#Don't be sad indeed Allah is with us.

[attheexactlyrighttimeandplace]

There are on social media some very disturbing and graphic videos of the children of Gaza who have been injured during the relentless and inhumane bombing campaign, that Israel's war criminal regime has been waging for ten days now

But despite the necessity to look at them to understand the full extent of the crimes committed by Zionist Jews and their Western accomplices who support them, to understand what genocide means, I don't think this is how we should remember Palestinians, especially the children. They're much more than mutilated bodies.

This video filmed by Mohammed Sami, who worked at Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital few few hours before the attack summarizes their lives nicely.

About this time spent together with the children, Mohammed wrote:

I will never forget the look and sound of their laughter at this moment. We are all trying to be okay.

Mohammed was confirmed dead, we do not know the fate of the children and other workers in this video, although it is likely that they did not survive given the number of victims: more than 800 dead, but it It is still right to them that they spent their last hours in a form of peace with a feeling of hope and the will to live.

He wrote a few hours before the attack on his Instagram in Arabic (I used Google for the translation, my Arabic is not strong enough):

Peace to Gaza, peace, peace Peace be upon all sad eyes Her tears overflow with sorrow and pride Peace, peace, peace to Gaza Today during my stay at the Arab National Hospital (Baptist) I saw families and their children in a state of fear and psychological pressure due to the continuous bombing of the Gaza Strip I tried to relieve them of this fear and panic by requesting assistance from a team of civilian volunteers inside the hospital to change this state for them into a state of playing, laughing, screaming loudly, and letting go of themselves. It is like trying to provide psychological first aid for the children and families by preparing a designated, safe place for play and entertainment. What I did today was an attempt with simple means through which I was able to unload everyone inside the hospital and transfer them to a condition perhaps much better than they were in.. I will never forget the look and sound of their laughter at this moment. We are all trying to be okay.

They were Muslims, so here is a dua for them and for us to help us cope with this tragedy:

Those who, when an affliction visits them, say, ‘Indeed we belong to Allah, and to Him do we indeed return.’

الَّذينَ إِذا أَصابَتهُم مُصيبَةٌ قالوا إِنّا لِلَّهِ وَإِنّا إِلَيهِ راجِعونَ

[fluffy-appa]

“Don't be sad, indeed Allah is with us.”

[ome-magical-ramblings]

The Golden/Magical Chain, and Lineages....egregores? the open secret to initiation into the mysteries.

One of the aspects that's often undervalued or overlooked in initation is the living breathing lineage we have of the prophets and saints themselves to initiate us. We often either look too critically into Prophets lives or put them on a pedestal, the reality of them acting as initiators for us into traditions is undeniable.

The only proof I can give you about their existence is to look at their image, visit their graves, talk to their image and they will speak. The prophets are just the same as archangels and they didn't "go anywhere".

Just like the people beseech in the name of magical barbarous names, you can beseech or call in the names of the prophets. There are many signs you can see when you do indeed get in touch with them the scriptures opens up. Just like a temple you used to look at before you're allowed inside to see it from the inside. (Quran 50:16) Indeed, ˹it is˺ We ˹Who˺ created humankind and ˹fully˺ know what their souls whisper to them, and We are closer to them than ˹their˺ jugular vein The scripture themselves are holy building and the access to them is the prophets. This is imam Ali's Shrine from outside:

It's so beautiful and breath-taking, but what if you asked and prayed to Ali to be allowed entry into his mysteries? how would it look like? what's the inside of it?

or Hagia Sophia

or the church of Nativity

To end this, the abrahamic religions are enlivened by our connections to the prophets and saints and not just by the letters on the paper. Once you call, the scripture and letters become from letters on paper to letters of God, the word of God are alive and breathing, you don't NEED to look elsewhere but it helps. In this spirit of my blog, that I always end my blog with something practical I decided to translate this section from Al Zalitini's Kashkool/Notebook. Which leads to seeing the prophet(Mohammed) in sleep/dream. but I assume the intention can lead to any prophet you have in your heart. بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم  بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم اللهم صل على محمد واله و صحبه و سلم بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم بسم الله النور على النور و الحمدالله مدبر الامور الحمدالله الذي خلق الظلمات و النور و أنزل التوراة على جبل الطور في كتاب مسطور و الحمدالله الذي بالثناء مذكور و بالعز والجلال مشهور  وعلى السراء والضراء مشكور  و الحمدالله الذي خلق السموات و الارض و جعل الظلمات و النور ثم الذين كفروا بربهـم يعدلون .كهيعص(كهميعص) حمعسق إياك نعبد وإياك نستعين يا حي يا قيوم بك استعنت الله لطيف بعباده يرزق من يشاء وهو القوي العزيز يا كافي كل شيء اكفني من كل شيء واصرف عني كل شيء فإنك قادر على كل شيء  سبحان الله ولا إله إلا الله و الحمد لله و الله أكبر ولا حول ولا قوة إلا بالله العلي العظيم وصل الله على سيدنا محمد و على اله و صحبه و سلم. Bism Allah Alrahman Alrahimi  O God, bless Muhammad, his family, and his companions, and peace be upon Muhammad, his family, and his companions. Bism Allah Alrahman Alrahimi, By the name of Allah, Light upon Light, Praise be to Allah, Ruler of affairs, who created the darkness and the light and sent down the Torah on the Mount of Tabor in a written book. Praise to Allah, praised by his mention, famous by his glory and honor, For better or worse we thank him. Praise to Allah who built the heaven and earth, created darkness and light. O those who disbelieve their God will be judged, Kaf-Ha-Ya-Ayin-Sad , Ha-Meem-Ayin-Seen-Qaf. You alone do we worship, and You alone do we turn for help. O Hayy, O Qayyum, I take you as my refuge, Allah is Gentle with His servants; He gives provisions to whom He wills. And He is the Powerful, the Exalted in Might. Ya Kafi Kula Shay Sustain me from everything, and dismiss everything from me, for you're able to do everything. Glory to Allah, There is no God but Allah, Praise be to Allah, Allah is Great, There is no power, no strength but from Allah the High Almighty blessings and peace upon Mohammed , and his family and companions. Amen.

In the end, I find it funny that this photo was always there in our house, telling me that the prophets are ALIVE and reaching out to us!

[pierce-of-her-broken-heart]

Subhan Allah, be careful of your actions against others. Do good wherever you are, treat people as you would like to be treated. Because you don't know tomorrow.

I once met a sister online, our connection was inexplicable, when I talked to her, it was like she understood me in the smallest details so it didn't take long for us to get so close. Our bond seemed unbreakable. It was us against the world and I loved this sister from the inside of my heart, by Allah. As if she were my blood, I welcomed her as if she were my family. Until, things start to change. She started to reply to me days later, and then she started to ghost me. Soon after, this sister disabled all social media for months. Leaving me upset and a little apprehensive. Until one day, that same sister returns to social media and blocks me in everything. And my question is "what I do to this sister?" I simply didn't do anything. And to me, she was an ungrateful person & Allahu alam.

I cried, I was very sad but then I started to remember how many times I made mistakes and was ungrateful to a sister who also considered me like family. I wonder how this sister must have felt when I acted wrongly towards her? Subhan Allah, months later I asked Allah for forgiveness for doing this to her and sought her to apologize for my actions. May Allah forgive me. This why I wrote "treat people the way you would like to be treated" because indeed, you will be treated equally by others. Today I know some Hadith from RasulAllah to treat our brothers and sisters with love, sisterhood, being good to each other... My intention with this text is to give you advice not to fall into the same mistake as mine and to treat your sisters in the Deen with love, loyalty and gratitude.

May Allah facilitate all of us to correctly follow His Religion & may He forgive me.

