where i realised how bad company can change you. I don’t like the gossip, the bad talks etc. It’s really tough because you take Islam seriously, and therefore not many people relate to you, even Muslims sadly. However, I’m doing this for the sake of Allah and I’ve realised that it’s a test I’m being put through. InshaAllah, one day I’ll find a close friend who benefits me and is good company. It’s a struggle, when you’re left out because of it but I’m doing it for Allah’s and cannot compromise my deen.
literarly the same the gossip and bad talk really make my head dizzy one becomes allergic to it.
Take heart! I am a 67 year old Muslimah who reverted to Islam at 42 years. I have found that to walk the path of a Muslim is to be lonely (for human companionship) at times. However, a Muslim should NEVER, EVER EVER despair of the Mercy of Allah (swt)!! Strive to make the Qur'an your companion. In all these 25 years of being Muslim, I have only found a few sisters (my age) who love to read Qur'an. We met in a Tajweed class and regularly saw one another for 3 years; then it ended when the teacher took a full time job. What i'm saying is, who cares about phony people who don't even bother to remember your name? Remember to say "inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raaji'un" in such instances and keep it movin'. Then, pick up the Qur'an and read its words & Allah (swt) (in His infinite Mercy) will dispel your heartache and sense of rejection and provide you with something better. Also, remember to ask Allah (swt) to not leave you for the "blink of an eye."
Mashallah may Allah bless you and make it easy for you and give you Paradise
@@clasher3123 Ameen & wishing you the same!
I used to feel alone even when i'm surrounded with people because I felt like all what they talked about are useless or not interesting to me. I'd rather not waste my time on that. With time, i started distancing myself and started thinking deeply of who I really am and focused on myself for awhile, although i'm alone, but i'm not lonely anymore because atleast I haven't lost myself nor did I lost Allah, he's always with me. And as a lot of you say that it would be nice to have a friend.. ofcourse it would, and I do seek for a good friend insha'Allah till the hereafter, but if that didn't happen, then there was a reason behind it.
sara Really sorry you've had that struggle, one I think many of us can relate to as finding sincere people who find interest and joy in conversing about issues of life and beneficial topics can be difficult.
With that said, the Prophet (PBUH) reminded us to "be in this life like a stranger, or a wayfarer (someone who travels on foot) or a traveller"
This advice was given to Abdullah Ibn Umar (RA), and he followed it until the end of his days.
More specifically, the 'traveller' might interest you. The traveller is someone who keeps his burdens in life very light - he has no choice
because he has no set home, or furniture, or even a bookshelf or any material possession. This is someone who actually performs better and
contributes more positively when he is by himself. He lives life quietly and is more satisifed that way - that being said, his love for Allah (SWT)
and contributions to the community are no less than others.
May Allah (SWT) reward you for your sincerity, and introduce a friend in your life who has similar aspirations and allow you to contribute
to the community in the best way possible. Ameen!
Yes Subhan Allah
Me thank you for sharing that, Jazaki allahu khayran. I completely agree with you
Me and the other thing is, you might have a sincere friend who really cares about you, but they don’t really understand what being alone feels like but you know what, like you said it’s all for a reason. Maybe it’s done so Allah can make us stronger people because ultimately this makes us realise our goals and purpose.
Indeed
I just found this video. This is me. It's like I've got my own Jihad. Constantly trying to distance myself from the only friends I have. Then I get lonely so after a few days I get back in touch. It's just a constant cycle. I cry because I have no Muslim friends. My father was Muslim but he passed Allah yerhamo. I speak little arabic so I struggle to read Qur'an. Not only this but my mother's side are strict orthodox so it's all in secret. I pray to Allah one day he'll explain why these events happened in my life. I'm so lonely I cry in despair. I hate hiding that I'm a muslimah.
Shayma Saleh
Shayma, make constant dua to Allah in private especially in the last third of night..Allah will definitely change your situation sister. Just be patient.
Salam sis. Are you okay? How are you now?
Sometimes being alone can make more closer to ALLAH.... Btw I am also a lonely Muslim. I talk to Allah, and I talk to myself.
I'm a Muslim loner and I love Allah
May Allah bless you and accept from you!
