What if I just don’t want any friends? What if I’m just tired of being around people? And at this point in my life, I’ve been through so many friendships, so many relationships where I always feel like I’m the one that’s giving more where I always feel like it ends up in some sort of betrayal, someone taking advantage of me. And at this point I’m just sick of people.
And it reminded me instantly of Hadith of the Prophet (pbuh) that the one who mixes with the people and encounters what naturally is some of the hardship that comes when you deal with people is better than the one who shuns the people and does not tolerate what comes from them, is not patient with the hardship that comes from them.
The Prophet (Pbuh) said, people are like a set of 100 camels, out of 100, you’ll only find one that’s good for a journey. And if you think about people, you can only rely on one person out of 100.
Prophet (pbuh) said when someone entrust you with something, then fulfill their trust. Don’t betray those who betray you, don’t act in like manner with people that act in a certain way with you.
We learn from the Prophet (pbuh), that don’t punish people with the pain that was inflicted on you and also lower your expectations in people as a whole and place your hopes in the reward of Allah (swt).

If we have an infinite amount of dependent things, we’ll have the fallacy of infinite regress meaning, we need a necessary being for everything to make sense. Now, this necessary being which has to be independent; we need an independent being in order for us to be alive. That makes sense.
For nothing comes nothing, right? Therefore, something has to cause us, which we call God in a nutshell.
Evolution talked about, for example, the first cell, the first cell, where did that come from? Even if you go evolution, Evolution is not random events happening. There’s an order, there’s things happening. So for example, our point is the first cell that was made, where did the first cell come from, which was my argument?
Allah (swt) created us and Allah (swt) gave us duties. Allah (swt) Then He told us to be mindful of the duties He has given to us.
One of the important things that Allah (swt) told us after He gave us this life, after He created us to be knowledgeable, to be knowledgeable, to get the knowledge, to acquire the knowledge, to get engaged with the knowledge, to be among the knowledgeable people.
However, the scholars (Rah), they said; the greatest favor of Allah (swt), which you are experiencing in your life is acquiring the knowledge, achieving the knowledge, being knowledgeable.
Why are you trying to get the knowledge? Why are you going to school or College or why are you going to the University? To get the knowledge, Of course. But for Muslim, it is beyond that.
Why? Rasulullah (pbuh) told us that your intention for you to get the knowledge should be only for the sake of Allah (swt).
Rasulullah (Pbuh) told us that if someone is only concerned about getting the Dunya, and not concerned about the pleasure of Allah (swt) By acquiring the knowledge, in the day of judgment, that person, he or she will not smell the fragrance of Jannah.
Rasulallah (pbuh) told us in the Day of Judgment, the first people who will be judged by Allah (swt), are those who claim in the world, I was or I am knowledgeable.
If you think or if you claim that I am knowledgeable, in the Day of Judgment, Allah (swt) will judge you before everyone else.
Allah will ask him, why did you learn? And why did you teach people? So that person will proudly say Ya Allah, for Your sake, as Allah will say, you are a liar. You’ve done it for the people to tell you that you are knowledgeable.
So if this is the case, we have to purify our intention.
Sometimes we are deep too into the knowledge that we forget Allah (swt). Rasulullah (Pbuh) told us to be concerned about religion, to be concerned about the duties of Allah (swt) has given to us;
Rasulullah (pbuh) advised us to get the manners before you get the education.
We are in the month of Muharram , which is the first month of the Islamic calendar. It has to do with something haram, something prohibited. So what is haram and why is this month called Muharram?
We’re supposed to be making resolutions every night. We’re supposed to be renewing our vows to with Allah (swt) every night. We’re supposed to be seeking forgiveness every night.
We should be making peace with Allah (swt) every single day. Seek forgiveness; promise Allah you are going to be a better person. Never give up. If you’ve fallen into sin again and again, you need to go back to Allah again and again and again.
May Allah (swt) grant us a beautiful returning to Him.
Some people believe that we are not allowed to get married in the month of Muharram because it is bad luck. Unfortunately, that is totally baseless.
Some people believe we are not allowed to wear any good clothing, which is also baseless.
And some people believe the opposite, saying that we are supposed to be celebrating to the degree that we should be partying and so on this day. That is also baseless, but rather it is more about the lesson.
some people don’t realize that in the month of Muharram, Allah (Swt) has ordained certain things and Allah (swt) has chosen the month of Muharram for certain things. He calls it Shahrullahi Al-Muharram.
let’s make resolutions on a daily basis and let’s look into the resolutions we’ve made and see how best are practicing upon them. Let’s see how best we’re actually fulfilling them.
Remember, if you have bad habits, this is the time to quit those bad habits.
How would you use logic to exclude possibilities? Why would a flying spaghetti monster not be the cause of our universe;
You see, if you try to deflect, you know, how you would come to believe by examining your mind, and then you haven’t really thought about yours properly?
What would you include as a possibility about the origins of our universe? Can our University be itself, the cause of its existence?
There are many things we don’t know, but we can exclude by logic and rationality.
How can you use logic and yet you still believe in contradiction?….
The prophet (pbuh) described as the best day that the sun has risen upon is the day of Arafah. The day that you come to know your Lord, every single year.
All of us stood before Allah on that day, and it was upon us that an oath was taken, Alalh asked each and every single one of us, am I not your Lord? Allah asked each and every single one of us am I not your Lord? And all of us say, yes, we bear witness.
The day that represents one of the five pillars of Islam. The best thing that you can do that covenant over and over and over again.
The word Arafah means to come to know, to come to know who? To come to know your Lord, And if you know your Lord then you know yourself.
And if you know yourself then once you know your Lord and then you know yourself, then you will naturally know your own shortcomings in regards to your Lord, the blessings that He has bestowed upon you are prerequisite to understanding the deficiency with which you have responded, which then leads you to the most sincere version of your supplication, realize that the dua that we say throughout that day does not just have an acknowledgment of Allah’s oneness, but a praise for all of the blessings that He showers upon us throughout the year and the prophet (pbuh) taught us Sayyidul Istighfar.
In order for you and I to know which one is the message of the most High, Which one is a fake one, for example, the true messages of God that come with the prophecies, that come with the miracles, they come with the same teachings, even though they never met each other.
So we have to ask the questions; how we got here, what is our purpose in life, why we have to die? And these questions, no one answered in details like the prophets and messengers, especially in the Quran.
The Quran says we have created you one of the reasons, the wisdom behind it for purpose is to worship the Creator likewise as a test, likewise for the Creator… implement His name, attributes: attributes of mercy, of love, of anger, of justice, of wisdom, of Highness, you know, likewise to recognize one another.
Why Islam is true because Islam goes in line with our universal knowledge, our common sense; universal knowledge… Naturally, you know that you should worship one God, there is one Creator. Naturally, you know that for something to come into existence must have a creator. Naturally, you know that oppression is wrong, you see.
So with Allah, sent the messengers, especially Islam, Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), He said sent him with the legislation that goes in line with that worship one God, believe all the prophets and messengers, Moses, Abraham, Noah, Jacob, Isaac, all of them, because all of them came to us to worship one God. And when we die, Islam speaks about that in details.
What distinguishes Islam from any religion or any way of life or any idea, Islam goes in line with our universal knowledge. Who give us a universal knowledge? The Creator….
