PODTHOUGHT: USE YOUR MEANS

I had a thought which I wanted to share. Unfortunately, some muslims have adopted a weak characteristic which only hinders them from improving for the better. Namely, they often compare their situation and circumstances to others who are facing easier circumstances and use this as an excuse not to increase their obedience to Allah, theContinue reading “PODTHOUGHT: USE YOUR MEANS”

PODTHOUGHT: MAKE PROBLEMS SMALL

I had a thought which I wanted to share. I was pondering over the great tests and difficulties the righteous predecessors faced during their lives and how they overcame them through patience and sincere obedience to Allah, the Exalted. One of the ways of achieving this is by always comparing one’s difficulty to harder, andContinue reading “PODTHOUGHT: MAKE PROBLEMS SMALL”

PODTHOUGHT: DEPENDENCY

I had a thought which I wanted to share. It is quite common for people to become dependent on others, such as their family. Even though, having hope in people is not a sin but as they are imperfect a muslim always runs the risk of being let down, in fact it is inevitable. TheyContinue reading “PODTHOUGHT: DEPENDENCY”

PODTHOUGHT: HELPING OTHERS

I had a thought which I wanted to share. Since the passing of the righteous predecessors the strength of the Muslim nation has weakened dramatically. It is logical that the greater the number of people in a group the stronger the group will become yet Muslims have somehow defied this logic. The strength of theContinue reading “PODTHOUGHT: HELPING OTHERS”

PODTHOUGHT: FEAR OF LOSING

I had a thought which I wanted to share. It is part of normal behaviour to fear losing one’s possessions. In fact, generally speaking the more one possesses the more they will fear losing them and the less they possess the less they will fear. This is just like the person who goes out inContinue reading “PODTHOUGHT: FEAR OF LOSING”

PODTHOUGHT: COMPANY OF THE GREATS

I had a thought which I wanted to share. I was pondering over the fact that every muslim openly declares that they desire the companionship of the Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, the other Holy Prophets, peace be upon him them, and the Companions, may Allah be pleased with them, inContinue reading “PODTHOUGHT: COMPANY OF THE GREATS”

PODTHOUGHT: TIES THAT BIND

I had a thought which I wanted to share. I was pondering over a mentality which many people especially, Asians possess. It is the extreme need in forcing people such as relatives to remain physically together. Even though, it is not an evil intention yet, in this day and age it often leads to moreContinue reading “PODTHOUGHT: TIES THAT BIND”

PODTHOUGHT: BEING ON GUARD

I had a thought which I wanted to share. It is important to understand that no matter how much religious knowledge one obtains or how much worship and righteous deeds they perform they will never be safe from the attacks and traps of the Devil. This is because the Devil attacks each person according toContinue reading “PODTHOUGHT: BEING ON GUARD”

PODTHOUGHT: BUILDING TRUST IN ALLAH, THE EXALTED

I had a thought which I wanted to share. Muslims often question how they can build up and strengthen their trust in Allah, the Exalted, especially during difficulties. One of the main ways of doing this is through the obedience of Allah, the Exalted, by fulfilling His commands, refraining from His prohibitions and by facingContinue reading “PODTHOUGHT: BUILDING TRUST IN ALLAH, THE EXALTED”

PODTHOUGHT: BEGINNING AND END

I had a thought which I wanted to share. The Holy Quran begins with praising Allah, the Exalted, and this praise is recited at the beginning of the prayer as well. Chapter 1 Al Fatihah, verse 2: “[All] praise is [due] to Allah, Lord of the worlds.” In addition, according to the Holy Quran theContinue reading “PODTHOUGHT: BEGINNING AND END”