[mdadnaannn]

On Eid, the first day after ramadan, I was feeling very depressed and lonely. From morning till the Asr everything was going fine but then comes my loneliness, I tried to console myself by taking some sleep but nothing, absolutely nothing works when you feel lonely and sad, my depression and anxiety was hitting different and very hard. Time passed and then Alhamdulillah Maghrib comes I went out and gone to Masjid for my prayer. While offering namaz my heart and mind filled with peace, but as soon as I came back home I started feeling lonely again. Yes, I was with my family members at home but I still felt lonely. People say “that you should give time to your family and friends, and also you can do this and do that when you feel lonely." Yeah these things gives comfort but sometimes you just need something even you don't know what it is. I didn't know what to do so I went outside, I didn't know where I was going and then suddenly my heart was telling me to stop so I stopped. I was alone on a street corner and was stunned for some minutes, wondering what should I do now, why did I stopped here. I opened my phone and started searching on google “what prophet Muhammad used to do when he feel depressed " as soon as I clicked on the search button a man comes from behind and asked me __ where is this place. He asked me “ which way __ place is and how far it is from here." I told him “ it is straight from here and it will take 10 minutes to reach on foot" and then he left. I don't know what happened to me but suddenly I went to him and said “ Can I drop you I am also going to that place". When I dropped him he told me “thank you" which made my heart happy . Such things and moments like this mean a lot to me because these little things makes my heart blush, I was very happy at that moment. And then Subhan Allah the place where I dropped him there was a Masjid, I realized that the Isha jamat is in about 15 minutes and I should pray instead of wandering around alone. I offered my Sunnah prayer and then my Fard with jamat and after completing the entire Isha namaz my heart became light, my mind was refreshed and I was feeling very energetic and then I came back home.

-Telling this whole story of my day that happened to me means nothing but this- Don't feel upset. If someone feeling depressed and lonely then call on Allah (swt). He is near, he knows what is in our hearts, he knows what we are about to say to him but he still listens to us. The love and mercy of Allah for us is more than a mother loves her child.

-The things we all learned from above story :-

“Do not lose hope, nor be sad" - 3:139

“And seek help through patience and prayers" - 2:45

“Call upon me, and I will respond to you" - 40:60

"Verily in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find rest" - 13:28

“And whoever stays away from My remembrance then indeed he will have a depressed life" - 20:124

“So do not let the life of this world deceive you" - 35:5

Remember me in your prayers🌹☪️

ExMuslim Forced coming out via /r/atheism

ExMuslim Forced coming out Hi all, I grew up in a v backward hellish Pakistani family in Orange County. My parents and everyone around me has been fucking abusive all my life. My mom abused me to NO END, I cannot explain the layers of abuse that have unfolded within my parents household. When I was 17, I was forced into marriage to a Pakistani overseas man, and the second I turned 18 he was here. The marriage was HELL and I kept begging my parents to help me out but they did NOTHING. I had no money or income for much of the past 10 years and was raising his two kids. When I left Islam everything was harder because I no longer had to tell myself that it was "Allah ki marzi" or God's will or whatever. I have been being abused for like the past 20 years of my life from parent's husband, inlaws, etc. Finally this year, I took a stand for myself and said FK this. My husband also left Islam also and we decided to try nonmonogamy since we haven't had any other partners. I know this is a cheap cop out for me to find some semblace of love because I feel tied to his home due to young kids. I actually want to find something real. Anyways, this past year I had some good dating experiences, and was surprised that I am indeed not a washed up pathetic housewife but someone that men could find attractive. I started finding friends outside of the Muslim community and got a job. I started distancing myself from family. Yesterday night someone found my dating profile on an app and forward it to my brother. They have used emotional blackmail, abuse, bullying tactics, financial deprivation to always bend me their will. He called both my parents and I am awaiting this impending doom that they're masoom innocent little daughter who was pissed off at 17 has now been with other men. I am exploring my sexuality for the FIRST time at 32... and I haven't even slept with anyone else yet... just casual dates, kissing and making out with other men. At the same time, I don't feel that men are something I should write off to stay this pure saint for a man that was forced upon me. I know that this will spread within my extended family like wildfire and my parents will be utterly shamed. I am so sad that this got out and idk how to handle it. My dad started saying he's having a heart attack and palpitations...he's already had two heart episodes and my mom is a stroke patient. I am feeling very alone, scared, and isolated... How will they come to terms with my atheism ? My inlaws and everyone are going to come for me as if I am the biggest whore in all of history. Just need some support right now... Sorry it's so long. I am just waiting for this big blowout atm. I am going to have to stand firm and say I am atheist and I have a right to act on my sexual desires. I am not hurting anyone. They will be even more upset because their "naslay" or grandkids will no longer be Muslim. Thanks for reading. ​ TLDR: Forced into marriage at 17 to Muslim man, left Islam, exploring sexuality... found out by brother on dating app..Impending massive fallout from family and community.

[simplyhasanah]

These past few days, I've been in one of the lowest states of iman- but it was the perfect moment to make du'a.

So I did.

I prayed to Allah to grant me good friends who could assist me in deen more seriously and who are knowledgeable in the issue I am dealing with right now. I genuinely prayed for it as I so desperately needed it.

Today, I received the answer from Allah. Not the way I imagined it to be but in Allah's way. Allah knew that I've been bothered with one main issue, let's call it Problem X.

In my du'a, I imagined the people would be an avid reader of the Qur'an and a serious practicing Muslimah. But guess what? Allah sent me a Christian woman, who is also an experienced solver of Problem X. In addition to that, she is my sister in law. We just met the first time today. And I think she is really good in talking to troubled people like me - she could sense that I'm struggling with something - and it so happened that she had been dealing with Problem X longer than me. On top of that, another sister in law who I often meet also started to share the same issue with us. Though I've been seeing her more often than the SIL that I just met, I realized that I've closed my heart due to my inner struggles and we didn't talk about Problem X at all prior to today's meeting.

It's only today that we started to bond... That makes me sad because I was the one who didn't want to open up to people - just because I've had trust issues as I've had so many backstabbers who pretended to be my friends in the past. It's still a traumatic experience. But I think this is obviously a clear sign from Allah for me to start to opening up to people more with good intention and good assumption/thinking of others instead of replaying my painful past over and over again (which only brings harm to my soul than good).

SubhanAllah.

I think if we could agree, today's impromptu discussion has helped us, especially me to clear some bad, murky thoughts as it was quite refreshing and enlightening to hear from them who have tried solving Problem X as they shared the details of the similarities we are/were facing. Though we do not share the same religion but when we talk about God, and what God wants for us - we definitely meet our common grounds.

SubhanAllah.

I'm still in awe of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala's way of answering our prayers. I feel that my iman has boosted after this meeting :') Alhamdulillah wa shukru lillah.

Indeed, my husband has been there for me most of the time (I'm super grateful, Alhamdulillah) but it's just different when it comes to having girl friends, you know. There are things that you can't talk with your husband. But this answer from Allah today just taught me another lesson: you actually don't need a group of friends that you need to talk to daily to lessen your loneliness. You just need to talk to Allah and He will send you the right answer to every problem that you have - even the ones that you do not utter in your du'a but uttered in your mind and heart.

Today's lesson also taught me that Problem X is actually Blessing X.

Blessing X needs lots and lots of Sabr and Shukr because the reward is just too big, mashaAllah.

But in the end, it's not about what Allah should give to me rather it is about what I should give to Allah (with my very existence) in this temporary world.

Allahumma Ya Muqallibal Qulub Thabbit Qulub ala Deenik.

(O Allah) O One who turns the hearts, make my hearts steadfast upon Your Deen.

[mchiti]

Oh benatia and his goons make me so angry none of our players r at the stage where they should be considering saudi. Weak mentality and then the religious excuses ffs ya allah give me STRENGTH saudi is basically turning into the US. half of them arent in teams close to makkah anyway so its not like theyre making umrah everyday.

