It is hard to admit falling short in the eyes of Allah even if it is on an anonymous website. Do I have advice for you? I am sure that everything that I say you have heard before. The decision to serve Allah can only come from inside because at the end of the day it is all just between you and Him. I would say the two things that I can mention to you are to #1-- Fear Allah. Hox, is the partying and speech and "fun" really going to be worth it when you are being questioned by Allah? When you are facing eternity and it is paradise is passing you by do you really think your thoughts will be "Man I sure had a great time on earth?" Fear Allah... Fear what your decisions mean for you. #2-- Find friends that aren't going to cause you to stumble. I know it is tough... I know completely and in full experience, but you need to decide how bad you want to serve Allah. I am not saying by any means that things will be easy or that you won't sin. Shataan is going to try hard to make you fall into his traps. And even the best Muslims these days make mistakes. Know that Allah is merciful to those who are earnest in their intention and service to him. <BR/>One other thing... How are your salat? If you are praying all 5 then maybe it is time to re-examine why it is we pray. To remind us of Allah, to keep us from sin, to help us live as we should. <BR/>Insha'Allah you know what is best for you. I can never judge... there are still many things I fall short on. <BR/>May Allah make it easy for us. May He continue to seek us out and put conviction in our hearts. May He surround us with people that will make us strong in our faith. Ameen. <BR/>I will make Dua for you insha'Allah.may14muslimahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13725806919478486598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29480916.post-1153524123886870852006-07-21T19:22:00.000-04:002006-07-21T19:22:00.000-04:00if u have an advice, please tell me. cause thats t...if u have an advice, please tell me. cause thats the thing! i've heard so many, i'm like immune to it or somethin. and i dont wanna be like that, but i dunno. advice me. give me a good advice.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29480916.post-1153523923664068562006-07-21T19:18:00.000-04:002006-07-21T19:18:00.000-04:00salam sister. i think the reason muslims like to h...salam sister. i think the reason muslims like to hear about how you gave up the western lifestyle and stuff, is probably because they're struggling with that as well. hey, i'm muslim, born and raised, but it's HARD to give up the "fun" and "cool" things that are around us everyday. plus, i've been muslim for soo long, it starts to get boring, which apparently scares me. yes, islam is the answer. yes, doing good deeds is the way to Paradise. yes, there's reward. yes, there's punishment. but in our days sometimes following this way means you walk alone. top that up with Friends and other shows which highlights the joys of having company, makes us want to join in with the crowd. cause even among muslims there's some who are really good, obeys Allah and goes to mosques and stuff.. and there's also the fun bunch who also prays and goes to mosques AND fasts, but they also go to the movies and talk about sex and all the stuff kids in American Pie talk about. obviously, the answer is to advice the brothers.. but ya know.. sighh... i dont even know. i mean, its cause im in college. theres carnivals, parties, classes and.. and.. and.. and basically following the truth of what you know and i mean KNOW it IS the truth, still isn't as simple as it seems.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29480916.post-1153503862927887012006-07-21T13:44:00.000-04:002006-07-21T13:44:00.000-04:00Thanks for the blog. I check it on daily basis and...Thanks for the blog. I check it on daily basis and like to know your points of view. <BR/>A friend of mine once asked me: what is our duty if we have had many missed prayers and want to start over? I told her to ask for forgiveness from Allah and try to pray as many prayers as possible for those missed ones. She was so happy to hear this option and she told me about one of the answers another Muslim ROLE MODLE! gave her which was you have to pray for all those missed prayers otherwise you are not forgiven. I think this so called role model Muslim is not helping people to get back on the track at all.<BR/>The point is we need to learn how to start over by looking at the bright future with a lot of hope and this should be one of the teachings of Islam as Allah encourages us to ask for forgiveness even if we have several mistakes!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
