5 Tips to Avoid Being Unmindful of Allah

As a practicing Muslim, have you ever thought of the purpose of  creation of mankind? Have you ever thought of the main reason of your existence in this worldly life and what the real role is that you should play is?

First of all, to be a proper believer in Allah and to be a righteous Muslim, you have to be sure that there is a great wisdom behind your creation – not only your creation, but also the creation of all things on Earth.

Allah did not create things in vain, but He, the Almighty, created this universe for a purpose, for example, Allah says:

Then did you think that We created you in vain and that to Us you would not be returned? (23:115)

Also, He Almighty says:

And We did not create the heaven and earth and that between them in play. (21:16)

Furthermore, Allah declares the real reason for mankind creation when He says:

And I did not create the jinn and mankind except to worship Me. (51:56)

Although Allah determined exactly the main mission that we should do on Earth, the worldly life sometimes diverts us from Allah, so we always need to focus on what reminds us and takes us back to the right way.

So through this article, we are going to discuss some helpful tips that are going to protect you from being unmindful of Allah, but first you have to know who unmindful people are.

In fact, the unmindful people are divided into two groups:

First one includes those who don’t believe in Allah, His angels, His books, His messengers, Judgment Day and the Faith;

Second are those who do believe in Allah but the temporary enjoyment of worldly life distracts them from remembrance of Allah and diverts them from working for their hereafter; they are trapped in the cage of Dunya.

5 Practical Tips to Avoid Being Unmindful of Allah

Therefore, we present the tips below for those who have become wrapped up in worldly life to help them connect with Allah all the time and focus their minds continuously towards Allah the Almighty:

1- Maintain timely performance of obligatory prayers, Allah says in 2:238:

Maintain with care the [obligatory] prayers and [in particular] the middle prayer and stand before Allah, devoutly obedient.

2- Keep on repeating supplications of remembrance for morning and evening as Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) used to do and asked us to do too. Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:

The Prophet (PBUH) used to say in the morning:

O Allah! With Your Power we have come to the morning, with Your Power we come to the evening, with Your Power we live, and we die, and to You will we return.

In the evening he would say:

O Allah! With Your Power, we have come to the evening, by You do we live, by You do we die, and to You is the return.

3- Keep on reciting at least 10 verses of  the Quran each night. Narrated Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-‘As: The Prophet (PBUH) said:

If anyone prays at night reciting regularly ten verses, he will not be recorded among the negligent.

4- Be ever grateful to Allah for His uncountable favors. Allah says:

So remember Me; I will remember you. And be grateful to Me and do not deny Me. (2:152)

5- Always remember your hereafter and that you are going to die one day. It was narrated that Abu Hurairah said:

“The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said:

Frequently remember the destroyer of pleasures,’ meaning death.

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...
