Why isn't allah helping Palestinians?
He is helping the Palestinians, with for us naked eye to see (in terms of giving them children (during the war their where more children born than people have died) for example) and not for the naked eye to see (esp by non believers) (in terms of help from angels i.e. that write down good deeds and bad deeds) So Allaah has given them a more bigger army for the nearby future, insha Allaah. Or do you think that a child that has never known his father (because he is killed by the jews) will sit down with them having a peace talk? Strange people are Jews. Thinking only on the short time. We as muslims hope on the long time with sabr. One day your children shall see. And we all shall see on the Day we shall return.
Is it wrong to put too much trust in Allah?
Asalamualikum Warakhamautlahi Wabarakatuhu! Putting trust in Allah (swt) for the matters you have no say in. When you cannot do anything about something, but only and only trust Allah (swt). We know not what He knows. We are not capable of doing things He can. I am going through something really bad, but I cannot do anything about this matter. All I can do is just trust Allah (swt) and ask Him for help. That's all I can do. I have no other option but to leave everything upto Him. Is it wrong to put too much trust in Allah, to leave everything up to Him? Is there such thing as "expecting too much from Allah"? [Astagfirullah If I said something wrong] Please keep me in your duas. JazakAllah khairan. Peace, Masalama.
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!
Is it okay to pray (like dua NOT salah) to Allah during your period? only GIRLS?
insha Allaah it will benefit you, if you are making dua. For dua it isn't neccesary to have wudu, like in the salaah. it is Rahma from Allaah to his slaves, so thank Him. And i was hoping and making dua' today for my period may return, insha Allaah. If you tell men you are in your period, they always have extra sabr or ignore you hehe.. But when there is no blood, try to explain that you are feeling not in your "happy" mood. In case of my husband. He says blame t to the hormones... Something i can't prove. So he thinks sometimes i abuse it... Oww i wished he saw one drop of blood!! I wished that i can hang on the cough and eat chips untill i remember chocolate.. No worries only your body, no husband, father, brother or somebody, all because you can say shhhhhh i am on my period, go away... Say Alhamdulillaah you aren't in your nifas *after childbirth bleeding for 40 days..... For you gonna ask, it is now some 10 months after nifas for me; so totally 19 months no period.... please read the following:
Ramadan: How do you obtain sabr(patience)?
You obtain patience by knowing that things are bound to happened and that life is trial for every single one of us. If you fall, make sure you stand up just as soon as you fall... because after every fall comes the chance for you to make up for your failures. When we are born, we are born with trials, chances and consciousness.. those three are what contribute in making us who and what we are in the present and the future. Motivation, understanding, hope, faith, virtues... all those are ways for us to rise again.
What is the punishment for breaking family ties? Please help!?
I have two cousins who live in the US. They live in Illinois while we live in New York. Real simple : They don't meet with us. Why? I have no idea. I dn't have much family in the US, just those two cousins and two other ones who live in Atlanta, but they are from my mothers side. They just don't like us. It's ironic because, I have all boys in my family, and the only girl cousin I have, doesn't meet with us. My mum says it's a status thing. They apparently are very well off (my uncle was a professor at Harvard and now teaches at University of Chicago) and we, on the other hand are not. My father and my uncle are blood brothers.. blood related. Yet they don't meet. The last time I called was 6 years ago. My mom says they're ashamed to meet us because we're not at "their level." She says that my aunt, who was married into the family, just doesn't like us. Doesn't think we're at par with them...pshh I've been going through a very rough patch in my life recently. I cry almost everyday and it's been a dark time. And one of the reasons is because, I .. I love my cousins. I love them so much. And i care. I'm always the one who does. I called 6 years ago, and you know what my aunt said. She said, "Sabrina doesn't have any cousins." I had to CONVINCE her that I was her cousin. Why this outburst? recently I spotted my older cousin on facebook. He's in college now, and he looks happy, he looks like he's moved on. I should be angry I am. But more than that I'm sad. Depressed actually. I've never met my cousins. never seen em. I'm sad. That we never got to meet. And I'm miserable. My life is soo bad right now. I pray regularly, but nothins been getting better. Why can't I ignore them? It really hurts me that they don't care. Really hurts me. I'm just not that kind of person. I've always been the black sheep ineverything. At school. At the masjid. I spend most of my Eid's doing hw. I.. I just wish that for once, I could fit in ith my family. Simply put, I'd like to know the Islamic solution. I want to keep my families dignity, and so if they don't want to be associated with us, I won't force them. But, inside, deep in my heart, once you get passed all the anger, I hope every day that they might call. That we might reconcile. What is the Islamic solution to this? And what is the punishment for breaking family ties?
