Someone is making Money Off your Distractions

Endlessly surfing YouTube, CNN and Facebook?

Someone is thanking  you for the revenue you generated FOR THEM while you were distracted and draining your own resources.

Stick To It to be Successful


Sahih International
The believers are only the ones who have believed in Allah and His Messenger and then doubt not but strive with their properties and their lives in the cause of Allah . It is those who are the truthful.
Muhsin Khan
Only those are the believers who have believed in Allah and His Messenger, and afterward doubt not but strive with their wealth and their lives for the Cause of Allah. Those! They are the truthful.
Shakir
The believers are only those who believe in Allah and His Messenger then they doubt not and struggle hard with their wealth and their lives in the way of Allah; they are the truthful ones.
Dr. Ghali
Surely the believers are only the ones who have believed in Allah and His Messenger; thereafter they have not been suspicious, and have striven with their riches and their selves in the way of Allah; those are they (who are) sincere.

Quran -49:15

Doubts and Wavering

It is only those who believe not in Allah and the Last Day and whose hearts are in doubt that ask your leave (to be exempted from Jihad). So in their doubts they waver. 
(  سورة التوبة  , At-Taubah, Chapter #9, Verse #45)





Hearts are in doubt............

Sun - A Punctual non-Procrastinating Device


"Allah is He, who created the sun, the moon, and the stars (all) governed by laws under His commandment." (7:54)

Islam is to Spirituality

Islam is to spirituality as organic is to the body.
Healing and helpful.

A Good read - for the Muslim afflicted with Doubts


A Good read - for the Muslim afflicted with Doubts and has Atheistic Tendencies


Surat Yūnus (Jonah) 

Sun and Moon Serving Mankind?


"It is He who made sun a lamp, and moon a light and measured stages so you know number of years and count (of time)." (10:5)

Signs of God

"Among His Signs are the Night and the Day and the sun and moon. Prostrate not to the Sun and the Moon but Prostrate to Allah Who created them if it is Him ye wish to serve." (41:37)

Distracting and Neglecting Yourself?


Sahih International
And be not like those who forgot Allah , so He made them forget themselves. Those are the defiantly disobedient.

Some people who call themselves atheists haven't actually found Allah, they haven't discovered Him ...they are searching constantly .

Some atheists do not like the God concept. 

Every Morning...


“Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up, it knows it must outrun the fastest lion or it will be killed. Every morning in Africa, a lion wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the slowest gazelle, or it will starve. It doesn't matter whether you're the lion or a gazelle-when the sun comes up, you'd better be running.


Muslim looks at rising sun - says "Alhamdullilah, the Sun looks beautiful."

Atheist - "Wow, the Sun looks beautiful."

Muslim doubting God - " :( I am not sure, let me contemplate this....how, this, what, why, I doubt."

In short a muslim that doubts God is wasting his time.

A muslim that doubts God will never be able to at peace with himself. When he takes an atheistic stand he will wonder if Islam is right and vice-versa. 

Also he will miss the satisfaction obtained from his ingrained habits of Salat, Zakah, Fasting,  being grateful and being nice in a moment of anger for the sake of God.


The Sun Shines on Everyone

"...My mercy encompasses all things..."7:156



Belief in God

Belief in God is an act of the soul, of the heart.

The mind and the limbs and the faculties of hearing and speech are simply followers.

Keep the mind is busy with secular things and the heart busy with belief.

Wasting Time


"Wasting time is worse than death; death separates you from this world whereas wasting time separates you from Allah(SWT)"

Think Act

Think like a [person] of action; act like a [person] of thought. -Henri-Louis Bergson

Atheism, Evolution and Common Sense

Evolution appeals to the intellect but God appeals to the common sense.

But what has shaped my intellect?

Also what about those who are too poor to get access to education in evolutionary biology?

 Is atheism only for the elite?


"GOD is beyond scientific method" by 

God and Parents

Can a child get ahead materially without acknowledging his parents? Without being thankful to them?
Without giving them due respects? Without giving them due rights?

Yes.

Parents may ignore your hurtful words, forgive them and sometimes help you in your lows.

A human's relationship with God is the similar to his relationship with his parents.

One doesn't need to acknowledge the existence of God to get ahead materially.


What good is it for a man to gain the whole world, yet forfeit his soul?

Passive Procrastination

Passive Procrastination can lead to wrong conclusions such as:

  • This is too hard
  • I am not capable

Trust / Tawakul

Trust/Tawakul is an act of the heart , not a lack of action of the mind and the limbs.
Trust/Tawakul is an act of the heart, and not a license to retrieve actions.
TrustTawakul is an act of the heart, not a lack of use of the faculties of hearing, talking and movement.




"I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason,and intellect has intended us to forego their use"

The Only Enemy



Muhsin Khan
O you who believe! Enter perfectly in Islam (by obeying all the rules and regulationsof the Islamic religion) and follow not the footsteps of Shaitan (Satan). Verily! He is to you a plain enemy.
Shakir
O you who believe! enter into submission one and all and do not follow the footsteps of Shaitan; surely he is your open enemy.

Satan Speaking like a Human

I do not know if this page is authentic,  however worth a read.

Satan is Hardworking and Consistent, Are You?


7:16

Muhsin Khan
(Iblis) said: "Because You have sent me astray, surely I will sit in wait against them (human beings) on Your Straight Path
.


Muhsin Khan
Then I will come to them from before them and behind them, from their right and from their left, and You will not find most of them as thankful ones (i.e. they will not be dutiful to You).
"
Dr. Ghali
From the evil of the constantly slinking whisperer

Muhsin Khan
O you who believe! Enter perfectly in Islam (by obeying all the rules and regulationsof the Islamic religion) and follow not the footsteps of Shaitan (Satan). Verily! He is to you a plain enemy.
Shakir
O you who believe! enter into submission one and all and do not follow the footsteps of Shaitan; surely he is your open enemy.

If you aren't hardworking and consistent, then know that playing ground is not level.
