Islam is too hard for me

[Mohamed_]

Well,
I'm back to Islam, my dad also said, maybe this is just a test from Allah to test my faith... He does it hard for me. I'll keep me in Islam, actually don't give it up again. I tried to fast last day, my classmates asked me why I'm not eating. I answered "cause I'm a muslim and I'm fasting". Then I've been called "terrorist". I'll try to pay as much as much time I have for it. Even school has just begun and I'm not a good guy in my class, I mean... I got my bads in school, for example talking to my mates on classes, don't listen to the teacher... And it results in my exams. Almost on everyday I go to a teacher, but I've to go there after school. I get home at about 4.00 pm and need to be there at 5.00 pm. And then I couldn't pray Dhurh and Asr. When I get home about 6.15 pm, then I'm not in the mood to do anything, not even to pray.

But I'm even trying to read the Quran, when I'm going to school and going from school to home. I keep one at myself. But I don't understand too much of it, and sometimes I'm not even sure I'm reading the words correctly, haven't learn this skill yet. But I be on not to turn away from Islam once again......

About eating... Mom cooked pork again... I think she is doing everything against me... I'm stuck on bread with butter, and goose fat with bread... Since about an half month, I feel myself like this emotion looks like "+o("...

:hmm::hmm:

brother, about the girls thing, this is normal every teenage boy goes through this because at this stage in your life your at the peak of your sexual desire as you get older it will decrease and decrease then this won't be such a big problem for you.

Fasting will help reduce this problem a little bit for you because it will lower your testosterone. But your at the age where your hormones are going crazy, as you get older it will get easier.

I've been called terrorist to brother sadly this is how the world perceives Muslim's because of the actions of a few. But the important thing to remember is they can call you whatever they want it don't matter cos you only care what your creator thinks of you.

Who cares if the people call you this and that as long as your creator is pleased with you, remember this and it will be easy inshallah, we don't do actions to please people, we do actions to please our creator and lord. Don't care what opinion people hold of you as long as you know God is pleased with you for obeying him.

It is good to hear you came back to Islam. Yes this is a test and not everything is going to be easy...

Ignore the idiots that call you a terrorist. End of the day they will have to answer to Allah in the next world for the sins they have committed.

I'll try to pay as much as much time I have for it. Even school has just begun and I'm not a good guy in my class, I mean... I got my bads in school, for example talking to my mates on classes, don't listen to the teacher... And it results in my exams.

You need to focus and organise yourself. If you keep on praying you will get used to it.

But I'm even trying to read the Quran, when I'm going to school and going from school to home. I keep one at myself. But I don't understand too much of it, and sometimes I'm not even sure I'm reading the words correctly, haven't learn this skill yet. But I be on not to turn away from Islam once again......

You can get a translation if you don't understand. Ah you will get better at reading in Arabic. The more you practice the better you will get.

About eating... Mom cooked pork again... I think she is doing everything against me... I'm stuck on bread with butter, and goose fat with bread... Since about an half month, I feel myself like this emotion looks like "+o("...

:hmm::hmm:

Hmmm have you spoke to your mom about this?

You claimed Islam as your way of life in front of youe peers, alhamdulillah, you are a proud and strong muslim brother. May Allah protect you, Ameen

AsSalamOAlaikum WaRehmatuAllah WaBarkatuhu

Brother may these ayaats come in use for you and me.....

On no soul doth Allah place a burden greater than it can bear. It gets every good that it earns and it suffers every ill that it earns. (Pray): "Our Lord! condemn us not if we forget or fall into error; our Lord! Lay not on us a burden like that which Thou didst lay on those before us; Our Lord! lay not on us a burden greater than we have strength to bear. Blot out our sins and grant us forgiveness. Have mercy on us. Thou art our Protector; help us against those who stand against faith." [2: 286]

[SIZE=2.2][SIZE=2.2]"Our Lord!" (they say), "let not our hearts deviate now after Thou hast guided us, but grant us mercy from Thee: for Thou art the Grantor of bounties without measure. [3:8]

Ameen, Ameen, Ameen!!!

Bro

Conrgratulations bro.. keep your imaan strong..

Dont worry bro talk to your parents tell them what islam really is .. tell them that its the closest religion to christianity.Tell them that you believe that jesus pbuh is Allah's messenger.May be they will soften up.


And regarding classmates bro .. try to be really good.Concentrate on studies and get some good grades.And if its helps. . i too never tried to had a gf.It doesnt matter really after sometime you get used to it.It helps , it saves you from a lot of problems and sins.

May Allah reward you for your struggle.

Try reading Quran in your mother tongue.

 

[Argamemnon]

You are not leaving Islam, if you still believe in Allah and accept Muhammad (pbuh) as His messenger, so please don't use the word "leave". However, it is wrong to not fulfill the religious duties. Believe me, I have been there myself, but I'm continuously improving myself. Little bro, the important thing is to never ever use that word "leaving" again.