Benatia has always been quite a greedy person to be honest, even as a player. I used to like him though, but I think I did underestimated his influence within the players until a few months ago. He is indeed a super greedy guy...unreal honestly. There are journalists (I won't name them but lol) who definitely lick his ass all the time, defending this or that player choice to go saudi, like he set an example that I don't understand.

they are super rich sis they can afford to make umrah any time they can. they can come and go as they please with private jets, as they go to holidays they can go umrah too, they don't have to live there and religion is definitely something they can't make as an excuse lol. Pretty sad honestly. sabiri's posts are depressing me lol

[azzahrahumaira]

April 10, 2023

I am furtively observing her from afar. Tears rolling down her face and she looks incredibly hopeless. I've seen her cry plenty of times, but this time, there's something distinctively different—her unprecedented miserable facial expression. It does rankle me so much to the extent that I just really want to brush her sadness away with all my might; as best as I possibly can.

5 minutes... 15 minutes... 30 minutes... I can't stand this anymore. She is constantly sobbing and it tears my heart up. I gotta do something to console her. I am afraid I will do something wrong that can consequently deteriorate the situation but I can't just let her drown in the ocean of sadness like this. This just has to stop.

I am slowly trying to inch closer to her. She doesn't notice my footsteps, let alone my overall presence. She is completely heedless of her surroundings.

I sit next to her. On my own volition, I gently touch her hands and begin to speak, "What’s going on, sweetie?"

"Oh, nothing," She hastily wipes her tears and pretends that everything is allright. But it's no use to conceal her feelings because deep sadness is written all over her face.

"I know you are sad, that's why I am here. We are good friends, right? you can talk to me, if you want..." I respond.

"Why does it have to be like this?" She asks me in an infuriatingly frustrating tone. She is starting to cry again, unwittingly.

"Tell me, what happened?"

"I got accepted into that boarding school. I was continuously wishing I would get rejected but look, I am destined to be part of that boarding school. I am just really sad right now" She burst into tears and seeing her feel sad like this feels so excruciatingly painful.

I meticulously look at her. " I can feel your pain...I know how saddening it is to know that you've been chosen to be planted in a place that you've never liked. But sweetie, don't you think that this is what we call as fate? Allah wants you to study in that school so ofcourse it's what's best for you. Allah is omniscient, He knows that this is the only best choice for you."

"I know... but I just don't want this life path..." She says, desperately.

"I know this must be hard for you, but you've got this. Allah has chosen you because He knows that you are capable of doing all of this. Just trust Him, okay?" I give her a smile.

"Maybe you are right..."

"Pray to Him, sweetie. tell Him about everything. Ask him about anything that you want. Pour your heart out to Him. Indeed, Allah is constantly seeing and listening all of us. He knows everything that you are going through. Just talk to him, okay? Because truly, only in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find peace"

"Thanks a million for everything, I am so thankful for having a virtuously benevolent friend like you," She says.

"You're most welcome, sweetie"

JUZ 19 - LESSONS

➖SURAH AL-FURQAN

On the Day of Judgment people will have regrets:

"Oh, I wish I had taken the Messenger way." (25:27)

"Oh, woe to me! I wish I had not taken that one as a friend." (25:28)

The time is now to mend our ways! We are still breathing, so why don't we connect with the Qur'an and study the Seerah and Sunnah of Rasoolullah (salAllahu 'alayhi wa sallam) right now? Who are our friends? Do they call us to Allah SWT or only to events of Allah's disobedience?

If your friends neglect their prayers and other religious duties they are NOT your friends. Save your Hereafter and "look" for righteous companions.

➖FOUR QUALITIES OF A GOOD FRIEND

- They remind you of Allah SWT

- when you meet them you get an emaan boost

- They are your Muhsin, not cheerleaders. They point out what is wrong in you so that you can fix it. They don't turn a blind eye to your wrongdoings. They encourage and support you to attend the gatherings of knowledge

Sometimes we want to adopt the company of the righteous people or study the Qur'an and gain knowledge of the Deen but we are trapped in such a company that we can't find a way. Each time we decide to adopt a good habit or go near Allah SWT our social circle distracts us. Learning about the regrets that the people will have in the Hereafter, one must exert themselves to leave such a company.

- Not only will the followers be complaining that why they didn't follow the Right Path, the Prophet (salAllahu 'alayhi wa sallam) too will complain to Allah SWT:

"O my Lord, indeed my people have taken this Qur'an as [a thing] abandoned.." (25:30)

We are the Ummati - are we holding on to the Qur'an or have we abandoned it?

➖LEVELS OF ABANDONMENT OF THE QUR'AN BY IBN QAYYIM

1) To abandon listening to it and believing in it

2) To abandon acting upon it, and ignoring its lawful and prohibited (halal and haram), even if one believes in it and recites it

3) To abandon judging by it and resorting to it as a judge when there are differences in the essence of the religion or other matters

4) To abandon pondering over it, understanding it, and seeking the explanation of it 5) To abandon using it as a cure for all types of diseases of the heart, and instead seek cure of these diseases by other means

➖Qur'an has the cure for all spiritual diseases - depression, sadness, jealousy, hatred, rancor,

resentment, and superstitions. When you recite the Qur'an ask Allah SWT to cure your heart. Recite the Ayaat of Surah Al-Baqarah and Surah Al-Fatihah daily and kick out Shaytan. -The Qur'an was revealed gradually so that the people would take out time to study and understand it - one ayah at a time and not rush through it. How do we recite the Qur'an?

➖Many of us just focus on "finishing" the Surah or Juz.

By studying gradually, people can implement its Ayaat in their daily life such as recognizing the haram sources of earning a person would opt for halal options, understanding the importance of Hijab, a woman would immediately adopt it and from there onward start wearing the Jilbab [long, loose outer covering] and then Niqab, in sha Allah. Gradual understanding of the Qur'an allows the message to firmly settle in our hearts and we are motivated to act on it. May Allah SWT make us of those who do not just believe in and recite the Qur'an but also implement its teachings in their day-to-day affairs, ameen.

- People who develop a relationship with the Qur'an (they recite, study and teach it daily) get guidance from it according to their life's situation. If we are lost and confused, we must work on our relationship with the Qur'an.

- When a person feels down because of the things people say to them due to their following the Deen then such a person should recall the hardships of the Prophet (salAllahu 'alayhi wa sallam). They are mocking us today, tomorrow they are the ones who will be mocked.

- Do not make your nafs your god. Do not say, "I cannot wear Hijab because I do not want to pok the odd one in the crowd," or "I want to follow fashion trends." Dress up in your home.

- Allah SWT says: Strive with the Qur'an - a great striving.

➖WHAT IS MEANT BY STRIVING WITH THE QUR'AN?

Living by the Qur'an + Conveying its Message to others

What is our role in spreading the Qur'an? What are WE doing?

ALLAH SWT SAYS IN THE QUR'AN THIS IS YOUR JOB!

Use your skills, wealth, resources and time to spread the Qur'an Make a goal to how many people will you convey the message of the Qur'an

PEOPLE EXERT THEMSELVES IN PROMOTING AND EXPANDING THEIR BUSINESSES

WHY CAN'T WE EXERT OURSELVES IN "MARKETING" THE DEEN OF ALLAH SWT?

- Allah SWT created two seas, one fresh and sweet and one salty and bitter

Such are people - having different personalities. Our spouses, our children, our siblings, our colleagues cannot be exactly like us. We are different and each one of us has its specific role. Acknowledge the difference and focus on the goal.

It also means that sometimes a person can be in an extremely bitter environment but he does not have to be like them. He can remain sweet and spread the Deen of Allah SWT.

➖QUALITIES OF THE 'IBAD UR RAHMAN [THE SERVANTS OF THE MOST MERCIFUL]

- Walk humbly on the earth

- When an ignorant person addresses them harshly, they say Salaam and walk away

- Spend part of their night standing and prostrating before their Lord -Ask Allah SWT to avert the punishment of the Hellfire from them

- Spend moderately in the way of Allah SWT

- Do not commit Shirk

- Do not kill innocent people

- Do not commit unlawful sexual intercourse

- Repent and do righteous deeds -Do not testify to falsehood

- Pay attention to the Ayaat of Allah SWT -Make du'a for a righteous spouse and offspring

➖Are we Thad ur Rahman?

