Keeping the Faith Strong in Allah in Hard Times

  Keeping the Faith Strong in Allah in Hard Times 16 October, 2022 Be Positive: Having a Good Opinion Leads to Contentment Having to write an article about faith, I decided to poll my children and ask them what was faith and what I, as a parent, can do to help them reach the level of  Yaqeen , or better still what more could I have done. While some of their answers left me contemplating, a few conclusions were made on hearing their definitions to what was a rather difficult question. I have read that faith or ‘ yaqeen ‘, which in Arabic seems to have that special strength, is translated as certainty in God, and this comprises many aspects. Most simply it is certainty in God’s existence, but also certainty in God’s power, attributes and promises. We sometimes face much confusion about faith today with all that’s going on in our lives.

Those who trust Allah never lose hope

  Those who trust Allah never lose hope HARUN YAHYA February 27, 2015 03:02 86806 Follow @arabnews One of the important characteristics of a Muslim is that he remains in a positive state of mind, whatever the circumstances. He tries for the best and look for wisdom. A Muslim is never in despair, not even in most difficult moments. That is because they believe that Allah is the Creator of all things; that He has the power to create whatever He wants by saying it to “Be!” The faithful knows that any trying times, he finds himself in, are a God-sent test.

Allah knows and you do not know.” (Qur’an, 2:216) Everything turns positive for a Muslim with such a depth of soul. Whether it be trouble or difficulty, it is Allah Who bestows them on that person. He is believers’ Helper and Guardian. Any

We may face challenges and difficult situations in our life but we have to face them strongly while believing in Allah Almighty that is the concept of Tawakkul. Tawakkul is our belief and the attitude that we have about putting trust in Allah to take care of all affairs of our life. In Holy Quran, Allah Almighty says:  “And will provide for him from where he does not expect. And whoever places his trust in Allah, Sufficient is He for him, for Allah will surely accomplish His Purpose: For verily, Allah has appointed for all things a due proportion.”  (Quran, 65:3). From this verse, we can say that always trust and rely on Allah because He is the Best Sustainer and He will guide us in our difficult time and surely He will protect us. In Holy Quran Allah Al

  IslamBasics.com The Oneness of Allah   Ib_Admin 5 years ago CHAPTER IX The Oneness of Allah   We sent no Messenger before you without revealing to him, “There is no god but Me, so worship Me (alone)”  (Al-Anbiya  21:25).   The Oneness of Allah, known as  tawhid,  is the first and paramount constituent of the Islamic concept, as it is the fundamental truth of the Islamic faith. It is also one of the chief characteristics of the Islamic concept because, among all the belief systems and philosophies cur­rently prevailing among human beings, only the Islamic faith can be characterized as having a pure form of monotheism. This is why we have included “The Oneness of Allah” as one of the characteristics of the Islamic concept. From the outset we state that the message of the Oneness of Allah has been the chief constituent and characteristic of all religions brought by the Messengers of Allah Most High, because every religion sent from Allah was nothing but Islam, which is submission to All