Muslim Skit Bros
Inshallah
Fearless loner Hugs🤗
I cried a lot when he started reading Quran
I dont know why but I'm dead sure that this film describes my life and that guy exactly describes me!🙁.Introvert,shy,alone...anything U could imagine is happening with me.How weird it feels when U realize that no one is paying attention to U !😢 May Allah give us SABR ! AMEEN
May Allah make us go to heaven inshallah
This story describes perfectly my life right now, especially when he was talking to his parents telling them that he's fine and he's got friends. I study abroad and I am a second year university student. I don't know but somehow I can't make friends here although I am a sociable person. In class, outside class, I am always alone and all I do is just look at other students talking to each other and hanging out together. I find it difficult because you know at least you should have contact with one person so you can get informed about school programs and exams ectt,, but I have no contact and I am not even in their facebook groups. I often look at the university page on facebook to see what its going on, I see their activities and events. And most of the time they go party... It hurts but alhamdouliah sometimes I say to myself maybe being alone will make me closer to Allah
Alhamdulillah Allah has given you the strength to stay patient. That can definitely be challenging, esspecially when it feels like that toxic environment is the only one there. Don't feel like you're doing anything wrong, if you find good Muslims and you do your best to get to know each other and keep up but they don't seem intersted, you'll find sincere Muslims that do care. May Allah bless you with the best of company and reward your patience!
Darkness to Nur allah bless you. Keep making dua
Just imagine that all of your siblings are working but you're the only one who can't find a job, surely the Quran is the only thing to turn too.
U r not alone
My life is exactly like this 😢 I just knew I'm not only one who is feeling this way
+muwahib sicid May Allah grant you patience and the best of company for this life and the hereafter. You're definitely not alone.
“A man is upon the religion of his best friend, so let one of you look at whom he befriends.” We all know this. But the reality is, for a lot of people finding good company is really hard. It can feel like a lonely battle, avoiding friends that might be nice and fun, but not the best influence, while looking for someone who isn't just a friend, but a companion for the hereafter.
With that said, our approach to this problem was being patient, asking Allah for help and finding companionship with the Quran. But what's some practical advise you guys have for someone in this situation?
Muslim Skit Bros and who is a better friend than the Qur’an
will do in sha Allah :)
I feel like volunteering or helping people out would make them feel better while making sure they still seek for Allah's help through duaa/Quran, they might find a good friend, who knows? That's what i'm trying to do. And it's important that they don't lose hope in Allah because it might've been a test, and by being patient, you'll have great rewards in the hereafter.
Me so true mashallah
I don’t know any advice for this. I need advice as I’m going through this. I made Allah my best friend so I feel less lonely, but from time to time I still feel isolated not being able to relate to many of those around me
I feel him, im in my first year there are Muslims but still they make me fill alone it becomes depressing at times but I know Allah has better plans for me.
yes brother . Allahu akbar
I’m definitely one of the lonely souls out here. At work, I’m known as the friendliest, bubbly colleague but each time I exit my office building after work I can feel swarms of loneliness come attacking my chest. I’ve no friends at all and my companion at night are just some quiet music and staring at the walls.
People do not want to hang out with you, betraying you when you trust them but know this for sure Allah is with each and every one whom experience this situation because Allah only test us to see who is willing to give up everything and everyone just only for him.
Nice keep going and help people and you will find the great prize inshaa allah
i feel this short movie, it is really like me, well i live in a very small town in Australia, and i guess i,m the only muslim here, i was so sad being alone but suddenly i remember that ALLAH always with me, Alhamdulillah, shukran
Stay strong brother/sister! You are not the only one. May Allah make it easy on us!
Allah is always us :)
Just because you are lonely and want a partner don't rush towards marriage even if you've been trying for years and not found anyone. You know what's worse than been lonely and single in campus and later life? It's been lonely as a divorced man after marrying in haste to someone not suitable and then she/he leaves you and you get seperated from your kids.
The power of short-films: powerful meanings in little time. Great job 👍
socaman123 Good point, that's why we like them too
Suddenly I think that I can relate to this but I think sometimes it's better to be alone so you can really focus on your deen,what's best for you and other people can't influence (negatively).
Great point, sometimes we find ourselves in difficult situations that we wish would simply go away, but we forget that whatever happens to us is from Allah and therefore best for us, simply a matter of how we respond to it.
Its Soukaina r
If people have a problem. It is not our problem.
Assalamwalakum wa rahmatullah
O Allah protect us from evil of our lonliness and from shaitan and his whisperings in our lonliness
Ameen Ya Rabb wal Alhamdulillahi Rabbil alamin
Ameen and May he guide us to the best of company who draw us nearer to Him.
Wow, I can relate to this so much. I thought being around many other muslims will help me feel less alone but then when the gheebah started or listening to music I realized how lonely I felt. I thought there was something wrong with me but it’s nice to know I’m not the only one that goes through this.