Adopt these character traits because Allah SWT calls them "The Servants of the Most Merciful"

- Do not participate in Laghw and dirty talk, leave such gatherings with dignity (see 25:63-76)

➖SURAH ASH-SHU'ARA

- If you are starting out a religious project but are scared of the people's attitude then take the help of a righteous companion. Learn to delegate work. Do not take all the responsibilities on yourself. It helps in focusing better, being steady and including others in the khair.

- It is not from our religion to remind others of our favors. Allah SWT enabled us to help others so be humble.

Be patient when doing da'wah. If they call you names, do not take it personally. Allah SWT has chosen you as an Ambassador of His Deen. It's an honor in itself!

- Emaan gives you strength - if it's difficult for you to act on the commands of Allah SWT or you easily get hurt or angry at what people say, then you need to work on your emaan.

When people discourage you or stop you from working in the path of

Allah SWT because of the challenges, remember what Musa AS said,

It teaches us that a leader should not be a coward.

"With me is my Lord He will guide me.." (26:62)

➖Prophet Ibraheem's (AS) Introduction of Allah SWT to His People

- He created me, and He guides me

- He feeds me and gives me drink -When I am ill He cures me (see 26:78-82)

- He will cause me to die and bring me back to life

- It is He Who I aspire will forgive me my sins on the Day of Judgment

Prophet Ibraheem (AS) asks Allah SWT for Hukm - wisdom and decision making power.

رَبِّ هَبْ لِي حُكْمًا وَأَلْحِقْنِي بِالصَّالِحِينَ

"My Lord, grant me authority and join me with the righteous." (26:83)

Wisdom and the ability to take the right decision at the right time is a blessing of Allah SWT that allows a person to succeed in life. Whoever gets the company of the righteous, their worldly life becomes Jannah! They neither hear hurtful speech nor participate in disobedience.

Other than making our own du'as, we should memorize and make the Du'as that the prophets (AS) made because they "knew" what to ask for.

Qalbun Saleem will help you tomorrow, so work on purifying your heart.

➖SURAH AN-NAML

- Prophet Dawud (AS) and Suleiman (AS) teach us to give thanks to Allah SWT at every step. When they were given knowledge that others didn't have they said,

"Praise lis duel to Allah, who has favored us over many of His believing servants." (27:15)

We should ask Allah SWT to help us recognize His favors upon us and do shukr.

- The Anbiya used to "smile" not laugh loudly. Check your laughter.

- Prophet Suleiman's (AS) Du'a

رَبِّ أَوْزِعْنِي أَنْ أَشْكُرَ نِعْمَتَكَ الَّتِي أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيَّ وَعَلَى وَالِدَيَّ وَأَنْ أَعْمَلَ صَالِحًا تَرْضَاهُ وَأَدْخِلْنِي بِرَحْمَتِكَ فِي عِبَادِكَ الصَّالِحِينَ

My Lord, enable me to be grateful for Your favor which You have bestowed upon me and upon my parents and to do righteousness of which You approve. And admit me by Your mercy into [the ranks of] Your righteous servants." (27:19)

- If you are in a responsible position such as you are a parent, a husband or a leader, then look after those under your care

- A leader should verify information before reacting to it

- Start a letter/communication with Basmalah [Bismillah, not 786 digits]

- A leader should consult with his team when taking a decision

- Two qualities to qualify for a job: trustworthiness and required skill

- A person can achieve with knowledge and wisdom what cannot be done with strength. O Allah! Please teach us hikmah and beneficial knowledge (with afiya), ameen.

- Another instance when Prophet Suleiman (AS) thanks Allah SWT:

"This is from the favor of my Lord to test me whether I will be grateful or ungrateful. And whoever is grateful - his gratitude is only for [the benefit of] himself. And whoever is ungrateful - then indeed, my Lord is Free of need and Generous." (27:40)

JUZ 19 - பாடங்கள்

➖சூரா அல்-ஃபுர்கான்

மறுமை நாளில் மக்கள் வருந்துவார்கள்:

"ஓ, நான் மெசஞ்சர் வழியை எடுத்திருக்க விரும்புகிறேன்." (25:27)

"ஐயோ, ஐயோ! நான் அவரை ஒரு நண்பராக எடுத்துக் கொள்ளாமல் இருந்திருக்க விரும்புகிறேன்." (25:28)

நம் வழிகளை சீர்படுத்த வேண்டிய நேரம் இது! நாங்கள் இன்னும் சுவாசிக்கிறோம், எனவே நாம் ஏன் குர்ஆனுடன் இணைத்து ரசூலுல்லாஹ் (ஸல்) அவர்களின் ஸீரா மற்றும் ஸுன்னாவை இப்போது படிக்கக்கூடாது? நமது நண்பர்கள் யார்? அவர்கள் நம்மை அல்லாஹ்விடம் அழைக்கிறார்களா அல்லது அல்லாஹ்வின் கீழ்ப்படியாமை நிகழ்வுகளுக்கு மட்டும் அழைக்கிறார்களா?

உங்கள் நண்பர்கள் தங்கள் பிரார்த்தனைகளையும் மற்ற மதக் கடமைகளையும் புறக்கணித்தால் அவர்கள் உங்கள் நண்பர்கள் அல்ல. உங்கள் மறுமையைக் காப்பாற்றி, நேர்மையான தோழர்களைத் தேடுங்கள்.

➖ஒரு நல்ல நண்பரின் நான்கு குணங்கள்

- அவர்கள் உங்களுக்கு அல்லாஹ் SWTயை நினைவூட்டுகிறார்கள்

- நீங்கள் அவர்களை சந்திக்கும் போது உங்களுக்கு ஒரு ஈமான் ஊக்கம் கிடைக்கும்

- அவர்கள் உங்கள் முஹ்சின்கள், சியர்லீடர்கள் அல்ல. உங்க���ிடம் என்ன தவறு இருக்கிறது என்பதை அவர்கள் சுட்டிக்காட்டுகிறார்கள், அதை நீங்கள் சரிசெய்ய முடியும். உங்கள் தவறுகளை அவர்கள் கண்ணை மூடிக் கொள்ள மாட்டார்கள். அறிவுக் கூட்டங்களில் கலந்துகொள்ள உங்களை ஊக்குவித்து ஆதரிக்கிறார்கள்

சில சமயங்களில் நல்லவர்களுடன் பழக வேண்டும் அல்லது குர்ஆனைப் படிக்க வேண்டும், தீனைப் பற்றிய அறிவைப் பெற விரும்புகிறோம், ஆனால் நாம் ஒரு வழியைக் கண்டுபிடிக்க முடியாத ஒரு நிறுவனத்தில் சிக்கிக் கொள்கிறோம். ஒவ்வொரு முறையும் நாம் ஒரு நல்ல பழக்கத்தை கடைப்பிடிக்க அல்லது அல்லாஹ்வின் அருகில் செல்ல முடிவு செய்யும் போது நமது சமூக வட்டம் நம்மை திசை திருப்புகிறது. மறுமையில் மக்கள் படும் வருந்தங்களைப் பற்றி அறிந்து, அத்தகைய நிறுவனத்தை விட்டு வெளியேறுவதற்கு ஒருவர் பாடுபட வேண்டும்.

- அவர்கள் ஏன் நேர்வழியைப் பின்பற்றவில்லை என்று சீடர்கள் குறை கூறுவது மட்டுமல்லாமல், நபி (ஸல்) அவர்களும் அல்லாஹ்விடம் முறையிடுவார்கள்:

"என் இறைவா, நிச்சயமாக என் மக்கள் இந்த குர்ஆனை கைவிடப்பட்டதாக எடுத்துக் கொண்டார்கள்.." (25:30)

நாங்கள் உம்மத்தி - குர்ஆனைப் பற்றிக் கொண்டிருக்கிறோமா அல்லது கைவிட்டோமா?

