This part is the part I do not understand. Why do you yearn for justice to be in dunya? Wouldn't you prefer the justice to be postpone for akhira (afterlife)? What if the justice have indeed been brought to you in this life and you get justice in additional to that you have full custody of your daughter and you have the power and she have to pay YOU child support? Let us say...you come victorious and all of this have happened. There. You got your justice in dunya. Your daughter loves, your her daddies little girl and everyone is happy ever after. Now when you die and you are resurrected and hellfire is in front of you and you have not much deed to enter paradise and you need every excuse on your baggage to get deeds from other people to save your skin...you go in the afterlife.."AH!" that is right! Those family tortured me so you say to Allah that those families have done this and that to me...but....wait...you already got your justice. You got it in Dunaya, remember? You have won them and they last and your daughter is yours and she was your daddy little girl, remember? Now what?
Wouldn't you prefer instead of having it here and having your daughter and having her be your daddies little girl instead of that you have her your worse enemy, the family cut ties between you and the daughter (because of the mother) and she goes to Operah who endorse male bashing will use you for political reasons to show to the world that men are indeed unfit parents that they are mature little children and that women should be the one who have full custody and raising the children and she bashes you in TV and your daughter hates you and you lose your rights you are oppressed 100% here in this world, no one cares for you (because you are a man and a father) and the daughter want nothing to do with you? I know it sounds perverted but look at it from this perspective:
A) Cutting ties between parent and child is hara'am. The mother and her family is doing the job not you. Now you have huge power over them in day of judgement. People under estimate the horror and the curse and the punishment they will be getting for the cause of cutting ties between one Muslim to another (let alone between child and parent). Mostly, women are the biggest culprit in this regard.
B) Child hating parent and not wanting to do anything with the parent is hara'am in Islam. Your daughter will be poisoned and she will hate you and want nothing to do with you. Now you have more power in your bag in day of judgement. You are getting higher and higher and higher and higher and higher level in Jannah. Why do you want to throw all that away for Dunaya? (IS there any guarantee that your daughter will even do prayer to you when you die?)
C) You go under the category of oppressed. Any single person who is oppressed the curtain (not physical one mind you) between the person who is doing dua and to Allah (Subhanu Wa Talaa) is lifted. Anyone! ANYONE! Because Allah hates...HATES OPPRESSION. Look at the GREATEST GIFT you have now. You have Dua that the curtain is lifted...it is immediately answered. Take this opportunity and make Dua that Allah make you die Muslim, that he enters you paradise, that you pass the trail of death, that the shaitan (as you are about to die) cannot have his hands on you, that when the angels ask you in the grave you answer them correctly and easily. Make Dua for the akhira. Make dua that Allah helps the suffering Muslims in the world. Stop focusing on Dunaya and getting Dunaya justice.
Brother [MENTION=16760]xboxisdead[/MENTION].... you say it like i should keep my calamities as tokens. if my existence and my efforts in making my journey easier and worthy of our lord (as well as those who i am responsible for) in this dunya didnt matter to me, then yeah i could have kept those tokens and saved them and cut myself off from this dunya and society. These calamities have not just affected me, its affected my close ones, some are much more vulnerable than me, its affected my day to day life.. i guess its natural human instinct to want justice, have you ever been violated in any form, i cant stay in a shell for the rest of my life either? those people many centuries ago went out on islamic conquest, during their journeys they were oppressed, inimidated, discriminated and persecuted, despite all that they chose to fight back, fight for their rights, fight for their religion. sabr plays a big part but while being patient the mind wonders and this does take up time and mental effort. Thus resulting in more prayer more thought on how to make things stop i.e. the window breaking, how to succeed in court in regards to daughter, my general view now is keep praying, keep trying, have the intention, leave the rest with Allah swt. Yes i have mentally prepared myself for all outcomes concerning my daugter in coming years but i cant help feeling the mothers family got away it, i mean come on.... lying to relatives (probably to save their own backs), lying in court to keep daughter away, car arson x 1, window breaking on 3 seperate occasions.... i will still pray everyday brother [MENTION=16760]xboxisdead[/MENTION].... they claim to be practising muslims, going to saudi arabia every two years, in their house the quran is read nearly daily by the mother in law, salah is perfomred in the house by certain family members, if they have been observing our faith, how can such derogotary inhumane words against me and my family be expressed by their tongues, how can they lie? how can they cause criminal damage and cause terror amongst the vulnerable? i pray that Allah punishes them, makes them vulnerable, makes them so small that they genuinely turn to Allah swt so that they may come closer to him, even if it means me asking for divine punishment on them in return for their sins to be expiated... (in the same manner of my sins being expiated through calamities allowed on us by Allah swt, yeah, im not perfect)
heres what i pray for daily .... for justice, for success, for good health, for rizq, for ease, for wanting a loyal god fearing family, for forgiveness of our sins, for strength and mental ability in overcoming problems and calamities, and its not just for myself, i pray for my family and all the believers, everyday without miss.
i'm going to keep trying for my girl until i have no resource or mental ability left, for as long as i have thawfiq and a chance i'll still be there trying until little girl can make decisions for herself. this is my life, i dont want it but something drives me this way i cant explain it. loads of people say abandon daughter right now, its a total waste of time and money, its a no win.... then i hear of some seperated fathers actually have managed to develop relationships with their daughters, their circumstances may have been less serious than mines... i mean im up against some mean ruthless people, what chance do i have? insh Allah prayer and determination will pay off, Allah swt can turn the tables in a split second if he wanted. this determination keeps me close to my deen, closer than i have ever been before... i didnt envisage such life but here i am.....

Exactly.... the mother(child with her too) is doing her ummrah as you read this message, at the same time has kept my daughter from me for the past 2 years... just doesnt make sense!
B) Child hating parent and not wanting to do anything with the parent is hara'am in Islam. Your daughter will be poisoned and she will hate you and want nothing to do with you. Now you have more power in your bag in day of judgement. You are getting higher and higher and higher and higher and higher level in Jannah. Why do you want to throw all that away for Dunaya?

no guarantees but i no longer assume the future, the future is what you try and make of it...

i pray everyday, it is being heard, yes for the oppressed and persecuted the curtain is lifted subhan Allah, every prayer to Allah swt is being recorded, rewards for recognition and request from almight are being credited subhan Allah, its the feelings of my struggling physical and mental human self that asks for help (the soul / nafs is spiritual and is at ease but wants whats best for its physical self), i know for every call not responded too straight away, my rewards are being banked elsewhere... knowing that im content to some extent, but i can't bear a muslim opressing me, i just cant. believing muslims do not behave this way nor do they carry out these acts....!
brother [MENTION=16760]xboxisdead[/MENTION], i appreciate your advice, i do but every individual is unique.... i am saying it how i think it and now im always trying to choose best course of action, i might not even see the light of the following day but as long as this heart beats my brain will always ponder for the good, always insh Allah....
Apologies in advance if I have offended anyone reading this, sometimes my frustrations can get the better of me, it has led me to this way of thought.. as always I pray to Allah swt for guidance
