Finding Happiness after Suicidal Thoughts

Islam made her find happiness after suicidal thoughts. Every story about people turning back to Allah is different. Nevertheless they always inspire and let us feel we are not alone in the struggle.

We can all identify to a part of this sister’s story, whether it is the hardships before or after Islam.

Finding our path despite our sins and others ‘criticism or hate is never easy. Yet Allah has promised us that we will be rewarded when we are valuing our faith and being patient.

Our new sister has battled an overwhelming sense of emptiness leading her to cope with destructive methods. As a result it increased her self-worth issues.

In her own words, she explains her state of mind:

“I never belong anywhere”

“Nothing was fulfilling”

“I hated my life”

“I don’t want to be in this world anymore”

“I don’t want to be alive”

Her suicidal thoughts were taking over, but then she met a man who would become her husband.

After becoming a Muslim, she had to justify often that she didn’t do that for her husband but rather that her husband introduced her to Islam.

As she was trying to understand, she used her time to read and study which gave her confidence in her Faith mashaAllah.

“[…] I’m studying, I’m trying so hard to learn how to pray … and I’m getting there […]”

Check this video to listen to her touching story and her message:

“If you are scared about what people are gonna say or think(i.e. becoming a Muslim), […] don’t be scared!

 What was stopping me were my own fears.

Once you did it you are gonna be so happy”

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...
