Clearing my mind and Heart

In the name of Allah the most gracious the most merciful
All praise is due to the one who gives us the opportunity to take each breath and to live each moment that truly would have not been if it wasn't for his permission. I bear witness that no one else is worth of all praise and worship but Allah (Swt) the all mighty, the all knowing and truly the all aware. I bear witness and openly testify that Muhammad (Saw) is the last and final messenger of Allah (Swt). Here is something I wrote up while having a few thoughts on my mind, It may be a bit confusing as I wrote this as I was pouring my thoughts out as they came along. As always I write what I feel in my heart and Inshallah its a reminder for myself. If you are offended then may Allah (Swt) forgive me Also I apologize for the hundred of spelling mistakes.

Always love those who love Allah unconditionally. This way you will ensure that you live for Him, love for Him, and hate for Him(those who are enemies of Him). The ummah has fallen into a great plague where we love to divide amongst ourselves we have coined up terms such as Sufi, Salafi, Tableekhi although these are all ways of practice but we have used these terms to create a division not in worship but in the love that is to be between us all and this very nature that we have created is destroying us from within.

The gems of Islam and its beauty are within the hearts of all of us as we are Muslim when we are born however the ones who polish these gems will only be the ones who attain and achieve the wealth in the end. This life will consist of test as Allah (swt) says
“And certainly, We shall test you with something of fear, hunger, loss of wealth, lives and foods, but give glad tidings to As-Sabirun (the patient ones). Who, when afflicted with calamity, say: 'Truly! To Allah (swt) we belong and truly, to him we shall return.'”(Surah Al-Baqarah, 2:155-6)
Inshallah May Allah (Swt) guide as keep our hearts clean and make us live life to live in Jannah and allow us to live simple Inshallah yet with joy. I remind you to learn to forgive people as people change.


In the world today we see trends, in the world today we see the society has become very compact and the human mind and heart have led to believe whatever is being fed to them. Critical thinking has been taken away as it is replaced by materialistic thinking. One may ask what the exact difference between critical thinking and materialistic thinking is and the answer is clearly defined as that the natural disposition of man leads man to think naturally and the influenced disposition of man leads one to think materialistic.

Influence of many kinds truly play a deep role in the functions and in the shaping of society. We find that anything out of the norms or the so called "norms" is thought as different and not acceptable. These out of norms referred to are not the differences which exist between culture but however between religious beliefs. Although one may feel accepted it is not acceptance. Acceptance is the ability to think freely and theability to act freely without a threat from those around. One is not free to think if ones heart is held captive to the materialistic pressures of the society natural disposition of man is one that calls upon when in need one who is of higher power or one some refer to as a "creator" who created the creation. Today we find that the Muslims from all of the various religious beliefs are being looked upon as "strange" or "out of the norm of society".

It is with this view point that we are pushed and challenged to either continue to be looked upon as these outcasts or to give in and assimilate and compromise the beautiful way of the Sunnah of the Prophet (Saw). Today we find that across the global Muslims are being challenged on the issue of the veil, we find brothers are being challenged on the issue of the beard and so on. The ummah is being pushed into a corner and we don't even know it. The Muslims in the west are being set up and can not even see the traps. One may wonder why this is happening or why the Muslims?. To clear up the issue of "why" clearly the Muslims are strange and are different. We see the Muslims are not welcome in the modern world, Although they are told they are truly deep down inside they aren't. Anything out of normal is not welcome in this society and this is clear.
Either the way of the west lives and everything else is finished as this so called "democracy" is being spread. The Prophet (Saw) said to us 1400 years ago that Muslims would not be accepted into today's society. The Prophet (Saw) said "Islam came as something strange and it will return as something strange and heaven is for the strangers". If we want heaven then we will never compromise who we are and what we stand for. In this society if the non Muslims don't like the veil our beautiful sisters wear to cover themselves then let it be known that the sisters will never compromise that beautiful right they have because one day that same sister will be "strange" in the mall and in the eyes of the kuffar and the next she will dwell in Jannah forever. The brother who is looked upon as strange for not going on dates and growing a beard will be looked upon as "strange" one day however the next he will be in Jannah forever. The question comes down to this "what do we want?"

If we want Jannah then we ganna be strange,hated and looked down upon and if we want the temporary luxury of this life then it is available to us. Islam will never change and in the end it will be dominant and it will rule. This is the reality of Islam and the religion of Allah (Swt). We must free our minds and make ourselves think critically about our lives and how we live them we must also feel like we are strange as this shows that we are guided and we must always know that if we are strange and that our mind is free and we areworking for Allah (Swt) then nothing but Jannah awaits us. Let us not love this short life but let us live forever in Jannah and let us all meet in Jannah Inshallah. Jannah or Jahanum? The key to each is infront of you take the path you want.
May Allah (Swt) guide us all Inshallah.

Assalam alekom. MashaALLAH ! Weldone.
This could really touch my heart. I hope for myself and all Muslims to feel and think this way , and not fear to be stranger for the aim of pleasing ALLAH swt and dwell at the end in Jannah inshaALLAH. I really hope to always keep this idea in my mind.
This article is quite great and valuable, Thanks and praise being to ALLAH swt.
Jazak ALLAH khyran. InshaALLAH if you remain like this, one day you will be a big and great da'eya. I really wish you the best.
