“And whatever you have of favor - it is from Allah. Then when adversity touches you, to Him you cry for help”
[an-Nahl 16:53]. -
I just feel so adrift on this planet but it makes me feel that I am not being grateful enough, that kind of attitude itself being sinful.
The worst thing is I don't know how I, myself, Laila can approach Allah.
Its easy for me to write about tawakkul but tawakkul and accepting Allah's qadr.
But since I have a hard past tawakul is a big task to overcome. Alhamdulilah.
I like to think on the other side of the mountain there is a garden with flowers as a reward. For accepting Qadr and being grateful and patient. Its just a hard path to take.
Surah Balad verses 11-17
90:11:
But he has made no effort to pass on the path that is steep.
90:12:
And what will make you know the path that is steep?
90:13:
(It is) Freeing a neck (slave, etc.)
90:14:
Or giving food in a day of hunger (famine),
90:15:
To an orphan near of kin.
90:16:
Or to a Miskin (poor) afflicted with misery.
90:17:
Then he became one of those who believed, and recommended one another to perseverance and patience, and (also) recommended one another to pity and compassion.Last edited by LailaTheMuslim; 06-10-19, 06:58 PM.Abu Malik at-Ash'ari reported:
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: Cleanliness is half of faith
and al-Hamdu Lillah (all praise and gratitude is for Allah alone) fills the scale, and Subhan Allah (Glory be to Allah)
and al-Hamdu Lillah fill up what is between the heavens and the earth, and prayer is a light,
and charity is proof (of one's faith)
and endurance is a brightness and the Holy Qur'an is a proof on your behalf or against you.
All men go out early in the morning and sell themselves, thereby setting themselves free or destroying themselves.

أَلَمْ تَرَوْا أَنَّ اللَّهَ سَخَّرَ لَكُم مَّا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَا فِي الْأَرْضِ وَأَسْبَغَ عَلَيْكُمْ نِعَمَهُ ظَاهِرَةً وَبَاطِنَةً ۗ وَمِنَ النَّاسِ مَن يُجَادِلُ فِي اللَّهِ بِغَيْرِ عِلْمٍ وَلَا هُدًى وَلَا كِتَابٍ مُّنِيرٍ - 31:20
Do you not see that Allah has made subject to you whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth and amply bestowed upon you His favors, [both] apparent and unapparent? But of the people is he who disputes about Allah without knowledge or guidance or an enlightening Book [from Him].

Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace be and blessings on him, said, “Allah Almighty says: I am as my servant expects me and I am with him as he remembers me. If he remembers me in himself, I will remember him in myself. If he mentions me in a gathering, I will mention him in a greater gathering. When he draws near me by the span of his hand, I draw near him by the length of a cubit. When he draws near me by the length of a cubit, I draw near him by the length of a fathom. When he comes to me walking, I come to him running.”Originally posted by LailaTheMuslim View Post

Sister, Allah is always there & is ready to respond to us when we call upon Him, jalla wa aala. Sometimes when I feel down, I just talk to Allah, not even dua but I just talk to Him. Like for example, ‘Ya Rabb, I love you so much please love me back. Ya Rabb, I just want to worship you & please you, make it easy for me’ etc. Honestly, talk to Allah & the feeling you get afterwards is amazing SubhanallahComment

I do sometimes wonder how those who have been/are going through extreme suffering and traumatic experiences manage to remain steadfast in faith, and how I would cope in similar circumstances..oh well Allah does not burden a soul with more than it can bear..Originally posted by LailaTheMuslim View PostComment

It is okay to feel sad as long as it don’t consume you .
My past ."Try to distance yourself from everything that causes you worry and sadness, so that you may always live with peace of mind and an open and tranquil heart, seeking Allah and His worship and working on your worldly and otherworldly matters, for if you try this, you will find rest.Comment

A few things made me sad today, but that's just my life. Always look at those worse off than you not those better off than you.'If you are grateful, I will surely increase you [in favor]'

My throat is still sore. I can barely read a surah and that's it. Ramadan is almost here..so I don't know what to do.
I'm going to call my doctor tomorrow morning, and I hope that they can treat it and it goes away.
I fear that she might tell me that I need to rest my voice -_________- Khayr bi'dhnillah.Comment

Alhamdulilah I haven't felt sad for the past 3 months. Which was so good because I have had some serious issues that were causing me stress, sadness and much more for a few months. But today I was sad for a bit in the morning. I had a dream that was very stressful that replayed the stress I experienced a few months ago. It made me really sad.Comment
