From Shaykh Abu Eesa:
“I *will* write my reflections on everything Sh MAS soon when I get things together iA. Bear with me.
Until then, many are grieving. For different reasons. In different ways. And these mental health implications are something I think we really need to look at and have a conversation about, especially *men* and how they process emotion etc.
I know this is highly specific and personal with my own life-story dominating, but I don’t think it could have been done any different if I really want it to reach the specific people it needs to help. I’m happy to take one for the team (yes I’ll be made to regret this video one day but khayr!), and yes it’s too much. But if my close friends and students will protect their mental health as a result, and connect to loved ones, well, it’ll have been worth it.”

It's so difficult to show vulnerability. Sheikh AE, may Allah keep you away from all that his harmful and protect you with His protection. Ameen
As Sh Muhammad Al Shareef said, you will find the filth of the earth in the YouTube comments. He was right. Some horrid stuff below. Who cares.
You need antipsychotics, get help
This sheikh is really grieving May Allah give him patience……
Oh my brother what a beautiful heart-felt truth of our illusion of life, I have been mindful of my ego for many years. I understanding the reality of our mortality. I Have been blessed to be with others who most people reject or avoid. Thank you so my much for sharing your cathartic process and I want to give you a big hug. The power of emotional intelligence and releasing the psychological and emotional pain is all part of our lives.
Mashaa Allah. What was the cause of death?
May Allah forgive Sh Mohammad and enter him jannah without hisaab
I needed to hear this for the sake of my own sanity. Jzkallah khyra katheera And May Allah elevate the status of dear shk. MAS n grant him from the highest in janna
Salam Shaykh I appreciate your honesty and vulnerability. Maybe in another lecture you can speak about the difference between ego and arrogance. What did you mean? I have studied a lot about Tasawuf but it’s nice to hear your perspective.
الله يصبرك و يصبِّر أهل المرحوم.
Jazakallahukhair for this ♥️
Innalillahi wa inna ilayhi rajiun. I felt your pain and your grief Shaikh. It was there beneath the bravado and the words. It was deep and raw. May Allah comfort you and the entire Ummah especially the family of Shaikh Muhammad Al Sharif. You did a good job here and I hope you're all talked out and it was cathartic for your soul.
Jazakumullah khairan. Much needed reminders. May Allah swt reward all those working in His path, and give them the highest stature in the akhirah. Aameen.
Wa alaykumassalam wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh
exactly muhh mad had same problem of mental issues he wanted to commit suicide by jumping over the cliff and most of moslems are in the same situation!!
Absolutely love this. My husband attempted twice to end his life. I cannot thank you enough to publicise. Please continue publicising mens mental health. Mens struggles and how men do not talk to anyone. Please make dua for my husband he gets better
Just figured out I have so much ego, did not really identify until reflecting what Abu Isa said.
We can often see people bite their nails when nervous. Others may bite on a finger out of regret.
However, can you imagine biting a whole hand? or even worse… both hands?!
وَيَوْمَ يَعَضُّ الظَّالِمُ عَلَىٰ يَدَيْهِ يَقُولُ يَا لَيْتَنِي اتَّخَذْتُ مَعَ الرَّسُولِ سَبِيلًا
“And on that Day the wrongdoer will bite on his hands [in regret], and say, ‘If only I had taken the same path as the Messenger.”
(Qur’an 25:27)
An indication of the severity of the overwhelming and incapacitating regret that the sinners will feel on the day of Judgement.
Obeying Allaah The Almighty in general and doing great deal of good deeds fill the face with light, brightness and joy that every obedient person to Allaah The Almighty, sees.
‘Abdullaah ibn ‘Abbaas said: “Good deeds give brightness to the face, light to the heart, abundance to provision, strength to the body, and affection in people's hearts. Bad deeds bring blackness to the face, darkness to the grave and the heart, weakness to the body, lack of provision and hatred in people’s hearts.”
Jazakallah Khairan Sheikh for being yourself and vulnerable. All you do is so important. Such a wonderful tribute to Sheikh Muhammad Al Shareef and to others.
😄 🤣 😂
What video did he show on his hp I didnt catch the name at 48.51
We LOVE Mohammed al shareef and Abu Esa & others for the sake of Allah
Ego,death, reality may Allah guide our hearts and may we love our ummah and be of those who forgive one another. Remember our own mortality and may we be of those who have humility in our hearts. Learn to give to others less fortunate than us and may our hearts soften. Forgive those who have wronged us for it will bring tranquility in our hearts. Ameen.
JazakAllahu Sheikh AE for actually expressing what us men feel at times and reminding us that its ok to be not ok sometimes and expressing ones vulnerability is not weakness. May Allah have mercy on Ustadh MAS.
Inna lilahi wa inna ilairajioun may Allah azza wa jall grant him Jannatul Firdous and grant his family sabr jameel to bear the loss aameen
I am laughing n crying at the same time. Ya Sheik, you got yourself a new follower…not that you need any more. JazakAllahu khayr for your honesty. May Allah bless the inspiration of all my teachers, Muhammad AlShareef, aamiin
I am a psychiatrist. He is 100% correct on men talking about mental health problems. Massive stigma in Muslim communities. So Muslim men with severe mental illnesses are discouraged from talking about this. Mental illness is simply not taken seriously, and dismissed as weakness of Iman, due to Jinn or both. We need education, education, education.
