I feel as if allah does not Care about me.

Assalamu Alaikum,

Always have good opinion of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. Read this quote. It will help you in shaa Allah

“When we’re struggling to understand Divine Will or trying to make sense of whatever baffles or angers us about this world, let us remember to never betray our own soul by letting a single negative thought about God enter our hearts. Rather, we must compel our hearts to not only have a good opinion, but the BEST opinion of Him–ALWAYS. God is perfect, we are flawed. We make mistakes and must answer for them, His decree is perfect and is never to be questioned.

Even when we are in tribulation and we can’t see or don’t understand the wisdoms, that does not mean they do not exist. When the time comes the veils will be lifted and everything will be understood. Until then, it behooves us to be in a constant state of gratitude to Him and to believe with certainty that He is deserving of all praise.

“I am with my servant’s opinion of Me. Let him therefore have a good opinion of Me.”

“If you have not improved your thinking of Him on account of His attributes, improve it because of His treatment of you. For has He accustomed you to anything but what is good? And has He conferred upon you anything but His favors?” - Ibn `Ata’ Allah

-Ustadha Hosai Mojaddidi

May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala make things easier for you and guide us to the straight path.

Allahumma Ameen

Imām Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله said:

“From the signs of the softness of the heart of the believer is that when his Muslim brother falls and stumbles, the believer feels pain due to this, so much so that it is as if he himself fell and stumbled and he should not rejoice at his tragedy.”

Madarij as-Salikīn (1/436)

عن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه، عن الرسول صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: “ من نفَّسَ عن مؤمنٍ كُربةً من كُرَبِ الدنيا ، نفَّسَ اللهُ عنه كُربةً من كُرَبِ  يومِ القيامةِ . ومن يسّرَ على معسرٍ ، يسّرَ اللهُ عليه في الدنيا والآخرةِ . ومن سترَ مسلمًا ، ستره اللهُ في الدنيا والآخرةِ . واللهُ في عونِ العبدِ ما كان العبدُ في عونِ أخيه . ومن سلكَ طريقًا يلتمسُ فيه علمًا ، سهَّل اللهُ له به طريقًا إلى الجنةِ . وما  اجتمعَ قومٌ في بيتِ من بيوتِ اللهِ ، يتلون كتابَ اللهِ ، ويتدارسونه بينهم ، إلا نزلتْ عليهم السكينةُ ، وغشيتْهم الرحمةُ وحفّتهم الملائكةُ ، وذكرَهم اللهُ فيمن عنده . ومن بطّأ به عملُه ، لم يسرعْ به نسبُه .  “ صحيح مسلم - حديث ٢٦٩٩

Abu Huraira reported Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: “ He who alleviates the suffering of a brother out of the sufferings of the world, Allah would alleviate his suffering from the sufferings of the Day of Resurrection, and he who finds relief for one who is hard-pressed, Allah would make things easy for him in the Hereafter, and he who conceals (the faults) of a Muslim, Allah would conceal his faults in the world and in the Hereafter. Allah is at the back of a servant so long as the servant is at the back of his brother, and he who treads the path in search of knowledge, Allah would make that path easy, leading to Paradise for him and those persons who assemble in the house among the houses of Allah (mosques) and recite the Book of Allah and they learn and teach the Qur'an (among themselves) there would descend upon them tranquility and mercy would cover them and the angels would surround them and Allah mentions them in the presence of those near Him, and he who is slow-paced in doing good deeds, his (high) lineage does not make him go ahead. “ Sahih Muslim 2699 a In-book reference : Book 48, Hadith 48 USC-MSA web (English) reference : Book 35, Hadith 6518

‏قال الإمام أحمد -رحمه الله-

‏«تركت رضى الناس حتى قدرت أن أتكلم بالحق»

‏[«سير أعلام النبلاء» (34 / 11)]

Imam Ahmad bin Hanbal said: “I abandoned (seeking) the approval of the people so that I can be capable of speaking the truth.”

Hidden Sins are the reason why people are going astray while hidden acts of worship are one of the reasons why people become firm and steadfast in Islam.

TEN WAYS TO ACQUIRE ALLĀH’S LOVE:

✔️ FIRST: Recite the Qur’ān with reflection, and understand its meanings and what is intended by it, like a book that someone memorizes in order to explain the author’s intention to others.

✔️ SECOND: Draw close to Allāh by performing the supererogatory acts of worship after fulfilling the obligatory acts of worship.

✔️ THIRD: Constantly remember Allāh in every situation, with the tongue, the heart, and the actions. The person will attain Allāh’s love in accordance with his remembrance of Allāh.

✔️ FOURTH: Give preference to what Allāh loves over what you love when being overcome by desires, thus ascending to what He loves even when the ascension is difficult.

