Greetings and peace be with you MrKhan89, a prayer about being thankful

Be Thankful

Be thankful that you don't already have everything you desire, If you did, what would there be to look forward to?

Be thankful when you don't know something
For it gives you the opportunity to learn.

Be thankful for the difficult times.
During those times you grow.

Be thankful for your limitations
Because they give you opportunities for improvement.

Be thankful for each new challenge
Because it will build your strength and character.

Be thankful for your mistakes
They will teach you valuable lessons.

Be thankful when you're tired and weary
Because it means you've made a difference.

It is easy to be thankful for the good things.
A life of rich fulfilment comes to those who are also thankful for the setbacks.

GRATITUDE can turn a ! negative into a positive.
Find a way to be thankful for your troubles and they can become your blessings.​

One more prayer called 'Anyway'

People are often unreasonable, illogical and self centred;
Forgive them anyway

If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives;
Be kind anyway.

If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies;
Succeed anyway.

If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you;
Be honest and frank anyway.

What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight;
Build anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous;
Be happy anyway.

The good you do today, people will forget tomorrow;
Do good anyway.

Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough;
Give the world the best you've got anyway.

You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God;
It never was between you and them anyway.​

In the spirit of praying for an inner peace that surpasses all understanding

Patience sucks and I don't like Allah right now, im still mad at him, This is one messed up test that Allah has created and one messed up world he created.

How old are you?

Being patient is challenging. Allah wants us to work for jannah. He doesn't want us to give up. That's part of the reason Allah brings certain hardships our way. Also, think about how life would be if your circumstances didn't require patience. You wouldn't learn, you wouldn't grow. If life was always easy and things always happened the way we wanted them to happen, we wouldn't be getting much out of life. Also, keep in mind that as long as you believe in Allah and strive to be patient and good Muslim, Allah will reward you for your perseverance. The more you struggle with it, the more Allah will reward you. If someone didn't face many hardships throughout his/her life, maybe they wouldn't get so many rewards in the Hereafter.


Also, take the following point into account, and I say this not only to you, but also to myself. We all need a reminder sometimes.

How can we be angry at Allah and unhappy with Him after all that he's given us? No matter what we do, we can never repay Allah for an ounce of blessing He has ever given us. It is by Allah loving grace and mercy that He has given us what He has given us, not because we deserve it. So how can we be angry at Allah?

How do we remain steadfast in our faith in times of Calamity and Hardship

Allah burdens not a person beyond his scope 2:286

Yunus ibn Ubayd said that a man complained to him of the constricted state he was experiencing, and Yunus asked him, "Would you be pleased to be given one hundred thousand dirhams for the sight with which you see?"

The man replied, "No." Yunus asked, "Then for your feet?" The man replied, "No." He reminded him of Allah's blessings which He had given him.

Then Yunus said, "I see that you have hundreds of thousands and you complain about your needs!

 

[abjad]

(31:12) We bestowed wisdom upon Luqman, (enjoining): “Give thanks to Allah.” Whoso gives thanks to Allah, does so to his own good. And whoso disbelieves (let him know that) Allah is All-Sufficient, Immensely Praiseworthy.

Assalamu alaykum, may Allah show you the good that he has put in this world. first of all you have written a very bold comment, and Alhamdulillah that you are involved in dawah work,it shows how much taqwa you have within yourself and be strong in your eeman as shaytan has planted such thought in your mind. this is all my opinion, in my eyes i think Allah has created good and bad but it depends upon us how we use those.And the shaytan will never take part in your actions remember that he will always be the one to give the ideas and persuade you to do evil as that his aim in his life to misguide as many people as he can but really its us who is imposing evil on to each other and the only way we can to detract from this is when we all have taqwa,follow the sunnah and the Quran and live simple.so its not Allah to be in 'fault' but its really us human beings,how can we blame another person who has done nothing wrong when that we done
that action wrong deed ourselves.
basically, stop pointing fingers at others and start pointing the finger at ourselves.

For some reason I still have to blame Allah for the things in this world, because afterall Allah gave us free will and look what disaster this has caused for the most part, but some people have good control but others go crazy and do horrible things

 

[yas2010]

Salaam Brother.

Do you perform Salah?

 

[Abu Junaid]

right now i don't like Allah at the moment, because i don't think he's being fair, he's letting everything bad happen in this world, besides he's the one that created the shaytan.

I've been doing dwah's for a while now and Allah isn't answering, how much longer do i have to be patient, why do i even have to be patient for a friggen long time?

