JAZAK ALLAH
A lot of single men and women nowadays will say, “I” can’t settle for this or that person because, “I” bring so much to the table.” We should remember that all of our blessings are from Allah(swt).
great lecture, think i`m more fascinated by the lady doing the sign language ! I could see her gestures describing narcissism bought a smile to my face
Dr. Omar you talk about so many things and u did phD can you provide one single evidence of Jummah Khutba given by our beloved pbuh. Where is one Khutba that he gave? I never heard about Jummah Khutba and yet all our imams follow it?
Practising brothers should avoid women who flaunt their beauty on insta. They'll be narcissists for sure.
The most I'm afraid of in this entire world is my own heart, how it could flip without me catching it.
Ya muqallibal quloob thabbit qalbi ala dheenik
-Oh turner of hearts, keep my heart firm on the deen.
Narcissists don’t self reflect; the personality disorder means that they are right and everyone else is wrong.
If you reflect and wish to better yourself, you may have narcissistic traits that you can heal and override but a narc will never heal because they don’t believe there’s anything wrong with them.
And Allah knows best
JazakAllah khairun dear Imam Omar Suleman. I wish these types of topics were discussed in the Jummah khutba in Pakistan as well. Deep insight into character building and psychology of a momin and others is discussed very rarely.
What’s the Islamic way of dealing with the narcissistic person especially an older brother?
Alhamdulillah
Thank you ❤️
Mashallah sheikh your Salams are much appreciated
My husband is also a Narcisst after a 8 years of relationship and 4 doughters i just give up because i feel physically and mentally all the time so sick and tired and all i can remember in this 8 years i laugh with him only a few times and the rest of 8 years i cried every next day but nothing changed… Now i have to leave but it hurt
Narcissists are very sick people…they can't see their own sickness. MashaAllah loved this Alhamdulilah wa shukriLilah that Allah saved me from a toxic relationship with a narcissist that seems a long time ago now.
Tool or Threat for NPD
Our family is riddled with covert and overt narcassists and they are truely evil. You see it in their eyes. Totally abscent
I really enjoyed this lecture, but I think the first few minutes should come with a warning that of you’re a survivor of abuse they aren’t meant for you. I have a few people I don’t feel comfortable sending this too, since they are suffering from PTSD from abusive relationships. Their partners would call them a narcissist and they believed it. I’m afraid them seeing imam Omar say we need to look at ourselves would be harmful for such people. InshaAllah the rest of the khutbah was beautiful
If you live with a nacissist only then will you truly understand.
Iv lived with a man who only sees himself. Thinks he is perfect. Points flaws at me.
Everything is about him and he constantly degrades me belittles me.
My ex gave me some garbage lie when I saw him in a motel. I didn't believe him and after that I couldn't trust him at all. I started feeling like he has cheating on a constant base and I haven't just caught him till then. I wanted to confirm my suspicion.I had to know…. I was driven to know. The truth is the truth. Some of us have to know. Everyone is different. I got a tech guy to snoop into his phone and I got all his texts, calls and social media activities. I then found out that he had 2 month old relationship with the lady he was with at the motel. I got to know this through the infos the tech guy got me from his phone without his knowledge, He got into her phone and drives. I found Dirty proofs, real dirty things. All deleted Messages, chats, Videos, Call history from 12years back where unveiled to me. This proofs where helpful cos he worked my papers for me and now I can stay with my child and have a good job. Don’t let your narcissistic partner abuse you no more, follow him on Instagram

Narcissists(mostly men)are terrible two faced people, constantly degrading, invalidating, blame shifting, insulting, threatening,controlling, manipulative, arrogant, pathological liars. They are literally emotional vampires, freeing from their curse is very difficult, they blame people around them for their every life problem, yet they refuse to let go off them. May Allah save all of those who are suffering from fitna of these abusers, ameen.
I am shocked that there is a video on Narcissism in the Islamic perspective. Narcissists are extremely detrimental to mental health. The trauma bond is one of the worst things one can experience (imagine knowing 100% that the person is evil but completely unable to leave them) and these things need to be talked more so people can gain the strength to recognize, get out of relationships and protect themselves from getting involved with another one in the future.
'I don't own anything, not even myself' 🙏
Alhamudulillah
Great topic but psychologically speaking, unfortunately narcissists cannot find fault in themselves or diagnose themselves it's always someone else who notices it, it's embedded into the nature that they cannot see faults within themselves and it's created because of their treatment by the primary caregivers as a child and by 16 the narcissist is created even if their traits start to show closer to adulthood and can never be cured unfortunately
Firoun that I was married too got worse (selfish) more and more with time
These are the presentations where I wish there was a way to Like it thousand times 🙂
JazakAllahu khairan Katheerah Dear Dr. Shaikh Omar Sulaiman and all working for the common good for deen 💖
"When it comes to the narcissist, every other person becomes a tool or a threat in their constant battle. And so every person and relationship is disposable."
Light bulb moment right there. No wonder Narcs make your life miserable when you start to see right through them and stop accepting their nonsense. They'll vilify you when they see you as a threat. They never want to apologise and are experts at gaslighting and manipulation. As intimidating as that is, remember that narcissists are more often than not extremely insecure. So no matter how much trouble they've caused you, make Allah your friend, lots of dua and dhikr and InshaAllah you'll be the one to end it saying "Checkmate".