➖IBN QAYYIM அவர்களால் குர்ஆன் கைவிடப்பட்ட நிலைகள்

1) அதைக் கேட்பதையும் அதை நம்புவதையும் கைவிட வேண்டும்

2) ஒருவர் அதை நம்பி ஓதினாலும், அதன் மீது செயல்படுவதை விட்டுவிட்டு, அதன் சட்டபூர்வமான மற்றும் தடைசெய்யப்பட்ட (ஹலால் மற்றும் ஹராம்) புறக்கணித்தல்

3) மதத்தின் சாராம்சத்திலோ அல்லது பிற விஷயங்களிலோ வேறுபாடுகள் இருக்கும்போது அதைக் கொண்டு தீர்ப்பளிப்பதை விட்டுவிட்டு நீதிபதியாக அதை நாடுதல்

4) அதைப் பற்றி யோசிப்பதை விட்டுவிட்டு, அதைப் புரிந்துகொண்டு, அதன் விளக்கத்தைத் தேடுவது 5) இதயத்தின் அனைத்து வகையான நோய்களுக்கும் மருந்தாகப் பயன்படுத்துவதை விட்டுவிட்டு, வேறு வழிகளில் இந்த நோய்களைக் குணப்படுத்த முயற்சிப்பது.

மனச்சோர்வு, சோகம், பொறாமை, வெறுப்பு, வெறுப்பு, போன்ற அனைத்து ஆன்மீக நோய்களுக்கும் குரானில் மருந்து உள்ளது.

வெறுப்பு, மற்றும் மூடநம்பிக்கைகள். நீங்கள் குர்ஆனை ஓதும்போது உங்கள் இதயத்தை குணப்படுத்துமாறு அல்லாஹ்விடம் கேளுங்கள். சூரா அல்-பகரா மற்றும் சூரா அல்-ஃபாத்திஹாவின் ஆயத்தை தினமும் ஓதி, ஷைத்தானை வெளியேற்றவும். - குர்ஆன் படிப்படியாக வெளிப்படுத்தப்பட்டது, இதனால் மக்கள் அதைப் படிக்கவும் புரிந்துகொள்ளவும் நேரம் ஒதுக்குகிறார்கள் - ஒரு நேரத்தில் ஒரு வசனம் மற்றும் அவசரப்பட வேண்டாம். குர்ஆனை நாம் எப்படி ஓதுவது?

➖நம்மில் பலர் சூரா அல்லது ஜூஸை "முடிப்பதில்" கவனம் செலுத்துகிறோம்.

படிப்படியாக படிப்பதன் மூலம், மக்கள் தங்கள் அன்றாட வாழ்வில் அதன் ஆயத்தை செயல்படுத்தலாம், அதாவது ஒரு நபர் சம்பாதிப்பதற்கான ஹராம் ஆதாரங்களை அடையாளம் கண்டுகொள்வது, ஹலால் விருப்பங்களைத் தேர்ந்தெடுப்பது, ஹிஜாபின் முக்கியத்துவத்தைப் புரிந்துகொள்வது, ஒரு பெண் உடனடியாக அதை ஏற்றுக்கொள்வது மற்றும் அங்கிருந்து ஜில்பாப் அணியத் தொடங்குவது. நீண்ட, தளர்வான வெளிப்புற மூடுதல்] பின்னர் நிகாப், இன் ஷா அல்லாஹ். குர்ஆனைப் படிப்படியாகப் புரிந்துகொள்வது, செய்தியை நம் இதயங்களில் உறுதியாக நிலைநிறுத்த அனுமதிக்கிறது, மேலும் நாம் அதைச் செயல்படுத்தத் தூண்டப்படுகிறோம். அல்குர்ஆனை நம்பி ஓதாமல், அதன் போதனைகளை அன்றாட காரியங்களில் செயல்படுத்துபவர்களாக அல்லாஹ் நம்மை ஆக்குவானாக, ஆமீன்.

- குர்ஆனுடன் உறவை வளர்த்துக் கொள்பவர்கள் (தினமும் ஓதுகிறார்கள், படிப்பார்கள், கற்பிக்கிறார்கள்) அவர்களின் வாழ்க்கைச் சூழ்நிலைக்கேற்ப அதிலிருந்து வழிகாட்டுதலைப் பெறுகிறார்கள். நாம் தொலைந்து குழப்பமடைந்தால், குர்ஆனுடனான நமது உறவில் நாம் பணியாற்ற வேண்டும்.

- தீனைப் பின்பற்றுவதால் மக்கள் அவர்களிடம் சொல்லும் விஷயங்களால் ஒருவர் மனம் நொந்தால், அத்தகைய நபர் நபி (ஸல்) அவர்களின் கஷ்டங்களை நினைவுபடுத்த வேண்டும். இன்று நம்மை ஏளனம் செய்கிறார்கள், நாளை கேலி செய்யப்படுபவர்கள்.

- உங்கள் நஃப்ஸை உங்கள் கடவுளாக்காதீர்கள். "நான் ஹிஜாப் அணிய முடியாது, ஏனென்றால் நான் கூட்டத்தில் ஒற்றைப்படையை குத்த விரும்பவில்லை" அல்லது "நான் ஃபேஷன் போக்குகளைப் பின்பற்ற விரும்புகிறேன்" என்று கூறாதீர்கள். உங்கள் வீட்டில் ஆடை அணியுங்கள்.

- அல்லாஹ் SWT கூறுகிறான்: குர்ஆனுடன் போராடு - ஒரு பெரிய முயற்சி.

➖குர்ஆனைக் கொண்டு முயற்சி செய்வதன் அர்த்தம் என்ன?

குர்ஆனின் படி வாழ்வது + அதன் செய்தியை மற்றவர்களுக்கு தெரிவிப்பது

குர்ஆனை பரப்புவதில் நமது பங்கு என்ன? நாம் என்ன செய்து கொண்டிருக்கின்றோம்?

இது உங்கள் வேலை என்று அல்லாஹ் குர்ஆனில் கூறுகிறான்!

உங்கள் திறமைகள், செல்வம், வளங்கள் மற்றும் நேரத்தை பயன்படுத்தி குர்ஆனை பரப்புங்கள்.

மக்கள் தங்கள் வணிகங்களை ஊக்குவிப்பதிலும் விரிவுபடுத்துவதிலும் தங்களைப் பயிற்சி செய்கிறார்கள்

அல்லாஹ்வின் டீன் "மார்க்கெட்டிங்கில்" நாம் ஏன் பயிற்சி பெற முடியாது?

- அல்லாஹ் SWT இரண்டு கடல்களை உருவாக்கினான், ஒன்று புதிய மற்றும் இனிப்பு மற்றும் ஒரு உப்பு மற்றும் கசப்பு

அத்தகையவர்கள் - வெவ்வேறு ஆளுமைகளைக் கொண்டவர்கள். நம் வாழ்க்கைத் துணைவர்கள், குழந்தைகள், உடன்பிறந்தவர்கள், சக ஊழியர்கள் நம்மைப் போல் இருக்க முடியாது. நாங்கள் வித்தியாசமாக இருக்கிறோம், ஒவ்வொருவருக்கும் அதன் சொந்த பங்கு உள்ளது. வித்தியாசத்தை உணர்ந்து இலக்கில் கவனம் செலுத்துங்கள்.

சில நேரங்களில் ஒரு நபர் மிகவும் கசப்பான சூழலில் இருக்கலாம், ஆனால் அவர் அவர்களைப் போல இருக்க வேண்டிய அவசியமில்லை. அவர் இனிமையாக இருக்க முடியும் மற்றும் அல்லாஹ்வின் தீனை பரப்ப முடியும்.

