Dua Asking for Help!

We all face difficulties in life. We all need help in life. Here is a dua asking for help! “O The Ever-Living, The Ever-Lasting One, You Have Shown Us Your Power, So Show Us Your Forgiveness.” ياحي ياقيوم قد أريتنا قدرتك فأرنا عفوك The post Dua Asking for Help! appeared first on About Islam . source https://aboutislam.net/multimedia/videos/dua-asking-for-help/

Living Ibrahim’s (AS) Legacy

One of the duas that Ibrahim made is: “O Allah, do not let us be a trial for the disbelievers.” The Quran 60:5. This means that if the disbelievers are victorious over us they might take it that they are on something true and not us. The second meaning is that our behaviour shouldn’t be a reason why we repel people against us. Our dawah that we do should be exemplified. When we make dawah we should do it with good character. Even if we do not talk to people about Islam, our bahaviour should show people are beautiful Muslims are in character. We need to think about our individual behaviour and how it impacts on people.  Prophet Muhammad (SAW) used to think about every action that he did. And he was concerned about the perception of others and within the community. He didn’t want to give the Islamophobes ammunition against Muslims. We should have a high sensitivity that we are always paying attention to how we are reflecting our faith around us.  The post Living Ibrahim’s (AS...

My First Summer as a New Muslim Woman

Summer is a time to feel a bit free and to have a chance to do all the things you didn’t have time to do during the year. Hijab is an Act of Worship - How I Came to Love it For many people it is a time for sea, sun, and surf, or for bushwhacking, mountain climbing, canoeing, or hiking. But as a new Muslim woman what can you do in the summer? New Muslims are going through many changes . They are making the transition from old habits to new, from old friends to new ones, and to old ways of enjoying their times to new ways. Enjoy Yourself Depending on where you live, there may be places you can go to enjoy swimming. For Muslim women, as long as they are dressed modestly they can swim with other women. In many countries Muslim women can organize the local swimming pool to make a women-only day. In other countries there are beaches you can visit with your family where you can enjoy your privacy. Hiking and bushwhacking, camping and canoeing are fine as long as the Mus...

5 Tips to Increase Self-Confidence in Worship

In the last article , we discussed the importance of self-confidence in the life of a Muslim, and that self-confidence isn’t contrary to tawakkul but rather branches out of it. New Muslims - Tips to Build Self Confidence in Prayer Today let’s look at that concept in a bit more detail. How does self-confidence branch out of confidence in Allah? The more confidence we have in Allah, the more firmly we will believe what He says to us in the Quran. So when He tells us that a certain task is easy for us, we will firmly believe in our ability to do it (self-confidence). Once we accomplish that task, it will get easier the next time, and so on. It’s an ever-increasing cycle of tawakkul and self-confidence. This applies more directly to our worship than our worldly tasks. When Allah commands us to pray five times daily, it means that we have the ability to do just that. If we didn’t, Allah wouldn’t have told us to do it. “I used to be a very pious Muslimah,” a friend once lame...

Le Bonheur: Où Peut-On Le Trouver?

Trouver le bonheur dans la réalité est en fait assez simple. Vous le trouvez dans les choses que vous ne pouvez pas acheter. Vous trouvez ces choses au niveau de votre cœur . La première chose qui apporte le bonheur aux humains, est la spiritualité. Qu’est-ce Que le Bonheur? C’est l’amour que nous avons pour les gens. C’est le sentiment de fraternité que nous éprouvons pour nos pairs que nous apprécions. C’est la solidarité. C’est la famille. Toutes les choses que l’argent ne peut pas acheter. Ce sont aussi toutes les choses que nous, en tant que société, avons oubliées. Comment la Conversion à L’Islam a Apporté le Bonheur L’Imam Franck Amin partage son histoire de découvrir le bonheur à travers l’Islam. Avant de se convertir à l’islam, il n’a jamais pensé à la spiritualité. Lorsqu’il a découvert l’Islam , il a découvert ce qu’avait changé sa vie. Il n’aurait jamais pu imaginer ce que cela pouvait être. Pour aider à donner un sens, personne aujourd’hui ne pourrait se passer ...

