whispers of shaitan

we seek refuge from shaitan the cursed one and what he knows best that is whispering .
whispering in the Quran is known as waswas this word means a continuous repeated act of an obsessed thing so we see that whispering is a continuous process that is referred to shaitan so we see that this cursed creature one of his character is to whisper to peoples hearts and he corrupts the hearts by the evil whispers that he puts in our hearts .
The prophet peace be upon him said " there is none of you who has not be allocated a companion from the jinn and the ask eve you ya rasulallah he said yes but me Allah helped me and mine is muslim and leads me to do good (bukhari )
the jinns that we are allocated are evil jinns and this jinn called qareen his work is to make us do evil deeds and if you allow this evil jinn to defeat you with the help of shaitan it will drag you to hell . one will ask this jinn is in us how can we control it how are we able to defeat this jinn well Allah subhana wataala told shaitan you will not misguide the ones that i have guided may Allah make us among those whom He guides .
we can defeat our qareen by weakeaning him with remembrance of Allah , when we remember Allah subhana wataala He protects us from everything and anything that can harm us Allah subhana wataala teaches us on how to seek protection from shaitan and his forces and that is seen in surah nas

 

1 .say: "I seek Refuge with (Allâh) the Lord of mankind,

2. "The king of mankind,

3. "The Ilâh (God) of mankind,

4. "From the evil of the whisperer (Devil who whispers evil In the hearts of men) who withdraws (from his whispering In one's heart after one remembers Allâh),

5. "Who whispers In the breasts of mankind,

6. "Of jinns and men."

This surah Allah subhana wataala is teaching us to seek refuge from whispers of shaitan , a heart of a human can be pure then shaitan whispers an idea and then the person starts to think about the idea which then grows into a desire and then the desire grows because shaitan puts more fuel by making the person think of the pleasure they will get and then the person wishes to perform the act this wish grows until one makes the urge of putting into action and here what shaitan does he sends forces and then they help that person commit that sin once you have hes satisfied and he leaves but will return , according to me is we are all dumb shaitan has done his part of making us commit that sin but when we continue commiting that sin we are more dumb because we can always repent to Allah subhana wataala and He will surely give us second chance .

if shaitan defeats us with sin we defeat him with repentance to Allah 

O You who believe! turn to Allâh with sincere repentance! it may be that Your Lord will remit from You Your sins, and admit You into Gardens under which rivers flow (Paradise) the Day that Allâh will not disgrace the Prophet (Muhammad Sal-Allaahu 'alayhe Wa Sallam) and those who believe with him, their light will run forward before them and with (their records Books of deeds) In their Right hands they will say: "Our Lord! keep perfect Our light for us [and do not put it off till we cross over the Sirât (a slippery bridge over the Hell) safely] and grant us Forgiveness. Verily, You are Able to do All things."( tahrim 8)

shaitan will not harm those who are in remembrance of Allah subhana wataala , shaitan does have the keys to our hearts its us we choose to allow him to enter and corrupt our hearts but if we fill our hearts with remembrance of Allah then shaitan will not get a chance to corrupt us may Allah the Al Mighty grant us the strength to fight shaitan and make us among those who are grateful to Him AMEEN

Anger or JaNaH

Asalam aleikum warhmatullah wabarakatu

all praise to Allah the Al Mighty none has the right to be worshiped but Him and to Him is our return praises and salutations to our beloved prophet peace be upon him and all those who follow him .

when i saw the above quote i wondered is it wrong to be angry people keep on hurting us and all we are told is forgive them then who is going to do teach them a lesson when will they learn then SubhanAllah i listen to a very inspiring talk about anger how Allah subhana wataala has talked about it in the Quran indeed Quran is guidance to all mankind and we find all the answers in it .

The following ayats are from surah shurah  ( 36;40) explain how Allah tells us about anger 

36. so whatever You have been given is but a passing enjoyment for This worldly life, but that which is with Allâh (Paradise) is better and more lasting for those who believe (in the Oneness of Allâh Islâmic Monotheism) and put their trust In their Lord (concerning All of their affairs). 37. and those who avoid the greater sins, and Al-Fawâhish (illegal sexual intercourse, etc.), and when they are angry, they forgive 38. and those who answer the call of their Lord [i.e. to believe that He is the Only one Lord (Allâh), and to Worship none but Him Alone], and perform As-Salât (Iqâmat-as-Salât), and who (conduct) their affairs by mutual consultation, and who spend of what we have bestowed on them; 39. and those Who, when an oppressive wrong is done to them, they take revenge. 40. the Recompense for an evil is an evil like thereof, but whoever forgives and makes reconciliation, his reward is due from Allâh. Verily, He likes not the Zâlimûn (oppressors, polytheists, and wrong-doers, etc.).