➖இபாத் உர் ரஹ்மானின் குணங்கள் [மிக இரக்கமுள்ளவர்களின் ஊழியர்கள்]

- பூமியில் பணிவுடன் நட

- அறியாதவர் அவர்களைக் கடுமையாகப் பேசினால், சலாம் சொல்லிவிட்டுப் போய்விடுவார்கள்

- அவர்களின் இரவின் ஒரு பகுதியை நின்று கொண்டும், தங்கள் இறைவனுக்கு சிரம் பணிந்தும் செலவிடுங்கள் - நரக நெருப்பின் தண்டனையைத் தடுக்க அல்லாஹ்விடம் கேளுங்கள்.

- அல்லாஹ்வின் பாதையில் மிதமாகச் செலவிடுங்கள்

- ஷிர்க் செய்யாதீர்கள்

- அப்பாவி மக்களைக் கொல்லாதீர்கள்

- சட்டவிரோத உடலுறவில் ஈடுபடாதீர்கள்

- மனந்திரும்புங்கள் மற்றும் நேர்மையான செயல்களைச் செய்யுங்கள் - பொய்க்கு சாட்சியமளிக்காதீர்கள்

- அல்லாஹ்வின் ஆயத்திற்கு கவனம் செலுத்துங்கள் SWT - நேர்மையான மனைவி மற்றும் சந்ததியினருக்காக துஆ செய்யுங்கள்

➖நாங்கள் தாத் உர் ரஹ்மானா?

இந்த குணாதிசயங்களை ஏற்றுக்கொள்ளுங்கள், ஏனெனில் அல்லாஹ் SWT அவர்களை "மிக இரக்கமுள்ளவர்களின் ஊழியர்கள்" என்று அழைக்கிறான்.

- சிரிப்பு மற்றும் அழுக்கு பேச்சுகளில் பங்கேற்காதீர்கள், அத்தகைய கூட்டங்களை கண்ணியத்துடன் விட்டுவிடுங்கள் (பார்க்க 25:63-76)

➖சூரா ஆஷ்-ஷுஆரா

- நீங்கள் ஒரு மதத் திட்டத்தைத் தொடங்குகிறீர்கள், ஆனால் மக்களின் அணுகுமுறையைப் பார்த்து பயப்படுகிறீர்கள் என்றால், ஒரு நேர்மையான தோழரின் உதவியைப் பெறுங்கள். வேலையை ஒப்படைக்க கற்றுக்கொள்ளுங்கள். எல்லா பொறுப்புகளையும் உங்கள் மீது சுமக்க வேண்டாம். இது சிறப்பாக கவனம் செலுத்தவும், நிலையாக இருக்கவும், முடியில் மற்றவர்களை உள்ளடக்கவும் உதவுகிறது.

- நமது நன்மைகளை மற்றவர்களுக்கு நினைவூட்டுவது நமது மதத்தில் இல்லை. அல்லாஹ் SWT மற்றவர்களுக்கு உதவ எங்களுக்கு உதவினான், அதனால் தாழ்மையுடன் இருக்க வேண்டும்.

தஃவா செய்யும் போது பொறுமையாக இருங்கள். அவர்கள் உங்களைப் பெயர் சொல்லி அழைத்தால், அதை தனிப்பட்ட முறையில் எடுத்துக் கொள்ளாதீர்கள். அல்லாஹ் SWT உங்களை தனது தீனின் தூதராக தேர்ந்தெடுத்துள்ளான். அது தானே ஒரு மரியாதை!

- ஈமான் உங்களுக்கு பலம் தருகிறார் - அல்லாஹ்வின் கட்டளைகளின்படி செயல்படுவது உங்களுக்கு கடினமாக இருந்தால் அல்லது மக்கள் சொல்வதைக் கண்டு நீங்கள் எளிதில் புண்படுவதாலோ அல்லது கோபப்படுவதாலோ, உங்கள் ஈமானில் நீங்கள் வேலை செய்ய வேண்டும்.

மக்கள் உங்களை ஊக்கப்படுத்தும்போது அல்லது பாதையில் வேலை செய்வதைத் தடுக்கும்போது

சவால்களின் காரணமாக அல்லாஹ் SWT, மூசா AS கூறியதை நினைவில் வையுங்கள்,

ஒரு தலைவன் கோழையாக இருக்கக் கூடாது என்று நமக்குப் போதிக்கிறது.

"என் இறைவன் என்னுடன் இருக்கிறான் அவன் எனக்கு வழிகாட்டுவான்..." (26:62)

➖நபி இப்ராஹிம் (AS) அவர்களின் மக்களுக்கு அல்லாஹ்வின் அறிமுகம்

- அவர் என்னைப் படைத்தார், அவர் என்னை வழிநடத்துகிறார்

- அவர் எனக்கு உணவளித்து குடிக்கக் கொடுக்கிறார் - நான் நோய்வாய்ப்பட்டால் அவர் என்னை குணப்படுத்துகிறார் (பார்க்க 26:78-82)

- அவர் என்னை மரணிக்கச் செய்து என்னை உயிர்ப்பிப்பார்

- தீர்ப்பு நாளில் என் பாவங்களை மன்னிப்பார் என்று நான் ஆசைப்படுகிறேன்

நபி இப்ராஹிம் (AS) அல்லாஹ்விடம் ஹக்ம் - ஞானம் மற்றும் முடிவெடுக்கும் சக்தியைக் கேட்கிறார்.

رَبِّ هَبْ لِي حُكْمًا وَأَلْحِقْنِي بِالصَّالِحِينَ

"என் இறைவா, எனக்கு அதிகாரம் அளித்து, நல்லவர்களுடன் என்னை இணைத்துவிடு." (26:83)

ஞானமும் சரியான நேரத்தில் சரியான முடிவை எடுக்கும் திறனும் அல்லாஹ்வின் ஆசீர்வாதமாகும், இது ஒரு நபரை வாழ்க்கையில் வெற்றிபெற அனுமதிக்கிறது. எவர் சன்மார்க்கத்தின் சகவாசத்தைப் பெறுகிறாரோ அவர்களின் உலக வாழ்க்கை ஜன்னமாகிறது! அவர்கள் புண்படுத்தும் பேச்சைக் கேட்பதில்லை அல்லது கீழ்ப்படியாமையில் பங்கேற்க மாட்டார்கள்.

சொந்தமாக துஆச் செய்வதைத் தவிர, நபியவர்கள் (அலை) அவர்கள் என்ன கேட்க வேண்டும் என்று "தெரிந்தார்கள்" என்பதற்காக அவர்கள் செய்த துஆக்களை மனப்பாடம் செய்து செய்ய வேண்டும்.

கல்புன் சலீம் நாளை உங்களுக்கு உதவுவார், எனவே உங்கள் இதயத்தை தூய்மைப்படுத்துவதில் பணியாற்றுங்கள்.

➖சூரா ஆன்-நாம்

- நபி தாவூத் (AS) மற்றும் சுலைமான் (AS) ஒவ்வொரு அடியிலும் அல்லாஹ் SWT க்கு நன்றி செலுத்த கற்றுக்கொடுக்கிறார்கள். பிறரிடம் இல்லாத அறிவு அவர்களுக்குக் கொடுக்கப்பட்டபோது அவர்கள் கூறினார்கள்.

"அல்லாஹ்வுக்கு துதிகள் வணக்கம், அவர் நம்பிக்கை கொண்ட தனது பல அடியார்களை விட எங்களுக்கு நன்மை செய்துள்ளார்." (27:15)

அல்லாஹ் SWT யிடம் அவன் நமக்கு செய்த அருட்கொடைகளை அடையாளம் கண்டு சுக்ர் செய்ய உதவும்படி கேட்க வேண்டும்.

- அன்பியா சத்தமாக சிரிக்காமல் "புன்னகை" கொண்டிருந்தாள். உங்கள் சிரிப்பை சரிபார்க்கவும்.

