Having Faith In Allah


As salam alekum wa ruhmutallahi wa barakatu

No one has faith in Allah anymore man, and its saddening. The creator of the universe and we can't cut him some slack? Just cause we don't have our prayers answered instantly, or at all we think hes not listening. But has it occured to us that maybe our Lord has something else planned? Allah says if he doesn't answer your du'ah then he will replace what you asked for with something better than it, in Jenna or now. Seriously Muslims need more sabr.

My mother had a dispute a while back about the car. She was CONVINCED she was going to crash it or the brakes where going to go out because of "hasood" (the evil eye). Now I agre the person she was talking about does have an envious gaze. But seriously is his "power" greater than that of Allah? For two weeks we fought about why she should just get in the car and have ome faith in her Lord. I tried to explain to her that these things don't affect believers unless they don't do their du'ahs, and masha'Allah she does do all her du'ahs, but somethings missing in her equation. YOU HAVE TO HAVE FAITH! You gotta believe that Allah is gonna back you up! Or else He's not gonna bother. If He does it is from His and if not it is from His hikim(wisdom). You need to have faith guys. Just make du'ah. We can't forget the words of Allah. Surah Al Falaq is a surah we recite all the time, in salat or before bed etc. But do we even listen to the message anymore? 

قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ الْفَلَق
 Say: "I seek refuge with (Allah) the Lord of the daybreak, 

مِن شَرِّ مَا خَلَقَ
 "From the evil of what He has created; 

وَمِن شَرِّ غَاسِقٍ إِذَا وَقَبَ
"And from the evil of the darkening (night) as it comes with its darkness; (or the moon as it sets or goes away). 

وَمِن شَرِّ النَّفَّاثَاتِ فِي الْعُقَدِ
 "And from the evil of the witchcrafts when they blow in the knots, 

وَمِن شَرِّ حَاسِدٍ إِذَا حَسَدَ
 "And from the evil of the envier when he envies."

Ameeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeen

Yah Allah do we need anymore proof? Allahs words always speak for themselves :)

So guys when you are down in the dumbs and it doesn't seem like He's answering, remember He was listening and insha'Allah you will get your reward. Ameen. Always have faith and insha'Allah you have nothing to worry about in this world and in the next. Ameen.

I recited these verses for my mom and she thought about it for a while. Got into the car,and it was fine hehe.

Ameen.
Yes muslims do need more sabr. SubhanAllaah we just tend to think negatively, and focus on the negative. And Alhamdulillaah, there are many good things that we should be concious and thankful for that we just tend to ignore, and we don't look at how fortunate most of us are.
JazakAllaahu khair

I have faith, and I know when it really matters Allah has been there for me time and time again. That being said, I could see how people could lose their faith, this world is an evil evil place, when you look around and see countries and countries of starving people, or war torn places that just keep getting blown up it's hard to understand why all of this is happening, what the reason for it is? And if people can't make sense out something like poverty, rape, war, and see a logical reason as to why God would allow these things to happen, than it's hard to have faith. I'm just saying, I can understand why someone would lose their faith in this world. I haven't had the greatest life, many, many struggles, but Ahhamdala God has been there for me, helping me and guiding me through it all. I can just see how a starving kid laying in ditch would lose faith, or our brothers and sisters caught in Palestine. I hope that they stay strong and I will pray for their faith to stay strong and for things to get better.

Ahaha, and spot on about mom, her car is busted now and if said person was around you know she'd be blaming him 100% for this too! When really she just NEEDS a new car!

lol yeah @ car
sigh
haha
I dont think we can feel sorry at allfor those starving people. Allah has purified their souls through their struggles and inshAllah they will enter Jenna even before we do. Aslo being born into a 3rd world country takes you away from the fitna we have to deal with everyday, and makes them exempt from alot of respondsibilities. we should be happy for them because Allah will reward them with th ultimate best according to their situation.

That's great for the afterlife, but for now they are suffering more than me or you can even imagine, so yes I do feel bad. Don't you feel bad for what the Palestinians have to go through everyday?

of course
but yet still a tad bit envious
They inshAllah will be of the highest in paradise
