Yesterday I went to Eid prayer, Alhamdulillah. The sky was amazing and I met my sister's friends too. This is the first time in two years that my sister and her husband go to Eid prayer with me. They spend every Eid with her husband's family, and she feels really unfair because of this. I hope that these meaningless customs and traditions will end. They always put the husband's family before the wife's family. This is disgusting. I hope it ends soon. But I was happy because I prayed in a group with the women, watched the sunrise, and wore wonderful clothes. It was a beautiful time. Thank to Allah.
As Muslims, it is mandatory for us to pray 5 times a day, but it can be challenging to incorporate it as a daily habit. One day, I was feeling down and disheartened, wondering why Allah SWT was making it difficult for me to observe all 5 prayers, given my busy schedule.
Later that day, I found this video on my YouTube notifications page, and Subhan'Allah, Allah SWT had answered my prayer.🥺
الحمد لله 😭
Finally, I can say that missing even one salah takes away my peace.
If you're struggling with the same then this video is for you!
Many of today’s ummah manifest the Islamic faith through the prisms of hate and enmity. They commit atrocities in the name of Allah (ﷻ) and in the name of His beloved Messenger (ﷺ).
Listen up, if you're in pain. Or any situation that makes you feel stuck and you find yourself making Dua for relief desperately...this is for you.
I know, it hurts like hell, you cannot even form words sometimes and all you want is one moment of peace and contentment to enter your heart on what has happened with you. You're making sincere Dua too, I know...but the aching doesn't seem to stop, so you're wondering if your Dua is not sincere enough, what is it that's blocking your way of peace. So remember this, when you ask Allah for contentment in your heart, for healing, don't just sit there and wait for stars to fall in your lap. Allah has repeatedly Told in the Quran, that hearts find rest and peace in the Dhikr of Allah. Yes, you talk to Him, but the biggest physical form of His Dhikr is over there, lying in your shelf. The Quran. His Speech. Glory be to Him. Get up, and open your Mushaf, try reciting with all your heart, go look for the meaning of what you recited, then read it's Tafseer. And then thank Him because He alllowed you to learn something from His Book. Seek His forgiveness for your heedless behaviour towards His Book. Keep doing this as you ask Him to heal you, because in the Quran there is AshShifaa. Cure. The remedy to your bleeding heart, it's there in the Quran. So, seek it.
If you're asking for Eimaan, Taqwa or Tawakkul...do what pleases Him. Leave off desires for His sake. He will grant barakah in your goodness. Don't just ask Him, also show some efforts. Show Him you're trying.
This dunya is a test, you cannot sit in the test and think about answers in the mind...you'll have to lift up the pen and write them down. Mere asking to Allah and not working your part is like waiting for crops without sowing seeds, tending to plants and harvesting. Always remember, the world works by Allah's command, and Allah loves those who are people of cause and action. A Believer doesn't sit idle, he/she gives their 100% at whatever is in their might. In Sha Allah.
the way Islam made sense to me was when I realised how cruel and unfair this world really is.
those who have power, wealth and greed trample on the weak. they use every resource possible to do so. how can I believe this world is the only world that exists after seeing the horrors of this world.
this cannot be it. there must be redemption for every soul who has been wronged.
if you study the islamic religion, you will see the kindness and compassionate ness of the Muslims, some even choose to forgive their own childrens killers.
Islam is beautiful. It brought me peace to my soul.
Terrorism nowadays is a weapon used to IDENTIFY whoever standing against your Ideas and plans.
If I asked you to leave your house with no reason and go away, and you did not! then you're a terrorist to the ISRAELI GOVERNMENT! and you probably don't have the right to stay alive! and then ISRAEL will be HAVING THE RIGHT to defend herself against the TERRORISTS!
So basically, you can find ISRAEL Settlers calling the Hamas Guys Terrorists and they're doing their best to marketing that to the whole world. and unfortunately the side that believing this is the poor one, people who can easily get manipulated by Blurring identity and replace it with the a story wrote by the ones who occupied the land, raped the women close to their men eyes.. slaughtering kids and innocents among years.. targeting the babies in a way of fearing and protecting theirselves later from having these babies grow up and later being a danger to THE ISRAELI SETTLERS.
as per picture, HAMAS didn't kill innocents.. kids and either elders.. and also didn't raped women or tortured them in their jails.. and so far WEST keep calling them Terrorists..
This Ramadan has gone by so quickly. It's scary how time goes by just like that. May Allah grant us time to worship and pray so we can all make it to junnah.
Darkness and seclusions are dangerous. One may like it but as soon as you are alone during the night. Allah says " now only I ﷻcan see my servant " let Meﷻ see if he is mindful of Me ﷻor not. And this is where we cross our limits.
Here is the hadith regarding it and it's very scary
Ibn Maajah (4245) narrated from Thawbaan (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “I certainly know people of my ummah who will come on the Day of Resurrection with good deeds like the mountains of Tihaamah, but Allaah will make them like scattered dust.” Thawbaan said: O Messenger of Allaah, describe them to us and tell us more, so that we will not become of them unknowingly. He said: “They are your brothers and from your race, worshipping at night as you do, but they will be people who, when they are alone, transgress the sacred limits of Allaah.”
