Jesus said, when the comforter or the Paraclete will come in John’s Gospel, he will guide us to all truths and he will remind you of my teachings. So that implies that Jesus’s teachings will become corrupt at some point in time. And this paraclete or Comforter will come. He will remind people of Jesus words and he will prophesy.
So Muslims believe that to be the prophet Muhammad (Pbuh) because after Jesus Christ, Islam is the last world major religion with over 1 billion followers.
You’re making a dua that your duas are not amongst those that are unheard, because you know that no one else is going to solve that problem for you except Allah. And so Allah, if I’m doing something that is causing my dua to be unheard, then let me make dua to you so that I can be guided to the things that would cause it to be heard.
So when you call upon Allah (swt) you’re calling upon A Lord who is merciful. You’re calling upon a Lord who is generous. You’re calling upon a Lord who hears. You’re calling upon a Lord who can give whenever He wants, sometimes to someone who doesn’t deserve it at all.
the Prophet (pbuh) said that Allah (swt) certainly answer your dua so long as you don’t ask Him for something that is sinful, for something that’s haram or established through that dua the cutting off of your relatives, cutting off family members.
Perhaps the gap between the sins is actually made longer, which is a sign of improvement. But the day you think you’re not clean enough to pray to Allah is the day the devil, Shaitan, has convinced you that you’re not even worth it. That was his plan.
Don’t allow that day to come. Remember to turn to Allah. Don’t give up. Never give up. You navigate through your difficulties just like we all do. They may be bigger, but Allah has given you the strength to go through it.
We love Allah so much that we should be concerned about earning His anger or doing something that would spoil the relationship between us and Allah.
Whenever we have faltered, whenever we have done something wrong, because we are human beings, Allah Almighty has favored us with one of His greatest favors, and that is the acceptance of repentance of a worshiper.
If Allah forgives you, even if you have nothing on earth, you have succeeded.
And if Allah has not forgiven you, even if you have everything on earth, you have failed.
We don’t believe that there is a competition between men and women. Men and women complete each other, if that makes sense.
Because the reason Muslim women cover is first and foremost, it is what the God has told them to do.
God is not saying to dress for Him. God is telling you what is good for you, what is good for you and for your family and for the environment and everything.
there are many things which are prohibited in Islam; drinking alcohol, gambling, fornication, adultery, even eating food which is harmful to you. Smoking cigarettes, taking drugs and all these things which harm you, All these things are prohibited. Why is that?
It’s not because God doesn’t want you to have fun. He wants you to have fun. But not at the expense of your body which we believe is a gift from God.
Istikhara is seeking the guidance of Allah. So you want to open a business, you want to get married, you want to do something, .. a major and you’re confused about it. then you ask Allah, guide me, Allah, if this is good for me.
People say, how do I know the response of my Istikhara?
Go back and find out what you said. That’s the response. You said Oh Allah, if it is good for me, make it easy and facilitate it. Open the doors.
So you get up the following morning and Mashallah, The doors are opening, one after the other. That’s a sign. Allah is starting to open your doors.
You get up the following morning and your doors are closing one after the other. That’s a sign. Allah is closing the doors.
If something bad earns you a sin, the opposite of it, when it’s good, will earn you a reward.
I’ll give you an example, the hadith of the Prophet (pbuh), he says, you know, when you fulfill your base desire in a halal way, you get a reward; reward of a charity.
One of the methods that Allah uses to bring us closer to Him is by inflicting us with something we perceive as negative and if you came closer to Allah because of any one of those things or anything negative, It was the blessing of Allah and it’s the mercy of Allah and the gift of Allah.
But if Allah blessed you and gave you and did everything for you, and you passed with flying colors and you’ve got authority and you’ve got good looks and you’ve got lots of knowledge, and you’ve got lots of this and whatever else it may be, if that drifted you away from Allah, it cannot be the mercy of Allah.
So understand the favors of Allah and let it bring you closer to Allah.
Get acquainted with Allah during your days of ease. Get close to Allah, when nothing is wrong in your life, everything is smooth sailing, then go close to Allah. So what will happen when the days are tough for you?
Allah will come to you.
That the day we are tested with sadness, we can navigate through it by developing a beautiful relationship with Allah.
Sadness has come to me. It has come to you. It will come to me. It will come to you in greater way. You’re a human. You’re allowed to feel sad. May Allah Almighty help us to become closer to Him.
It is only with prayer and it is only with patience that Allah Almighty will open your doors and alleviate the sadness.
So remember, bear patience upon what has befallen on you. Think of the positives while you’re in the negative.
And we know something; Things we say not replaceable but Allah will replace it with something better in the hereafter.
When you see the reward of your Sabr / patience, In Sha Allah, you won’t be let down.
When people are sad, they do different things to deal with the sadness.
If a person is void of faith and connection with Allah, they do something that makes them more sad.
But Allah Almighty teaches us that the remedy for sadness is a long term commitment.
Even if someone were to throw the whole world at you in terms of materialistic items it will not eradicate that sadness.
When you are happy, remember Allah and ask Allah protect me from anxiety and sadness. The Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, used to make duah, supplicate, call out to Allah, oh Allah protect me from sadness, anxiety, protect me from my miserliness.
Never let your happiness disconnect you from Allah and never let your sadness disconnect you from Allah either.
So sometimes when you’re getting a lot of things, it could be something negative, when? If you’ve been driven away from Allah by what you received.
That’s why when you get good things; it must lead you to become a better person.
The best of us, from among those who have been blessed by Allah with the worldly things, is he or she who is humble, humble.
The All-Loving
