Omar Suleiman - What if I Fail? Delaying Commitment Due to Self-Doubt

About this lecture

In this deeply personal Ramadan reflection, Sheikh Omar Suleiman addresses the epidemic of self-doubt that causes Muslims to delay repentance and commitment to good deeds — drawing on a powerful Tafsir of Surah Al-Hadid (verse 14) and a moving Hadith about Allah's boundless willingness to forgive. He identifies the key tricks Shaytan uses to keep us stuck — fear of failure, care for others' opinions, and endless postponement — and offers a practical framework: be immediate in leaving sin, and gradual in building good habits. A powerful reminder to act now, especially in the blessed last ten nights of Ramadan.
