The Origins Of Halloween And Its Negative Effect On Muslims

Dealing With Difficult People

Question: I often encounter rude behavior from sisters when I attend the mosque and other events. This burdens my spirit and I’ve concluded that Islam is the relationship between you and God and the ummah part is just extra if you can deal with it. In other words I don’t enjoy the company of many sisters and just rather be at home. Tonight from prayer I was walking towards my door and I thought “maybe I shouldn’t be Muslim anymore” and as soon as I thought it, I fell down a flight of steps, hurt my right hand and nearly broke the fingers on my left. If the shayateen are bounded during Ramadan where is all this from?

Answer: I pray that you are doing well inshaAllah and that Allah will ease the pain in your heart and safeguard and increase your faith.

The scholars of Ihsan (spiritual excellence) note that dealing with people is one of the greatest trials that a person can face. It tests one’s whole being — one’s physical, emotional and mental reactions. Dealing with the ill-treatment of a fellow Muslim and being forgiving is a great mujahada (spiritual struggle) whose reward is commensurate with the difficulty one finds in doing it.

Rasulullah SAW Is Always Thinking Of Us

In The Name Of Allah, The Most Compassionate And The Most Merciful.

Verily, there has come unto you a Messenger from amongst yourselves (i.e. whom you know well). It grieves him that you should receive any injury or difficulty. He (Rasulullah SAW) is anxious over you (to be rightly guided, to repent to Allah, and beg Him to pardon and forgive your sins, in order that you may enter Paradise and be saved from the punishment of the Hell-fire, for the believers (he SAW is) full of pity, kind and merciful. – Surah At-Taubah, 127

The Grandmother’s Love

MasyaAllah! How have we spent our time in dunya, preparing for the afterlife?

In The Name Of Allah, The Most Compassionate And The Most Merciful.

This was what Ahmad Shahmi’s nan said before telling him to upload her picture.

Nan: Shahmi, can you help me upload my pictures? Can? A while only *points at her picture*. I want to say “Selamat Hari Raya”, okay? Nan wants to see my picture in computer.
Shahmi: Caaaannn. Nan go and pray Isya while I do this, okay?

Nan: Okay *walks to her room and suddenly came back*. Nan loves all her grandchildren. I scold them put I don’t keep it inside (grudge) *points to Hikmah’s heart who is sitting besides him as her voice started to change*. I scold them a while only, after that I am okay.
Shahmi: *smiled in acknowledgement*

MasyaAllah! There are many lessons to be learnt from the picture and convo.
