Don’t Blame Yourself, Work Hard & Move On

Work hard towards achieving what you believe is beneficial for you.

(Prophet Muhammad)

Work Hard

You need a job? Work hard towards it. Use the capacity that the Almighty has given you to achieve it. You’re not feeling well? Go to the doctor, go and do something about it. You want to get married? Get up and do something, talk to people, and try things. Don’t just sit and say: “I believe in the Almighty Allah, He’s predestined everything. If it’s meant to be, it will come to me in my lounge!”

The Almighty gave you the capacity, the technology, the ability… He has written for us things, but obviously He expects us to play our role. Use your capacity, use your brain, use whatever Allah gave you and do your best.

Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said:

A strong believer is better and is more lovable to Allah than a weak believer, and there is good in everyone, (but) cherish that which gives you benefit (in the Hereafter) and seek help from Allah and do not lose heart, and if anything (in the form of trouble) comes to you, don’t say: If I had not done that, it would not have happened so and so, but say: Allah did that what He had ordained to do and your” if” opens the (gate) for the Satan.

(Muslim)

Move on

Don’t say that if I did this, perhaps that will happen. You already did it, close your eyes and carry on; don’t blame yourself and don’t go backward; go forward.

 We all make mistakes, we’re human, we’re prone to error. When you make mistakes, learn to apologize, learn to make amends and learn to progress them, to move forward not backward.

 When you keep on looking back and thinking, “O I made a big mistake”, the Almighty will always forgive you.

Some might say, “what if I have associated partners with the Almighty?”

 I promise you He will forgive that too if you seek the forgiveness. The only time He won’t forgive, perhaps, if a person dies without seeking forgiveness, it’s up to Him, it’s His mercy, He can do what He wants.

But the warnings are connected to after you’ve died if you led a life that was filled of negativity, sin etc. and the Almighty says, “you have yourself to blame.”

 Obviously, He is Most Merciful, He has said that, “if I want, I will forgive you even then.”

SubhanAllah!

But I tell you, there is no point in going back and looking at a door that was closed and crying about it. Move. Life is too short.

List of Times and Places Where Dua is Accepted

A short reminder regarding the recommended times of dua . And I think what you need to know here is that the recommended times of dua or recommended things that can cause your dua to be accepted, can be divided into two sort of large groups: Am I Good Enough to Make Dua for Myself? Situations where your dua is accepted. Times where your dua is accepted So I’m going to very briefly mention them one after the other as much as possible. As for situations where your dua has been accepted: – The person who has been wronged or oppressed . – A person who finds themselves in severe difficulty after a calamity has struck. – The person who is traveling. – Someone who is fasting. – The one who is reciting the Quran or has just recited the Quran – Someone who is performing Hajj or Umrah or jihad. – The one who is making dua for someone in their absence . Because we know that when you make dua for someone in his absence an angel says: “ Ameen and to you”. – A person...

Derechos de Las Mujeres en Islam

Durante el Tiempo del Profeta (la paz sea con él) Veamos cómo fueron tratadas las mujeres de todo el mundo durante la época del Profeta (la paz sea con él). En la Europa del siglo VIII, la religión principal era el catolicismo y durante este tiempo debatían si las mujeres tenían alma. Dijeron que las mujeres eran impuras y que no tenían derecho a la herencia. A las mujeres tampoco se les permitía tocar la Biblia. No era como ahora en el Islam, donde ellas no pueden tocar el Corán durante la menstruación, pero a las mujeres en la Europa del siglo VIII nunca se les permitió tocar la Biblia. En China e India, fueron quemadas vivas cuando murieron sus maridos. En Arabia Saudita practicaron infanticidio femenino en el que, si nacía una niña, la enterrarían viva. Si el marido de una mujer muere, un miembro de su familia se unirá a ella para demostrar que ahora es de su propiedad. Mujeres en el Islam Con el Islam llegó una nueva era para las mujeres. En el Islam, las mujeres tienen la...

Ghuraba (The Strangers): Nasheed with English Subtitles

Islam began as something strange, and it shall return to being something strange, so give glad tidings the strangers. (Sahih Muslim 145) This famous nasheed has many versions; this one is from Muhammad al-Salman and has the subtitles in English embedded. [We are] strangers and we do not bow the foreheads to anyone besides Allah  […] Transliteration to help in the pronounciation:  Ghurabaa’ wa li ghairillaahi laa nahnil jibaa Aisha Stacey  wrote in an article for Aboutislam.net : “I think that many of you would agree that being Muslim in the 21st century makes you well acquainted with being strange. It might even be a metaphor for random, as in you have been randomly selected. […] many converts to Islam will tell you about feeling as if they were strangers, before finding Islam. They will speak of feeling that they belonged somewhere else that their lives were just slightly off center. They often speak about a vague sense of knowing they were not like everyone else...
