I want everybody's opinion on this (plz)

[IbnAbdulHakim]

mike i hope this helps you

Abu Hurairah narrates

that
"The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: Islam initiated as something strange, and it would revert to its (old position) of being strange, so good tidings for the strangers." (Muslim)

Allah's Apostle (peace be upon him) said:

The world is a prison-house for a believer and Paradise for a non-believer." (Muslim)

The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said:
"The Mu`min who mixes with people and remains patient on their harms, is better than the Mu`min who does not mix with people nor does he remain patient on their harms"

(Narrated by Ibn Maajah and at-Tirmidhi and it is Saheeh)


Us muslims should really live in this dunya (world) like strangers, this world is not ours, this world is the kuffars paradise, let them enjoy it and let us strive through it.

:salamext:

 

[Mike]

but then we still have to find something to occupy our time or life becomes a burden.

i'm trying to find something but i didn't find , but yeah i found one thing which is i wanna be a sweeper in Al-Masjid Al haram in Makkah but how is that?

So I'm trying to fill my time here with things that will benefit me and other muslims, like giving dawah etc etc.....

very good but as i said when i do so people want to befriend me, i'm a lonely guy and don't like to have friends, but then you know they will misunderstand me and instead of helpoing them i'm hurting them

may Allah bless you brother for your great post mashallah, these two haddeeths are two of my favourites

The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said:

(Narrated by Ibn Maajah and at-Tirmidhi and it is Saheeh)

do you want the truth! that's it THIS HADDEETH was the reason which makes want to communicate with people but i *sigh* i can't

Us muslims should really live in this dunya (world) like strangers, this world is not ours, this world is the kuffars paradise, let them enjoy it and let us strive through it.

i wish they will know the true paradise, which is Allah, and to let them know this ,a part of the responsibilty is upon us , me and you

Hi
OK, see that's me since a long while
ummm I don't want anything, really nothing i want, i have no whishes, no ambitions, life is very boring to me, why is that, do you know, is this normal?
I don't want anybody just wanna be alone. i'm like that since many years
actually i was a lonely kid as well, i prefered to be so

Salamz bro Mike

I dunno bro if its normal, but Islam deffo deosnt recommend doing it for prolonged periods of time atleast... coz it's real important to stick aroudn with Muslims who will help u 2keep up ur Iman and always remind you of the point of this life and be moral support to you.

it's obvious from the hadith taht a Muslim is allowed (and possibly encouraged) to go into seclusion if his surrounding is corrupt n no one to stick to who will help him stand against fitnah. and even in such case, to do dawah and standup against the situation is better....

havn said dat... i think it is normal for alot of ppl 2 like bein alone at times, gives tiem to chill n just think over things to themselves... n just recollect themselves a lil.

Even the prophet use to do that when he was in Makkah before he recievedt he message

sorry if this is repeatin wat other ppl said.. didnt hav tiem 2 go over the entier therad...

ok bak 2my retreat..
take carwe salamz ramadan mubarak btw!


ps: night time is great time 2b alone sometimes goin out 2 some real far place n just contemplatin is real neat too :happy: just do ur best 2 not be alone alwayssss, im sure dere's neat bros aroudn 2 b with

lolwatever

 

[Mike]

Mike, I'm guessing you're a revert? If so, would you mind telling us how it happened? If it's not too much trouble.

Actually i was born in a muslim family, but you can say a family who has a little info about islam, but Alhamdulilah after i studied the religion, i shared them what i learned now they are informed and so proud of being Muslims mashallah really so proud

 

[Mike]

first of all, mashallah i think this site have many great devout Muslims, i'm so happy to see such muslims may Allah bless you

Even the prophet use to do that when he was in Makkah before he recievedt he message

ramadan mubarak btw!

yeah Ramadan Mubarak thank you, wow, it is my best month

 

[Helena]

i remember watching a programme on islam channel........very useful info....

wot we eat..food we intake..that eventually digests...

the clothes that we wear...eventually worns out

the house we live in.....have bought it....eventually a new family moves in...buys the house from us....

this shows that we take nothing with us to the grave......but the only thing that will stand for us in the day of judgement...is how much recited the quran...did we understand the meaning of it..and taught the others how islam is beautiful...giving charity...will stand for us.....

something else i wanted to add:

from an hadith...... Abu Hurrayrah realted that the prophet(saw) said:

The rightts of a muslim upon a muslim are six: when you meet him, salute him,when he invites you, accept his invitation, when he seeks advice from you, give him advice, when sneezes and praises Allah(swt), when he falls ill, visit him, and when he dies, follow his coffin.

also Abu hurayrah related that the prophet(saw) said:

the believer is (like) a mirror to anohter believer, he removes his sufferings and also protects him in his absence....

anas bin malik reported that the prophet(saw) said:

none of you has iman unless he loves for his (muslim) brother what he loves for himself.

anothe point:

anas bin malik narrated that:

When the prophet(saw) instructed that, help your (muslim) brother when he commits a wrong and when a wrong is committed against him, someone asked, o messenger of Allah, i understand how i can help him if a wrong is committed against him, but how can i help him if he is himslef committing a wrong? At that, the prophet(saw) answered, stopping him from committing the wrong is helping him.

MashaAllah brother. May Allah help you achieve your wish. Ameen. Unfortunately I don't have a clue how to go about it...sorry..

very good but as i said when i do so people want to befriend me, i'm a lonely guy and don't like to have friends, but then you know they will misunderstand me and instead of helpoing them i'm hurting them

I understand what you're saying brother. I seem to be facing the same predicament when helping others. People want to be friends and start inviting me to their home. But I just say something like, "Plz don't mind.. but I'm too busy to have a social life."
But we can't let our wish not to make friends get in the way to do good deeds. The ummah needs help and guidence. Why not do something along the lines of writing articles on topics that will help someone to come closer to deen? That way you don't need friends to do it. You can just print them off and deliver them door to door. I've written one on Children's Rights in Islam (on my user page) plz check it out to see what I mean.

