Why is Allah doing this to me.

[sister herb]

I would say that a person who have been tested "enough" and is still thankful to Allah is lucky.

 

[Serinity]

I GET IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think..................

you need to put your FULL Trust in ALLAH and SUBMIT to HIM 100% and when you say "Oh Allah help me" BELIEVE it MEAN IT! And seek refuge within Allah from the accursed Shaytaan, BUT trust ALLAH, thaT INDEED He protects you!

And when you go to your exams, think to yourself "I know I can do it, Allah is on my side! I will strive, I will do my best, I will get my exams this year!" And put your FULL reliance on Allah, and strive with all you have.

This, I've been lacking soooooooooooooo much. I constantly sought refuge within Allah, but what I lacked was trust in Allah, that indeed, yes, He will protect. That is why I was still experiencing waswass, and started questioning........ I did wrong, I did not trust Allah. I will try now..

So my advice:

Trust Allah, with all your power, seek refuge within Allah from all evil, with conviction, and start your homework.

my problem is I lack trust in Allah.
And Allah knows best.

 

[Umm Abed]

Then my dear sister you havent been tested enough . lucky u.

Many of us has been through enormous trials and difficulties, but knowing that Allah is close by is complete comfort, alhamdulillah.

 

[Serinity]

Is it permissible to say

"I believe I can do this, I believe in myself, cause I believe in Allah, and I believe Allah believes in me." ?

Allah PUTS you through something cause HE knows you can do it, and He knows the outcome, BUT the problem is YOU don't believe in yourself, that yes, you can. You believe in Allah, but if you don't believe in yourself, that you can do this, then idk where you are going.

 

[smallkid]

My trials dont end your trials have ended after sometime or you were good enough to tackle your problems. I am neither good enough or have missed opportunities thinking that Allah will cover up for me because I was following him. He didnt.

 

[Umar Ibn Farooq]

Everything happens in a opposite way for me.


This week I have paid more sadqah, and accidents happened to me. Whereas the logic and Quran says that Sadqah prevents you from accidents.


I helped others, and Allah abandoned me whereas Quran says when you help others Allah helps you.


Why Allah is doing everything in my life like this ?

Allah is so merciful he's letting you breathe.

Be grateful

When there are only failures in my life and no one thing where I am good, how can I believe in myself. Things that i do with 100% pure intention and conviction leads me to failures. All these efforts are backed by my parents duas, my 100% intentions and effort. I cannot figure out why do I fail when I am clicking all the right boxes.

do you even need what you are striving for (your exam)?

A. you have gotten the test wrong.
B. you haven't pressed the right box yet / figured out the answer.

I don't understand the first sentence,

Pray as if everything depends on Allah. Wanna clarify? May Allah guide us all. Ameen.

 

[sister herb]

You never can´t trust to Allah too much.

If you think that everything you have done in your lifetime has been only one big failure, it´s now a good time to sit down, think seriously what you have done, what you could do by other way and start new life.

Sorry to say, but your self-pity doesn´t help you at all.

 

[smallkid]

I have run out of options. Atleast self pity gives me a chance to cry on myself. At 25 you cant change much. People make fun of me like crazy because I have trusted Allah didnot achieve anything in this world and hereafter. I am a zombie now.

 

[sister herb]

At 25 you can change all your life. I, as 49, can do it too if I need to. It´s never too late. Did you notice one other thread here about 92 year old lady who reverted to Islam? It wasn´t too late to her too.

 

[ardianto]

I don't understand the first sentence,

We must believe that everything happen because Allah decide it happen. And something would not happen if Allah decide it would not happen. We must believe that whatever will be happen to us, it's determined by Allah.

However, we must also believe that we have to do our best effort to reach what we expect, by pray and work. And then Allah will give what the best for us based on the effort that we have done.

 

[Souljette]

I havent seen anyone suffer more than me. Everyone has atleast one success in life despite all their shprtcomings. I have none despite trying to remain as much close to Allah as possible. When my friends were drinking, I was doing tahajjud just to make Allah happy. And now each and everyone of them is a bacon of success, and I am here talking about suicide. Where is fairness of Allah ?

Asalamualaykum bro are you living in Syria? Cuz I'm pretty sure if ur not living there then you surely hv seen people suffering more than you or at least heard if not seen.. And bro you are just thinking about yourself for which reason every flaw of yours seems magnified I think you need to go somewhere or go to a orphanage or a village where you can ponder upon what your saying... Allah gives to those who are grateful who are patient during tests.. You have become pessimistic and you can not go anywhere if you stop beIrving in yourself ..start believing in yourself

There is both Allah and you, so you have to look at the complete quote to try and make sense of it, pray as if everything depends on Allah, work as if everything depends on your own efforts.

It's not enough to pray for the poor and sit at home doing nothing, likewise, if you are going to help them, but do not offer up your efforts in prayer, it might seem to say you can do it all on your own without help from Allah.

For example, if you volunteered in a soup kitchen to help the poor, and prayed for your efforts to be blessed, and give thanks to Allah for all the good things that happen, that seems to be the more complete solution.

Does that make any sense?

Blessings

[smallkid]

Dear Eric,

Every year I think next year will be better for last 10 years and things are only going downhill. How can I not lose hope and panic ?

yeah it makes sense, Thanks.

So it is like, Allah's will and our efforts = success. Without Allah's help, there is no success, without our efforts, the exams won't write themselves............ kinda. Therfore no success there either.

One's actions will be more blessed with the help of Allah. and it is one of the ways to show gratefulness to Allah, and not be arrogant, ie. think everything you did was because of you only, etc.

 

[Serinity]

@smallkid if Allah wanted, He could do everything Himself, but He lets us struggle, etc. To see who is best in deed.

Sometimes, Allah tries us, so that we may gain patience, humbleness, etc. For example, you may go through a hard time, but that is only to make you stronger. The real goal/test is not that you get the this or that, but that you may attain something in that hardship, that you wouldn't have attained otherwise.


Like for a diamond to become a diamond, a shinning gem, it has to go through high temperatures etc.

And Allah knows best.
