The subject title " Ever Wondered Why You Are Unhappy In
Life?" is one I chose myself. In todays modern environment
where everyone is racing after the Duniya matter [material
world], and are competing with each other in every possible
manner, have you ever wondered why there is
still
unhappiness in your life?
The answer is so simple [and very obvious to many I am sure!]
We are neglectful in our prayers & reading the precious words
of the Qur'an. Let me remind you, the biggest reason why
there is unhappiness in your household is because you have
been undutiful to Allah(swt). You have been ignorant to the
commands of Allah (swt) and the satin has misguided you.
Forget the Quraan he shouts, forget the prayers, time for the
cinema, the high street fashion shops and time to gossip.
Islam does not say that we can not enjoy life. Ofcourse we
want things in life, but its so essential to strike a balance
between deen and duniya. That balance is now becoming
incredibly difficult for many brothers and sisters who are
trapped in the wrath of the Shaitaan. [Satin].
My dear brothers, when did you read your prayers 5 times? My
dear sisters when did you open the Holy Qur'an and understand
what you are reading? Do you know where the Qur'an is in your
house? My dear sisters, when did you read the 5 prayers? When
are you going to start? Why do we keep on making weak excuses
like " I am not ready for it yet". Such a typical and
weak answer from many brothers and
sisters of todays modernity.
Just a few days ago, I was in conversation with a muslim
colleague whos is doctor. He was telling me :
"This young guy only 23yrs of age is on the ward. He is so
witty, makes me laugh- he is the favourite of all the nurses
and doctors. Last year he was working for a large
multinational , with his dreams and goals in front of him.
Now, he's dying of renal failure. Its very sad. We should be
so so grateful for what we have."
Just remember, a household in which the family are running
towards the duniya, are neglecting their prayers & Quraan; that
household will never be happy. I am sorry
if I sound harsh, but the reality of the situation had to be
said. A household in which there is no Ibaadat [worship] is
a sinking ship. Return back to Allah(swt) and His commands
and realise the outcome. Not only will you feel stronger and
more better within your heart, but your life will become much
more easier. You will feel as if the worlds burden has been
taken off you. Thats the power of the Prayer & the Qur'an..
Subhanallah.
May Allah swt guide us in the path of the Quraan and Sunnah,
May Allah(swt) keep the Muslim Ummah united Ameen.
Truly brothers and sisters, each day as I assess the muslims
youngsters here in the U.S.A who are going on the wrong path.
I shed a tear. It hurts and its very worrying. The Muslim
ummah are truly becoming so weak and we are losing our
identity as followers of the Qur'an and Sunnah.
Remember the Hadith :
Volume 8, Book 76, Number 435:
Narrated Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri:
Allah's Apostle said, "The thing I am afraid of most for
your sake, is the worldly blessings which Allah will bring
forth to you." It was said, "What are the blessings of this
world?"
The Prophet said, "The pleasures of the world." A man said,
"Can the good bring forth evil?" The Prophet kept quiet for
a while till we thought that he was being inspired
divinely. Then he started removing the sweat from his
forehead and said," Where is the questioner?" That man
said, "I (am present)." Abu Sa'id added: We thanked the man
when the result (of his question) was such. The Prophet
said, "Good never brings forth but good.
This wealth (of the world) is (like)
green and sweet (fruit), and all the vegetation which grows
on the bank of a stream either kills or nearly kills the
animal that eats too much of it, except the animal that
eats the Khadira (a kind of vegetation). Such an animal
eats till its stomach is full and then it faces the sun and
starts ruminating and then it passes out dung and urine and
goes to eat again. This worldly wealth is (like) sweet
(fruit), and if a person earns it (the wealth) in a legal
way and spends it properly, then it is an excellent helper,
and whoever earns it in an illegal way, he will be like the
one who eats but is never satisfied." (Source Sahih Bukhari)
Make Du'a to Allah (swt).
