Note: regarding the Ruh (soul) and !nafs (self)- The majority of scholars agree they are the same thing. The difference is when the soul is placed into the body it is pure, and as soon as it mixes and is connected with the rest of your conscience, desires and body, it becomes part of who you are, called the self (Nafs), collectively. Therefore, your soul can get tainted and changed or kept purified by the the way you become, and in turn, the soul itself becomes a guider of good or an influencer of bad. When we die, it is no longer just called ‘ruh’ which is taken out, it is almost always called Nafs (self) in the Quran, because it is now what it has become and who you are that you turned it into over your life. Eg like putting a hard drive into a computer, after you fill it with information, the hard drive is now something else.
اَلسَلامُ عَلَيْكُم وَرَحْمَةُ اَللهِ وَبَرَكاتُهُ I hope you are well does this mean both the Ruh and the Nafs become like 1 and both are taken out when we die?.1

Last 5 minutes were so powerful, a beautiful lecture from a beautiful soul, may Allah bless our brother Belal and his family his patience and trust in Allah are an example to us all having recently lost his brother and son to a terrible accident. Peace and salutations on our nabi who buried 6 of his 7 children, who saw his uncle and protector Hamza killed in battle and whose body was badly mutilated, without our prophets courage, character and strength and his ability to overcome such personal trauma today we would not be listening to sheikh belal, we owe him ( pbuh ) a great debt of gratitude.
Yess SubhanAllah! I agree with you completely.
Agreed, the last chapter is magnificent.
That was beautiful! Jazak'Allah khairun for sharing your thoughts!

My answer to a good point raised in these comments (that people have experienced feelings of a heart donor after heart transplant): Br/sis, I have studied cardio-physiology for a year. You are right in that there are unconfirmed studies that the recipients of a heart said it affected their personalities, only 3 patients of a large group of 47 patients in a study. Literature reviews suggested that some ‘memories’ from the heart donor were felt or transferred to the recipients, called cellular memories like food preference, interests and alterations in emotions and temperament. These are cells in like RNA and DNA memories. But what I have stated in this lecture, if you listen again, the heart has 2 forms, the physical and the divine part which is connected to it. This means the divine part which you nurture as a believer or corrupt, gets better or worse and has an affect on your physical hearts ‘memories’. If it is true that patients truly did experience feelings if the donor’s heart (only 3 said this) then it has no affect on the belief and faith. It does not make a person a believer or kafir by putting the heart in them. But you may get feelings of ‘memories’ from the cells in the physical heart. That is what we mean by it has no affect on you whatsoever as a physical heart, but the memories make you feel things but your ‘beliefs and Iman’ do not change.
I almost said the same point about this. xd 31:41 and one more things is that I thought this was "a scene" for when the end times when Adam AS seen his descendants that is all of us and not about souls. 46:15 and when were talking about souls is part when the nafs is from Adam AS that's is testify. I remember other hadith about that tells certain people will attach to certain people from their similarity or something that in Ruh world before and if we seen each other in this worlds we will feels closeness to them. this hadith about the sahabi that like to joke or something like that, i dont remember her name but this hadith is from the Madani periods. Maybe I'm wrong then I was a layman myself and mix certain info about it.
I have a genuine doubht brother. When you say the physical heart has nothing to do with the spiritual heart. A Hadees of prophet may peace be upon him is bugging me. Its like this ” إن في الجسد مضغة إذا صلحت صلح الجسد كله ، و إذا فسدت فسد الجسد كله ألا و هي القلب “ And I always understood it by the meaning. If your heart is good you are as a whole becomes good and wise versa. May be my understanding of it is flawed. Jazzakallahu Khairan
@@mufeedbinismail no brother, I did not say the physical heart has nothing to do with the spiritual heart, both are connected. If you listen throughout the lecture I say that the spiritual heart stems from inside the physical heart and all over the body. However, separated the physical heart has nothing to do with the spiritual heart, meaning if you took out the heart from a baby or a grown person it becomes detached from the spiritual heart. The only thing left in the physical heart are memories inside neurons.
Syeikh, what is syariah Law for transplant ? autopsy ? organ donor? i thought we were not allowed to do autopsy due to the fact that jenazah or dead body can still feel the pain ?

