Are you being hammered with test after test after test lately? Remembering this list of things helps me during challenging times. May Allah allow it to help you too (Ameen):

- The Prophets were tested severely. Don't be disheartened and automatically assume that Allah is displeased with you. In fact, it could very well be the total opposite. Allah tests those whom He loves.

- Someone once told me that a test becomes like a punishment if it ta...See more

'If you want something badly, but you’re not making tahajjud… you don’t want it badly enough.'

I came across this statement about six months after reverting. I had never heard of tahajjud before, so I thought, 'Oh okay, well I guess I need to start doing that.'

But then I learned that tahajjud isn’t something you just decide to do, it’s a prayer you’re invited to.

I remember saying out loud, 'I would love to be invited to tahajjud.' I even wro...See more

Where’s my money? he yelled.

'And He found you poor, and made you self-sufficient.' (93:8)

One evening, I heard my friends telling each other that they were going to do this and that because it would be Eid ul Fitr tomorrow. I was with them, and together we decided to have a lot of fun the next day. In those days, even knowing that Eid would be celebrated after a month or so used to make us very happy. Now you can imagine how overwhelmed w...See more

I was desperate. I knew I needed help. But I do not know who to consult. Nor who to confide. Then it dawned to me, to give Islam a chance. All I asked Allah SWT, was to remove my pain, to remove my sadness. Day by day, I was getting thinner. My mental health is comprised, but he blessed me with so much things I could never think of. I thought I was beyond saving, that here was no chance for me. Ya Rabbi, for when I was weak, you became my strengt...See more

Some days you'll feel like a deflated balloon. Like all energy and motivation has been sapped out of you. You want to hide away and avoid life. We've all been there.

But hopelessness has never been an option for the believer, and it's not an option for you. This doesn't mean you have to put on an act and pretend to be the happiest person in the world. This doesn't mean you're not allowed to feel sad. But it does mean that you have to reach deep...See more

In the Name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Especially Merciful,

And what is the greatest loss of all?

And the greatest sadness of life is that you didn’t recognise His love upon you, you didn’t contemplate His blessings and that all the affairs which you encountered were to make you come closer and closer to Him.

That you did not humble yourself in gratitude and nor did you look back and contemplate how He saved you from disaster over disa...See more

When you're feeling sad, maybe because other people are not understanding you, you might automatically start remembering someone who has been very understanding and compassionate with you, especially in a difficult time. And that person will stay close to your heart forever.

But here in Surah Ad-Dhuha, we and the Messenger of Allah (AS) are being told who it is that we should remember the most: it is Allah SWT, the One who is closer to us than ...See more

Maa Shaa' Allaah
As I read this, I was reminded of a time (long ago) when one of my earliest teachers was leading us in Salaah. He read, with great emotion, the following verses:

The emotion was plainly visible in his voice; it brought tears to my eyes - even though I didn't know what it said. He later explained and it moved me even more.
Allaah is consoling the Prophet (His blessings and peace be upon him); affirming for him His protection and...See more

The amazing structure of Surah Al-Dhuha (The Morning Brightness)

Allah reminds His Messenger of three favors and commands him three corresponding patterns of behavior in return:

First: أَلَمْ يَجِدْكَ يَتِيمًا فَآوَىٰ ‎﴿٦﴾ 'Did He not find you an orphan and give [you] refuge?' (6)
Therefore, فَأَمَّا الْيَتِيمَ فَلَا تَقْهَرْ ‎﴿٩﴾ 'So as for the orphan, do not oppress.'(9)

Second: وَوَجَدَكَ ضَالًّا فَهَدَىٰ ‎﴿٧﴾ 'Did He not find you astray, ...See more

There’s a saying I heard a lot growing up about someone who had hit rock bottom. Instead, they were described as being 'between a rock and a hard place.'

To our brothers and sisters in Gaza:

By the late morning, when your scars and pain are visible for all to see.
By the night, as it covers your tears, its stillness giving you the space to break down.

Here you are, at rock bottom.
Amongst the rubble.
Between a rock and a hard place.
Wondering ...See more