My dear friend the thing that you must know first is Almighty Allah is not cruel to anyone and that in everything that He does there is wisdom ,it doesn't matter if e get the wisdom or nt ,but its a fact that there is

For example ,when a 5 year old baby is sck and his paerents take him to the doctor, and the doctor gives the baby the injection for the cure
in the baby's mind ,he is thinking that the doctor is cruel for injecting him ,and his parents arenot fair because they took him to the doctor

when Prophet Ibrahim was commnded to sacrifice his onlyson, he did not say " i dont like Allah right now" because he knew that it was his Lord's commandments and that there was widom in His evry decision
remember that Allah says n the Qur'an:"And We will surely test you with something of fearand hungerand aloss of wealth and lives and fruits, but give glad tidings to thePATIENT"
"wHO WHEN DISASTER STRIKES THEM,SY:"iNDEED WE BELONG TO aLLAH, AND TO hIM WE WLL RETURN"

A person given a choice to choose between drinking water or poison
cannot blame anyone but himself if he chooses to quench his thirst with oison

(4:1) O men! Fear your Lord Who created you from a single being and out of it created its mate; and out of the two spread many men and women. *1 Fear Allah in Whose name you plead for rights, and heed the ties of kinship. Surely, Allah is ever watchful over you.
*1. What are the mutual rights of human beings, what are the principles on which a sound and stable family life can be established, are questions that are discussed a little further on in this surah. As an appropriate introduction to the subject, the surah opens by exhorting the believers to fear God and to avoid courting His displeasure, and by urging them to recognize that all human beings have sprung from the same root and that all of them are, therefore, of one another's flesh and blood. The expression 'Who created you from a single being (nafs)' indicates that the creation of the human species began with the creation of one individual. At another place, the Qur'an specifies that the one person from whom the human race spread in the world was Adam. (For Adam being the progenitor of mankind see Towards Understanding the Qur'an, Surah 2, verses 31 f. and Surah al-A'raf: 11, etc. - Ed.)
The details how out of that 'being' its mate was created are not known to us. The explanation which is generally given by the commentators of the Qur'an and which is also found in the Bible is that Eve was, created out of a rib of Adam. (The Talmud is even more detailed in that it states that Eve was created out of Adam's thirteenth rib on the left side.) The Qur'an, however, is silent on the matter and the tradition which is adduced in support of this statement does not mean what it is often thought to be. It is thus better that we leave the matter in the same state of ambiguity in which it was left by God, rather than waste our time trying to determine, in detail, the actual process of the creation of man's mate.*
'The author alludes to, but does not quote, the text of the following tradition:
Muslim, 'Rida'ah', 61 and 62; Tirmidhi, 'Talaq'' 12; Ahmad b. Hanbal, Musnad, vol. 2, pp. 428, 449, 497, 530 and vol. 6, p. 279 - Ed.

Iam Grateful to Allah
having created me as human.

 

[Abu Junaid]

Allah doesn't care if i go to hell, Allah is just letting horrible things happen in this world, is Allah experimenting with us, or is he bored?

people are the ones who dont care about going to hell or not
as for Allha,He senttoyou holy books and Prophets fo you
put on this world signs
do you still thinkthathedoesn't care???
Allah is neither experimenting with us nor bored
because experiments are fo the unknowing and being bored is a negative quality
and Akkah is freefrom anynegative quality

 

[Abu Junaid]

MrKhan,

You just may have much higher Eman at this moment than you think. You must have very strong belief in the existence of Allaah(swt), A person is not very likely to be that angry at somebody, unless they are very certain that somebody is real, and is all powerful.

What I am understanding is you feel things should be better in accordance with what you see to be better. You feel Allaah(swt) could make the Dunya a better place and into what you see as a more pleasant. but He is not doing so, even though he has the power.

I see your words as indication you feel it was wrong for Shaytan to have been created as it is Shaytan that leads us into following the the worse choices placed before us and tempts us with the desire to follow our own will instead of submitting to Allaah(swt)

Yes the world is in a mess. Much of mankind is rushing to enter into Hell. Free will is a horrible gift. If we use it we soon worship our desires more than we submit to Allaah(swt).

What I have just learned and been reminded of by your thread:

1. Man often feels he knows this Dunya better than Allaah(swt) knows them

2. Man often does not like what Allaah(swt) asks of us and would prefer mankind to rule this Dunya

3. Man feels he can do a better job at ruling Mankind

4. Man feels he can rule

5. We often see man as being the better ruler

6. We stop following Allaah(swt) and submit to Human rule

7. We follow man and the path leads tochaos.

8. Your words are a wake up alarm as to what happens when Man stops worship of Allaah(swt) and places his needs in the hands of Man

This mess the world is in may be the answer to your Du'as as it is a very powerful push to let man know the results of what happens when man begins to worship himself and places his trust in the power of man

Thank you for posting this thread and reminding me of just how often my poor choices have brought me naught but pain and the only relief comes when I remember Allaah(swt) rules me, I do not rule Allaah(swt)

Well said and well put

you said that;"Free will is a horrible gift"
if i can say that ;the statement is in a way oout of place
because the giver of that gift ;what oes it say about him for giving such a gift