This story touch my heart a lot because it describe my life perfectly. I have experienced this situation in college as well as at home. Even your parents do not want to talk you and you do not do anything necessary for them to do this to me but I always have patient and pretty sure Allah will help one day.
Still one of the best Islamic short films ever
SubhanaAllah.. such good work ! And so touching .. may Allah reward you guys immensely..and may Allah help and strengthen all those lonely Muslims !
+Reshma Iqbal jazakaAllah khair, we pray this video has comforted and aided anyone struggling with loliness.
Being alone is sad but a blessing at the same time me myself have no friends as I I stopped being in contact with them for the best as they were not good company and I also have no family as they want nothing to do with me, I only have Allah and I feel blessed Alhamdullilah.
This is my life. I'm a female convert (21) and have no one to talk to. I'm shy and can't approach to sisters.. I spend every day alone 😔
As salmu alkium and welcome to the Muslim family! Sorry if it doesn't feel like much of a family right now, Insha'Allah you will find the best people to talk to very soon!
P.S. Feel free to reach out if you would like us to connect you with some sisters we know like the New Muslim Care group, or our own sister :)
DRVGONFLY do you have any plan for getting married sooner in future? If you're than I might help you by the grace of Allah.
Stay Strong and keep making dua. Try finding a nearby mosque and they can connect you with good practising sisters inShaAllah
Aslamu Alikum sister in sha Allah you can talk to me ww can be friend.
Its very relatable to my life.. i always pray to Allah(swt) to hold me firm to my deen and befriend me with good peoples.
Assalamualaikum, this was painfully understandable, I am alhamdulillah 3rd year and literally every second, every frame captured on this short film defines my life. Like even those few interactions he had, and the time alone. Indeed when Allah SWT is always with us, we have someone to lend us a place to be happy and grieve to. Man, added to the fact you have OCD, anxiety or anything, making good friends and enjoying life becomes a fairytale never come only to end in loneliness, the fact everyone ignored when he actually was talking was also something which angers and saddens me to the core added to that people making fun of me when speaking something really serious. Social life in university sucks, and I will smack the person who comes telling me it's not. Insha Allah, if I am proven wrong in this, wallahi I will take back every single word about this. May Allah SWT bless us all Muslims to understand and be compassionate to one another and lower our ego and pride. May He always protect us and keep us in good company that of which who try their best to recreate the feeling of being with the sahaba of Prophet Muhammed PBUH. Ameen summa ameen.
SubhanAllah finally! 😃
haha, thanks for being patient and all the support! Working on these bigger projects is taking a bit more time, not that we shouldn't have been done a month or two ago, but insha'Allah more videos now.
P.S. Read your comment on the way home, hoping to finish this video. You know, RUclipsrs talk about the impact certain comments can have on them as a creator, and yesterday, I think we were able to relate to that.
Don't worry, we'll be replying back, but a video response of some sort perhaps :P
Muslim Skit Bros AlhamduLiLah that sounds really cool! cant wait to see what else yall do! I think as a community we really need to support eachother for the sake of Allah. especially when you see someone trying to do something good for the community InshaAllah! Would you guys like to do a colaboration of some sort. we have a couple of Ideas that could work keeping in line with the type of content you all produce! We would love to share your channel with our RUclips family! please send us an email at omgmuslims@gmail.com so we can talk more if interested. barakaAllah feek.
Salam alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuhu brother and sister, I'm a reverted Muslimah 3 years ago. Alhamdulilah. I'm Vietnamese but I live in Germany, and I know I have always Allah SWT near me. Even though I pray, I make a lot of Du'a, but this life here makes me really lonely.
But Alhamdulilah. I accepted und understood, these are our tests. We should pass them to strengthen our Iman and to close to Allah SWT.
May Allah SWT make the things easier with us. Amin Yarab 🤲☪️
Thank you for making this video ! It just touched my heart because i've been in the same situation last year and i'll have to face it again for the next 2 years ..
I saw my self in every scene of the video ..
this was a great reminder .. jazaka Allahou khayran
Imène kt glad you enjoyed the video and that it might have helped ease your struggle, but really sad to hear you have been going through this for so long. May Allah reward your patience and grant you the best of company!
how did you manage to solve the problem?
Should i be happy or sad realising that i am not the only one feeling this way?
Sarah Nawaz It is sad to know many people face this struggle, but comforting to know you are not alone.
oh i loved this skit.
