The Revelation of Surat Abasa

January 1, 2019 by admin

One day, the Prophet Mohammed (pbuh) was sitting at Ka’aba calling Quraysh top unbelievers to Islam.

Among the group were:

  • Abu Jahl
  • Utbah ibn Rabi’ah
  • Shaybah bin Rabi’ah
  • Abdulla Bin Khalaf and others

The Prophet Mohammed (pbuh) was hoping and contemplating that they get guided, as this will make many others enter Islam and result in great change in Mecca.

The beloved Prophet (pbuh) was busy sitting with them, But, suddenly, he was interrupted by a blind man (Abd-Allah ibn Umm-Maktum). He came and sat near the Prophet Mohammed (pbuh).

As he is a blind man, he couldn’t see the situation and how busy the Prophet (pbuh) was.

Abd-Allah ibn Umm-Maktum started calling the Prophet (pbuh) to ask him some questions (interrupting).

Abd-Allah ibn Umm-Maktum who was apparently poor, so that no one took notice of him. He wanted to learn the Qur’an and asked the Prophet (pbuh) to teach him.

He repeated his statement again and again, because he did not know exactly whom he was talking to.

Now, the Prophet (pbuh) between 2 things:

  • Continue the conversation with Qurash people that may Allah guide them to Islam.
  • Or leave them and go the blind man that needs answers to his questions.

The blind man is calling the Prophet Mohammed (pbuh) and Quraysh people are talking to him. Even some of those unbelievers felt uncomfortable that this blind man sat near them.

The Prophet Mohammed’s face (pbuh) frowned in front of the blind man. Even though that he is blind can can’t see the face of the Prophet (pbuh), but Allah certainly sees.

As a result, Allah (swt) revealed the following ayat from Surat Ababs:

سورة عبس – سعد الغامدي Surat Abasa – Sa’ad Al Ghamedi

عَبَسَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ (1) أَن جَاءَهُ الْأَعْمَىٰ (2) وَمَا يُدْرِيكَ لَعَلَّهُ يَزَّكَّىٰ (3) أَوْ يَذَّكَّرُ فَتَنفَعَهُ الذِّكْرَىٰ (4) أَمَّا مَنِ اسْتَغْنَىٰ (5) فَأَنتَ لَهُ تَصَدَّىٰ (6) وَمَا عَلَيْكَ أَلَّا يَزَّكَّىٰ (7) وَأَمَّا مَن جَاءَكَ يَسْعَىٰ (8) وَهُوَ يَخْشَىٰ (9) فَأَنتَ عَنْهُ تَلَهَّىٰ (10) كَلَّا إِنَّهَا تَذْكِرَةٌ (11)

  • (1) The Prophet frowned and turned away
  • (2) Because there came to him the blind man, [interrupting].
  • (3) But what would make you perceive, [O Muhammad], that perhaps he might be purified
  • (4) Or be reminded and the remembrance would benefit him?
  • (5) As for he who thinks himself without need,
  • (6) To him you give attention.
  • (7) And not upon you [is any blame] if he will not be purified.
  • (8) But as for he who came to you striving [for knowledge]
  • (9) While he fears [Allah],
  • (10) From him you are distracted.
  • (11) No! Indeed, these verses are a reminder;

Allah (swt) admonished the Prophet (pbuh)

This Sura proves that Holy Quran is the words of Allah (swt) and not the words of Prophet Mohammed (pbuh), as Quraysh used to accuse the Prophet Mohammed (pbuh) that this book is from his own words.

Who would write about in admonition of himself?

Proof This book is the words of Allah (swt)

Allah (swt) proved to us that this Quran is his book, and even if you deal with a blind man that can’t see you, you should treat him as Allah (swt) is seeing you.

Even though this story have an admonition to Allah’s Prophet, but it has a great benefit for all the Muslims nation.

The Prophet Mohammed (pbuh) Honors Abd-Allah

At the moments these verses are revealed, the Prophet (pbuh) always held this man in high honor. Whenever he see him, he used to tell him:

“Hail to the one for whom Allah admonished me.”