"… Anyone who rejects belief, all his work will go vain and he will be among the losers in the Hereafter." [5:5]

Also, you could merge your prayers as mentioned before. Islam is not as difficult as you might think, although some Muslims try everything they can to make it more complex. I'm always ranting about this, but it's true.

[Rasema]

Assalamu Alikum wa rahmatu Allahi wa barakatuhu

I'm sure that my brothers and sisters have been of helped in these raugh moments.

Islam is not the easy way. Allah,spw,had told us in the Qur'an,even the messanger asked to when is Allah's help going to come.

For us, this life is a prision. You must be strong. One reason Allah,spw, has created us is to keep trying and striving. It benefits you,you will be prepared for what's to come. If you slack of,stop praying and striving you will be of the losers.

Put your trust in Allah. He knows why he does things,we don't. Don't listen to your brain, don't trust your brain,trust Allah. Many of our thaughts are from the shaytan.

*Your heart desires Islam and you belong in this category,the group that loves Allah,(?) so strive!!!****

O you who believe!
Whoever from among you turns back from his religion, Allah will bring a people who He will love and they will love Him.
Qur'an 5:54

Welcomeeeeeeeee backkk my little brother! :statisfie Alhumdulillah I is so happy ;D Allahu Akbar!!

Hang on in there little bro. Is there anyway you can buy your own food? Do you get pocket money? Do you have your own room? Let's look at the practical side of how to make things easier for you so Let me know inshaAllah.

 

[Ummu Sufyaan]

wa alaykum us-Salaam
@thread starter...
some sincere advice: read the first few chapters of the sealed nector and compare your situation to that of the sahbi's who suffered torture at the hands of their enemies (yes, including their own family) for practicing<---it's encouraging when you know someone else has been through the same hardship as you :thumbs_up

 

[Rabi Mansur]

I'm not muslim but I used to be strong in another religion. It is hard to know what to do when something gets too hard, but sometimes that is when you grow the most. My advice is continue to hang in there and give Islam a chance. If it is filling a spiritual need for you and you feel closer to God don't give up. You may end up being a positive example for someone else. You never know. I wouldn't give up because something seems too hard, I would only give up if I were convinced I was following the wrong path. If you feel that Islam is the right path, keep on pushing ahead.

 

[Muslim Woman]

Salaam/Peace

Well,
I'm back to Islam,

good for u :statisfie I am glad that u took the right decision

When I get home about 6.15 pm, then I'm not in the mood to do anything, not even to pray.

It takes ( fard salat ) 3 or 4 minutes only but rewards will be countless..Alhamdulillah.

About eating... Mom cooked pork again... I think she is doing everything against me...

Pray for her ; give her Islamic CD on Jesus or Mother Mary (pbut) to give her an idea about Islam. Ask Allah to soften her heart.

God Willing , everything will be ok soon.

Read carefully,

O ye that believe! Betray not the trust of Allah and the Messenger, Nor misappropriate knowingly things entrusted to you. - 8:27

O ye who believe! Give your response to Allah and His Messenger, when He calleth you to that which will give you life; And know that Allah cometh in between a man and his heart, and that It is He to whom ye shall (all) be gathered." - 8:24

 

[أبو سليمان عمر]

asalamu alaykum all
first i would like to say is that Islam is NOT hard how can we say such when we see in the quran 2 286 Allah burdens not a person beyond his scope... so in but we are human and we are weak and we fall into our desires into temptations letting our peers get to us when we know the truth is with us and again we are weak and fall in to it for if OUR CREATOR commanded us to do somthing we have not chose but to try our best to submit to it are we going to say we are burden more then we can bear when Allah has said no person will be burdened beyond his scope
what is Hard Leaving women not eatting pork Subhan Allah do we forget that the harder the hardship the greater the reward are we going to complain about the 50 60 70 100 years we are striving to pls Allah?
Khutubatul-Haajah …..

The greater the hardship, or trial or tribulation the greater the reward. The greater the difficulty the greater the reward. The greater the trial or tribulation or difficulty that you are put through the greater the reward will be for you and for me from Allah (Tabarak wa ta'ala).
If Allah loves a people, He puts them to trial, He tests them and places them in difficulty. Allah the Exalted states in Surah Baqarah :

"We will test you with something of fear, and hunger and loss of wealth, and souls and vegetation. And give glad tidings to those who have patience. Those who if in any difficulty or trial, or tribulation occurs to them or happens to them, they say: 'Verily We are from Allah and to Allah we return.' They are those who will receive prayers from their Lord and Mercy and it is those who are guided."

