Why

I don’t understand why people take salat so lightly. Actually I do because i use to be one of those people who would pray five times a day but I wasn't really praying. Two reasons why
1. I wasn’t steadfast I didn’t want to pray but i did because i had too but back in the day i never prayed for the right reason which therefore does not provide no contentment in the heart.
2. I did not understand why to pray but if u began to contemplate than u realize why doesn’t everyone pray .Ur praying to your lord who has provided u with ur hands, beauty, skill and family etc he has provided everything for us and we cant bow five times a day for him and after realizing this and then looking forward in worshiping my lord and thanking him for every thing that he has provided for us .I feel contentment peace in my heart its indescribable. Now every time I miss prayer I feel depressed I feel like there’s is a hole in my heart filled with fire.
Prayer is a simple act but yet difficult to perform.

Test

Today I wish to speak to all
about a test that I am facing that hurts painful difficult
need to be patience
a test where
within ur ummah u feel betrayed hurt
and u have no trust
where ur brother disrespects u
where ur brother calls u a liar
where ur brother calls u a hypocrite
where ur brother calls u a show-off.
where u brother disgraces u.
The pain the agony
where he’s speaking daggers to his brother
what shall I do
what should I do
if a confront him,
if a be mean
if a be rude
if a reply to his words of daggers with my own.
that would cause him to runaway from this beautiful religion of Islam
that would result in more pain not only with my heart but with others
what should I do
where ur brother backbites
where he slanders
where they don’t care about eating the flesh of there brother
what should I do
keep silent
and hope that Allah can pave the road for me.
listen to the abuse
and wait for the reward of Allah and the afterlife
that’s all I can do
i do not want to be the cause of them running away from this deen
ill endure the pain and agony hoping it will benefit all

Pondering in the hallways of Ainly

Man I don’t know is it just me. I notice the slightest things. There was an instance in school it was last Monday. Aman, Hadi, Kamil, Osama, Yawer, Youcef and I (hopefully this is grammatical correct for those who know I suck at eng) went to Southgate. We usually never go on a Monday, but we went because it was the last day before the beginning of the blessed month of Ramadan. On our way back those who went to Ainly, knows that there are many paths to reach your destination. In which some Muslim brothers went left and the others went straight. I stood at the crossroad and began to ponder is this what is happening in our ummah, that we split up for the most minute issues. For example the sighting of the moon people don’t understand, sighting the moon is a Sunnah and unity is Fard. Unity. Unity. In Edmonton I see how we are divided and it hurts therefore when I saw these Muslim brothers physically dividing for no apparent reason my heart began to bleed. I see this current situation in our schools, mosques, cities and countries. Thit is why Islam is not prevailing. Islam is such a beautiful religion but starting with me we are not being the true example of Islam like our prophet who converted people with his actions. I yelled out to the both groups of Muslim brothers in a jokingly matter said “this is the state of the ummah” even though I meant every word from the depths of my heart.

Some people who read this might call me a fanatic or tell me to relax and that I am analyzing the situation too much and they even may be right but all I know is until we break whatever barriers that stop has from being united, Islam will never prevail.

Oh yea thanks if you’re reading for encouraging me to speak what I feel. If I get shut down it is all right with me, because I am a muslim not for people to like me but i am a muslim to obey Allah. That’s another thing people tend to forget because there are three types of people. Those who do good to attain the reward of paradise, those who do good to out of fear of hell and to avert the punishment of it. Lastly those who do righteous deeds because they want to please Allah and these are the best among the believers. Khair Inshallah that is another topic for the future.

The Story

Yerstrday at jummah khutba I was giving the khutba.I was talking about Da wah and my main point for dawah was that actions speek louder than word and that we should be role models in the soceity and that is the best way to give da wah.

The story is about a old women leaving mecca because of prophet muhhamad peace be upon him:

It would be such a pleasure to have you come along with me
I accpet your gracious offer of kindness and company.
But as we walk along young man I have only one requestas we
tavel down this road .
DONT TALK TO ME ABOUT Muhaammad
because of him their is no peace and i have trouble in my mind
SO DONT TALK TO ME ABOUT Muhhammad
As we walk along together we will get along just fine

That man upsets me so much
I hear of his name and reputation everywhere i go
His family and clan once knew him as an honest man
He is dividing everyone with his claim that God is one.

HE mislead all the weako ones and the poor one and the slaves
They think that the found wealth and freedom following his way
He has currupted the youth
With his twisted brand of truth
Convince that they all are strong
Given them somwhere to belong

Thank you young man your reall been so kind
Your genorosity and smile is very rare to find
Let me give you some advice
Since you've been so nice
From Muhhamad stay away

Now before we part
and if it's alrite
May I ask you young man
Who are you and what is your name
Forgive what was that
your words werent very clear
My ear's are getting old
sometimes it's hard to hear
It's truly rather funny and though i am surly must be wrong
But i thought u said your name was..........MUHHAMAD


Man doesnt this story bring tears rollig down your face this was our prophet our role model.
