Storm of the Heart – My Journey Towards Inner Peace

Image
I knew every one of the steps that led down to the entrance of the library. Every crack, bump, and slope of those 15 stairs. Since I was young I had read the inscription on the wall in front of the entrance. It said: Knowing Your Purpose in Life is Key to Happiness “Everything that man has ever dreamed of or known is contained in books.”   I didn’t really believe that. There were many things I knew and kept hidden inside, and I’d never read them anywhere. I was not always understood when I spoke. People often told me not to ask so many questions as it would make me disturbed and discontented with life. Life Purpose I had a very real feeling from when I was a child that something was missing. I didn’t know where I belonged, but I knew I was lost and looking for a place to fit in.   But some things I knew for sure without needing to question. I knew that the human body is an amazing thing. I could see so clearly how it carries on its functions without our...

Tell Me How to Enter Paradise (A Companion Asks)

How to enter Paradise? Have you ever thought about this Question? A Companion Kissed Woman & Wanted to Repent Imagine you are accompanying the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in a journey and you have the precious opportunity to chat with him, what would you ask the Prophet about? What topics would you love to talk about  with such a special person and teacher like Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him)? A young man had this chance and he put it to the best use. Accompanying the Prophet in a travel, Mu`adh ibn Jabal asked the Prophet about a matter that he was concerned about: “ Tell me of a deed which will take me into Paradise and will keep me away from the Hell-fire, ” said Mu`adh (may Allah be pleased with him). The Prophet’s answer and the following conversation went beyond the scope of the initial question though. The video offers insights on the story and reflections on the Prophet’s teachings in the hadith. With Tears ...

Les Gens de la Caverne

Image
Il y a tout un chapitre dans le Coran nommé d’après les jeunes qui ont pris les ordures dans une caverne. Le chapitre dans son ensemble a été renvoyé à une époque où de nouveaux musulmans étaient tourmentés par des non-musulmans à La Mecque. Il contient trois histoires, et aujourd’hui le frère Nader Abou Anas , nous montre à quoi ressemblaient ces cavernes. Entrer Dans La Caverne Avant de se réfugier dans la caverne, les jeunes ont déclaré que Dieu était le Seigneur des cieux et de la terre; et ils ne feraient jamais appel à une divinité autre que Lui. Ceux qui ont pris d’autres divinités l’ont fait sans aucune autorité claire et il n’y a rien de plus méchant qu’une personne qui ment à propos de Dieu. Ils en discutèrent entre eux et se retirèrent dans la caverne; ils savaient que Dieu les couvrirait de sa miséricorde et les guiderait hors de l’épreuve dans laquelle ils se trouvaient. Et si vous aviez été là avec les dormeurs dans la caverne, vous auriez vu que le soleil se ...

Sun & Moon Conjoined on Day of Judgment

Image
 For Muslims, the Day of Judgment is an inevitable reality. Everything comes to an end, even celestial bodies. Many of the events taking place on the Day of Judgment are mentioned throughout the Qur’an. Modern science has provided explanations for many Qur’anic verses relating, for example, to plate tectonics , embryology , and the expansion of the universe . More recent research is beginning to reveal some of the science behind the verses in the Qur’an pertaining to the Day of Judgment. Read Also: How to Be a VIP on the Day of Judgement In Surah 75 of the Holy Qur’an, entitled Al-Qiyamah , or The Resurrection, specific mention is made about the sun and the moon. Allah says, “So when vision is dazzled, and the moon darkens, and the sun and the moon are joined, Man will say on that Day, “Where is the [place of] escape?” (Qur’an 75:7-10) . The joining of the sun and the moon can imply a solar eclipse. But astronomers expect that there will be no more total solar eclipses on e...

Is Faith a Choice or a Gift?

Image
Belief is a choice, and it requires an active conscious commitment to an intellectual process. But faith is a blessing and not a choice. Belief is an intellectual response to reality. Faith is an emotional one. I will prove that faith is not a choice by soliciting the help of those who are obsessed with the absoluteness of proof; the atheists. But before we start with proofs, we must agree on definitions.  Faith –  A belief in the absence of evidence.  Atheist-  Someone who believes in the power of  faith. This is not an oxymoron, it’s an assertion I make based on the objective definition of faith. Keeping the Faith Strong in Hard Times Faith and Emotions An atheist takes an absolute stand about something that cannot be proven. He has complete faith that God does not exist.  Therefore he believes in the power of faith.  Maybe I am being a bit facetious.  So let me try again. Atheist-   Someone who  c...

Illness is a Means of Purification!

Many of us may know people who have COVID-19 some of us may have COVID-19 ourselves. We must try and stay positive because illness is a means of purification.  We must understand that when Allah creates something Allah is aware of what has happened and has permitted this to happen. There is wisdom in it that we may not know but it is a test for the believers.  We have to remember that everything that afflicts us is for a purpose. Having a fever will take away the sins that we have committed.  You may Also Like to Read: The post Illness is a Means of Purification! appeared first on About Islam . source https://aboutislam.net/multimedia/videos/illness-is-a-means-of-purification/

5 Astuces Simples Pour Ne Pas Rater Les Prières

Image
Même en tant que musulmans, il nous arrive d’oublier l’importance de la Salât ( prière ) dans nos vies. Nous la sacrifions pour vaquer à nos tâches quotidiennes pressantes. L'invocation Pour Se Repentir, Repartir À Zéro Satan tend à chuchoter aux oreilles des croyants et les amène à voir la prière comme une « corvée ». Ainsi, il les amène à se tourner vers les choses de ce bas monde pour atteindre le contentement et le confort. Dès qu’on perçoit la prière comme un fardeau et qu’on y renonce, on accepte la défaite et abandonne la victoire à Satan. Par conséquent, aucune importance accordée à la prière ne peut rendre justice à la pureté et au caractère sacré de l’acte soi-même. La prière détient la clé de chaque maladie affligeant l’humanité, qu’elle soit sociale, spirituelle ou psychologique. Être conscient d’Allah (l’Exalté) est le véritable objectif de la prière et cela renforce le croyant. La prière est la forme d’adoration préférée d’Allah (l’Exalté). Elle cr...
