HOW TO ACT DURING HARD TIMES

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yawm al-khamis, 18th day of Jumaad-athaani 1446AH, Thursday. 19th Dec. 2024).

*_HOW TO ACT DURING HARD TIMES_*. Bismillah. 


Whenever some people face hardship, they give up and walk away from their challenges or complain and blame those around them for the failure. They fall into depression, feel sad about their situation, and feel powerless. They don’t understand “why this is happening to them” or “what they did to deserve this”. But for a productive or good practising Muslim with knowledge, his/her way of thinking is completely different and must be.


Whenever a productive Muslim faces hardship, he/she takes a step back from their difficult situation and thinks about it from a higher level. They step back from their life with all its worries, anxieties, and problems, and think about it from an Akhira(hereafter) perspective, then they ask themselves the question: what does this ALL mean when compared to the Hereafter? What does this ALL mean when compared to eternity in Jannah?


One of the main misunderstandings we all have in this life is that if we do good, we should get good in this life and hereafter. This is not entirely true. This life is not the life we’ll get justice in. If this was the case, there would be no need for a Day of Judgement or Akhira. For believers, this life is like you're remaining one month or week to write your final exams. What happens? Sleepless nights, eagerness to be successful, lots of challenges, especially with maths, chemistry, etc, do you really take all that as difficulties that you should give up? No, isn't it? So why depressed and losing your eemaan due to life difficulties? Difficulties are trials from our Creator for us and our relatives to test our eemaan. Let's not fail these test. 


*_May ALLAH keep guiding us through our little efforts to obey HIS rules and regulations in life seeking HIS Jannat_*. Aameen.

NOTHING HAPPENS WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF ALLAH

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm Arba'a. 29th day of Shaw'waal, 1445AH (Wednesday 8th May 2024). *_NOTHING HAPPENS WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF ALLAH_*. BismilLah.  Even though feelings of Panic, stress/worries etc are part of life, they must not reduce our acts of worship or trust in ALLAH. The more a man turns to ALLAH and focuses on HIM, the more he will feel a sense of peace and comfort, to an extent that no one knows except ALLAH. Hence those who know ALLAH, are close to HIM and fear HIM are the happiest of people, to such an extent that one of them said, in a well-known expression: “If the kings and the sons of kings knew what joy we have, they would fight us for it with the sword.” This is also what is expressed in the Qur’an, as ALLAH says: “Whoever works righteousness, whether male or female, while he (or she) is a true believer (of Islamic Monotheism) verily, to him ALLAH will give a good life (in this world with respect, contentment and lawful provision), and ALLAH will ...

Friday and it's dignity.

 Friday and it's dignity. Alhamdulillah, Allah says, Al-Jumu'ah 62:9 يَآأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓاْ إِذَا نُودِيَ لِلصَّلَوٰةِ مِن يَوۡمِ ٱلۡجُمُعَةِ فَٱسۡعَوۡاْ إِلَىٰ ذِكۡرِ ٱللَّهِ وَذَرُواْ ٱلۡبَيۡعَۚ ذَٰلِكُمۡ خَيۡرࣱ لَّكُمۡ إِن كُنتُمۡ تَعۡلَمُونَ O you who have believed, when [the adhān] is called for the prayer on the day of Jumuʿah [Friday], then proceed to the remembrance of Allāh and leave trade. That is better for you, if you only knew. Friday is the best day of the week because it was the day Adam was created, the day he entered paradise and the day he was removed from paradise. it was also the day he died and the hour(qiyaamah) will not come except on this day. Sahih. It was narrated from Aws bin Aws that: The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "Whoever washes (ghassala) and performs ghusl, comes early to the masjid and sits near the imam and does not engage in idle talk, he will have for every step he takes (the reward of) a year's worth of good deeds, fasting it and...

She was well covered and oneday ,she was attacked with her families. This woman was taken away and brought to a man who was the bandits leader.

All the bandits were amazed of what their leader did. Three days later,the man whose sister was there and everyone in the sister knew her brother was wicked man. So every man was sacred. So a stranger walking by saw his sister and he felt in love with her. She went to her and said I wa...