✔️ FIFTH: Contemplate the beautiful names and attributes of Allāh with the heart, and roam in the gardens of this knowledge and its fundamental concepts. The one who knows Allāh by His names, His attributes, and His actions will inevitably love Him. For this reason, those who denied the divine attributes, those with Pharaonic ideology, and the Jahmis, severed the path between their hearts and reaching the Beloved (Allāh).

✔️ SIXTH: Observe and recognize His kindness, benevolence, favors, and blessings, those that are hidden and those that are apparent; this is surely from the causes of His love.

✔️ SEVENTH: Completely submit your heart in front of Allāh the Exalted, and this is from the greatest means (of acquiring Allāh’s love).

✔️ EIGHTH: Seclude yourself during the time of the Divine Descent and turn to your Lord, and recite His speech. Contemplate with the heart and adorn yourself with the manners of a worshiper in front of Him, and conclude all of this by seeking forgiveness and repenting.

✔️ NINTH: Accompany those who truly, sincerely love Him. Collect the best fruits of their speech just as one would pick only the best fruits. Remain silent except when you are certain there is more benefit in your speech and when you know it will better your condition and benefit others.

✔️ TENTH: Stay far away from everthing that will come between your heart and Allāh the Exalted.

By way of these ten means, those who love Allāh have reached the level of attaining His love. And this can all be achieved by two matters:

1.) Preparing your soul for this affair.

2.) Opening the source of your insight.

The greatest act of love is to bring each other closer to Allah.

[al-musahf]

Al-Hashr 59:24

هُوَ ٱللَّهُ ٱلْخَٰلِقُ ٱلْبَارِئُ ٱلْمُصَوِّرُۖ لَهُ ٱلْأَسْمَآءُ ٱلْحُسْنَىٰۚ يُسَبِّحُ لَهُۥ مَا فِى ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِۖ وَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلْحَكِيمُ

He is Allah, the Creator, the Inventor, the Fashioner; to Him belong the best names. Whatever is in the heavens and earth is exalting Him. And He is the Exalted in Might, the Wise.

[islamic-art-and-quotes]

“The experience of Prophet Yunus `alayhi sallatu wa sallam (may Allah send his peace and blessings upon him) is so crucial to internalize. When he was trapped in the belly of the whale, he had only one way out: turning completely to Allah, realizing Allah’s oneness and his own human frailty. His du`a’ encapsulates this truth in such a profound way: “There is no God but You, glory be to You, I was wrong.” (Qur’an, 21:87) Many of us are also trapped inside the belly of the whale of our own desires and objects of worship. It is our own selves which we become enslaved to. And that imprisonment is the result of putting anything where only God should be in our hearts. In so doing we create the worst and most painful of prisons; because while a worldly prison can only take away what is temporary and inherently imperfect, this spiritual prison takes away what is ultimate, unending and perfect: Allah and our relationship to Him.”

— Yasmin Mogahed

[ummmaymoonah]

We are not a religion that is united beacuse we are all from one race that decends from one tribe and one community:

Sheikh Saaleh al Fawzaan(may Allaah preserve him) said:

As long as the Aqeedah (creed) is shaky and blemished the Muslims cannot be united. It is not possible to unite the one upon Bidah with the one upon the Sunnah, ABADAN. It is not possible to unite the person of corrupt Aqeedah (creed) with a person of sound aqeedah even though they share the same name (i.e. they are both called Muslims).

The Muslims have to be united upon Tawheed, upon the correct aqeedah, upon the Book of Allaah and the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allaah (Muhammad-sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam). The Muslims have to come together; they have to unite and follow that which emanates from that bond and unity, as long as this does not depart from obedience to Allaah and His Messenger (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam). And due to that, the Messenger (sallal-laahu alayhi wasallam) said:

”Allaah is pleased for you with three things: ”that you worship Him (alone) and not to associate anything with Him; and that you (all) hold unto the Rope of Allaah and not to be divided; and that you give sincere advise to the one placed in charge over your affairs (i.e. the Muslim Ruler)”

As for the one who calls to the unity of the Muslims even though they differ in their aqeedah, indeed, this is impossible. The one who wants to unite the Muslims even though they are upon divergent beliefs, even though they are upon shaky beliefs, this is inconceivable. (It is) like the one who attempts to bring together water and fire or a beast and a fish. This can never be possible because a beast lives on land and a fish lives in the sea…

While we sit in the comfort and warmth of our homes, may Allaah ease it for our brothers and sisters in prisons, the homeless, the poor and hungry, the unsafe facing traumatic wars.

May Allaah continue to bless us and make us appreciate the big blessings that we take for granted.
