Allah is merciful eh?

Witch doctors can't even help themselves. You get lots of them in SA as well. "Dr. Mama" types. Muti Clinics, etc.

When a person goes to a witch-doctor, they are throwing away their Dunyaa and their Aakhirah. It's not even as if the charlatan witch-doctor can help them in this Dunyaa. He just takes the money of the poor saps and sends them on their way. He'll go on a vacation in the Bahamas with that money, and his "patients" can't find him again. He goes to ply his trade somewhere else again.

No witch-doctor can help anyone.
 
Im glad brother Huzaifah brought that up, people still believe in fakes, witches. They'r nothing but thieves who take advantage of close-minded gullible people. People must realize that these fakes do no good and stop feeding them.
 
And when going to the sorcerer makes things worse, who will you blame? Will you again be angry at Allah? Despite going against His commands?

Don't put yourself into this vicious circle.

I can't pretend I understand what you're going through, only you know that. If you told us what your struggles are, perhaps we'd be able to offer some advice and suggestions?

Some of us have had our share of tests too. However this mentality of 'entitlement' that you're displaying is dangerous. Allah doesn't owe us anything. It's foolish to test Him and throw a tantrum when things don't go our way. Even small children know that that tactic won't work with their parents!

Have a think about this. List your reasons, allow us to help you.

May Allah guide us all and keep us on the Straight Path. Ameen.
 
Although your condition might be rare, your struggles are not and are more relatable than you'd like to think they are. It sounds like you've been wanting to do things that, apparently, go against Islam and are trying to find an excuse to do them. Whatever those things are are your business but, finding satisfaction in these temporary, dunya related things are just that, temporary. Don't blame Allah when, after you've done these things, you still feel miserable.

Just keep in mind that the rules apply to all of us the same way it applies to you

Of course you disabled your account, I'm not surprised.

I hope this man that you are courting is aware of your decision. Here we were, worried that he could be deceiving you, when the reality is you could be deceiving him.*sigh*
 
May Allah help you sister
I feel sorry for you
Who is the doctor who tell you this ???
I had 2 things in my life which all the doctors say it can't be healed
But by being patient and pleased with what Allah give me I get heald with a miracle and the doctor him self tell me this
You know why
Because I know that Allah is able to do anything if that good for us
The doctor which tell you this don't that the are some incredible things which they don't know about
We don't worship Allah to do everything we want ... we know that there are some wishes will achieve in jannah there are some hard things which will go by death
And after life we will live a beautiful life
Shaytan want you to forget the real home which is jannah and to focus on the passage way I mean Dunya
Just a short period of time and we will go
( 20 ) Know that the life of this world is but amusement and diversion and adornment and boasting to one another and competition in increase of wealth and children - like the example of a rain whose [resulting] plant growth pleases the tillers; then it dries and you see it turned yellow; then it becomes [scattered] debris. And in the Hereafter is severe punishment and forgiveness from Allah and approval. And what is the worldly life except the enjoyment of delusion.

And in another Aya :
( 24 ) The example of [this] worldly life is but like rain which We have sent down from the sky that the plants of the earth absorb - [those] from which men and livestock eat - until, when the earth has taken on its adornment and is beautified and its people suppose that they have capability over it, there comes to it Our command by night or by day, and We make it as a harvest, as if it had not flourished yesterday. Thus do We explain in detail the signs for a people who give thought.

You did what you did for Allah
And he will reward you about that for sure
But don't be counted about what you did because the benefit of the Deen and practicing is for ourselves firstly but if we do it sincerely and with love
 
Yup, I see venting... but I also see youth... people can change and they can change again.

I am just going through these status on the only other place, Facebook, where I keep in touch with people I would otherwise never hear of or from to a guy, very nice guy, heart of gold, but suffering from failing kidneys. His spirit alone despite the time he has had to spend in hospital, seeking donors for transplant. I feel for him. He has good family and a wealthy one at that. All to live for. What did he do wrong?

The only thing we know is that we don't really know, at all. Allah knows. He also tells us how to 'be'. What you wee saying about being 'selfish' is not really selfish at all. I would say it was more 'arrogant' than anything else. That is the opposite of humility.

Anyway, I dua for you that this is the young and rebellious years where in syaa Allah, you will bore of the wild and why the hell am I doing this routine, and come round when you are older and wiser.


:peace:
 
People don't necessarily have to do something wrong to suffer from a condition. It isn't a punishment, it is a test and how we react to the test is our test score. I posted a video of a man without any limbs. What could he have possibly done wrong to be born that way? NOTHING. Listen to how he chose to take his condition and turned it into an opportunity.He had to overcome his darkness, disbelief and lack of faith to get where he is today.

A "woe to me" attitude is an attitude of victimization and when we choose to become victims we have lost hope, faith and trust in Allah. Consequently, we allow that condition/hardship to consume us and drive us further from Allah. That is a CHOICE.

A person with a good attitude, in spite of difficulties is the opposite. They place their trust in Allah and learn to confide in him; Their difficulties only draw them closer to Allah and they see opportunities of all sorts present themselves. That is a CHOICE.

I'm glad our sister vented here. It clearly shows she cares, but perhaps feels misunderstood and conflicted. In good time, she'll come around, Insha'Allah.

