Today we’re going to discuss an important part of Islam, which is the topic of trials and tests. There’s a lot of things that we can talk about when it comes to this subject, but let’s focus on two basic questions: why does Allah test us & what should our attitude be when facing a test from Allah? Why does Allah test us? “It is He who created death and life to test which of you are best in deeds, for He is the Almighty, the Forgiving.” (Qur’an 67:2) Many religions preach that trials and tests are always sent as punishment from God. They claim that if you are afflicted with a hardship, su ..read more

When people from around are dying to survive, I’m eagerly searching ways and waiting whether when will I die! Don’t want to talk anymore about my useless life, Because I’m confused and completely broken to strife! May not have been so much better, If I get caught up with this fetter! A feel of badly engaged devastated mood, Warning my soul within to burn out in wood! Can’t believe that it’s a great brutal loss, As it’s not an issue though there was no cause! Never ever dreamt even once in my life of those betrayal thing, Maybe I believed blindly and trusted even my thoughts swing! Can’t predic ..read more

Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem. One of the most fundamental pillars for Muslims is the concept of Tawakkul, which is often defined as trust and reliance in Allah. However, many people misunderstand the concept of Tawakkul. They see Tawakkul as a passive, verbal characteristic which simply involves supplicating to Allah for what we want. However, there’s an incident from Prophet Muhammad’s (PBUH) life that shows a clear perspective on Tawakkul. One day the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) noticed a ‘bedouin’ (desert Arab) leaving his camel without tying it, and he asked the man, “Why don’t you tie down y ..read more

For those who believe in the existence of the unseen, and perform the prayers, and spend out of what We have provided for them (Quran 2:3) Allah (SWT) created us within a “gradient of wealth” like finances, material elements, health, appearance, intelligence to learn and the ability to master different skills. In this Quranic verse, Allah (SWT) asks believers to share part of the wealth He provided them with the less fortunate (muʿāmalāt). In this perspective, the Arabic word Zakat means to self-purify our soul. From this definition, this compulsory charity of money (Zakat Al mal) is the int ..read more

Aren’t I doing a mistake intentionally, By living my life as if I were to live eternally, When death would take place eventually? Indeed, I am doing a mistake intentionally, By deceiving myself mentally and spiritually, When death is a part of reality. How foolish can I be, For not accepting death as a part of actuality?