- நபி சுலைமான் (அலை) அவர்களின் துஆ

أنْ أرَ ِرَ الّானது

என் இறைவா, நீ எனக்கும் என் பெற்றோர் மீதும் செய்த உனது கருணைக்கு நன்றி செலுத்தவும், நீ அங்கீகரிக்கும் நன்னெறியைச் செய்யவும் எனக்கு உதவுவாயாக. உனது கருணையினால் என்னை உனது நேர்மையான அடியார்களில் சேர்த்துவிடு." (27:19)

- நீங்கள் ஒரு பெற்றோர், கணவர் அல்லது தலைவர் போன்ற பொறுப்பான நிலையில் இருந்தால், உங்கள் பராமரிப்பில் உள்ளவர்களைக் கவனித்துக் கொள்ளுங்கள்

- ஒரு தலைவர் அதற்கு எதிர்வினையாற்றுவதற்கு முன் தகவலை சரிபார்க்க வேண்டும்

- பாஸ்மலாவுடன் கடிதம்/தொடர்புகளைத் தொடங்கவும் [பிஸ்மில்லா, 786 இலக்கங்கள் அல்ல]

- ஒரு தலைவர் ஒரு முடிவை எடுக்கும்போது தனது குழுவுடன் கலந்தாலோசிக்க வேண்டும்

- ஒரு வேலைக்குத் தகுதிபெற இரண்டு குணங்கள்: நம்பகத்தன்மை மற்றும் தேவையான திறன்

- ஒருவன் பலத்தால் செய்ய முடியாததை அறிவாலும் ஞானத்தாலும் சாதிக்க முடியும். யா அல்லாஹ்! தயவு செய்து எங்களுக்கு ஹிக்மா மற்றும் பயனுள்ள அறிவை (ஆஃபியாவுடன்) கற்றுக்கொடுங்கள், ஆமீன்.

- நபி சுலைமான் (AS) அல்லாஹ்வுக்கு நன்றி தெரிவிக்கும் மற்றொரு நிகழ்வு:

"நான் நன்றியுள்ளவனாக இருப்பேனா அல்லது நன்றி கெட்டவனாக இருப்பேனா என்று என்னைச் சோதிப்பதற்காக இது என் இறைவனின் அருளிலிருந்து வருகிறது. மேலும் எவன் நன்றியுள்ளவனாக இருக்கிறானோ - அவனுடைய நன்றி தனக்காக மட்டுமே. மேலும் எவன் நன்றி கெட்டவனாக இருக்கிறானோ - நிச்சயமாக என் இறைவன் அதிலிருந்து விடுபட்டவன். தேவை மற்றும் தாராளமான."

Surah Qaf: 16

وَلَقَدۡ خَلَقۡنَا الۡاِنۡسَانَ وَنَعۡلَمُ مَا تُوَسۡوِسُ بِهٖ نَفۡسُهٗ ۖۚ وَنَحۡنُ اَقۡرَبُ اِلَيۡهِ مِنۡ حَبۡلِ الۡوَرِيۡدِ ١٦

- khalaqna alinsana wanaAAlamu ma tuwaswisu bihi nafsuhu wanahnu aqrabu ilayhi min habli alwareedi-

“Dan sungguh, Kami telah menciptakan manusia dan mengetahui apa yang dibisikkan oleh hatinya, dan Kami lebih dekat kepadanya daripada urat lehernya.”

Subhanallah. Always remember that Allah SWT is closer to us than our carotid artery (consciousness).

Ibn al Qayyim رحمه الله

A friend will not (literally) share your struggles and a loved one cannot physically take away your pain and a close one will not stay up the night on your behalf.

So look after yourself, protect yourself, nurture yourself and don't give life's events more than what they are really worth.

Know for certain that when you break no one will heal you except you and when you are defeated no one will give you victory except your determination.

Your ability to stand up again and carry on is your responsibility.

Do not look for your self worth in the eyes of people; look for your worth from within your conscious. If your conscious is at peace then you will ascend high and if you truly know yourself then what is said about you won't harm you.

Do not carry the worries of this life because this is for Allah. And do not carry the worries of sustenance because it is from Allah. And do not carry the anxiety for the future because it is in the Hands of Allah.

Carry one thing: How to Please Allah. Because if you please Him, He pleases you, fulfils you and enriches you.

Do not weep from a life that made your heart weep. Just say, "Oh Allah compensate me with good in this life and the hereafter."

Sadness departs with a Sajdah. Happiness comes with a sincere Du'aa. Allah does not forget the good you do. Nor does he forget the good you did to others and the pain you relieved them from. Nor will He forget the eye which was about to cry but you made it laugh.

Live your life with this principle:

“Be good even if you don't receive good, not because of others' sake but because Allah loves those who do good.”

Imām as-Sa’dī (رحمه الله) said,

“And among the beneficial affairs is to know that the harm of the people against you, especially evil speech - does not harm you; rather it harms them, unless you preoccupy yourself by giving it importance and [thus] it dominates your emotions, then it will harm you as it harms them. Indeed, it will not harm you in anyway if you pay no attention to it.”

Al-Hāfidh ibn Hajar (رحمه الله) says regarding this in ‘Fath al-Bārī (6/483)’,

"The one who is sincere to Allāh, does not experience harm through trials.‎ And Allāh gives ways out for His awliyā’ during trials!"

“Be noble even in the situations where nobody sees you or know about it. Real nobleness is to do good things secretly.” - Mohammed Alrotayyan

How to Logically Prove to a Non Muslim the Existence of Heaven and Hell - Dr Zakir Naik

Narrated Anas: The Prophet ﷺ said, "None of you will have faith till he wishes for his (Muslim) brother what he likes for himself." --- حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم‏.‏ وَعَنْ حُسَيْنٍ الْمُعَلِّمِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا قَتَادَةُ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏"‏ لا يُؤْمِنُ أَحَدُكُمْ حَتَّى يُحِبَّ لأَخِيهِ مَا يُحِبُّ لِنَفْسِهِ ‏"‏‏.‏ ( Sahih al-Bukhari, Book of Belief, Hadith 12 )

[bleedingmusk]

People may tell you that your belief is weak if you keep crying. Your parents might tell you if you prayed more you wouldn't be going through depression. The advice you hear from people if you read Quran more,if you were a better believer you wouldn't be sad and wouldn't have these problems. People tell you that you should *get over it*.

But then you do pray, and you're unable to stop crying. And then you do read Quran and your depression is crippling. And you do make Dua sincere, overwhelmingly emotional, present Dua and yet you don't feel better and you feel like nothing has changed.

And so yourself wonder : is Allaah angry with me? Allaah is not answering my Dua because I'm not good enough? Am i going through all of this because Allaah is punishing me? I can't get over it because my faith is not strong?

When you have these thoughts, remember :

Yaqub عليه سلام cried so much at the loss of his son Yusuf عليه سلام. He wasn't sad for days and month or a year. He was distraught for decades. His tears flowed so intensely that his eyesight was depleted.

Yaqub عليه سلام said

وَتَوَلَّىٰ عَنۡهُمۡ وَقَالَ يَٰٓأَسَفَىٰ عَلَىٰ يُوسُفَ وَٱبۡيَضَّتۡ عَيۡنَاهُ مِنَ ٱلۡحُزۡنِ فَهُوَ كَظِيمٌ.

And he turned away from them and said, "Oh, my sorrow over Joseph," and his eyes became white from grief, for he was [of that] a suppressor.

And despite his tears, despite his very human sadness, he was amongst the best of believers Allaah placed on the earth. His sorrow and tears did not mean his belief (faith/Iman) in Allaah was weak or his trust in Allaah wavered or he ever became hopeless in Allaah infact he said;

قَالَ إِنَّمَا أَشْكُو بَثِّي وَحُزْنِي إِلَى اللّهِ

He said: "I only complain of my grief and sorrow to Allah."

