The True Believer and their Belief in ALLAHSWT

Assalamu Alaikum wa Warahmatullahi wa Baraktuh,

Its been a long time since I have been on here, but insha'ALLAH, I will begin doing things a little more differently.

As Muslims, the saying of, "There is no god, but ALLAH and Muhammad is the messenger and Prophet" is simple, but what does it really mean?

When we take shahada, we must learn how to OBEY Allah and His Messenger. The truth is...this takes SUBMISSION.

Sometimes Muslims-BORN OR CONVERT do not understand this. This means that EVERYTHING that layed out in HIS book and the Sunnah must be obeyed.

Sometimes we want to question why some things are, but this is not our concerns.

The Qur'an tells us that the believer must not question what AllahSWT has decreed for him. Listen to that!

Sometimes, we are so focused on understanding, but ALLAH is Most-KNOWLEDGABLE. He is not like me and you.

We question why we can't listen to music, or why we can't date or etc. This is none of our concern as in why we can't do this or that.....

I am learning this as I progress further in Islam. I'm great at asking questions, but what about listening to the answer and taking it for what it is.

Sure, we all can go to different classes at the mesjid, but do we implement and take those lessons and use them?

Sometimes we believe that simply wearing hijab or a beard is it, but it isn't?

Our faith in ALLAHSWT goes much further. Its more than praying and fasting. Its much deeper, and insha'ALLAH, I hope many of you can understand this.

What does it mean to be Muslim? What does it mean to understand our Lord? What does it mean to love Allah and his messenger?

The True Believer is one who lays asides his doubts and concerns and have FAITH in ALLAH. The True believer is patient,and dependent ONLY on Allah.

Wa Alaikum Salaam

HOT TOPIC: Polygamy in ISLAM: WHAT TO DO?

Assalamu Alaikum sis,

Many times, I would read or I would hear stories from sisters about their husbands and their wanting of another wife. Islam allows a man to take up to 4 wives. This is his right that AllahSWT have given to him. Many sisters have told me that they were in polygamous marriages before. I have read true stories also about this topic.

Many sisters find out that their husbands are engaged or married to another woman. My advice is to deal with it, or to divorce the brother. This is apart of submitting in Islam. We must understand that Islam is the only way of life that we must follow.

Shari'ah, or the Law of AllahSWT is what we follow. Marriage is a serious issue in Islam. I also have heard great stories about sisters in a polygamous marriage. I know a sister told me recently that she is in a polygamous marriage. She doesn't have a problem with this. Masha'ALLAh. Its part of Islam.

ANY questions or comments? Just post, insha'ALLAH

The Process of Being Muslim

Assalamu Alaikum,

Islam came as a reminder for us. This religion is clear in what we should and shouldn't do.
We must make ourselves alert of what being Muslim means.

As a Muslim, we must separate ourselves from things that are not of ISLAM.
We must sacrifice to gain the pleasure of ALLAHSWT.

Also, we must have a list of characteristics that separates ourselves from others.

Being Muslim takes time. We must learn about ALLAHSWT and about our dear ProphetSAW.
We must strengthen our faith each year. We must renew our faith.

Being Muslim means loving ourselves, believing in the oneness of ALLAH, following the SUNNAH.

HOT TOPIC: SECTS IN ISLAM

Assalamu Alaikum,

Many Muslims in our Ummah are calling themselves Shi'ite, sunni, salafi, wahhabi, and etc. This is not the way of our dear ProphetSAW and his companions. The Qur'an tells us that we are a brotherhood that should not be split up.

Why are we putting ourselves in groups?

Aren't we apart of ONE religion. We follow Qur'an and Sunnah.

AllahSWT says in his book that He has sent upon us an excellent example(Prophet MuhammadSAW).

Why must we go astray and look to be apart of a group?