May Allah reward us all with truth friend ya rab🤲
Mashallah! It's really a beautiful work. I can relate to this a lot.
+Maira Nguyen Thanks for sharing, Insha'Allah you find the best of company one day!
I am like this person, wallahi ever since I became serious with deen my best friend for 7 years who no matter what happens will always stay with me left me for disbelievers and people who backbites a lot ( I also hear them talk about me )
But, what helps me is yo think about the 2nd most favourite being after our nabi (saw), Ibrahim (as). Abandoned yet successful
How did you find me and make a vid about me?! Anyways Allah is with us Alhamdulillah the ayah at the end was so calming for me. Although i go through that everyday, that assuring promise that Allah is with me is what keeps me going. Never loose hope in His mercy🧡
exactly the same problem I am going through! I do not have any friends as you have shown in your video. May Allah help me to keep my IMAN safe.
My life in a video.😢
😭 Really sorry to hear. A lot of us have been there, May Allah give you the patience to stay positive and close to Him during these lonely times and grant you the best of company at the time that is best for you. Feel free to message us if you just want someone to talk to.
-Ahmad
Same like me
I'm a loner aswell
MashaAllah I really like this film. Its very insipire. Its reminder. Thank you. Good luck!
Wow great video! Beautifully shot... and the editing on point as always.
Thanks! Special thanks to our DP (cinematographer).
Btw I really enjoyed watching this video,it's well made and may Allah help you do even better InshAllah!
Jazaka'Allah Khair
that was beautiful, masha'Allah
aavisa butt Thanks!
I feel him so much..i am an introvert maybe thats why abit hard to find friends easily
Soo heart touching wow beautiful vid mashallah
Doa for me may i get good companion or will build family that help to remind one another of our ultimate goal that is Allah..time is short.
This was really good man! Nice job!
Zobi Hussaini Thanks!!
Mashallah loved the video!
Glad to hear!
This is the lot of the “hidden tzaddikim” whom have the role of giving the world the right to exist.
To be a practitioner of trust. I am a Noahide who truly identifies with the character in this film.
I am inspired by the Muslim people, especially when they walk o lonely path. There are those who are righteous that are hidden. The purpose is to spare the world of G-ds judgment so that others will have more time.
Great video, MashAllah!
Thanks!

I feel bad for Muslims in the West. Especially the lonely ones. I guess it's better for them to get engaged at a young age like 18 before they start college or late high school so they can have a partner that joins their journey. Cuz it gets tough in our Western Culture! I actually respect the Muslims who get engaged later in their high school. They make very cute and cool couples.
This happens in the east too. If you just look around you'll find many Muslims like this everywhere in the world. I know because I've seen this in Sri Lanka
Will we see a sequel to this masterpiece????
Well a few people have asked that now, so maybe...?
This is a really great video! Keep up the awesome work!
Danny Dalah thanks!
Muslim Skit Bros can’t wait to see more videos! If you have three minutes could you check out my comedy song about college? I feel like you’d like it, hope I’m not bothering by asking and awesome work
I would just say focus on your deen 🤲
Nice video story.May ALLAH bless me with good company.
+Abdul Haseeb Ameen! May Allah grant you the best of company, not just good company, but great company :). (if you ever wanna skype or play ps3/steam, feel free to message us iA)
Don't give up unto mercy of Allah s.w.t.
I’m kind of like this person!🤕🤕🤕
Simple video,but it explains a lot about loneliness,you have clearly picturized the loneliness, I don't what to say,iam studying in college and iam experiencing same like This,is there something wrong with me?am i a boring person?iam fed up with this😞😞
masha Allah, its so bad, but,, im feeling what guys feeling if like this,, if u lonely u can find me, i want to be with u, i want be happines for men like this,,, ALLAH with us, insha Allah
He is in search of good companions. And they're no more
Many time I am also faces these type of situation.
Experiencing burn out proscrastination..forgot about things that need to be done worried about not getting married..doa for me pals
I can relate, being an asian Muslim I feel distant sometimes.
Mike Phom Sorry to hear that happens, but unfortunately we have a bit of an Arab or Desi mindset and social bubble we need to get rid of.