I read a hadith once about a man who worshipped Allah day and night, but he never spread the Word and all his knowledge was useless for anyone else. Allah ordered Israel to take his life saying that he was of no use to mankind. may Allah forgive me if I have stated anything incorrect. I'm just trying to say that there is more to life than worshipping Allah for one's own benefit alone. I hope you can see where I'm coming from. : )

Wa Alaikum asalam
wow really nice to know that, i'm sorry if you don't like it, myself i like it, do you like it?

who said i dont like it. i LOVE it

 

[Munawwarah]

Even though you said that you don't have any ambitions and you are lonely. Sometimes you can feel that way if you like to do things that are different than what other people are doing. Such as you prefer to stay home and read a book or you don't like crowds. It's nothing wrong with being that way. I'm like that myself. I look at it as being a good thing.

Sometimes society bombards you with what you should be doing with your life usually what everybody else is doing which the majority of the time is no good for us especially us Muslims.

Just be yourself.

 

[Annie]

Salams i think you have seen the reality of this duniyah, all i would advise you is to practice your deen and i dont think nothing is wrong with you, however if you feel depressed then go and see a doctor or talk to your imam.
wasslam

Your last sentence is the important one. As long as it is your genuine preference, who are we to make any assumption about it being right or wrong.

I do know that solitude if used properly, need not be lonliness, it can be a means of learning the true values of life and seeing that the only thing we really own is the love and mercy of Allah(swt)

Self imposed solitude is only a problem if it is misused and we allow our mind to become a playground for shaytan. A person who chooses solitude, needs to establish and keep a very strong faith and trust in Allah(swt)

Assalamulaikum

Subhan’Allah, stop lying brother! Your telling us all you are NEVER happy, ALWAYS FEELING LONELY?

Get out there, do something with your life. This is all you have, one life, try as hard as you can. The food on your table, the clothes your wearing, your father, mother, sisters shouldn’t you be happy and grateful towards Allah swt for these blessings.

What about the holy Quran. If you find it difficult to read it in Arabic, read a few pages in it, then devote a few minutes or hours by reading the translation. It has to make sense to you. I guarantee it will make you feel as ease.

How can you even type “I don’t want anything, I have no wishes, no ambitions”. You telling me you don’t want Jannah? You don’t strive for Jannah?

You wake up in the morning feeling lifeless?Make a dua, smile, go for a stroll, observe nature and thank Allah swt, help an elderly, do some dawah work. Keep yourself occupied. Make targets and goals for yourself in a small diary

i.e my goal is to learn Arabic
i.e my goal is to read all my 5 times namaz everyday

Then make targets each day, say for example:I will read one page of Quran.

Keeping yourself busy repels boredom and loneliness.

Remember idle hands are the workshop of shaytaan.

Assalamulaikum

Wa Alaikum asalam

Your telling us all you are NEVER happy, ALWAYS FEELING LONELY?

i didn't say so, i was happy when i went to Makkah, yeah i am lonely and feel stranger even when i am among people

shouldn’t you be happy and grateful towards Allah swt for these blessings.

i do give thanks to Allah Alhamdulilah

What about the holy Quran. If you find it difficult to read it in Arabic, read a few pages in it, then devote a few minutes or hours by reading the translation. It has to make sense to you. I guarantee it will make you feel as ease.

I do recite it every single day

How can you even type “I don’t want anything, I have no wishes, no ambitions”. You telling me you don’t want Jannah? You don’t strive for Jannah?

i'm sorry to say this, yeah i don't want Jannah if i can choose, all what i want is to please Allah, i'm not worshipping Him 'cause i want His reward which is Jannah , no, he is worth worshipping and i DO love him, Allah is my Jannah

Keep yourself occupied. Make targets and goals for yourself in a small diary

How? there are no goals, I have no one, that's me, I'm not interested in Anything

Keeping yourself busy repels boredom and loneliness.

being lonely doesn't make me sad not it is my problem, i just asked is that normal and ok.

MashaAllah. I understand your statement a 100%. You love Allah simply because you do. Not for any gain. Nor out of fear of Hell. The main thing IS wanting to please Allah out of love. And praise Him because He is worthy of praise. But in the here-after to be close to Allah, you will have to be in Jannah inshaAllah. There's no harm in wanting to be in Jannah for that purpose alone.

How? there are no goals, I have no one, that's me, I'm not interested in Anything

Nothing at all? Do you wish to help the Ummah? Surely that is one way of pleasing Allah. We must have some goal in life. It needn't be for our own benefit. If we don't have goals we have to put them there. Without a goal, every breath becomes a burden to bear. Allah expects us to helps others and is pleased with us for doing so. That can be a goal in itself for the pleasure of Allah... if there's nothing you want for yourself.

being lonely doesn't make me sad not it is my problem, i just asked is that normal and ok

I prefer solitude for myself. I agree it doesn't mean one is sad or depressed. In fact it makes me happier because it means I don't get to hear people backbiting others and prevents me from falling into the same trap. It is better to be alone than be in the company of people who distract us from deen and the meaning of life.

May Allah accept all that you do to please Him. Ameen.

 

[Fatımah]

Allahu akbar ! Now all u need to do is feel the beauty of the pleasure of Allah (by performing righteous deeds/praying tahajjud etc etc) and trust me someone like you, mashAllah you will get hooked
