Owning our mistakes starts with sincere regret, but that regret alone isn’t enough. Dr. Omar Suleiman highlights how true repentance (Tawbah) involves moving past pride—especially when other people are involved—and making a genuine commitment to seek forgiveness from Allah (SWT).
Whether it’s in marriages, friendships, or daily interactions, humility is key. Drawing from the Prophet Muhammad’s (PBUH) example, Dr. Suleiman warns against rejecting sincere advice out of arrogance and shows how accountability frees us from seeking validation from others. This talk reminds us that true growth is fueled by an honest desire to please Allah (SWT), not by external approval.