A lonely muslim, i was born by parents who are from twi different cultures, my mom is german, and was brought up as a catholic, but when she married my father, my father wanted her to take on islam and when my siblings and i were born he wanted us to follow islam, i just did without hesitation. As i was always taught that evryone from every religion and culture and even those without a religion are still humans and gods creation. I took some interest in islam but with my father he has too many expectation he say we should study and follow islam butnat the same time he was out of the house i undersrand he has to work everyone has, but he never really bought us islamic books i always had to either burrow or someone with a good heart gifted me with islamic books, my fahter wasnt always a nicer husband to my mother either. He would always blame her if we didnt pronounce the arabic language in the quran properly
That's so sad, may allah guide him. I'm pretty sure your mother has went through a lot but insha'allah she is going to be rewarded
For being patient
3:42 if they don’t reply ones, don’t ask them again. I tell that to my father too
This video is so true. It makes me want to cry. So, where's the happy ending? Or any other continuation of his struggle? I would really love to see the continuation of this video. Hopefully not something that's fake. I really like this video, it's just soooo true.
I have a revert friend, which lives very far away. He also did what the guy in this video did: going to the mosque/ places of meeting, which takes a lot of courage to do if alone, but only to be ignored.. he tried his best to start conversing with others, but.. the rest, you know, like in this video. He really tried hard. Now, he didn't feel good to go to mosque anymore. He used to go to pray there, but then some people scolded him because he didn't wear proper attire.. people also promised to go out together with him, but only that once..
it's really hard for him, and, i dont know what to do. actually, he just want somebody to go to the dinner with.. but there's nobody..
people just invite him to this and this event, but there's nobody to talk with, even when he goes there. he did went to the mosque, remember? only to be ignored, or being told you should do this and that.. not getting to know more about him, and just continue to talk with their cliques, and he was left behind.
He did his best. But all of them are not working.. and he's still lonely. What to do? How can he solve this problem?
Second first of apologies for not replying back to you earlier, your comment hits a real sad reality and trend that we have been seeing, particularly with muslim reverts feeling isolated. May Allah bless you for trying to help him and reaching out for help and may Allah grant him the best of company!
Part of our delay in releasing a sequel has been just that, providing a realistic and sensible follow up solution on top of this vidoe's call to action to use one's struggle with loneliness to connect to Allah and befriend the Qur'an.
At this point in time the additional advice I can personally provide, and I will reach out to a convert friend to reply back and think of more suggestions, would be the following (based on what has helped me):
1. Getting involved through volunteering and community work. One of team members for this channel has mentioned over again how crazy it is that we would not have gotten as close or spent as much time together had we not been working on making these videos as a community project. And personally, I am an introverted person that tends to prefer more deep conversations and working on projects with people for social time than watching a movie or playing basketball and so I have learned to use that to my advantage rather than focus on searching for those friends I can chill with and be around. Perhaps looking for a function in an msa, club or group that friend has interest and abilities in?
2. Turn to family as friends. This might be more difficult depending on one's situation, but family can be a great source of friendship, I know my brothers are my closest friends whom I spend most of my time with. As well, the Prophet (PBUH) told us the person we should prioritize for friendship is our mother, if one is able to serve their mother and parents and become friends with them, this is a big reward and gate to Jannah as well as solution to loneliness iA.
3. Recognize their are degrees of friendship and sincere friends that become lifetime companions are gems that are difficult to find. Attending social events to meet people can help even if it might feel those people are just event or get together friends you might have some enjoyment with at those times but don't stay much longer. Regardless, if a person keeps looking, pursuing their own interests and doing what they can, the rest is with Allah and Allah never disappoints us, even if we may not see the result of our struggle at times.
Finally, new muslim networks might be of help as shared struggles and experiences tend to bring people together. As well, you can let them know they can message us to skype or play some ps4 or steam any time iA :)
I apologize for the deficiency in this answer and hope it is of some help.
-Ahmad
Relatable
this so related to me allah knows but their is only with thing gets me going is my faith in allah and i look up and say i have you 😥😥😥
Very nice
Thanks!
i think you should film a sequel...
That's actually something we talked about before. Not toooo sure if it will happen, as we're trying to explore different video styles. But, if we do it one day, we'll make sure to come back to this comment and let you know lol
thats me and my whole traumatizing uni life
I would've been like forget them besides all I need is a private room and my laptop life is too short to give any attention to those who talk over, at or through you. Do what's good for you and forget thrm.
+33Chapter its true that sometimes some people are not worth putting in all our efforts, we need to find those people that more easily reciprocate but we want to do our part anyways.
