I’ve Never Seen A Day Where GOD Didn’t Come Through For Me.

“We are all a people in need. We are not perfect. We are not machines. We make mistakes. We need grace. We need compassion. We need help at times. We need other people. And that’s okay.”

— Jamie Tworkowski

Allah will answer your prayers. And when He does, He will answer them in ways you could never even imagine. He will blow you away with the perfection of His plans and will leave you utterly speechless in the way He allows things to fall perfectly into place.

“Happiness is not handed to us on a silver platter. Happiness is something that we ourselves must be able to manifest all on our own, regardless of what else life gives to us.”

Imagine being married to a MAN who asks GOD to help him LOVE you CORRECTLY.

FOR OUR SISTERS WHO ENCOUNTER TRIALS AND DIFFICULTIES – BY OUR NOBLE FATHER AND ESTEEMED SHAYKH SAALIH AL FAWZAAN

Trials and tribulations come to each and every one of us with both a purpose and a reward. A mighty reward awaits the believer who continues to strive upon obedience and the one who exercises patience during times of difficulty. Patience is an ingredient we all need in life. Without patience, we are nothing, we will lose the battle against shaytaan – he will defeat us, we will lose ourselves, we will lose our religion.

Ibn Qayyim once mentioned that indeed every single soul shall be tested in this life. Prepare my noble sisters, indeed in this life we shall all be tested. May Allaah grant us strength, patience, and firmness. May Allaah make us from those who return to Allaah in humility and submissiveness. May Allaah make us from the obedient servants.

Supplicating to Allaah during Trials:

Abundant supplication to Allaah is from the causes of success at times of trials, in order for Allaah to protect us from such tests. The Messenger said:

“Seek refuge in Allaah from trials whether apparent or hidden.” [Saheeh Muslim] The Prophet in the last tashahhud would seek refuge from four things and he ordered us to do similarly. 

He said: “Seek refuge in Allaah form four: punishment of the hell fire; punishment of the grave; the trials of life and death; and from the trials of the Anti-Christ (Dajjaal).” [Saheeh Muslim]

The Muslim should increase therefore, in calling upon Allaah to protect himself from evil of known and unknown trials. He should beg Allaah, for He is close to us (in responding)and answering our prayers. Whoever turns to Allaah and seeks His protection, is protected by Him. Whoever calls upon Him, He answers. He descends every night to the lowest heaven and says: “Is there anyone asking from Me that I may give him his need? Is there one calling upon Me that I may answer him? Is there anyone seeking forgiveness from Me that I may forgive him?” [Bukhaaree & Muslim]

Allaah has opened His door to those in need, night and day, but this is an additional time and opportunity Allaah designates, as a Mercy for them. A Muslim should call upon Allaah at all times, yet especially during the best times, such as in prostration (sujood), The Prophet said: “Increase supplication in prostration for it is most likely that your supplication will be answered.” [Saheeh Muslim]

The Prophet said: “The servant is closest to Allaah when he is prostrating, so supplicate much therein.” [Saheeh Muslim & Saheeh Sunan Abee Daawood]

Other examples of the most superior times to supplicate are: in the last third of the night, the last hour on friday (before the maghrib prayer), and the last part of each prayer. One should beg Allaah and not be heedless from supplicating, especially in asking Allaah for protection from trials, once a person is protected, he will be safe from all evil. If a person is safe from trials, consequently, his religion is safe and thus his state at the point of death will also be safe.

[Taken from “Trials Of Life” by Shaykh Saalih Al-Fawzaan, Pp. 71-73]

Ask Allah for the impossible.

Make it a habit to ask Allah - and Allah alone - for your needs. Set aside time for Him and ask for everything you desire. If something seems impossible, then know that nothing is impossible for the One who created the seven heavens and the earth.

You've done your part. You've prayed already. You've cried already. Now, watch Allah to do His part. Comfort your heart, and just trust Him.

‎Abdullāh Ibn al-Mubārak, رحمه الله, said:

‎"I love the pious people even though I'm not one of them, and I hate the evil people even though I may be worse than them."

‎(Siyār A'lam An-Nubalā Volume, #8]

Ya Allaah guard me against the evil of myself. Forgive me for all my sins, big and small, hidden and evident. Protect me, guide me, strengthen my Imaan and bless me with the right knowledge. Ameen
