Before criticising please read this to avoid misconceptions: I am not saying do not go the gym or start a business. I am not saying following your desires is bad, actually i explicitly mentioned in the video that you can follow your desires and get rewarded for doing so, by self indulging for the sake of Allah. For example you get rewarded for intimacy as the prophet pbuh told us. I didn't say improving yourself is bad, but Improve yourself for the sake of Allah. Go to the gym for Allah. Actions are by intentions. I am not saying do not improve yourself. I explicitly said near the end of the video, that when you change your goal from dunya to jannah, doing the things you did on self help won't be for the sake of doing them but for the sake of Allah, just like everything should be. In the chapter of self love, I said that going to the gym for the sake of getting respect from men and attraction from women, that is an example of following your desires. An example of following your desires the good way is: you go to the gym so that your wife is attracted to you, and you want respect from men so that they listen to you for example when you give dawah(both for the sake of Allah) I am not saying do not put in effort. Yes you need to put in the effort yourself, I mentioned this in a previous video titled 'Your future is already written, just put in some effort' But this video isn't about tawakul, it's about how self help makes you independent and makes you think that you can do everything on your own without Allah SWT. Which is why I mentioned you cannot do anything without Allah SWT. If I say you couldn't have taken this breath without Allah SWT, does that mean I'm saying don't breath and just rely that Allah will suddenly make oxygen enter your lungs?? I never mentioned don't start a business or don't go to the gym(actually the opposite), I mentioned don't rely only on yourself when doing these things. Point 2 does not equal point 1.
Overall brother your intentions sele pure but you've made quite of a few false equilivnceys You've attached intention on to people And did not accurately represent the whole picture please do more reaserch before making huge claims like this your not a mufti so making a claim as big as this is a big deal I've personally used this kind of books I'm conjuction with guidance from Allah to better myself for the sake of Allah while pursuing what I want and desire within his permisablity and by his Bounty Inshallah you will be rewarded fke your efforts
bro if you sit down and say i want a very good physic and you dont do anything to achive that then nothings gonna happen.unless allah wants it and when allah wants it he isnt gonna give you the physic instantly so u will go to the gym
Yes you need to put in the effort yourself, I mentioned this in a previous video titled 'Your future is already written, just put in some effort' But this video isn't about tawakul, it's about how self help makes you independent and makes you think that you can do everything on your own without Allah SWT.

I hope this clarifies things
contradiction to belief 1 and 2 :take with reason and tawkul on allah. contradiction to belief 3 : gym should be about your health (but it isnt necessarily a must as the self improvment makes it to be ) Look I hate the self help community for so many reasons, it is basically like fast food knowledge in a way. Be careful on what Allah's words mean and make sure to always take the ayah by only what it says without improvisation. I get what you're trying to do saying life is hard ,but god can make it easy by worshipping him and consistently doing so. It is a key point that consistency in islam + consistency in your life will both help you be a better man but this will only happen if allah wills it to happen and if you push yourself to that point. Allah can show you the way but You are the one that makes the choice. I'd suggest you do some research on Duaa and how allah wills it for us. then You'll truely understand that like Adam was in heaven we on earth get represented with blessings that WE asked for but we willingly ignore either due to the shayatan our ourselves.
I don't understand your contradictions to be honest. Are you saying self help does NOT say these things? Or what? I really don't get you. I would like for you to point out where I used an ayah or a hadith in the wrong way?? I'm not trying to say life is hard at all? Where in the video do I even mention this? This isn't the message at ALL! Yes you need to put in the effort yourself, I mentioned this in a previous video titled 'Your future is already written, just put in some effort' But this video isn't about tawakul, it's about how self help makes you independent and makes you think that you can do everything on your own without Allah SWT. Which is why I mentioned you cannot do anything without Allah SWT. If I say you couldn't have taken this breath without Allah SWT, does that mean I'm saying don't breath and just rely that Allah will suddenly make oxygen enter your lungs??

People who want to do kufr will do kufr even without these books. Your in a bad mindset. Being successful in this life doesn't make you a kafir. You actually need help you are way inside your own head.
As salamu alaikum, have you actually watched the full video? I point out that these books sell you beliefs which make not depend on Allah SWT, and therefore not making dua along with other things. You cannot argue with me on this point, grab any book and it'll prove my point. Also the aim of self help is getting dunya. Everybody knows this. A muslim's aim should not be dunya rather jannah. This does not mean you sit in a cave and become a monk, what it means is that everything you do should be to worship Allah SWT. As I mentioned in the video, you can start a business and hit the gym, but do it for the sake of Allah. Entering jannah is the real success, that's what Allah SWT says in the Quran. Never did I say being successful makes you a kafir.
