Entangled between this Life and Reality

I feel like I'm too entangled between this life and reality that I'm unable to accept every change that society wants to plant into me. Maybe I couldn't adapt like people did. I see people moving forward by compromising on many natural things, but it's always hard for me to do that. I stick to my idea and standard, I'm kind of a stubborn person in many cases. I know I have lost a big deal, I have made very big compromises. But I want to undone all that to get my real and reformed self back. I used to feel more compassion for others, but today, I don’t have the same energy, either I'm too hurt and disappointed that I'm not playing any good part in helping others, or I'm simply going astray. It's hard to confirm my track or route.

I remember Prophet Muhammad's (S.A.W.) statement in which he asked us to hold Quran and Sunnah tightly after him to save ourselves from getting misguided. I feel Quran has something alike too. Allah says in Quran that hold tight the rope of Allah and do not add disunity in it. But people have not held it tight. So, they all are going astray. They don't know the big storm that surrounds them. It's like a rope tied to a destiny intact, a sand and foggy storm is all around, no one can see anything, so the only way to reach the destination and safe haven is by holding the rope and following it to the end. The world is the same arena, there's evil and so many things which make us go astray. The only way to safeguard our path is through the power of Quran and Sunnah.

Hijab doesn't define the righteousnes

I believe that hijab doesn't define the righteousness, purity or Taqwa of someone. I believe that many women who don't wear hijab are more close to Allah and are more pious than many those who wear hijab. I used to enforce people into wearing hijab and covering their bodies, I still do that but not with that intensity. But then I felt that change is not a normal thing for a human, there are many things in Islam which took me a long time to follow, there are many things asked by Islam but I am not able to follow them. I understand now that embracing the change in the adulthood is very difficult, unless you have some great spiritual energy and a constant motivation, still we should keep struggling.

But this doesn't mean that I encourage anyone to not wear hijab, I actually admire those women who sacrifice fashion and modernity for their Lord, I am a great spiritual fan of them. But I ask society to inspire people instead of judging them. Criticism is not always a friendly preacher. We should first judge ourselves and then think of a way to aspire others. Encourage the good, discourage the bad. May Allah guide us all, not just others, but me too. Peace!

Save money in 3 ways! #ReligionThoughts

We can save money by three ways: by investing in a profitable business, by not using the extra money, and by spending on others (Karma). Whatever you spend on others it will reach you with profit one day, what goes around comes around, whenever you help someone God will help you. It doesn't just give you Ajjar but it also becomes a future investment and saving.

There is no difference between a poor and a rich

We should live in a society where status doesn't matter, where people are known and appreciated by their personalities and generosity rather than by how much they earn or possess in real life. Today if someone works in a shop or hospital to support his/her educational expenses or family then it shouldn't be considered bad or wrong, that person should not be made to feel less than a person who doesn't earn because of his/her parents' earning. If you have someone earning for you then remember that not everyone has a father like yours, some of them have to earn for themselves by working as a salesman and receptionist, they're not less than you, society should stop giving them an inferiority order. This thing really annoys me a lot, why can't we all keep our hearts clean and let everyone else live in peace? They struggle, they work, are they not better than us, are they not more strong? What if we are forced to work like them for just a little money? Don't mock them or their situation, tables can turn anytime. Fear Allah!

To say the unsaid, by Ahmed Mac

I have to say a lot of things but I can't put everything in words, my heart speaks more than my tongue, I want to do better than all, I want to do the impossible, but there are infinite barriers in my way, the world isn't a place to enjoy or live in peace, life is full of worries. I don't know how can I say what I mean to say, people are suffering and I'm just living my life, I can't actually do anything for them.

I feel some of their pain, I wish I could take their all pain away, I wish I could stop the injustice of all kinds, I wish I could have the power to stop every bad thing from happening, inhumanity is on its peak. Every human is a brother/sister to the other human, everyone should live in harmony. I don't know if I can convey this message to the world, I don't know if I'll achieve what I want. Preaching people is some other thing, in it it's upto them to pay heed or stay the same, but fighting injustice is something else, in it good people who don't hurt others get violated in inhumane ways, even the thinking of it breaks my heart, such pain exists too. Tauba Astagfar-Astagfirullah!

I wish I could make bad people and barbaric actions an example by punishing them in a terrible way that the whole would observe till the end of this world. There's always someone being hurt, why does no one feel their pain? They're your brothers and sisters, they're humans of your kind, don't you feel the need to do something? Your army is on your payroll, your country runs on your tax money, you still think that you can't do anything? You can! You only just don't want to leave your comfort zone, you are not a human. Are you? You're afraid of taking a step, you want to follow and don't want to be followed, and when there's no one good to follow you can't stand up for the right!