Despite this he said :

وَلَا تَيْأَسُواْ مِن رَّوْحِ اللّهِ إنَّهُ لَا يَيْأَسُ مِن رَّوْحِ اللّهِ إِلاَّ الْقَوْمُ الْكَافِرُونَ

..and despair not of relief from Allah . Indeed, no one despairs of relief from Allah except the disbelieving people."

And the prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم had the Quran revealed directly to him. He prayed the longest, with the most intense concentration and with the strongest relationship with Allaah ever possible and yet he still missed Khadijah (رضي الله عنه).

10 years after her death missing her longing for her, having 9 other wives yet no one fulfilled her absence.

He did not *get over her*. He moved forward with his life, but he missed her intensely to the point he would get excited over hearing the voice of Khadijah رضي الله عنه niece thinking it would be the voice of Khadijah and then he would weep profoundly. And it's okay that it hurts.

He صلى الله عليه وسلم cried at his mother's grave decades after her passing. It didn't diminish the strength of his faith. He wept as he held his dying son and it didn't decrease his trust in Allaah's wisdom.

His having a strong relationship with Allaah didn't mean his life didn't had issues and heartaches. If the most spiritually connected person who knew the most Quran and did the most worship could suffer from such intense emotional loss and pain then what about us?

Salah, Dua and the Quran are the life vests to keep us afloat when we're drowning. It doesn't mean we won't be thrust in an ocean. It doesn't mean we won't sometimes feel like we can't breathe and like we're being dragged under. But even when facing the highest wave, even if at times we're swallowing water and gasping for air, it's knowing Someone Who will bring us back and keep us afloat and help us get back to the safety of land again.

[honoredquran]

Wishes

Or is there for man whatever he wishes? (Quran, 53:24)

In the name of the Most Compassionate, Most Merciful Allah

One of the beautiful comforts of life is to know He knows. Allah knows what is good for you. Allah knows your pain. Allah knows your good intentions. Allah knows your wishes and wants. Allah knows everything. But you don't.

قَالَ إِنِّي أَعْلَمُ مَا لَا تَعْلَمُونَ

Allah said, "Indeed, I know that which you do not know." (2:30)

وَاللَّهُ يَعْلَمُ وَأَنتُمْ لَا تَعْلَمُونَ

And Allah Knows, while you know not. (2:216) Man complains of not getting what he wants. Yet so many times, if he was granted what he wished, he will be ruined and destroyed. وَلَوْ بَسَطَ اللَّهُ الرِّزْقَ لِعِبَادِهِ لَبَغَوْا فِي الْأَرْضِ وَلَٰكِن يُنَزِّلُ بِقَدَرٍ مَّا يَشَاءُ ۚ إِنَّهُ بِعِبَادِهِ خَبِيرٌ بَصِيرٌ

And if Allah had extended [excessively] provision for His slaves, they would have committed tyranny throughout the earth. But He sends [it] down in an amount which He wills. Indeed He is, of His servants, Acquainted and Seeing. (42:47) Man complains of calamities and sadness. But perhaps through the ordeal Allah wishes to purify him and strengthen him, and Allah wishes for him to come close and display his patience.

وَأَيُّوبَ إِذْ نَادَىٰ رَبَّهُ أَنِّي مَسَّنِيَ الضُّرُّ وَأَنتَ أَرْحَمُ الرَّاحِمِينَ * فَاسْتَجَبْنَا لَهُ فَكَشَفْنَا مَا بِهِ مِن ضُرٍّ ۖ وَآتَيْنَاهُ أَهْلَهُ وَمِثْلَهُم مَّعَهُمْ رَحْمَةً مِّنْ عِندِنَا وَذِكْرَىٰ لِلْعَابِدِينَ

And [mention] Ayyub, when he called to his Lord, "Indeed, adversity has touched me, and you are the Most Merciful of the merciful." Then We responded to him; so We lifted off the adversity that was upon him, And We gave him [back] his family and the like thereof with them as mercy from Us and a reminder for the worshippers. (21:84)

So many times man is depressed, anxious and worried. He is sad for his past and worried for his future. But man should take comfort in Allah's overwhelming power, His infinite wisdom, His care and compassion, His doing what is best and His knowing all things. He should take solace in Allah's predestination.

وَأَوْحَيْنَا إِلَىٰ أُمِّ مُوسَىٰ أَنْ أَرْضِعِيهِ ۖ فَإِذَا خِفْتِ عَلَيْهِ فَأَلْقِيهِ فِي الْيَمِّ وَلَا تَخَافِي وَلَا تَحْزَنِي ۖ إِنَّا رَادُّوهُ إِلَيْكِ وَجَاعِلُوهُ مِنَ الْمُرْسَلِينَ

And We inspired to the mother of Moses, "Suckle him; but when you fear for him, cast him into the river and do not fear and do not grieve. Indeed, We will return him to you and will make him [one] of the messengers." (28:7)

Ibn Qayyim said: "Had Allah lifted the veil for his servant and shown him how He handles his affairs for him, and how Allah is more keen for the benefit of the servant than his own self, his heart would have melted out of the love for Allah and would have been torn to pieces out of thankfulness to Allah.

Therefore, if the pains of this world tire you do not grieve.

For it may be that Allah wishes to hear your voice by way of duaa (supplication).

So pour out your desires in prostration and forget about it and know; that verily Allah does not forget it."

[uma1ra]

Lesson from Prophet Sulaiman (as):

Is it okay for us to make du'a for worldly things?

Should we make du'a for material things in this Dunya or should we only be concerned of the akhira?

This question can be answered by studying the du'a Prophet Sulaiman (as) made.

رَبِّ اغْفِرْ لِي وَهَبْ لِي مُلْكًا لَا يَنْبَغِي لِأَحَدٍ مِنْ بَعْدِي ۖ إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ الْوَهَّابُ

Rabbigh fir lee wa hab lee mulkal laa yambaghee li ahadin min ba'dee innaka Antal Wahhaab

My Lord, forgive me and grant me a kingdom such as will not belong to anyone after me. Indeed, You are the Bestower.

Surah Sad 35

Prophet Sulaiman in this du'a asks Allah (swt) to grant him a kingdom, but not just any kingdom. A kingdom so large no one will be able to have anything like it after him.

But notice how he began this du'a, he starts first by asking for forgiveness. In his heart and his mind, he did not forget or lose sight of the end. It's clear it's not only this Dunya he's concerned about, it's the akhira as well.

We also discussed on day #14 the du'a Prophet Sulaiman (as) made which shows he always remained dutiful and found ways to be grateful to Allah (swt) for the gifts he's been given. This leaves no doubt that wealth or power would corrupt him.

Most men would not be able to hold that position of power, it would be their downfall. So, we have to have the awareness to know whether what we are asking Allah (swt) for would benefit us or destroy us in the long run.

We must also ask ourselves, why he's concerned with having such a big and mighty kingdom?

Answer: Da'wah.

The good that will come from a leader like Sulaiman (as) having the power and wealth is nothing but positive. In fact, the more wealth he has the better it is for everyone, therefore he should be asking for even more.

Key Takeaways:

Asking for success is not inherently bad. That is unless you desire to become a tyrannical dictator. In a plane, what do they tell you? Put your oxygen mask on first before helping others. Asking for this Dunya is fine, most people when they make sure their needs are met would then give - not hoard. That's admirable.

It's important to find out what our strengths and weaknesses are. If you don't believe you have one, that's a lie. We all have unique temperaments and capabilities, and we can develop skills and habits that complement them. Once you identify this, you can then make a pledge to Allah (swt) to use it to strengthen your deen. Striving to leave a lasting legacy, that is not really asking for the Dunya.

We also have to remember to pray for the akhira because this life is just temporary, we must not forget that this. What was the first thing Prophet Sulaiman did when he began this du'a? He says, Rabbigh fir lee meaning my Lord forgive me. Everything he asks only comes after having asked for forgiveness.
