Life is a test

 Our lives are full of tests and tribulations and whoever passes these tests will be rewarded with success both in this world and the hereafter. Not only poor people are tested but rich people are tested too. Poor people are tested living in a life of poverty and hardships. Rich people are tested as they might get robbed or lose wealth or make decisions that have a fear of losing their wealth.

Man tends to forget Allah when he is in good shape that is both financially or health wise. On the otherhand he starts remembering Allah whenever he faces adversity or hardships. This is totally wrong as righteous people are those who remember Allah and worship him whatever their conditions is whether their condition is rosy or whether they are facing hardship.

We should be patient whenever we face a hardship like loss of wealth, divorce, being single or through the loss of a loved parent or spouse or family member.

In the end what I would like to say is that we should observe patience and perseverance whenever we face a test or trial or tribulation.

about keeping fast without eating sehri

 The Concern: Today I woke up after the time for suhoor (sehri) and wondering if I still have the obligation to keep my fast for Ramadan? How does not waking up affect my Niyyah for fasting? The instruction from the Qur’an is quite clear regarding fasting. In Surah Baqarah it says, يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ كُتِبَ عَلَيْكُمُ ٱلصِّيَامُ كَمَا كُتِبَ عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَتَّقُونَ “O you who have believed, decreed upon you is fasting as it was decreed upon those before you that you may become righteous –” See: All Verses From Qur’an About Ramadan There is no mention in hadith or Qur’an which says, if one does not wake up for sehri they are exempt from fasting that day. If a Muslim does not eat suhoor, this is not a valid reason for being excused from fasting. There are only a few cases where one is excused from fasting and we discuss them here. Yes I know… I think we can all agree that missing the window for sehri will be a more challenging test. But it...

About Jealousy and back biting in Islam

 One shouldnt be jealous of one another as we should see people below us in abilities, wealth, intelligence, looks and socio economic status. Allah has blessed everyone with his blessings and for some he has given more and for some a little less in wealth. We shouldnt compare each other and be jealous of someone who has more than us. If Allah made every one rich then there wouldnt be any people working as janitors, sweepers, drivers, peons and servants etc and in this way the system of Allah wont work in this world. About back biting Islam said that backbiting is the same as eating your dead brothers flesh which you will surely abhor. Back biting is a social evil as all those things said behind someone's back if he/she would mind it said in front of him then we shouldnt say it behind his/ her back which is a major sin in Islam.  In the end what I would like to say is that Surah Falaq should be recited in order to get protection from the evil eyes of jealousy.

The benefits of being grateful to Allah

Image
  Gratitude is not only the heart and essence of Islam; it is also the key to attracting abundance, prosperity, peace, and success in one’s life. We can say that Gratitude and Shukr are the most important aspects of Islam. We as a Muslims should always thankful to Almighty Allah for all the blessings that given by Him. He is the Creator of this world alone and also He is The Most Merciful for all His humankind. If we thankful to him then it means we are believers and if not then disbelievers. In Holy Quran, Allah Almighty says:   “And remember! Your Lord caused to be declared: If ye are grateful, I will add more unto you”   (Quran, 14:5-7). From the verses of Holy Quran, we came to know that gratitude is essential to Islamic character and that practicing gratitude in Islam is the means to greater prosperity. We have to be grateful for everything that we have in which health, wealth, breath, family, friends and for all other things whether it’s too small or big and most im...