@@BaraaHussein_ If you're a muslim then your entire life is meant and devoted to Allah that is true. Some things promoted in these books are wrong that is true. But what words you let influence you is up to you. You can disagree with certain points and disagree at others. That doesn't make these books inheritingly bad (what you are saying). Being successful in this world does not mean you stop praying and stop doing good deeds. Allah made all of us different, if you are told by your mother that you are skinny and that you should eat more and if you do eat more, is that kufr behavior to you? You are doing things so you are perceived better. No where is that a bad thing. Doing things for others is not a bad things as long as your attention isn't to get ayesha to like you. Looking better by going to the gym so you are in better physical health is not a bad thing. If you're getting bad grades and then want to get better grades to get a job and then support your family that isn't a bad thing. If you are trying to help people who have a bad mindset let me tell you that you are literally talking to a wall. Allah doesn't help those who dont help themselves. Your way of explaining things is also in itself very bad. Its good that you are close to allah but you need to study more. When prophet would enjoy with sahaba after winning a war is that also self indulgence? When muslim men were allowed to have sex with concubines after war is that not self indulgence? When they played drums was that also self indulgence? Wearing new clothes on eid, was that also self indulgence? If you want to help other people maybe you should make a better script with hadith or ayat that actually help your claim akhi.
I didn't say improving yourself is bad??? But Improve yourself for the sake of Allah. Go to the gym for Allah. Actions are by intentions. I would like for you to highlight where I said that you shouldn't improve yourself? I explicitly said near the end of the video, that when you change your goal from dunya to jannah, doing the things you did on self help won't be for the sake of doing them but for the sake of Allah, just like everything should be. I genuinely don't understand how you got this from my video. As I haven't mentioned anything like that at all. Getting better grades can be good or neutral, are you doing it for a good job for money for Allah or are you doing it for a good job for money which is not for Allah? Please do mention where I said doing things for others is a bad thing? I would like to delete that part of the video if I said that. You can self indulge for the sake of Allah aswell? For example you get rewarded for intimacy as the prophet pbuh told us. Following your desires in the way I mentioned was bad desires like getting money for the sake of money etc. In the chapter of self love, I said that going to the gym for the sake of getting respect from men and attraction from women, that is an example of following your desires. An example of following your desires the good way is: you go to the gym so that your wife is attracted to you, and you want respect from men so that they listen to you for example when you give dawah(both for the sake of Allah) I also explicitly said in the video you can follow your desires in a way such that Allah rewards you for doing so.
video is very very poor 👎🏼 don’t even know where to start critiquing … so if someone is obese and wants to be healthy and goes to the gym they want to attract woman and get men’s acceptance??? so if an obese person wants to loose weight they should just make duaa without putting in any action??? also the whole cause and effect thing you rambled about isn’t accurate
@@BaraaHussein_ i did read the pinned comment... and my opinion still stands.... whether it be me misunderstanding the video or you scripting it poorly
@@LegalTas ok let me reply, of course there are exceptions to what I have mentioned. This is common sense. I would even still argue that at least 10% of the motive of going to the gym is to attract women and get respect. This is absolutely natural and an innate desire that Allah SWT has placed in us. And so I'll repeat again, like I mentioned in the pinned comment: you can either want respect and attraction for the sake of Allah SWT or not. Should a Muslim intend to do it for the sake of Allah SWT or not? Of course! Again regarding your second point "should I just make dua and not put any action", answered in the pinned comment. You need put in the effort, tell me where I said don't do that? Never.. What I said in the video is that you should not solely depend on yourself for anything, always make dua that Allah SWT helps you, never rely on yourself, you're a human, you're weak. As the example I mentioned in the pinned comment: If I said you couldn't breath without Allah SWT, does that mean that I said do not breath and simply rely that Allah will make oxygen enter your lungs? No.. Saying you couldn't have done something without Allah DOES NOT EQUAL don't do that thing and just rely on Allah. Tell me what I've said in cause and effect that isn't accurate, maybe I'm wrong, I'd like to correct myself.
This isint accurate both things are true we have free will within the options and things Allah has provided self help is self improvement self improvement id what the quran ask us to do With our lively hood Allah provides all how ever there is still cause and effect within the choices we make to eat healthy or go to the gym to laze around or to work hard and divine decree is entwined with that in which he has provided you the oppertunity to act upon
Brother I read your responses and appreciate the clarification how ever if you say something along the lines of this is the only thing but mean it with context like excpet or with this in addition you must include that in your statements on order for that message to be recived effectively Something to consider for the future so no one else gets confused
Ok thank you I'll consider that, but sadly if I make videos like this they'll be hours long, if I keep mentioning every single point. Some things people just understand and they can easily fill in the blanks. And most of the people who have watched understand the message without a need for clarification. There's a few who have not, maybe because they don't understand English fluently or easily or you watched the video with a bad intention of wanting to debunk me.
Going to the gym isint following your desires the companions once asked the prophet about arrogance worried about themselfs becuase they liked having nice clothes and looking good and he said there is nothing wrong with this There is nothing wrong with having desire so long as there followed within the Frame work of what Allah has made permissable Example Your wives are like farmland for you, so approach them ˹consensually˺ as you please. And send forth something good for yourselves. Be mindful of Allah, and know that you will meet Him. And give good news to the believers. Would you say this is bad because you are following desire ?
