I accidentally clicked on a YouTube video about the funniest Sahaba by Sheikh Omar Suleiman and I enjoyed it so much that I decided to see if has has anymore videos on YouTube. Well, it turns out he has a ton and I had no idea how amazing and informative they were! I have been listening to his lectures and Khutbas any chance I get and Alhamdulillah I have learned so much. I want to talk about one in particular; Being Independent of the Creation. SubhanAllah, I needed to hear that one and especially on the day I watched it. I have learned that boundaries are always needed when it comes to people and making sure that you are ALWAYS relying on Allah and not people like you. I am some what a control freak and this was something I needed to hear, I can't control! I can't control who stays in my life and who doesn't. I can't control who is honest and sincere to me and who isn't. But I can control how I let people affect my life and to what extent, and that can only happen with what I love to do: control! I would love to post many more of my favorite lectures by Sheikh Omar Suleiman Insha'allah but for now, be independent of the creation and you will have succeeded.
