THINGS TO DO IN TIMES OF DIFICULTY

1. have patience and steadfastness
2.keep your gaze on the grace of allah taala
3.do not abandon any commandment of allah taala
4.keep making dua and also strategise/consult
5.do taubah/istighfaar
6.if the difficulty is upon a brother or sister take it as a difficulty upon oneself


my addition
help whoever you can ,wherever ,muslim or non muslim
do not run away from or abandon anyone
now is not a time for cowardice but a time of earning great rewards by helping those in great difficulties

without the help of allah taala,removing allah taalas anger and perfecting our worship and relationship with allah taala we cannot expect our wordly situation to change.

no organisations,no wealth, no speech,no so called cleverness and strategy will be effective if adherence to quran and sunnah is not met. in other words mainstream or excellent islam.

we are trying to fill buckets with holes in them.
we have to fill the gaps and holes first,
patch up our sorry communities and personal lives

and allah knows best

[Umm Abed]

Great points on how to deal with adversity.

The first thing to do is bring Allah Swt into our lives and everything will be a lot more manageable than ever. Love for Allah and His Rasul:saws1:, his way of life and teachings, and the Qur'an, all will bring success.

an aayah of quran

Quran 13:11- “Verily, Allah will not change the condition of a people as long as they do not change their state themselves”

Indeed, Allah will not change the condition of a people until they change what is in themselves.

as ramadhan is fast approaching ,and with current events.
surely we should take stock of our relationship with allah taala.
no blame game,no deflections just an acceptance and submission to allah taala