 The first ayat Allah subhanawatala mentions about temporarily of this dunia and that everything is this world will fade even the suffering one goes through and that there is a lasting life of here after . 

then sins are mentioned and good deeds well how does this have to do with anger well if you avoid sin and work for here after then anger will be not in you then Allah mentions anger and He has given permission to revenge but He adds it better to forgive .

this shows us that for those who are seeking rewards from Allah subhana watala and they are not interested in this worldly affairs then when people anger them they forgive them and they only want Allah to reward them .

may Allah make us all among those who love to be rewarded by Him and affairs of this dunia to mean nothing to us Ameen .

human FORGIVENESS

Human Forgiveness in Islam:

Just as it is important to believe in the mercy and forgiveness of Allah, it is also necessary to base human relations on forgiveness. We cannot expect Allah’s forgiveness unless we also forgive those who do wrong to us. Forgiving each other, even forgiving one’s enemies is one of the most important Islamic teaching. In the Qur’an Allah has described the Believers as “those who avoid major sins and acts of indecencies and when they are angry they forgive.” (al-Shura 42:37) Later in the same Surah Allah says, “The reward of the evil is the evil thereof, but whosoever forgives and makes amends, his reward is upon Allah.” (al-Shura 42:40) In another place the Qur’an says, “If you punish, then punish with the like of that wherewith you were afflicted. But if you endure patiently, indeed it is better for the patient. Endure you patiently. Your patience is not except through the help of Allah (al-Nahl 16:126-127)

In one Hadith the Prophet -peace be upon him- said that Allah has commanded him about nine things. One of them he mentioned was “that I forgive those who do wrong to me.”

The Prophet -peace be upon him- was the most forgiving person. He was ever ready to forgive his enemies. When he went to Ta’if to preach the message of Allah, its people mistreated him. They abused him and hit him with stones.  He left the city humiliated and wounded. When he took shelter under a tree, the angel of Allah visited him and told him that Allah sent him to destroy the people of Ta’if because of their sin of mistreating their Prophet. The Prophet -peace be upon him- prayed to Allah to save the people of Taif, because what they did was out of their ignorance. He said, “O Allah, guide these people, because they did not know what they were doing.” When he entered the city of Makkah after the victory, the Prophet -peace be upon him- had in front of him some of his staunchest enemies. Those who fought him for many years, persecuted his followers and killed many of them. Now he had full power to do whatever he wanted to punish them for their crimes. It is reported that the Prophet -peace be upon him- asked them, “What do you think I shall do to you now?” They pleaded for mercy. The Prophet -peace be upon him- said, “Today I shall say to you what Joseph (referring to Prophet Yusuf -peace be upon him- as mentioned in the Qur’an, Yusuf 12:92) said to his brothers, ‘No blame on you today. Go, you are all free.” Soon they all came and accepted Islam at his hands. He forgave even Hind who had caused the murder of his uncle Hamza -may Allah be pleased with him. After killing him she had his body mutilated and chewed his liver. When she accepted Islam, the Prophet even forgave her.

A very striking example of forgiveness we find in the Qur’an in reference to the most unfortunate event of “Slander of Sayyidah A’isha’”. Some hypocrites of Madinah accused her. They tried to put dirt on her noble character. One of the slanderers turned out to be Mistah, the cousin of ‘Aisha’s father Abu Bakr’s. Abu Bakr -may Allah be pleased with him- used to give financial help to this young man. After he slandered his daughter, Abu Bakr vowed not to help him any more. But Allah reminded Abu Bakr and through him all the Believers, “Let not those among you who are endued with grace and amplitude of means resolve by oath against helping their kinsmen, those in want and those who migrated in the path of Allah. Let them forgive and overlook. Do you not wish that Allah should forgive you? Indeed Allah is oft-Forgiving, most Merciful.” (Al-Nur 24:22) Abu Bakr -may Allah be pleased with him- came out of his home and said, “Yes, indeed, I want Allah’s forgiveness. He not only continued to help him but he gave him more.

Another beautiful example is that of Yusuf alayhi salam when his brothers were ate his power and he could have revenged for what they did to him but he dint even narrate the whole experience of jail and suffering that because of their hatred made him go through instead he forgave them and he even helped them .

this all are examples Allah subhana wataala has placed before us so that we can learn from them so that we can be encouraged in what we do and know that Allah is the one who we seek reward from and not humans and when people do us wrong we remind ourselves of the so many wrong things we do and we still want Allah to forgive us so we learn to forgive the way we want Allah subhan wataala to forgive us .

Islam emphasizes justice and punishment of the wrong doers, but it equally strongly emphasizes mercy, kindness and love. Justice, law and order are necessary for the maintenance of a social order, but there is also a need for forgiveness to heal the wounds and to restore good relations between the people. We must keep in mind that as much as we need Allah’s forgiveness for our own sins and mistakes, we must also practice forgiveness towards those who do wrong to us.

we dont learn to forgive alone but we learn to also forget we wouldnt want for Allah to keep reminding us after He forgives us because once He forgives thats it so us humans we should learn to give people chances even after they have done something wrong just know that it pleases Allah when we are kind to His creatures and rely on Allah to strengthen us after we get hurt .