Pandemic of Prophet Ibrahim’s Time and Eid Al-Adha

This Eid is the second Eid many of us spend in quarantine . While the precautions have relaxed in many places, we can expect the festivities to look very different from previous years.  Eid Al-Adha comes at the end of the ten best days of the Islamic calendar year; Dhul-Hijjah Days . In usual times, millions of pilgrims struggle through the heat and crowds to fulfill their Hajj while the rest of us long to be in their place. Khutbahs (sermons) across the world recount the story of Prophets Abraham (Ibrahim) and Ishmael (Isma`il) (peace be upon them) in detail. This Eid offers us a unique spiritual perspective. So while we cope, let us not fail to take the opportunity to reflect on Prophet Ibrahim’s story. Spiritual Disease is a Pandemic Too Who Was the First to Build the Ka`bah? Prophet Ibrahim also lived during a pandemic. It was not a pandemic of physical disease, but a pandemic of spiritual disease. His people disregarded the symptoms. While Coronavirus (COVI...

Dhul-Hijjah 10: What to Remember on Day of Eid

Today is the 10th Day of Dhul-Hijjah. The Prophet said: “The Day of Arafah, the Day of Sacrifice, and the Days of Tashreeq are all an Eid for us, the People of Islam.” (An-Nasa’i) He also said: “They are days of Eating, drinking, and remembrance of Allah.” (Muslim) Eid is a Day of Dhikr Let Us Rejoice at `Eid It is a day that allows you to remain in the state you were in these ten days. Some people make their day of Eid merely a day for enjoying material things. Maymun al-Basri said: “When Allah destines good for his slave, he makes His remembrance beloved to him.” Eid is the day that you remain in remembrance of him, even though you enjoy life around you. So take these next days and enjoy yourselves with your families. Allow yourself to revel the blessings that He has bestowed upon you.

Send My Salaam to Your Ummah

Ibrahim (AS) cared so much about the succession of faith in this world. Even when he is in the 7th heaven he was concerned about this. Prophet Ibrahim (AS) said to Prophet Muhammad (SAW) when they met in the 7th heaven: “O Muhammad! Send my salaam to your Ummah!.” Jami At-Tirmidhi. He also told Prophet Muhammad (SAW) to tell us about the sweet soil of Jannah. He said that the plants and trees grow with the words subhanAllah, Alhamdulillah, La, ilaha, illallah, Allahu Akbar. This advice will allow us to rise in the ranks of paradise. SubhanAllah! This is beautiful.

Prophet Muhammad: The Humble Leader

My experience in human resources has led me to study various aspects of the human personality, including the theoretical frameworks that define the characteristics of effective leaders. Leadership - Legacy of the Prophet Muhammad Research has established that the most effective of leaders are those who consider themselves to be catalysts and servants to their followers, and whose leadership styles are to support and to advocate. These leaders believe in their people and communicate that belief to them; they are visible and accessible; they empower, increase participation, support, and share their knowledge (Bolman and Deal 1991). Who is the Perfect Leader? “To become truly great, one has to stand with people, not above them.” As I read this description, I realized that effective leaders are those who work for their people. They are humble, and neither flaunt their status nor exploit their power. It is hard to come by such individuals in real life, and you rarely c...

Eid Al Adha – Time Off from Our Sorrows

Eid ul Adha is Here. We should make the occasion of Eid a time to set aside our pains and our sorrows. We should take a holiday from our worries and our woes. Spread the Joy of Eid al-Adha (Where to Make Your Udhiya) Indeed, let’s make it a long vacation from our woes, and in doing so, we will show our appreciation for why we celebrate Eid. We are celebrating nothing less than Allah’s grace. For the Eid of Ramadan, we are celebrating the completion of a whole month of fasting for Allah’s sake. Likewise, for Eid ul Adha, we are celebrating the rites of Hajj and of the sacrifice. In both cases we are glorifying Allah in celebration of the guidance that He has blessed us with. Indeed, this is something to rejoice in. We should therefore celebrate the Eid by visiting our friends and family, and by spreading goodwill to our fellow human beings. And we should let joy enter our hearts and spread that joy to others. We must therefore act fast to cleanse our hearts of resentmen...