The great reward is in accordance to how great o*nes trial, difficulty or test is. The greater the test and trial, the greater the reward. And everyone must have tests and everyone will have problems & trials and everyone will be put to difficulty, everyone will have moments of grief, moments of sadness moments when things are not as they feel or would like them to be. But the difference is the believer is patient, the believer believes in the decree of Allaah, the believer seeks the reward of Allaah (subhana wa ta'ala) at that time. """

It is normal to face difficulties while on the path to righteousness because, otherwise, we will not appreciate the value of righteousness and will not be able to appreciate such a great gift. So do not worry; suffering is a sign that you are on the right path, for gaining the pleasure of Allah comes through arduous efforts and sweat.

inshallah some quran and hadiths

Almighty Allah said : “Say (O Mohammad -Allaahu 'alayhi wa sallam to mankind) : “if you (really) love Allah then follow me (i.e. accept islamic monotheism, follow the Qur’an and Sunnah), Allah will love you and forgive you your sins. And Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.” Qur’an 3:31.

The greatest reward comes from the greatest trial. When Allaah loves people, He tests them, and whoever accepts it gains the pleasure of Allaah and whoever complains earns His wrath.

Narrated by al-Tirmidhi, 2396; Ibn Maajah, 4031; classed as saheeh by Shaykh al-Albaani.

The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “When Allaah wills good for His slave, He hastens his punishment in this world, and when He wills bad for His slave, He withholds his sins until he comes with them on the Day of Resurrection.”

Narrated by al-Tirmidhi, 2396; classed as saheeh by al-Albaani.

It was narrated that Abu Hurayrah said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Whosoever shows enmity to someone devoted to Me, I shall be at war with him. My servant draws not near to Me with anything more loved by Me than the religious duties I have enjoined upon him, and My servant continues to draw near to Me with supererogatory works so that I shall love him. When I love him I am his hearing with which he hears, his seeing with which he sees, his hand with which he strikes and his foot with which he walks. Were he to ask [something] of Me, I would surely give it to him, and were he to ask Me for refuge, I would surely grant him it. I do not hesitate about anything as much as I hesitate about [seizing] the soul of My faithful servant: he hates death and I hate hurting him.” Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 6502.

Quran 29 6. And whosoever strives, he strives only for himself. Verily, Allâh is free of all wants from the 'Alamîn (mankind, jinns, and all that exists).

NOW with saying all this one can only think what is more better more important more worthy is it pork or Allah is it girls or Allah is it our desires our Allah etc think about it akhi and think about it hard
now im not saying everything will come at once but we try to imply all that which we know that is forbidding and enjoin all that which is good we strive hard to pls Allah and we do so as we learning leaving islam is not the answer for u dont know when u are going to die and to die not in the state of islam in the hearafter this person will be the loser
May Allah protect us and make our eman strong and guide us All ameen

Welcomeeeeeeeee backkk my little brother! :statisfie Alhumdulillah I is so happy ;D Allahu Akbar!!

Hang on in there little bro. Is there anyway you can buy your own food? Do you get pocket money? Do you have your own room? Let's look at the practical side of how to make things easier for you so Let me know inshaAllah.

I have no money, not even pocket money. I share my room with my bro (he isn't muslim).

 

[Laila01x]

in bad times, dont despair, just put all your trust in Allah and everything will be fine Inshallah.

 

[S_87]

Salam Aleykum,


Islam is too hard for me. About many problems, I tell you some:
1st. Food, my family isn't muslim. I live with my mom, stepfather and brother. They don't give me that much respect. My mom usually cooks pork nowadays, and there is like nothing else for me, so I've to eat pork too...

is this a reason to leave your belief? thousands of vegetarians live with meat eating families but they find a way to eat only vegetarian food because of what they believe, yet you who believe in Allah cannot find another way to eat?

2nd. Girls, I'm usually almost everyday out of home. And there are girls, when a I see good-looking gilrs that's really hard to stop myself to don't check them. And school has just begun. I be 16 soon and I hadn't much girlfriend before, so I will look for some sure. And I very miss my last girlfriend...

again this is not a reason to give up islam.

3rd. Prayers, as I said school has just begun and I should spend 1 prayer in school, and that's impossible. The boss of the school doesn't allow me to do that. When I get home then I should prayer for 2 prayers, and after school not sure I'll be in the mood for prayer, especially on bad days. I couldn't really prayer in the last 6-8 days.

your head doesnt have that right and again prayer is needed to keep Allah in mind. Its not about being in the mood.

4th. Fasting, I can't fast alone, because as I said noone else is muslim who I live with. So they eat when they want to, that's bad to see they are eating and I'm watching them... Or hear when they say "it's delicious"...

haha been through the omg its delicious arent you hungryyyyy? thing myself, but Allah will make a way for those who are patient.


you dont have a problem with belief, rather you are afraid of the struggle which is very sad because you BELIEVE imsad yet find it hard to commit. Is that a reason to leave the deen?

ok just read you are not! Alhumdulillah! you dont have pocket money. are there any islamic things you may need? inshaAllah im sure forum members can help you with regards to this

I don't need any Islamic thing right now... Or actually I don't know what I should get more. I've got books about Islam from mesjid already. I've got a carpet to prayer...

"omg its delicious arent you hungryyyyy?" It's actually happened to me, it wasn't that fun (my mom asked me)...
