I was looking at myself talking to myself and I realized this conversation...I was having with myself looking at myself was a conversation with myself that I needed to have with myself.
Mines is ... oh wait, me don't have an i-phone. Me have a phone that makes and receives phone calls and can do text messaging whoohoo. Nokia, connecting people... T-Mobile, making Nokia's job harder than it should be.
whoa, that's better than my c3... which is, let's face it, a very confused phone which has buttons and a touch screen, and browses net like it belongs in the early 90's or something. blueh.
I can't even what's app up my phone... and opera mini browser looks pretty, but works like pretty dumb on my phone.
Don't follow the hype, you do not need a phone which allows you to browse the net like a desktop computer, play games, watch videos, check recipes and knitting guides.
You will lose a part of your life by purchasing a smartphone.
If Allah helps you, none can overcome you; and if He forsakes you, who is there after Him that can help you? And in Allah (Alone) let believers put their trust.
Surah Ale Imran : 160
It was narrated that Anas ibn Maalik (may Allaah be pleased with him) said:
The Prophet (blessings and peace of Allaah be upon him) climbed up Uhud, accompanied by Abu Bakr, ‘Umar and ‘Uthmaan, and the mountain shook with them. He struck it with his foot and said: “Stand firm, O Uhud, for there is no one on you but a Prophet or a Siddeeq or two martyrs.”
Narrated by al-Bukhaari (3483)
Allah (Subhaanahu Wa Taala) does not inspire seeking forgiveness in a slave whom he wishes to punish.
Asalamu Alaykum
My favorite app is Qamardeen or Husnul Muslim. I always use it
I personally have a samsung galaxy s3 but love the classics.
And I agree! you do loose a part of yourself
I dont have an iPhone, but i have an android, and my favorite app is the english Dictionary, very helping me to translate something i dont know.
Btw, if you have an iPhone, can you give your iPhone to me so i can say and show off to my friends that i have "YourPhone", or we can call it yPhone,
Do you understand the joke my friend?
QuranExplorer:
If you are trying to memorise the Quraan/ certain surahs, then this app is very helpful, alhmadulillah.
It allows you to have individual ayaa to be repeated (as many times as you like), or you can have the entire surah on repeat.
There are many recitors to chose from (so it feels like you have the likes of, e.g. Sheikh Mishary Al Afasy, teaching you the correct tajweed as you learn : ) ), and the app has recently been updated to include tafseer from Mufti Taqi Usmani.
myDuaa
This app contains the entire 'Fortress of a Muslim' Kitab - with duaas to be recited each day, and at different occasions.
It also contains the duaas in audio format if you have difficulty reading in arabic.
(This particular app comes for a very small price, but it is absolutely worth it, alhamdullilah)
QamarDeen
This app allows you to keep track of your salaah, Quraan, sadaqah and fasting each day, and it allows you to monitor your progress week-by-week/ over the entire year by means of graphs for each act of ibaadat.
I hope they update this app to include more Nafl acts, in shaa Allah.
Allah
An app with the 99 names of Allah, their basic as well as extended meanings and benefits.
Also has audio play-back.
Al-Quran
Contains the entire Quraan in arabic and english translation, Tafsir by Ibn Kathir, Sahih Bukhari and Sahih Muslim.
Quran Study
If you are studying Arabic, then this is a very useful app alhamdulillah.
It provides word-for-word translation as well as the root-derivations for each word and mentions how many times that particular word is found in the Quran.
(The full version comes at a small cost.)
Many of these apps are available on android as well.
*********
If we use the blessings that Allah Taa'la has provided us, by means of technology, then in shaa Allah, they can become the means of increasing our deeni knowledge and drawing towards Allah.
However if we use these same means to waste our time on e.g. social networks, useless apps that do not serve any benefit towards our Aakhirah, then we will be instead using Allahs blessings to incur His displeasure.
May Allah guide us towards all that is good and pleasing to Him.
Ameen
