Taqwa

That feeling. You know.. When you are just sick and tired of life. When you just want to give up. When there is so much going on you have to analyze your life and pick out what you are doing wrong. Yeah, that feeling, that feeling when most people raise their hands in prayer to God, in hope that The Almighty.will help you, that he will remove the pain and suffering and he wil guide you.

But what about that other feeling. When you forget about everything for a while and just smile. When joy enters your heart. Do we raise our hands up to God and thank him for the bounties that he has bestowed upon us? Do we thank him for the mercy and happiness he has given us. Do we take a moment to say Alhamdullilah? Do we take a moment to say Subhanallah? Do we take a moment to say Shukranlillah?

We have to train ourselves to be people with Taqwa 'God-conscienceness' and never let anything become more important to us than our creator. He has given us uncountable bounties so we must not repay him by just calling out to him when we need him. I talk to myself before you. May Allah grant us all Taqwa and guide us on Siraatul Mustaqeem. Ameen.

My Counter Argument.

It is bidat to mourn and lament because Hadrat Husain ‘radiAllahu anh’ was martyred on that day. It is sinful. Mourning on Ashura Day is a custom of the Shiis. They mourn for Hadrat Husain. Because he was Hadrat Ali’s son, they praise him adoringly. But we the Ahl as-sunnat love him very much because he was Rasulullah’s grandson. There is no mourning in Islam. Muslims do not mourn only on Ashura Day. But they always become sad whenever they remember the tragedy of Karbala. They grieve deeply. They weep bitterly. If there were mourning in Islam, we would have done it not on Ashura Day but on the day when Rasulullah’s blessed feet bled all over in Taif, or when his blessed tooth was broken and his blessed face bled at Uhud or when he passed away.

WTF?!
ok here is my counter argument..


1) We praise Imam Ali (a.s) is because Prophet Muhammad (saww) praised him himself. And he declared him his “Wali” Where were your hadith writers then?


2) By mourning the event of Karbala, we not only “weep bitterly” for our Prophet Muhammad (saww)’s grandson, but we weep because the Ummah that claimed to follow the Prophet (saww) turned their backs against his family after he passed away.


3) We also weep because to this day, the world did not understand our Mola.. calling the Battle of Karbala a “political battle.” 


4) “If there were mourning in Islam, we would have done it not on Ashura Day but on the day when Rasulullah’s blessed feet bled all over in Taif, or when his blessed tooth was broken and his blessed face bled at Uhud or when he passed away. ”

If there was mourning in Islam... you would’ve also attended the Prophet (saww)’s funeral or helped in the preparations instead of choosing your next caliph. 

GRRRR.

Wajib < Wajib

I do not understand how and why Muslims think that one act of worship is more 'Wajib' or 'Fardh' (obligatory)  than another. The reason I cannot fathom this simply due to the fact that i am unsure where and what they base this judgement on. Is it because there are more benefits to one over the other, or is it out of pure ignorance?

E.g. If you do not pray your five daily Fardh prayers and someone finds out, they will automatically assume that you are an awful Muslim and you will go to hell.. HOWEVER, If a girl above 'the age' does not wear Hijaab, or a boy does not keep a beard (both of which are Wajib according to gender) then it is considered OK not to do as the 'she/he is not ready' excuse is used. But we cannot use the same excuse for Salaat (5 daily prayers) or Sawm (fasting). We cannot say that 'I do not fast/pray because I am not ready to' so how is it acceptable to use the same excuse for something else that is also obligatory?

Same way with Haraam (forbidden) acts. Drinking alcohol is Haraam, so is listening to music. So i do not understand how listening to music is considered OK while if you even dreamt of drinking alcohol your parents would probably pack your bags and send you to Pakistan to start life as a farmer.

The situation may be different in your community I am not trying to generalise or even target my own community. Please do not be offended, if you have any concerns please let me know. This is the perspective that my community has on this and I am confused why, someone care to explain these mind-boggling mentalities?

Friendship..

Humans are social creatures by nature; they're always in need of friends and companions. Most of our lives depend on interaction with others. Strong individuals are the core of a strong community, something that Muslims should always strive for.

We all know that Allah (SWT) the Most High has brought us to life in order to test us. Thus we are here for a relatively short period of time and that we shall meet Allah (SWT) one Day, so we need to use our present life for what is best for us in the hereafter. Once we know our purpose and our goal in life, we should seek ways to achieve them so as to benefit our own selves.

In an authentic Hadith(narration), Prophet Mohammad (pbuh) said: "Man is influenced by the faith of his friends. Therefore, be careful of whom you associate with."

Prophet Mohammad (pbuh) who has the most noble character and dealings with fellow humans gave us a very clear and simple message and advice in regard to friendship.

How should we choose our friends? We should choose the friend that believes and abide by our religion (Islam) and gives great respect to what Allah (SWT) and Prophet Mohammad (pbuh) has ordered us. And we should stay away from that who is not well mannered and gives no attention to what Islam is about or what pleases or displeases Allah (SWT), for he will surely affect us negatively. There is no good in the companion drowns us in sins and displeasing Allah (SWT).

In another Hadith(narration), Prophet Mohammad (pbuh) said: "The example of a good companion and a bad companion is like that of the seller of musk, and the one who blows the blacksmith's bellows. So as for the seller of musk then either he will grant you some, or you buy some from him, or at least you enjoy a pleasant smell from him. As for the one who blows the blacksmith's bellows then either he will burn your clothes or you will get an offensive smell from him."

When choosing our friends we should ask ourselves first: Are they going to help us achieve the purpose for which we were brought to life? Or will they take us away from it? Will they desire for us Allah (SWT)'s pleasure or is that completely irrelevant to them and not their concern at all? Are they leading us to Paradise or to the Hell? 

Im a #HappyHijaabi

Poem: Im a Happy Hijaabi :)

People look. People stare,
They look at me with an ignoranced glare.
Look at her - she's out of place,
She's only showing her hands and face!
They never intend to know the reason,
Only imagine it to be a form of treason.
People question. People wonder,
About the influences I am under.
Why I cover-up from head-to-toe,
So that my physical body doesn’t show!
My personality and character are more,
Than can be shown with clothes from any store
People think. People assume,
That we are in a state of gloom.
Those Muslim women must be oppressed,
Just look at how they are dressed!
If they knew how I feel inside,
All their beauty they also hide.
