Dont Worry Allah Has Your Back

Do you struggle with pains that life throws at you? Your fear and agony, your illness, your anxiety that eats at you, your business that you’ve lost… Don’t worry.

You should be grateful for your pains, especially pains that you don’t complain about and don’t even vent, pains that only Allah knows about.

Why?

Because something amazing happens!

Allah is saving for you a great place in Paradise; He wants to elevate your status to a higher level you deserve.

This is how believers handle their challenges in life. Their patience when calamities strike, and their trust in Allah’s plan and promise relieve their hearts and reduce the pains of this life.

A Life of Test

People who are tried and tested the most are the Prophets and the messengers, then people who are closer to them in faith.

A person will be tried and tested according to that level. If their faith is strong, then their trials will be strong; but if their faith is weak, their trials will be at the same level of intensity.

This is the story of this life. Allah never promised us that earth here to be Paradise; He never promised us to make us enjoy this life to the fullest. Allah says:

[He] who created death and life to test you [as to] which of you is best in deed. (Quran 67:2)

Allah promised that this life is life of test and He promised that He is not going to commit even an atom weight of injustice.

So why would we go through trials and hardships, when we don’t get what wish? When our plans are ruined? Why do we feel as if Allah is targeting us, or as if He abandoned us or doesn’t care about us, or doesn’t have mercy upon us?

Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said:

Allah gives this dunya to the one that He loves and the one that He doesn’t love. But He only gives the akhirah to those He loves.

If you’ve been going through hardship, if you’ve been going through a financial loss, emotional or physical struggle… Or any type of pain and suffering, and it’s been going on for a long time. You are not the only one. This is how life is meant to be. Not because Allah loves humans to suffer, but because:

Indeed with every hardship there is ease; with every hardship, there is ease. (Quran 94:5-6)

How Do We Deal With All These Hardships and Calamities?

Some people have been suffering for ten years, some people for twenty or fifty years. They’ve been calling upon Allah to remove some kind of hardship and Allah hasn’t removed it yet! Not because Allah doesn’t care, but maybe Allah wants to elevate them.

Prophet Muhammad said that:

Allah has a high place for one of you in Paradise, and the person doesn’t do enough to get it, but Allah sends hardships so that he can get it.

When this person responds with patience, Allah elevates him to that level.

Anywhere you go, any side you sleep on, any ceiling you’re under, you are well taken care of. There are no mistakes in your life; there is nothing random that even happened to you in your life. Everything was written before the creation of the heavens and the earth.

This is a source of relief because the one who wrote that down is the Most Merciful, the Most Wise, and the Most Just.

Quran.

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...