Not everyone gets that chance. How many haven't died while they were still in the "wild and 'why the hell am I doing this" phase. Parents sometimes feel that it's okay if their children are wayward when they're young, because they believe that the children (teenagers, especially) will change their ways and become "Deendaar" (like they say in Urdu) when they get older, but the reality is that death happens before then. People say, "I'll change. I'll make Tawbah tomorrow. I'll just enjoy my life for a while longer. Don't worry about religion when you're young." Tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow. Tomorrow? You don't know if you'll live today. You don't know if you'll still be alive by tonight.

Do people think that Allaah Ta`aalaa will send Malak-ul-Mawt to them with a guarantee, saying, "You will live until you're 94."?

A person can get up in the morning and go out like normal, not knowing that it's the last day they'll ever live on this earth.

Any day can be the last day in your life.

Was-Salaam.

To the sister who originally started this thread, may Allah swt relieve you of your hardships and guide you to Him. It is when we are in difficulty more than ever that we need to hold onto our deen, if at that moment we leave Allah swt, we'll just fall in even deeper into the wrong side.

There is that hadith describing those who will be shaded by Allah swt on the Day of Judgement, and among them are those who worshipped Allah swt in their youth. And why is this specifically mentioned, because it is hard, but it isn't impossible, and if we remain firm on the deen in those years of our youth, then the reward for that is great, because Allah swt knows us better than we know ourselves.

It's true, we'll never know when death will come - we often have the wrong idea old age is guaranteed to us, we're entitled to a long life, well it isn't So many times I've been stunned when I heard of a young brother or sister who passed away suddenly, and it just reminds you how fragile human life is. And how we have to change ourselves, be as best a Muslims as we can be, *now*, because tomorrow isn't a certainty, but that we will die and face Allah swt is the largest certainty of life.

In this day and age teenagers and young adults have been 'infantilised', they're treated as young, immature children who don't know what they're doing. We forget you're fully accountable for everything you do from puberty - and lots of young people internalise that false idea and think 'Islam is for old age when you've had all your fun and then you can 'repent' and get some forgiveness for the akhirah'. The fact is, if you live up until then in so much ignorance, you heart is so hardened it doesn't recognise the truth anymore.

Prophet :saws1: was tested the most but still held firm on to Allah
 
This thread reminded me of these ayaat.

"Do the people think that they will be left to say, "We believe" and they will not be tried?" Qur'an 29:2
"But We have certainly tried those before them, and Allah will surely make evident those who are truthful, and He will surely make evident the liars." Qur'an 29:3

Many of us we think just obeying what Allah(swt) has commended us is enough. A LOT of the time we practice, but don't really believe in what we are practicing. This sisters has vented, but when somebody vents the heart also speaks the darkest secrets and desires in the open most of the time.

She says "I left all the haram things for the sake of Allah and this is what i freaking get" and "I missed out a lot in my life". In secret which only Allah(swt) knew he brings her to the brink of destruction so to say, to bring out what she is trying to hide so badly. I feel sorry for her truly, as i myself was an atheist for like 7 years, but the hearts is NOT content in a live without contentment of the heart. In my case in the time before i was a atheist as a Muslim, i did not know anything about Islam or understood nothing about Islam.

There is a chance that she will become hateful towards Islam. She will blame her misfortune and everything in life on Islam and Allah(swt). This makes a person blind because of hatred. However, much is in her OWN hands. Allah(swt) knows what we try to hide or what we don't even know about it. That is why we should reflect as much as possible and come to know of us and what is harboring in our hearts. Find your desires of certain things and ask Allah(swt) for guidance as often you will see a very logical and rational answer suddenly coming from somewhere that kills that desires for a certain thing that you were having. I guess this sister was also having these desires but instead of facing it head on and tackling it to the ground, she tried to hide it as if Allah(swt) would not know about it or bring her to that point that she would have to choose to either reject Islam and embrace those desires or already tackled those desires. The first step towards tackling such desires is you acknowledging they are there and you asking Allah(swt) helping you to tackle those desires. Allah(swt) already knows what you harbor he just looks if you indeed are honest and wanting to surrender completely to Him.

Look at iblies, when Allah(swt) said to iblies to prostrate before Adam(as). Allah(swt) brought out what he was trying to hide.

So my fellow brothers and sisters, we REALLY must reflect often and when we are alone acknowledge what we desire and ask Allah(swt) to help us to win over those desire, or Allah(swt) will surely make us suffer till we become on the point of breaking. Know that Allah(swt) will test each one of us, when we are completely empty of everything and nothing to hide..that is the moment we have surrendered to Allah(swt).
 
:salam:

sometimes we think that just because our minds know the truth, etc. That we are fine.


"Yes yes, I know Islam is truth, tawheed, etc. My heart is OK! I love Allah!"

For one to know truth "knowing it in your mind" is not enough. If your heart is hardened. You will hardly recognize the truth!

Even if you have super b logic super b grades. It still requires your heart to recognize. You may "understand" but if your heart is forgetful of dhikr. It will just harden more.
The more you forget Allah from your heart, the less you remember Allah in your heart - this is important. The more you forget Allah, the more you will forget yourself. You will lose yourself.

that is why there are people whos heart are soo hard, if you split the moon, they still would not believe - they are spiritually blind.

if they see a sign from Allah, they ignore it, but if they see an unlawful path / falsehood - they will hasten to adopt it as a way.

Remember Allah!

Allahu alam
