Hey! I just saw your post about being muslim and balancing loa with islamic teachings, can you share more on that? As a muslim I’m also trying to understand loa from an islamic perspective! Thank u <3333

ofc, tysm for asking!! i saw a few tiktoks and i think a yt vid discussing this so i can’t take all the credit lmao, but it truly just depends on your perspective of the fundamentals of loa.

the standard concept of loa is the belief that the universe will grant you whatever you wish no matter what. now, obviously, this concept is shirk because you are asking and believing in something other than Allah SWT.

after realizing this, we establish that manifesting the mainstream way is haram. so, we simply need to manifest in our own, halal way!

firstly, replace “the universe” with Allah SWT, and put your faith in Him instead (as it always should be)for all your desires. Replace Him in your affirmations (or however you choose to manifest), and ask Him to grant you whatever you desire instead of the universe or another “higher power”.

secondly, i recommend replacing the concept of affirmations with dua. when you think about it, it becomes glaringly obvious that affirmations are just another form of praying. you’re repetitively asking Allah SWT for whatever you need, and you know He will grant it to you because He loves his creation. It’s just has a different name.

i also recommend adding “affirmations” praising Allah SWT and Prophet Muhammed PBUH into you routine, the same way you do when making dua. i can give some examples of that if you want!! it’s really beneficial, especially in the beginning when you haven’t quite gotten into the mindset yet.

and that’s my islamic pov on loa!! i hope you find it helpful, pls lmk if you want me to elaborate on anything or have any questions! thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to talk about and spread the deen <3

"What am I doing wrong?"

The only problem is assuming you have a problem or that you are doing something wrong. It becomes a cycle of "fixing and restarting" very quickly. Why do you assume that you have a problem, or that you are doing something wrong? Why do you assume that you can't do it? Why do you assume that something is blocking you from having everything of your desires? Ask yourself.

First off, giving up an old bad habit is difficult, that I know; however, it is not impossible. I've had a lot of difficulties in my life where I repeated the same habit over and over again and I thought for me I would never overcome them. But you know what changed? trying. I tried my best every day and even if I failed, I slowly accepted that I am not perfect and I am only human. That is who we are, and that is why Allah the Almighty is so merciful, because Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala himself knows we humans will slip up and fall. But listen, it's not impossible and as annoying as it is, as long as you keep trying, keep having that good intentions of becoming better and to do better; trust me those habits will be history.

Whenever we do something for the sake of our lord, everything works out, everything clicks together. These habits you have won't be vanished for one day of course, or a week, it's a process--a journey that we all need to accept. Think of it as a fitness journey, you won't get fit in one day. These things take time and after feeling so negative about myself I realized as long as you try, asking Allah for help, and doing the most you can--it is possible.

I hope these tips do help you, and everyone is different as everyone has different struggles and bad habits. These will either help you or guide you to overcome those habits in your own way. May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala make it easy for us.

I have seen a video of someone asking a scholar why do I still commit these bad deeds/habits if I am performing my five daily prayers? and the answer to this was the quality of your namaz. Do you rush into prayer, are you zoning out, are you not on time for namaz, and etc.

There is of course a lot to this but the quality of your namaz and how much time you spend with our lord does affect our hearts.

One of many ways to re-connect with our lord to become better with our daily prayers are:

Performing your prayers on time (I understand how our laziness could get in the way or how we are so into whatever we were doing before and cannot detach ourselves from this but, a quote I read and did help me at times like this was "Put your time and effort to Allah, and Allah will put his time and effort to you too.")

Recite a dua/surah after your namaz (Ayetel kursi, a repentance dua, La ilaha illallah, wahdahu la sharika lahu, lahul-mulku wa lahul hamdu, yuhyi wa yumitu, wa huwa ala kulli shay'in qadir, and etc.)

Perform your wudhu 15-10 minutes earlier (Let me tell you when I did this it was so effective. When you perform wudhu earlier, you are in a clear-minded state and are purified. Along with you being on time for namaz, this additionally helps you become more focused during namaz)

Perform Dhikr (Subhanallah, Alhamdullilah, Astaghfirullah, La illaha illallah, Allahu Akbar)

Learn the meaning of what you are reciting (When you learn and understand the meaning of the surah/dua's you are reciting, being focused becomes easier and the connection becomes stronger)

Create distractions for yourself to not commit those deeds/habits!

Do what you love and enjoy (Go back to those hobbies you used to enjoy! or hang out with your friends and family.)

Educate yourself (Look up interesting things; Learn something new; Watch an islamic podcast)

Get to work (If you have any outstanding work or homework, get straight to it.)

Learn a new surah (Let's say you REALLY have nothing else to do, then what better way to spend that time in something worthy--learning a surah!)

Go outside and enjoy nature!

Along with giving up those bad habits, create new good habits to incorporate in your day-to-day life!

Each day, add something in your routine--even if its small! For instance, get back to that skin care routine you were so lazy to do; or go on that walk you kept saying later to; or even folding your clothes and organizing your closet. Each time you add a good habit to do, you become distracted to those bad habits, have less time do commit them, and on the long run you are creating habits for a better difference!

With this in mind, please do not do everything at once. To prevent a negative on-going cycle, just like that book "Atomic Habits" said, that "If you can get 1% better each day for one year, you'll end up with 37 times better by the time you're done."

A habit to always include and progress even more is repentance! Recite and repeat Astaghfirullah; Ya Gaffar and Ya Gafoor; as well as the repentance surah's! Before doing anything, always say Bismillah and whether you're doing chores or scrolling on your phone, always say Astaghfirullah. This helps you be more aware of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala!

And lastly, remember you can do it!

O Allah! Controller of the hearts, direct our hearts to Your obedience.

it’s okay to acknowledge that you’ll get it in the 3d.

i’ve been thinking about this recently, and i want to share it with you all.

recently, i’ve been focusing on fulfilling myself within. it’s gone well, but i could never figure out why i was anxious sometimes after my fulfillment. why i was so hyper fixated on the end goal, despite me already experiencing it. it’s not that i don’t trust the law, or don’t have any trust in myself, but i think it stemmed from my doubt of “well, what if it will never come to pass in the 3d?”

i’m gonna be so honest with you guys: it’s okay to acknowledge that you’ll have your desire in the 3d. people go about it wrong by focusing on the lack in their 3d, hence focusing on lack in imagination. you’re not making it happening in the 3d, you’re just going to be aware of the inevitable effect. the thing with this is that you have to control what you’re placing you’re awareness on. because that’s what your experience will consist of.

all you need to do to apply this law is:

persistently be aware that you have what you want in imagination and know that it’s the cause of your life.

in fact, i think that acknowledging that it’ll come to pass will help you detach from external results faster! you know that imagination is the only reality, and that it’ll come to pass. so what do you have to stress over?

neville mentioned that it’s okay to know that your desire is “coming” into your 3d. the only thing he emphasized was to remain loyal to your new idea. meaning that you must always place your focus to the fact that you already have it and knowing that.

as long as you’re consistent with who you’re being within, it’s okay to acknowledge that the effect of your awareness will show in the 3d and move on. the key is to focus on the fact that you already have it in imagination right now. you just aso have the knowledge that since who your being within is the cause, your 3d manifesting your feeling is the effect.

it’s okay to know that the effect is coming, just continue being.

as above, so below.

as within, so without.