Allah (swt) Honors His Prophet

Allah (swt) says in beginning of the Sura: “He (the Prophet) frowned and turned away” and didn’t say “You frowned and turned away”. Allah (swt) honors his when addressing him.

As the direct admonition is more severe than the admonition of the absent. This is the admonition of the lover, then Allah (swt) says:

(3) But what would make you perceive, [O Muhammad], that perhaps he might be purified

Abd-Allah ibn Umm-Maktum

Abdullah Ibn Umm-Maktum was the son of Qays Ibn Zayd and Aatikah Bint Abdullah. He was blind by birth and hence his mother was called Umm-Maktum (Mother of the concealed one).

Ibn Umm-Maktum was a cousin of Khadijah bint Khuwaylid, Muhammad’s first wife.

Abdullah Ibn Umm-Maktum was among the first converts to Islam. Prophet Mohammed (pbuh) sent him and Musab ibn Umair to Medina for teaching Qur’an to the inhabitants before the Hijra took place.

He and Bilal Ibn Rabah were chosen as muezzins in Medina by The Prophet Mohammed (pbuh).

When The Prophet Mohammed (pbuh) left Medina for participating in battles, he was given the responsibility of leading the prayers.

What We’ve Learned So Far?

  • We should accept the knowledge seeker
  • There should be no distinction between rich and poor in the call for Allah (swt).
  • You do not have to deny anyone but the communication and excuses.
  • A statement of honor for the Prophet (pbuh) as he was addressed in the form of absent.
  • Proof the honesty of Prophet Mohammed (pbuh) in his call to Islam.
  • Proof this book is the words of Allah and not the Prophet (pbuh), as Allah’s admonition for his messenger.
  • Every time Ibn Maktum comes to the Prophet (pbuh), he opens the space of setting for him, makes him sit near him and say: “Hail to the one for whom Allah admonished me.”
  • The title of “blind” mentioned in the Sura to show the companion’s excuse in interrupting the Prophet Mohammed (pbuh) speech.

The Importance Of True Tawba With Allah

December 30, 2018 by admin

In the last post we spoke about when you become honest with Allah (swt), Allah will fulfill our wish.

Today, we’re going to mention a story of a man who made a fake repentance with Allah and didn’t keep his promise with Allah (swt).

Mansoor ibn Ammar said: I had a friend who was very abusive on himself and then repented, and I used to see him a lot doing worship and defamation, so I haven’t seen him for days.

I been told that: he is sick. I went to his house, his daughter came out and said: Who do you want? I said: So, so and then I entered and found him in the middle of the house, lying on his bed, his face blackened, his eyes gleamed, and his lips grew thicker.

I said to him and I am afraid of him: my brother increase of saying there is no god but Allah, and he opened his eyes and looked at me, and he lost consciousness.

Then I said to him the second time: my brother increase of saying there is no god but Allah and then said it the third time: He opened his eyes and said, “My brother Mansour, a barrier has been put between me and this word.

I said: There is no power but God Almighty, and then I said to him: O brother, where is that prayer and fasting and Tahjd that you used to do, he said:

This was for for Allah and my repentance was false, but I did that, so people can say about me and to remember me. And I was doing that as a hypocrisy of people, if I went home and were by myself, closed the door, windows and drink alcohol, and fought my Lord by these sins.

And I continued on this situation for some period of time then got ill. I called my daughter to bring me the Quran and said:

Oh God, In the sake of this great Quran, only if you have cured me, I promise you that I ‘ll never go back to sin.

And when I was cured I went back to what I had been of pleasure and pleasure and the devil made me forget the covenant that was between me and my Lord.

I continued on this situation for some period of time until I got ill and were about to die. I called my family and asked them to take me to the middle of the house.

As usual, I asked for Quran, read it and raised it with my hands my made a supplication to Allah and said:

O Allah, for the sake of the sanctity of what is in this Quran, If you have cured me, I promise you that I’lll never go back to sin.

Allah accepted my prayer and cured me from what I been suffering from, then I returned to what I had been doing of pleasure and sings again then I got ill with this illness.

I called my family and asked them to take me to the middle of the house as you see me now, then I made dua’a with Quran to read it, but I didn’t see a single letter!