I have only met two such people in my life. One was a man who I met the day I was born and would be friends with him for the first 12 years of my life but decades apart he had to work and pay the bills. He could not show up all the time in my life but when he did it was worth it. The only reason why he was the greatest friend in my life was because I never learned friendship from anyone before him. He was the most sincere human being I've ever seen. He never told a lie nor did he say what he did not mean. He did not have any ulterior motive. However, Allah decreed that we would have to separate. He got married and had children and we did not see each other for several years and once we did we picked up where we left off. After him I fought many people including my parents and like him I used to care so much what people thought of me. I use to live a very lonely childhood and by the end of it I desired to become a killer but my friend helped me out. After he was gone I tried to fit in and tried to get people to like me to the point that I betrayed a friend of mine to make someone else happy. In the end they laughed at me and made fun of me and everything that I worked hard for meant nothing. After that day I decided to become so selfish to the point I put myself above everyone even my parents. Hurting anyone who got in the way of my ambitions to the point I would kill a child if it meant helping my ambition. I didn't care if I died or killed anyone else because I was determined to never go back to that ever again. I lived that way for years and did not want to have anyone as a friend because people are easily swayed and easily tempted. I have a lot to complain about but I did not complain because it would not help myself only working to your goals will help. Anything in the way I cut them out of my life without any remorse or regret even if it was my family. To show that I can succeed even if I am on my own. Anyone who praised me I said don't waste my time and anyone to criticized me I said bang your head on the wall. Then I went to the haram and met a woman who was the most generous human being I've ever met. She has her children who abandoned her and her mother who was crazy without any money. Threatened to be deported and was treated like a slave day and night. Her husband was gone all night and she was a slave by day poor as hell. Yet in spite of all that she gives everything she has for people she does not even know. People who treat her like garbage and she goes back to give them even more with a smile on her face. I did not treat her right due to my lack of faith in humanity. However, by the end of this trip I asked her why does she gives day and night despite what she experience. She asked that all she wanted was for me to be her friend and I told her that she has earned it. After I left and would pray for her because she's earned it and I do not say that about anyone. My point of this whole thing is this; if you wish to be my friend earn it or get lost. I am more important than you and if you die who would visit your funeral. No one but your family if you're lucky. Why give these people the time of day. Anything else you wish to learn is up to you.
🎉😂 He’s not lonely! They actually greeted him back and let him sit with them while they discussed things. They even invited him to their party 🎊. He tuned them out like a weirdo while sitting with them 📺 😂 & is also busy with school responsibilities! Try being black at the nonblack masjid & see if you get a basic warm reception like that. The excuse given will be it’s due to language or culture. I found that we must go & find or found our own community within.
would you allow me download this vidio, and share in my channel?
Oh my Allah my eyes are tearing. That's exactly me ryt . Huh 🥺😭
Same
I hope that someone addresses the following point.
When Muslims treat converts well, it's fine and good, and they'll have their rewards from Allah.
But there's a difference between treating someone well and doing charity to them, and, making them a good friend and making them like a member of their own family.
The failure to do that is a big problem, and it's one that I've not seen addressed.
Sometimes a convert has no family or close friends.
Assalamu alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh...this film is good and very motivated, I am from indonesia, can I used your film as my object of research in my thesis?, I think its important to take a permission to you..
+ahmad adhy walkium as salam wa rahamatalhi wa barakthu, great to hear you liked it! O that sounds awesome, yes of course please do, perhaps you can update us with your thesis sounds pretty interesting!
Thank you so much my brother, I think i need more information about the film, jazakallah khair
+ahmad adhy no problem, let us know what information you need. Feel free to email us at muslimskitbros@gmail.com
Relative :-)
This is my life
I am so in his place
Lions walk alone
Muslim can never be alone .......there is so much to do
This is me 🙂
One thing I'd like to say is, learn to vibe with yourself. Loneliness will never be lifelong. Allah knows the emotional and physical capacity of its creation. So, what haunts you so much, will never be permanent. Pitying yourself for being alone is never healthy. And bad times come with good times😉
I feel lonely even though I have friends... They talk about useless stuff and annoying stuff and are immature as hell. I just want at least 1 Muslim friend I can relate to but you can't find many good Muslims here... ):
Allah help me
Zuas/Duas are appreciated. Thanks
May Allah bless you with the best of company who spend their time in the best of ways and with the best of speech. It can definitely be tough and frustrating finding young people who are a bit more mature and enjoy discussing more beneficial topics. Esspecially in high school, it feels like people just want to make tafsir of trending shows, movies or sports shows then talk about life or something more interesting. But don't worry, you'll find more mature Muslims as you get older iA.
