Why tawassul is necessary, when we can directly ask Allah to help us?
Shi'e Muslim thanks for the daleel about tawassul, but that hasn't answered my question about the importance of tawassul. and... What's wrong with people who never does tawassul?
Converts/Reverts to Islam what has been some of your difficulties as a Muslim?
In The Name Of Allah, The Most Beneficent, The Most Merciful. As-Salam Alykom Okhti fel Islam (Sister in Islam) =) First of all, please excuse me i do not me to be rude because i am NOT a convert but i just could not skip without saying anything, so i hope that this is not a problem. Well, So Al Hamdo Lillah at the beginning for blessing you with Islam, indeed this is a very great thing and a very great blessing from Allah =) I do understand your situation and i do feel you and that's why i want to remind you that you must NOT feel so sad sister as you have got one who cares for you and truly loves you better than anyone. You have got Allah to watch over you and guard you. If it was not for Allah, you would not have reached this point at all. So i want you to hold firmly with the rope of Allah, and never leave it. Keep on getting closer to Him, as He has got closer to you. And yes, you can raise your hands and ask Allah for anything, ask Him to bless you with a good friend who will help you to stay on the straight path and not to go astray. Ask Him to guide your family and all you neighbor hood. Yeah wallahi i mean what i said. Raise your hands and pray for Him and be sure that Allah -The Glorious and The Almighty- hears and answers all the calls and all what you will ask from Him. Being around non-Muslims means that you have got a bigger chance to do Dawah, and call them to Islam, to the truth. You can have the chance to speak with them about Islam and about Allah (GOD) and in shaa Allah, Allah will make you a cause for their guidance. About your sisters. NO do NOT wait till they get older or anything. You said that they do practice Islam, then tell them to utter the Shahada and NOT wait till another time. What if Allah did NOT write for them to live longer as you expected ??? Do NOT wait and help them to utter the Shahada sister =) That's all, i hope this helps a little =) As-Salam Alykom =)
Why is Allah testing me so much? Why are bad people getting everything in life while I have to keep being patient? Why am I so lonely?
On the authority of Abu Huraira, who narrated: Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said, “Look upon one who is below you in status. In this way you will not look down upon the grace of that God bestowed upon you.” (Bukhari and Muslim)In order to feel true happiness, it's essential to be grateful to God. And you cannot show gratitude if you continue to look up to people who have been given more worldly benefits than you.This attitude will keep you annoyed all your life no matter how much you achieve because there will always be someone on a higher level than you.So, when you feel deprived of a particular material asset, think of those who don't even have functional hands or legs. Out there, there are hundreds of people who don't have a proper home, and constantly live under fear. The world is full of people who cannot walk or eat by themselves and depend on others for their daily activites.There are still some beings who have everything, yet have a mountain of guilt in their hearts which doesn't let them sleep peacefully.So realise the value of all things that Allah has blessed you with, like your perfect eyesight, your loving parents, your jacket that protects you against the chilly winter breeze, and your next breath in which you can turn to Allah, and say “Alhamdulillah” (Thanks to Allah).As to your question of why you’re being tested a lot, the following hadith may well be the answer to it:Abu Huraira reported: Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said, “If Allah intends good for someone, then He afflicts him with trials.” (Sahih Bukhari:5321)If having patience is still hard for you, shift your perspective for sometime from “what is absent” to “what is present”, and you will find that there are so many things already to be thankful for.Hope this helps you!
It's supposed to be Ramadan but I don't feel it?
Salam you shouldn't come here and ask us in the first place, you should first ask to Allah directly. it is between you and Him. Only Allah can guide you to Islam and help you as it says in the Qur'an multiple times, not us humans. but my advice to you would be read the Qur'an and pray salah on time (when it begins). edit: from what I've understood no it doesnt break your fast Inshallah Allah will guide us