ALLAH 's ForgivEness

Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala has granted intellect to human beings. The intellect entails responsibility. The more intellect a person has the more he/she is responsible. When the intellect is missing, the responsibility is also not there. Little children are not held responsible, because their intellect has not yet developed. The insane are not responsible, because they have lost the intellectual capacity. However, part of our being human is also that we make mistakes. Sometime we make mistakes without deliberation and intention. But sometime we knowingly and deliberately sin and do wrong to others. It is said, “to err is human and to forgive is divine.” Both parts of this statement are very true. As human beings we are responsible, but we do also make mistakes and we are constantly in need of forgiveness. Islam speaks about two aspects of forgiveness: a) Allah’s forgiveness; b) Human forgiveness. We need both, because we do wrong in our relations to Allah as well as in our relations to each other.
 A. Allah’s Forgiveness:

Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala is the most Forgiving. Allah has many names we can use to ask for forgiveness.

Al-Ghafoor: The most Forgiving. This name occurs in the Qur’an more than seventy times. There are other names from the same root, such as Ghafir and Ghaffar. The meaning of the “ghafara” is to cover, to hide and from it comes the meaning “to excuse”, “to pardon”, “to remit” and “to forgive”. Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala does all these things. In the Qur’an, it is mentioned that Allah does not forgive the Shirk (without repentance) but He may forgive every other sin for whomsoever He wills. (al-Nisa’ 4:116) We must turn to Allah to seek His forgiveness.

Al-’Afuw: This has another aspect of forgiveness. This name occurs in the Qur’an five times. Literally the word ‘Afw means “to release” “to heal”, “to restore”, “to remit”. Thus in relation to Allah it means “to release us from the burden of punishment due to our sins and mistakes”, “to restore our honor after we have dishonored ourselves by committing sins and making mistakes.” Sometimes in the Qur’an both names: ‘Afuw and Ghafoor come together.

Al-Tawwab: The Acceptor of repentance. This name of Allah is mentioned in the Qur’an about 11 times. Allah accepts the repentance of those who sincerely repent and turn to him. The word “tawwab” gives the sense of “oft-returning” which means that Allah again and again accepts the repentance. We make sins and mistakes then we repent, He accepts our repentance. Then again we commit sins and make mistakes and when we repent, He again very kindly accept us and gives us another chance.

 The Qur’an teaches that Allah is a Judge and He also punishes, but Allah is not bound to punish. The justice of Allah, according to Qur’an is that Allah does not and will not inflict undue punishment on any person. He will not ignore the good of any person. But if He wishes to forgive any sinner, He has full freedom to do that. His mercy is unlimited and His love is infinite.

 Prophet peace be upon him  taught, “O Allah, You are most Forgiving One, You love to forgive, so forgive me.”(reported by al-Trimidhi and Ibn Majah). We need Allah’s mercy and forgiveness all the time. It is wrong to assume at any time that one will find eternal salvation without the forgiveness of Allah.


its our morale duty to turn to Allah each day and ask for his forgiveness because being human itself needs pardon and Allah has said no one will turn to him in forgiveness but He will forgive them .

SwaBr n ShuKr

life can be defined by everyone differently some people find life very pleasing while some find it dis pleasing , its just how u perceive situations in life .
well sometimes things happens in life and you sit and wonder what wrong did one do for them to be in such a situation , u think maybe of how much u really tried to be a good person and yet you still went through what your going through well then one thinks of whom to blame or you feel that life is treating you so unfairly and then we get so stressed and sad and the whole world turns upside down and all we want to hear is its not ur fault maybe that will make us feel better but Alhamdulillah all this are signs from Allah .
the Prophet peace be upon him says " the fear of a believer is amazing, whole of his life is beneficial when in good times he is grateful and when in difficulty he is patience and that is good for him. (bukhari n muslim)
our beloved peace be upon him in this hadith is showing us the best way to look at life life has to be taken through gratitude and patience .
gratitude is the ability to be thankful , to appreciate , to show how much one is considerate about the other effort Allah subhana wataala tells us in surah ibrahim "thank me and i will give you more and if u disbelief then my purnishment is more " . this ayat mention being ungrateful as disbelief that's why we see that in gratitude is a big issue in islam . beloved peace be upon him say whoever doesn't thank people doesn't thank Allah (tirmidhi)
being grateful can be easily achieve because we can learn to say thank you .
being patience is the biggest problem , who wants to be told that take it easy when someone does something bad to them everyone wants to defend themselves release their anger and let the other person know they shouldn't joke with you well it depends with the situation but the best is to be patience let it go forgive and let Allah deal with the situation . Allah says in baqara 155 certainly i will test you n he mentions the type of test but then HE says give glad tidings to the patience . Rasul peace be upon him says no one has been given a gift better than patience .
the most beautiful story in Quran is story of Yusuf peace be upon him not because his handsome and all but because of the way he portrayed patience how he dealt with the fitna that was blamed on him , subhanAllah he preferred prison than disobedience to Allah well this shows us a lot .
next time we want to see life as difficult and unfair think of all the blessing Allah has given you and say ALHAMDULILLAH and when you feel the world is to harsh on you and things are all going wrong just know its test from Allah and all you need to do is be patience and HE SUBHANWATAALA WILL TAKE CARE OF THE REST INSHALLAH
