بِسْم الله

[yourlocalukht-deactivated201710]

This is a reminder to read your adkar.

[ilaalqamar]

You call it “loneliness” But Allah calls it “some time with my slave alone”

You call it “no one is there for me” But Allah calls it “let’s see if my slave seeks help from others besides me”

It’s all dunya! It’s all temporary! It’s all a test! Recognize it.

When was the last time you made istighfar?

Take advantage of His mercy while you still can.

[rabbighfirlee-deactivated201703]

I witnessed a beautiful thing. A brother became annoyed because someone had been rude to him. And the brother walked away without saying anything and as he was walking away, he raised his hands up for dua and then put his hands down a little later and carried on walking.

I caught up with him and asked him what he was doing and he replied, “I raised my hands to the heavens, and said, ya Allah for you, for you I do not say anything rude back, for you I do not get angry, forgive them and forgive me.”

[itshobohere]

The people that come in your life have a purpose. They either get you closer to ﷲ or closer to your destruction.

Salah is most important than whatever your doing right now. I hope you’ve prayed.

[reverthelp]

You have the right to disagree with your parents but you do not have the right to raise your voice, show attitude, be vulgar, disrespect, humiliate, hurt or make them feel like garbage.

Respect parents! No matter what!

Holy Qur’an, al-Ankabut 8: And We have enjoined upon man goodness to parents.

Is it bad that the reason I don’t want to marry a religious man is because I’ll find life so boring.. so many things he’ll say no to and I’m not used to that lifestyle 😫

As salaamu alaykum

Im not entirely sure what you mean by ‘boring’ because I guess the word fun has a subjective meaning right?Never the less the religious man you’re referring to would say no to what Islaam prohibits us from, if he’s saying no to everything then that’s just unfair and wrong of him.With regards to saying no to matters which no should be said to, then this is good. When Islaam prohibits from something, then there’s always a good reason for it, even if we don’t know the reason.Also with the whole ‘it’ll be boring’ mentality, what you can do as a couple isn’t really in all honesty very limited, whether you’re speaking about private and public affairs. You can have fun just as any other couple does and yes sometimes there’s limits but again, only to safeguard us.Whatever it is, just remember the laws of our religion which we abide by are here to protect us.

Also desiring to marry a non religious man will harm you in many ways, just an example; your children, when you see they don’t pray, or they’re selling drugs on the streets, or they’ve become drug addicts etc, then who can you blame other than yourselves? There’s other reasons too, like the religion man will have protective jealousy over you, will ensure he’s giving you your rights and completing his responsibilities, his ultimate motive would be getting himself and his family to paradise unlike the man who doesn’t prioritise his religion.

And Allaah knows best.

[khorasaniyyah]

Let me add that exactly as the brother mentioned, you have so much to do, but it’ll just be within the boundaries of the shariah. If you marry a man that loves the outdoors, you can go on roadtrips, or peform sport activities, there are remote places you can find where you don’t have to be around people when doing so. The best thing about the practising muslim man that tries to strictly follow the qu'ran and the sunnah, is that when you’re outside enjoying yourselves, a big part of that day also ends up being spent in the remembrance of Allah. Don’t let kuffars definition of fun be what you’re striving for, they have fun by making fools of themselves, whilst muslims make the effort to please Allah while they at the same enjoy themselves.

This dunyah is temporary, do not take what is easy before what is right. The akhirah is eternal, a good muslim man will try to save your afterlife, while a non practising will potentially ruin all chances of that.

Angels Aren’t So Sweet

Munkar and Nakir

The angels that will question you in the grave are not darling little cherubs welcoming you to the afterlife. They are terrifying in appearance - black and blue in colour with red eyes, tusks similar to the horns of cows and their voices are like a thunder storm. They are extremely serious and highly impatient - they ask questions and they expect quick, sharp answers.

Malik

The unsmiling guardian of hell and the leader of the 19 angel torturers الزبانية‎. He is merciless and has not even an ounce of compassion for the inhabitants of jahannam.

Angel of Death

[It is widely assumed that the name of the Angel of Death is Azra’il, but there is nothing in the Quran or saheeh sunnah to indicate that this is his name.]

The Angel of Death was specifically chosen for the task of taking souls because of his pitiless (qillat al-rahma). The Prophet Ibrahim, upon seeing the the form of the Angel of Death as he appears when he takes the souls of the disbelievers, was so overtaken by the horror of his appearance that his whole body trembled and he collapsed to the ground.

Despite all this, all angels are beautiful in their purity. Their numbers are incomprehensibly vast and outnumber any other creation in the Heavens or Earth many times over. They fill the heavens by the billions. Some spend their entire existence in constant sujood to their Lord, they hear your silent prayers and if you’re lucky they’ll pray for you and pass your prayer along to the Most High.

HOW DO I STRUCTURE MY DUA?

The Prophet (saw) said: “When one of you makes dua, let him begin by praising his Lord, then send blessings on the Prophet (saw) then pray for whatever he wants” (Tirmidhi)

[tatliruyalar]

“اللهم ان رأيتني ابتعد عنك فردني اليك ردا جميلا”

— Oh Allâh, if you see me getting farther away from you, return me to You in a beautiful way. (via silentstranger)

[reverthelp]

Narrated Abdullah: I asked the Prophet (salallahu alayhiwa sallam) “Which deed is the dearest to Allah?” He replied, “To offer the prayers at their early stated fixed times.” I asked, “What is the next (in goodness)?” He replied, “To be good and dutiful to your parents.”
