I disagree with myself lol.

May Allaah (s), strengthen all of you in face of your tests, make you better people through them, if he easens them then Alhamdulillaah, if not, then practise beautiful patience, know that your reward is in the Akhirah.

I am a sister and i always thought before this thread that the brothers where always distracted with looking at the non muslim women more than the practising ones but i guess its opposite here mashallah May Allah protect you and give you a pious wife Ameen

Where i live muslim boys go out with non muslim girls and then settle down with a muslim sister its sad really the girls are not looked our for or respected much like that subhanallah it annoys me because its like the sister is trapped by a unfaithful person :girl3:

Asalamu alaykum sister do not worry. Did Allah not promise:

Women impure are for men impure, and men impure for women impure, and women of purity are for men of purity, and men of purity are for women of purity – Surah Al-Nur (24:26)

well the culture , i hate anything that is not according to islamic values and shoved in the throat,,,
then from where i see it,,i think marriage has been on purpose made a huge huge spending festival ,way to unnecessary stuff
like on average the minimum you spend half million rupess ,,,which I think is absolute waste of money ,and that to depends on what gender is getting married . so spending is differrent from both ends ,
well i think is totally stupid ,just a simple hilal thing has been made so horrendously difficult that people tend to go the haram way,,,,,well the thing is simple ,
if when the water level rises in dam ,either you open the gate , ( i guess they are called spill ways ) or the dam will burst the walls or find another way.

and for me this is the one of the major hurdle being faced by the Ummah ( there have been many thread on this here before and marriage stands out to be the problem ) and it is a weak link and easy way for shaitan to knock you down.

well the only thing is that we have forgotten what our Beloved Messenger Muhammad ( saw) said in this regard,

assalamu aleykum to everyone, joined today on strict instructions from my hubby lol...,he loves this site.

subhanallah sometimes i too ponder at the tests im going through but then i remember saying which goes.' allah tests those whom he loves', when i get tested and i feel so down about it i remember the saying and then i say allhamdulilah. and allhamdulilah i feel very privlidged to be chosen to be tested. *my test would have to be death of your children*very hard test to cope with but with excellant reward as my little one will be waiting for me in the gates of jannah inshallah.
to 'meer suhail', i hated culture too and still do, its the fact that people lack knowledge about islam, inshallah i hope you meet a pious and most god fearing muslimah.
fiamanillah everybody and wassalm.

Wa'alaykum asalaam. Currently, my test is laziness and excessive laughter or jokes, acting childish and being immature. I think it's high time I start growing up and acting like an adult. Also, I waste a lot of valuable time in which I can make use of.

Btw, bit off topic but I'd just like to say tti and other islamic websites have helped me a lot in becoming a better Muslim. Before, I hardly used to visit this site but lately I've been coming on everyday, as I find it gives me the boost to better myself and I learn new stuff everyday. As you all know, the ummah is divided into so many different groups or sects and Alhamdulillaah tti is upon the correct understanding of Islam and the saved sect, that is we InshaAllaah follow the Qur'aan and the Sunnah with the understanding of the salaf. Before I didn't know this so, alhamdulillaah I found tti because today I would of been very confused and may of followed other deviated groups. Allaah bless you all!!!

But there is nothing to complain. even if man has everything he wants he still wont be happy.
Although i wish i could just leave all the worldly responsibilities and go to some deserted place to worship Allah in peace all my life or to do jihad.

الحمدلله على كل حال
Assalamualaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh,

My biggest, greatest, hardest test is MYSELF. My Own Self. To fight against my bad, evil desires. Sometimes I feel like there is two side within myself :- the good and bad side which is ALWAYS in a "fight" to take over me. People doesn't give much influence to me, so its always about myself.

"A goodness is not when you have done a good deed, rather it is when you succeed in refraining yourself from doing an evil deed."

Not a single person in this world knows what I'm going through because I'm the type who always keep things to myself. But of course, Allaah, The Al-Mighty, The All-Knower knows EVERY single thing in this world.

I once felt peace in this life. A bliss, undescribable,precious peace felt within the deepest heart. This world is NOTHING compared to what I once felt. But Ya Allaah, me, being the weakest slave, have lost that peace. I lost it and since then, have been searching for it again. And indeed, it is sooo true that after every hardship, there is easiness. And it was after I was being tested, I gain that BLISS PEACE.

All this while, what kept me "alive" in this world is my faith. My imann may go up and down at times, but SubhanaAllaah, Allaah The Most Gracious still "look after me" in spite of my mistakes. I do know that I gain strengths, inner strengths from my faith. That once I have the strengths to face the tests in this world, InshaAllaahu Taa'la, NOTHING can ever stop me from "working" for Islam.

Being among the pious, good Muslims does help. Help in a sense that we feel lower than them, that they are way better than us. In some ways, it make us feel that we want to be good like them too. We want to be among the good, best as well.

Since it is the heart, our heart which is view by Allaah, I'm always struggling to keep it chaste, pure and clean. I'm not sure if that's the phase people go through but I always miss my old-self. Not that I want to remain being a child, a girl, but I miss the part when I haven't yet know that this world is bad in one side, that there are many evil things out there and that if one doesn't hold strongly to the rope of Allaah, he will be drown in this World full of fitna.

It does give me strengths when reminding myself of the great women ever lived in this world. Umm Al-Mukmineen Khadija radiyallahu anha, Mother Maryam radiyallahu anha and Asiah wife of Pharoah. MashaAllaah. How far am I compared to them?

And yeah, there were many times I feel like going to a faraway place, a peaceful isolated place where I can cry and worship Allaah alone.



Please forgive my rambling and whinning. I do tend to write excessively once I start to write.

I pray to Allaah that May we ALL die as shaheed/shaheedah, die in Islam and Imaan, gain the good endings in our life, and be gather again on The Day of Judgment and be given Our Book of Deeds with our right hand.

Aminn Aminn Aminn Ya Rabb Al-Alameen.

I can't decide just one. As living alone convert unmarried woman with bad economy not satisfied with my studies and not feeling like something good will happen for a long time it's many things that I struggle with. I feel depressed often because of it but alhamdolillah.
