Powerful Advice from Allah During Trials and Tests

Remember that this whole life according to our religion is a life of test and trials and therefore everyone of us will be tested in different ways.

The one major mechanism to overcome those tests and trials is patience. Seek Allah’s help when you face the calamities, when you have any problems.

Life is difficult, you need help, what help are you going to get? Allah mentions two things:

Seek help through patience and prayer.

Aisha said:

Whenever something bothered the Prophet, he would rush to stand in prayer.

Prayer would make him calm, it would make him conquer those problems, those fears, those frustrations.

So patience and prayers are the two things that Allah has told us to seek help in, and also realize that beautiful verse in the Quran that Allah tells us:

Be patient a beautiful patience.

Patience is of levels and the highest level is beautiful patience. And beautiful patience is one when people don’t even realize you are being patient, nobody know other than Allah that you’re being patient. That is the perfection of patience…

Nobody can see you’re frustrated, nobody can see you’re agitated, nobody can see that you’re feeling anger… You have mastered it so much that only Allah knows and that is the perfection that Allah says:

Perfect your patience until it is a perfect and beautiful patience.

How to be Patient during Trials?

And the final hadith that I’ll remind myself and all of you is that how one achieves patience?

Well, there is no easy mechanism, fasting is one of them, to perfect our fast but the main mechanism of achieving patience is to want patience from Allah to be eager to be patient, to be greedy to be blessed with patience.

And this we learn from the beautiful hadith of Prophet Muhammad:

Whoever desires to be patient, he actively wants to be patient, Allah will give him patience he requires.

What a beautiful hadith. There is no magic trick; there is no mechanism other than wanting to be patient.

When the calamity happens, you realize: “you know what? I need to be patient. O Allah help me to be patient”

You want to be patient, then demonstrate to Allah, show to Allah, have that desire and Allah promised: “You want that patience, you will get it”

Allah tells us in the Quran:

And for your Lord be patient.

If you’re patient for your Lord, then you will get it, and this is by the way of the first commandments that was given to Prophet Muhammad by Allah.

This is a summary of the following video.

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...

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...

Taqwa – Living the Main Purpose of Ramadan

Taqwa is a major purpose for the month of Ramadan. The people of taqwa are those who do the things that they are commanded and avoid the things which Allah has made prohibitive. And evidently, to reach a state of taqwa requires vigilance, it requires patience and sincerity. The verse is pertaining to fasting I found in a single set of verses in chapter 2 starting at verse 183: O you who have believed, decreed upon you is fasting as it was decreed upon those before you that you may become righteous. ( 2:183 ) A Collective Act of Worship Allah is telling us that fasting has been made obligatory and then Allah tells us that just as it was prescribed for those before us. We often get asked this question in Ramadan, “how’s the fast going for us?” And if we gave ourselves a moment to think about it, we see that Allah Most High has made the fast inside the month of Ramadan easy for us because we know that there is a collective spirit to fasting; we know that we’re not alone in this ...
