Supplication ( duaa )

Share

Supplication (duaa)we will continue our talk about supplication (duaa) Things to Avoid While Making Duaa 1. Don’t go beyond limits What it means is asking Allah for things He has forbidden. For example, while it is fine to pray to Allah to marry someone, it is forbidden to ask Allah to give you a girl friend or a boy friend, or to win a lottery. *2. Not expecting an answer A Muslim should hope that Allah will answer His duaa as Allah is Merciful to His slaves and powerful to grant them their wishes. 3. To ask for things of this world only in duaa Think about it, what is greater, this world or the hereafter? For a true believer, it is obvious that what Allah has prepared in the life to come is greater. Therefore, a Muslim who understands this point will ask Allah for the blessings of the Hereafter as well. 4. To address Allah with improper Names Remember this simple rule: do not address Allah or use any Name of Allah that is not from the Quran or Sunnah. Addressing Allah with words like “Big Guy.” 5. Do not make duaa against yourself or your family and do not curse others. A point to remember, as a person may pray against a family member or even himself in a fit of rage and start cursing. 6. Do not pray for your death Your life is Allah’s gift to you, do not ask Allah to take it away Preferred Times When Duaa Is Likely to Be Accepted Duaa can be made at any time, but it is more likely to be accepted at the following times. 1.duaa in the last third of the night Allah informs us in the Quran describing the believers, “and they seek forgiveness from their Lord in the hours of the dawn.” (Quran 51:18) How do you calculate the last third of the night? The night extends from the time of sunset till the time for Fajr begins. For example, say sunset is at 5pm and Fajr for next day starts at 5am. The……

Share

🔘 What is the Islamic ruling on alcohol and drugs❓ 🥂🍾💉 Islam, our beautiful religion, provides us guidance about drugs and alcohol.Islam views drugs and alcohol in the category of prohibited and forbidden.👉 Any amount of drugs or alcohol is forbidden to use. Taking even a little wine for social drinking is totally forbidden. Once developed, the habit of drinking in small amounts soon develops into an addiction.🔹 Allah has forbidden drugs and drinks in the Quran: *O you who have believed, indeed, intoxicants, gambling, [sacrificing on] stone alters [to other than Allah], and divining arrows are but defilement from the work of Satan, so avoid it that you may be successful. Satan only wants to cause between you animosity and hatred through intoxicants and gambling and to avert you from the remembrance of Allah and from prayer.

Stop Ignoring These 7 Inspiring Truths

Share

People know who they have the potential to be. The challenge is seeing that process through. Self-development is an art. It takes time. It requires patience. It asks you to step outside your comfort zone. It is challenging — and that’s the point. However, the biggest challenge when it comes to self-development is the process itself. People really struggle with the path and all its twists and turns, much more than they do any single obstacle. But should you learn how to walk that path of self-development, you will learn some tried truths to live by: 1. Any failure can be reframed as a lesson. Self-development is a mindset. To one person, a project going poorly or a relationship ending means they failed. To someone else, it is nothing more than another lesson on the path. By reframing to see the lesson instead of the mistake, you will ultimately learn more and move on to what’s next faster. Original Article

What’s the Point of Self-Improvement Anyway?

Share

There’s a paradox with self-improvement and it is this: the ultimate goal of all self-improvement is to reach the point where you no longer feel the need to improve yourself. Think about it: The whole goal of improving your productivity is to reach the point where you never have to think about how to be more productive. The whole point of pursuing happiness is to reach the point where one no longer has to think about being happy. The whole point of improving your relationships is so that you can enjoy some drama-free cunnilingus in the McDonald’s drive-thru without almost crashing the car. (Still working on that last one.) Self-improvement is therefore, in a weird way, ultimately self-defeating. The only way to truly achieve one’s potential, to become fully fulfilled, or to become “self-actualized” (whatever the fuck that means), is to, at some point, stop trying to be all of those things.

Self-love is the basis for self-improvement

Share

There’s a quandary I hear people talk about a lot in the self-improvement world which goes something like this: “Should I keep trying to change, or should I just learn to love myself?” The people posing this question almost invariably feel terrible about themselves, and further, they assume that’s par for the course. It isn’t. In fact this whole “self-love vs self-improvement” thing is a false dilemma, one that badly misunderstands the role of self-love. This equates loving yourself with thinking you’re just fine the way you are. It treats self-love as a reward for being the person you want to be. It assumes that your self-regard should be based, in some sense, on you being objectively “good.” And conversely, it equates wanting to change with disliking yourself. But ask yourself- is this true of your love for other people? If you love someone else, surely that means you want the best for them? You want them to be healthy, happy and successful. If you have children, you want them to do well in school. If a friend is unhappy with their life, you want their life to change so they’ll be happy. Apply the same standards to yourself that you do to others- love yourself the way you love your friends and family. Decide to be better because you deserve better; because you love yourself and want to enable yourself to live your ideal life.

How to Supercharge Your Learning and Self-Improvement

Share

One of my favorite pieces of ancient wisdom comes from the Stoic philosopher Epictetus: We have two ears and one mouth so that we can listen twice as much as we speak. Sure, that may not be the real reason we have two ears and one mouth, but it reveals a useful pattern that we see repeated in communication in general. Communication essentially has two parts: transmission and reception. These will manifest differently depending on the medium, but the general scheme is the same. Textual Communication: writing and reading Verbal Communication: speaking and listening Pictorial communication: displaying and viewing Simply Put, 2:1 Is Key If we expand Epictetus’s aphorism into a suggestion for how to more effectively communicate, we get something like the following: When it comes to communication, you should work hard to receive twice as much as you transmit. In other words, you should listen twice as much as you speak, read twice as much as you write, and pay twice as much attention as you receive. Let me unpack that last one a bit actually, as it’s a bit complex. When around others, we can either be looking to get attention, or we can be paying attention to those around us. The difference between the two is just like the difference between talking and listening — though it expands far beyond the realm of verbal communication. It’s about your attitude as a communicator — your purpose for communicating. And a 2:1 ratio helps to remind us that we should be communicating in a way that helps to enrich us, and to build relationships. Original Article
