إني أصف حياتي بأنها سلسلة من ألطاف الله، من تلك التدابير الخفية التي نجهل حكمتها حال وقوعها. فقط حين نؤمن سنرى، وسندرك - ولو متأخرين - أنها كانت خيرة تلك العثرات والتعثرات التي طالما شدت من توترنا ودقت طبول القلق فينا هي الآن من أسباب سعادتنا وتوفيقنا. فالحمد لله.

“Depression is such a cruel punishment. There are no fevers, no rashes, no blood tests to send people scurrying in concern. Just the slow erosion of the self, as insidious as any cancer. And, like cancer, it is essentially a solitary experience. A room in hell with only your name on the door.”

يا ربّ هب لنا من نورك نوراً نستضيء به ما أحييتنا ، يهزم ظلمتنا وينشر الرضا في نبضاتنا حتى نبصر طريق رضاك فلا نضل أبداً

“Why wasn’t friendship as good as a relationship? Why wasn’t it even better? It was two people who remained together, day after day, bound not by sex or physical attraction or money or children or property, but only by the shared agreement to keep going, the mutual dedication to a union that could never be codified.”

Basics of understanding Islam ♥

Have you been interested in Islam or just wanting to understand the basics of it, but you are not really sure where to start or who to ask? This is a quick little Q&A to help you out ♥

1. What is Islam?

Islam is a way of life.

The word ‘Islam’ means to be in ‘submission’ or to ‘surrender’ to God. Therefore the word Islam is not a noun, it is actually a verb! Anyone who ‘surrenders to God’ is seen as practicing Islam ♥

2. What is a Muslim?

The word ‘Muslim’ means ‘one who submits to God’ ♥ It is an adjective describing the person who practices Islam (ie. s/he surrenders to God) ♥

3. What do Muslims believe?

Muslims understand that there is only One God, and He is Omnipotent and the Creator of All ♥

We do not need a medium to pray to God (ie. We do not need to pray to anything else to get to God), we communicate straight to Him ♥ In Islam the more we pray to God and the more good we do, the closer we can become to Him ♥

In many religions the belief of humans being impure and unable to communicate with God directly, is rejected entirely in Islam ♥

Why would God Create you with His Own Hands, to then call you too dirty and impure to speak to Him?

In Islam, we know God is Merciful ♥

“And We have already created man and know what his soul whispers to him, and We are closer to him than [his] jugular vein.” Quran (50:16) ♥

4. Who is ‘Allah’?

‘Allah’ is the Aramaic word for ‘God’ ♥ When a Muslim or anyone says the Name ‘Allah’, they are saying ‘God’ in another language ♥

Allah = God ♥

5. Why do most Muslim girls, especially, cover their hair? What is that called?

The covering of the hair and certain parts of the body is called ‘Hijab’ ♥ The word ‘Hijab’ means ‘veil’ or ‘curtain’ ♥

God Created girls in a certain way and means to protect them from the potential ‘badness’ of men and other outside elements by veiling them ♥ Girls do not need to wear Hijab fully infront of other girls and their close family members, it is only infront of strange men, as it is a ward to potentially being sexually/in other ways used and/or hurt/taken advantage of ♥

For more information about Hijab and the Elevation of Women in Islam, please read my following blog post: http://islam-for-girls.tumblr.com/post/123625392540/islam-brings-elevation-to-the-status-of-women

6. What is the defining characteristic of someone who is truly Muslim?

Peacefulness ♥

“Allah is gentle and loves gentleness in all things.” (Bukhari and Muslim)

“And We have sent you (O Muhammad ) not but as a mercy for the Aalameen (mankind, jinns and all that exists)” Quran (21:107)

For more a little more information about Mercy in Islam, please read the following blog post: http://islam-for-girls.tumblr.com/post/145378234040/the-m-in-muslim-stands-for-mercy

7. Why does the media speak so badly about Islam at times?

People would do a lot of things to get ‘buzz’ about their article, their blog/media posts, and just plainly themselves ♥ Islam is a hot topic word these days, and people like to misquote Quranic verses and Hadith to make themselves more popular and/or to stir controversy for their own reasons.

People who understand that they should not believe everything that they hear on T.V. or simply just in the media, will research the topics of confusion themselves and realise that the information on the media is incorrect and created, not for educational purposes, but rather entertainment and popularity ♥

If you are not Muslim but you are reading this blog post for your own educational purposes, I commend you and thank you greatly for your open-mindedness, and May God Reward you ♥

If you wish to understand the so-called ‘Sword Verses’ of the Quran, please read the following blog post: http://islam-for-girls.tumblr.com/post/145999716790/sword-verses-explained-its-by-time-people

Thank you for reading this blog post ♥ I will be God Willing writing another blog posts about the basic practices in Islam next ♥ please keep tuned to find out more about Islam ♥

I hope this message reaches you all in good health, Emaan, and happiness ♥ Ameen ♥

Indeed my Lord is near and responsive

Holy Qur'an, Hud 61 (via reverthelp)

Whatever you want, ask Allah. Ask sincerely; cure from illness, relief from stress, a way out of your struggles. He will respond. Do your part and Trust Him.

Everyone is a sinner but not everyone asks for forgiveness. So please do it constantly. Forgiveness is a powerful way to bring you back to Allah!

[msaaa]

Confidence and arrogance don’t go together. Please be careful and know the difference. Arrogance makes you feel you’re always right. Confidence is humble and quiet!

In sujud you whisper near the ground but your voice is heard in the heavens.
