OFFICIAL RAMADAN 2016 THREAD (NO TROLLS OR ISLAMOPHOBES ALLOWED)

[Saiyajin]

Haven't check in in a while, but ramadan is still going pretty well.
I finally started hitting up the black islamic center after being here for a year and it's actually really nice, very inviting and a lot of peeps know my peeps since my pops was in the area back in the day
Haven't done so well in other categories though, pretty much fell of my reading the quran and mindfullness during salaat is still
I always get kind of depressed as ramadan comes to an end because i see how far I am away from my goals but I guess it's important to just keep pushing.

my mindfulness during salat is also an issue

 

[Ms. Elaine]

Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh, everyone.


May Day 22 be a good one for us all.

 

[Ms. Elaine]

Congrats to those who completed Day 22. Unfortunately I was prevented from doing so and will not be able to fast for the next few days.

But even though I'm currently stuck on D21, I'll still update the official day count as I've been doing.

my mindfulness during salat is also an issue

My mind plays tricks on me when I'm praying as well. I find it hard to focus when my heart doesn't want to pray. Or when I feel like I don't deserve Allah swt forgiveness

never feel this way bruh thats the most powerful trick of the Shaytan

Allah would rather us sin and ask for forgiveness rather than be completely perfect

Allah the Almighty has said: “O son of Adam, so long as you call upon Me and ask of Me, I shall forgive you for what you have done, and I shall not mind. O son of Adam, were your sins to reach the clouds of the sky and were you then to ask forgiveness of Me, I would forgive you. O son of Adam, were you to come to Me with sins nearly as great as the earth and were you then to face Me, ascribing no partner to Me, I would bring you forgiveness nearly as great as its.”

“O sons of Adam, if you were to sin, and your sins were to be stacked between the heavens and the earth, and you didn’t associate partners with Me and you asked for My forgiveness, I will forgive you.”

It remains to be said that `Abdullah was an alcoholic. He would often become so drunk that he had to be brought staggering through the streets before the Prophet (peace be upon him) to be sentenced for public drunkenness, and each time, the Prophet would rule to have the prescribed punishment carried out. This was a common occurrence.

After `Abd Allah had departed from one of these all too frequent sentencings, one of the Companion's declared about `Abd Allah: "O Allah curse him! How often he is summoned for this!"

The Prophet (peace be upon him): rebuked that Companion, saying: "Do not curse him, for I swear by Allah, if you only knew just how very much indeed he loves Allah and His Messenger." [Sahîh al-Bukhârî (6282)] He then added: "Do not help Satan against your brother."

Thank you. My shame of becoming Americanized to the point where I feel at times I'm not worthy has stopped my progression. It's like I'm not sincere when I ask for forgiveness because I end up doing the same things that I just asked for forgiveness from. But thanks for that verse I haven't read that one in quite some time.

dont worry bruh being Americanized isn't incompatible with Islam thats just media propaganda

there are plenty of American Muslims that live true to the deen

its just tougher because of how easy it is to get caught up in the sinful life and how prevalent it is

but at the same time we will get more reward for resisting the temptation of drinking, doing drugs, having promiscuous sex etc.

So true my brother. This life is a paradise for the non believer and a test for the believers. It's so easy to get complacent and let your guard down.
