Accept Your Qadar – Have Hope in Allah’s Plan

In order to create hope in Allah, we need to turn back to this verse:

Fighting has been enjoined upon you while it is hateful to you. But perhaps you hate a thing and it is good for you; and perhaps you love a thing and it is bad for you. And Allah Knows, while you know not. (Quran 2:216)

This particular part of the verse, “Allah knows and you do not know” is a key to hope. Why? Because it includes the ihsan (excellence) and tawakkul (trust in Allah).

What does it do? It extinguishes “if” and it extinguishes “why”. “Why did this happen to me? If this had happened…”

This is a message that we should repeat and emphasize again and again in ourselves because it’s the driving vehicle of how we move forward.

So, the verse “Allah knows” creates possibilities of how we can accept and reject Qadar (destiny).

To Reach Serenity, Accept your Qadar

When we accept Qadar that means that we’re accepting what’s going on; we become of the patients. But we also are given two elements:

1- We’re given sakinah (serenity) in our hearts.

2- Allah is then pleased with us and helps us along with this acceptance.

 But many people resist against Qadar.

How?

When something is happening in our lives and we’re losing hope, but we tend to get almost this vision of the way that we want things to move forward in life.

But then, if that doesn’t happen exactly to what we were envisioning, then we start getting very frustrated, we maybe start feeling down, depressed, angry, and maybe we might take it out on other people.

But, this is because of the lack of sakinah, because we’re not accepting the situation that we’re in.

 So, the situation is not going to change. Allah is going to take us down the path of Qadar that He chooses, whether we like it or not. But when we reject it, we’re trying to reject Allah’s choice for us; and that’s when we go into turmoil.

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...