The way he speaks make you want to listen fully as he doesn’t shout or scream like some do!! So much knowledge he has and is spreading to us Alhamdulillah. Learning so much from this brother
You can feel when a lecturer has a strong heart, strong Deen, and strong Iman. Such inspiring lectures. May Allah bless him for his work
By the grace of Allah, you have answered all my questions "about myself" that have appeared and remained unanswered for almost two years..To me, this is proof and inspiration of what it means to live "with a purpose"..I needed this so much..Elhamdulillah..
45 and learning all this now. Thank you for sharing.
Its a powerful thing … to reprocess life experiences when you learn Allah’s (SWT) names and attributes and who Shaitan is and Who we are (Nafs etc)…. And u see things in a new light. (How it all fits together) You recognize how Shaitan had a hold of you when You didn’t realize it before. Being more mindful as you wait for him to come at you from every side. Its very life changing.
Assalamualaikum brother.I try to watch your vedios everyday. I have made so many bad decisions in my life just to get worldly pleasure. But watching your vedios take me closer to Allah. As a young muslim I learn a lot from your vedios. May Allah give you all the happiness and keep you content. ♥️ Love from Bangladesh
I wish I meet Sheikh Bilal Asad once in my life. He is one of the most influential person in my Life. ❤❤❤❤
May ALLAH(ﷻ) forgive all our sins, Ameen. 🤲❤🌹 ..... .....
I recently attended a webinar at my workplace where the head of HR was guiding the audience through her experience. She said, pick your marathon. Just because someone is running a hundred meter race and you do not have that capacity, try for a shorter marathon but give it your best. Perform a self audit about where we were last year and how much we have grown till now and what we require to grow better till next year. It remained with me. This beautiful lecture by Shaikh Belal is so inspiring. I need a self audit and grow spiritually and mentally and train my nafs. Focus more on productivity. Choose my marathon and with practice, set bigger goals. In Sha Allah.
I wish you success and happinness in this life and in the hereafter,have a really nice day
I already started making DUA and listening to morning prayers, afternoon prayers and night prayers on KZhead…Then this man pops up with teaching of the QURAN……ALHUMDULLILAH…. 🤲🏿🤲🏿🤲🏿

Assalamo Alaykom brother Bilal, I hope you and yours are well. Excellent lesson, jazakom Allah. Just wanted to bring your attention to an often repeated claim, that Muslims, and Christians incorrectly make, regarding Christ(as). Christ/Messiah doesn't mean anointed, or chosen, etc. That's a Jewish/Christian concept, which was built on falsehood. It's a laqab/title that was given to many messengers before Eesa(as). Like Khalil Allah, Kaleem Allah, Al Mustafa, etc. المسيح comes from the Arabic root of مسح 'to wipe'. Eesa(as) as I'm sure you're well aware, used to wipe with his hand over the sick, to heal them, or wipe with his hand to raise the dead. Also, all the past Prophets and Messengers' miracles, are non repeatable. But Allah(swt) will allow the Dajjal to perform a miracle, like Eesa(as) of raising the dead, using jinn devils. In other words, because many people believe the falsehood about Christ(as), Allah(swt) will give them exactly, what they're asking, a corrupted soul, who will perform miracles, before them, because they rejected the truth, while it was right in front of them(e.g Quran). Finally, it's not proper to use 'Jesus', when referring to Eesa(as). The name 'Jesus' is rooted in the Hebrew name 'Yeshua', which is Prophet Joshua(as). The name Yeshua was translirated to Greek, then to Latin, then to Germanic, to get 'Jesus', but it's still the Prophet Joshua's name. Eesa's(as) original Aramaic name is 'Eesho', or 'Eeso' in the Syriac dialect, Eesa in Arabic, or Yesho in Hebrew. Jazakom Allahu Khayran.
@@Free-PalestineJazak for your input. I will look into it further inshllah.
Thank you ❤️
Masha'Allah... It feels like this lecture has opened a window into the unseen, peering into the inner reality of our existence, which will only be fully revealed once we leave this world.. And how we should prepare for that inevitable day... Jazakallah khairan, Sheikh.. May Allah bless and reward you..
Very enlightening and reminding those who may have stray a little from believing. Free will, you own it to yourself.

Sheikh I know you’re a busy person and perhaps you may not want to do this, but please if you can record at least Juz Amma in a studio it would be appreciated. Allahumabarek I feel like your tajweed would help many. I’ve been trying to improve my memorisation and listen to Mishary and similar qari’s but your recitation has made me remember some ayat pretty easily Allahumabarek. It’s your decision of course but many would benefit 😊

Absolutely life changing and powerful speech. May we all take heed and act upon what we have been reminded of Ameen. This video is one to be shared and I for one will be sitting with my family to view together as you would with any useless movie or program, this one hour that brother Belal has gifted us is one that can make an immediate difference to ourselves and our youths. We don’t have to be perfect to help one another in this test of life, this video throws it all into perspective again and urges us towards siratul mustaqeem highlighting the actual factors in todays life that are leading us all astray. May He forgive us all and may we get stronger in our imaan and exit the mindset of dislusion, leave procrastination as there are no promises of tomorrow. May He take us all only when he is pleased with us Ameen. Thank you our brother for this naseeha and your continuous efforts. May Allah elevate your position in the afterlife, may your reward be with Allah Ameen.
