Our Biggest Challenge in Deen

 *Our Biggest Challenge in Deen*


_{ Mental Distractions }_


We are living in an era of noise — constant distractions from all directions. Social media, movies, music, gossip, endless scrolling — everything pulling us away from Allah ο·».


Even in salah, our minds wander. 


We remember everything except the One we are standing before.

We’ve become so attached to this dunya — chasing likes, fame, wealth — wanting to be “normal” like everyone else.


Ask yourself *But at what cost?*


We're seeking worldly pleasure with all our might… and forgetting the Hereafter.


Our hearts are tied to TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, and music.

We've lost our focus.

We dream of becoming billionaires — even if the income is haram.


Online businesses built on deceit… lies we know are false.


We betray, we cheat — just to make money, just to “make it.”


You can scroll TikTok for 30 minutes without blinking…

But can’t focus two minutes in salah.


Your heart is active — but not with Allah.


Your constant thought? Dunya.


“I want to be like them.”

“I want to build this.”

“I want to own that.”


Desires have consumed the heart — and we forgot the destroyer of desires: Death.


Death comes without warning.


And with all that you earned… you’ll only take your deeds to the grave.


This dunya is a journey — don’t waste your life pleasing it. 


Please your Lord instead.


Yes, we’re busy — work, school, life — but we must balance between dunya and akhirah.


Use your phone and Use social media.


But remember that Allah is watching.


Post what benefits you. Watch Qur’an recitations, tafsir, reminders.


If you’re addicted to your phone, at least turn that addiction into something halal.


Mental distractions are everywhere. —But never forget your purpose ➮ *You were created to seek Allah’s pleasure, not the dunya’s.*


✅ How to Protect Yourself from Mental Distractions! 


➥ Disconnect Regularly:

Turn off your phone. Sit in silence. Reflect.

Even 10 minutes of quiet dhikr can reset your heart.


➥ Practice Khushu’ in Salah:

Understand what you're saying.

Look at the place of sujood.

Slow down. Feel every moment.


➥ Feed Your Soul Daily:

Qur’an, dhikr, authentic reminders — make it a daily habit.


 “Indeed, in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find rest.”

— [Surah Ar-Ra’d 13:28]


 If you want to stay firm in Deen..... 


➯ Make Du’a Constantly:

“O Turner of hearts, keep my heart firm upon Your religion.”


➱ Choose Your Company Wisely:

Be with those who remind you of Allah — not those who distract you from Him.


➱ Balance Your Life:

Take care of your soul, body, and mind. Sleep well. Eat well. Rest. Learn. Grow.


May Allah guide our hearts.

May He make it easy for us to return to Him.


May He protect us from every distraction that pulls us away.  Allahumma Ameen.

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 ...

HELPING OTHERS WITH INTENTION FOR ALLAH'S HELP IN RETURN

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yaum Al-Khamis, 22nd day of Jumaadal Uula 1447AH, Thursday, 13th November, 2025.  *_HELPING OTHERS WITH INTENTION FOR ALLAH'S HELP IN RETURN_*. BismilLah.  When we help our brothers and sisters in Islam, in reality, we are helping ourselves. The Messenger of ALLAH (S.A.W) said: He who relieves the hardship of a believer in this world, ALLAH Azzawajallah will relieve his hardship on the Day of Judgment. He who makes easy what is difficult, ALLAH ALLAH Azzawajallah will make it easy for him in the world and the hereafter. He who conceals the faults of a Muslim, ALLAH ALLAH Azzawajallah will conceal his faults in this ALLAH Azzawajallah world and the Hereafter, for ALLAH helps the servant as long as he helps his brother. Source: Ṣaḥīḥ "Muslim 2699. AlhamdulilLah.  With this I hope with immediate effect we will all strive to help each other in any possible way such as making dua for each other, supporting our relatives and those in need in ou...

THE MUSLIM WOMAN AND HER OWN SELF

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yawm athalaatha, 3rd day of Rabeeul Awwal 1447AH, Tuesday, 26th August 2025. *_THE MUSLIM WOMAN AND HER OWN SELF_*. BismilLah.  Islam encourages Muslims in general to stand out among people, readily distinguishable by their dress, appearance and behaviour, so that they will be a good example, worthy of the great message that they bring to humanity. According to the hadith narrated by the great Sahabi Ibn al-Hanzaliyyah, the Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wasallam ) told his Companions, when they were travelling to meet some brothers in faith: "You are going to visit your brothers, so repair your saddles and make sure that you are dressed well, so that you will stand out among people like an adornment, for ALLAH (SWT) does not love ugliness." Reported by Imam Abu Dawud, 4/83, in Kitab al-libas, bab ma ja'a fi isbal al-izar. The Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) considered an unkempt and careless appearance, and scruffy clothes and furnishings, to be...