I don't think that it's needed to state the verses of Quran where Allah asked the believers to fight against the unjust things and stand for the people who are crying for help day and night. You don't yet know the pain. Financial, emotional and physical losses are just nothing as compared to rape, physical violence and murder. You can't feel the pain, you're not a victim, you don't know how they feel. If I could have just one wish come true, I would wish for justice for all mankind. I wish I could do something for the poor sisters who had to go through such moments. I actually hate this world, if I could give my life so that they may not suffer then I would certainly do that. I'm getting infinite reasons of not wishing for a daughter and wife, the world is so cruel, I don't have much strength and power to fight the evil, I'm just one alone person who wish to see others in joy and live in peace.

I believe in justice on the day of resurrection (Akhrat) by Allah. But I can't stand still and say nothing about what evil is being done to others, it's not what my religion allow me to do, my religion is a light of humanity. People are sleeping, blinded by luxuries, fooled by society. The feeling that I can't do anything about it makes me feel helpless, it kills me from inside every second of my life, it's humanity. If you have been a victim then my brother/sister I want to let you know that I'd do anything for you if I could or would be there, I would break every national law and wouldn't hesitate to kill the oppressors with my own bare hands no matter the worldly consequences, I don't care about democracy or leadership, if I get the chance for doing the right, I won't care for anything but the truth. A person once told me that you can't turn the button of "humanity" off, she was right on that, I had switched off the button for about two months, but now it's restarted. May Allah save everyone, ameen.

Are women allowed to be liberal in Islam?

I'm not against the working and earning of women, I'm not against their right to go outside alone. The real thing is that a man is afraid to tell or show, it's something not everyone can understand, that we fear. I don't fear women or that if they get to be independent then they will become superior than me, I don't care about that. I fear society, I fear that they will lose the culture completely when they'll start thinking like no one has a right to tell them what to do, the same thing happened in the west, and now we all can see what's the respect of a woman in there. And this is not all, I think women deserve respect, actually every good soul does, I think that it's not their duty to earn for the family, it's onto men actually, that's why I would never want my spouse to work for me, I would want to work myself and provide her everything at her disposal. Most of the people reading this won't be able to understand my point, but actually many men think alike me, that's why they oppose women from earning, it's probably not in a man's nature to express his feelings, specially those related to fear, but they show care even when no one understands it.

The most important cause of why I don't want women to work or earn and why I fear society is because it's full of filth and dirt, I would never want her to be hurt by someone, I know men, I know many wrong things happen outside, no father takes a risk for his child no matter how skillful or strong the child is, it doesn't mean that he doesn't trust his child, it means that a father doesn't trust the circumstances, the world. Women are precious, they need to be dealt in care and with love, there are bad factors in this deluded world, that's the reason why I would never want a woman to work. I wish I could explain myself further on this. You can't argue and settle down with an immature mind, so it's better sometimes to force them to do it while you know of their betterment in it, they may learn it with time, even if they don't, even if they hate you, Allah knows your intentions. I am not sure about other men, but I care for your Akhirah, I feel it as my duty to warn and inform you, of course I don't have an authority over you, thus I can't force you, the final decision is yours. But whatever you intend to do, think before acting!

Tactics of west against Islam

West, you have won. On one side, there are Muslims, or some people who call themselves Muslim, fighting against their own religion and culture, hating each other with great strength. And on the other side, there are Non-Muslim countries, even some Muslim countries, killing innocent Muslim civilians all over the globe. No one is raising a voice, no one said anything. But when some blast occurs in USA, France, UK etc, then the world gathers together to console them, even the Muslim-hood. I must say, they have won, their strategy was amazing, our existence is endangered. They're wiping us out one by one, but we are busy in joining rallies as feminists, we are busy to fight for something that some people call as our rights, I'm not sure if someone could get rights while facing injustice. They're stalling us into these matters and we are acting as their little cute puppets, doing as we're told. I hope this post will be one of those messages you ignore.

What is fate?

Allah has had planned everything since the start, fate has been written already. But to show us, give us a choice in life, He has given us time to see and know what we do, so we become a witness to our own actions. It doesn't mean that we can't chose to be a better person in our lives because the fate is written, it means that Allah knows whatever we're going to do, He knows everything, so He could decide whether we deserve Jannah (heaven) or Jahanum (hell) on that basis, but He gave us time to see and follow our actions, so we may not be able to say on the day of Qayamat (day of resurrection/justice) that we didn't perform these actions. May Allah guide us all, and may He forgive me if I spreaded some miscalculated information on the base of my thinking and observations, indeed Wallahu Alam!
