How to Fight the Temptation this Ramadan? Ft. Shaykh Muhammad Alshareef (rA)
Why do hardships come even after choosing the path of Islam? Shouldn’t life become easier when you're on the truth?In this podcast, Shaykh Muhammad Alshareef (rA) shares a powerful reflection on trials, struggles, and the reality of faith. Allah makes it clear in the Quran: “Do you think you will enter Paradise while such [trials] have not yet come to you as came to those who passed on before you?” (Quran 2:214). Every believer will be tested, just as those before us were. Wealth, health, and personal hardships are all part of the journey. The struggle itself is proof that you're on the right path.Jannah is not easy. It is surrounded by difficulty, while Hellfire is surrounded by ease and desires. The challenges you face, the temptations you resist, the hardships that shake you - every single one is a step closer to Allah’s pleasure.If you're feeling overwhelmed, if you're questioning why life isn’t getting easier, this reminder is for you. The road to Jannah is not for the weak-hearted. But for those who endure, who hold firm, who refuse to waver, the reward is beyond imagination.Let this reminder reshape the way you see your trials. Stay the course. Stay firm. Keep going.

Don’t Be Sad Ft. Shaykh Muhammad Alshareef (rA)
Ever feel like you’re carrying a weight you can’t quite put down?That constant buzzing in your mind—things you haven’t done, things you should do, and the fear that maybe you’re just not doing enough. Anxiety doesn’t just show up unannounced; it’s tied to the pressure we put on ourselves. The guilt. The overwhelm.And when stress keeps piling on, you either shut down or burn out. It’s not laziness—it’s the heart and soul crying out for relief. But how often do we actually stop and reflect? How often do we turn to Allah (swt) for clarity instead of trying to fix everything ourselves?Sometimes, the chaos is a sign—a reminder to slow down, reset our intentions, and lean on the One who controls it all. It’s not about being perfect. It’s about finding peace in your heart, breaking free from the cycle of overwhelm, and learning to breathe again, with trust in Allah guiding every step forward.
