TECHNOLOGY WORLD

Challenge yourself each day to fully concentrate on your prayers. Throw worldly distractions out. Focus on Him & give Him what He deserves! Don't try to justify your sin by comparing it to the sin of others. It won't make you feel better. What we really need is His forgiveness. This dunya is not a resting place. You need to strive hard and collect as many good deeds as you can. You can rest in Jannah as much as you want. After all, why would you run behind something temporary when there's something permanent and everlasting waiting for you. Be soft, do not let the world make you hard. Do not let pain make you hate. Do not let bitterness steal your sweetness. Fish hooks provide free worms and mouse traps provide free cheese. Be careful of the dunya and its temptations.

When you truly want the best for people, you'll realize that Allah will start giving you the best too. Allah sees your good intentions. Be soft, do not let the world make you hard. Do not let pain make you hate. Do not let bitterness steal your sweetness. When your goal in life is to please Allah, what others think or say about you doesn't matter. Fear Allah at all times, especially when you're alone. We can hide from people but we can't hide anything from the Al-Baseer, the All-Seeing! Do good because you want to; because it's from your heart. Don't wait for people's compliments to motivate you. That leads to insincerity.

One of Allah’s greatest blessing is when He puts us in situations that bring us to closer to Him. There are times when people make dua and wonder why Allah "hasn't answered" their duas yet. Well, this story right here is proof that duas are answered. The question you need to ask yourself is how determined, strong and fervent were your pleas to Allah? Did you make dua in sujood? Did you wake up for tahajjud? Did you beg, cry and plead in front of Allah while making your dua? Did you ask with yaqeen-certainty-that Allah will respond to your duas...or were they half hearted and robotic? Your dua is only as strong as you use it.

Some 70,000 thoughts fill our heads daily. Both good & bad. You need to choose. Anger, hatred, jealousy or positive & peaceful. Be careful! Why worry when have Allah with you?! He is there for you all the time, He is your constant companion, He knows what you're going through, He knows those feelings you’ve struggled so hard to put to words, He understands your tears when everyone else is wondering what the matter is, He knows the constriction in your heart, the uneasiness in your soul and He can bring you out of it and make things easy, but only if you seek His help and trust Him! Unfortunately, man is too busy looking at closed doors rather than focusing on the ones that are wide open. You can talk to Allah about ANYTHING, He's listening. Ya Allah! Have mercy on our weak souls. We claim to love you so much, but we disobey you so often. Ya Rahman, do not punish us for our actions. We are weak and forgetful.
