The Danger of 'IF ONLY' — How Regret Opens the Door to Shaytan. In this powerful Islamic reminder, we dive deep into the emotional and spiritual trap of the phrase "If only..." — a short word with long-lasting effects.
How often do we find ourselves saying:"If only I got that job...""If only I married that person...""If only life went my way..."
These thoughts can become a prison, robbing us of peace and pulling us away from Tawakkul and belief in Qadr (Divine Decree). The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ warned us about the dangers of saying "If...", reminding us that it opens the doors of Shaytan, planting seeds of doubt, regret, and resentment in our hearts.
🎯 In this video, you'll learn:
* The difference between healthy self-reflection and destructive regret
* The wisdom of scholars like Abi Qilabah, Al Qadi 'Iyad, Imam an-Nawawi, and Imam Ash-Shafi'i
* How Allah’s unseen plans often protect us from harm we never knew existed
* When “if” can lead to gratitude, learning, or despair
* The true meaning of contentment (Rida) and trusting Allah's plan
This real-life story from the time of Fitnah will shake your heart and inspire you to rethink how you deal with setbacks and missed opportunities.
Remember, life is not about the "what ifs" — it's about "what is."💬 Let go. Trust Allah. And watch how everything changes.
🕋 "My heart is at ease knowing that what was meant for me will never miss me, and what has missed me was never meant for me." – Imam Ash-Shafi'i