I knew that God Almighty was angry at me and I lifted my head to the sky and said:

O Allah, for the sake of the sanctity of what is in this Quran, If you have cured me, I promise you that I’lll never go back to sin. O the might of earth and heaves.

Then I heard something like a caller saying to me:

تتوب عن الــذنوب إذا مرضتـــا وترجع للذنــوب إذا برئتـــا| فكـم من كـربة نجاك منهـــا وكم گشف البلاء إذا بليتــــا | أما تخشي بأن تأتي المنايا وأنت على الخطايا قد دهیتا

Repent for sins if you are ill and return to sins when you cured, How many of the sins that Allah rescued you from and how many time removed the scourge from you. Don’t you fear if death comes to you and you are on your sins.

Said Mansour bin Ammar: I left him and my eyes full to tears, once I reached the door step, I been told that he died.

Be Sincere Toward Allah, Allah Will Fulfill Your Wish

December 30, 2018 by admin

How many of us had difficult situations in life and made sincere prayer to Allah (swt) and the response came blazing fast? I just want you to sit, relax and thing of these past situations. Yet, most of us forget the provision of Allah (swt) on us.V

When you are truly sincere and honest with Allah in your dua’a, then the acceptance of dua’a will come soon. Be honest with Allah so Allah trust you.

Today’s story about a pregnant woman who’s her husband were outside of the city for some reason. The woman is from a very poor family, but she is know as a God Fearing person.

The mother is telling her story: “One night, me, my new born daughter and my father spent the night with no dinner. The daughter’s body temperature raised really high”.

She adds “I was doing the following to treat her”:

  • Put wet rugs on her forehead and body to bring the temperature down
  • Pray 2 Ruka’a
  • Finish my prayer, make new wet rug for my daughter and pray again.

The Unexpected Visit

Someone was knocking their door around 2:00 am. She says: “My father went really quick to the door to see who is knocking their door at such late time! I put my Hijab on and followed my father”.

The mother’s father is asking the knocker: “Who is this?”. The knocker replays: “It’s me the DOCTOR!”.

What a shock! They opened the door and the doctor immediately said: “Where is the SICK Baby?”.

They guided him to the room. When the doctor diagnosed the baby and wrote a prescription for her, he went at the doorstep of the house and waited.

One minute past, one more minute, a few more minutes, and the mother were shy to shut the door as he was still waiting at the doorstep.

Finally, the doctor looks the at mother and say: “O sister, hurry up please”. The sister replies: “Yes doctor, but what you really asking for?”. The doctor says: “The price of the visit”.

The mother says: “I swear to Allah that we have no money to pay for the visit.” The doctor says: “Don’t you feel shamed to call me on the phone and wake me up at 1:30 am to come see your baby and you have no money to pay me?!”

The mother says: “I’m so sorry doctor, but we even don’t have a phone in this house”.

This shocked him and said: “Wait a minute, isn’t this the house of family?”. The mother responses: ” That’s our neighbor’s house NEXT door!”.

The Reward Of Honesty with Allah

The doctor realized the situation and asked them for a permission to get inside of their house to listen to their story. The doctor said to the mother: “I swear by Allah, that he only made me leave the house just for you and for your daughter”.

The mother cried. The doctor went to get the medications for the daughter and brought with him a dinner for the family and granted them a monthly income from his own wealth.

This is the power of being honest with Allah.

This is a real story from our time, however we’re going to mention the following story between Prophet Mohammed (pbuh) and a man among Bedouins in this authentic hadith.

The Hadith

It was narrated from Shaddad bin Al-Had that: a man from among the Bedouins came to the Prophet and believed in him and followed him, then he said: “I will emigrate with you.” The Prophet told one of his Companions to look after him. During one battle the Prophet got some prisoners as spoils of war, and he distributed them, giving him (that Bedouin) a share. His Companions gave him what had been allocated to him. He had been looking after some livestock for them, and when he came they gave him his share. He said: “What is this?” They said: “A share that the Prophet has allocated to you.” He took it and brought it to the Prophet and said: “What is this?” He said: “I allocated it to your.” He said: “It is not for this that I follwed you. Rather I followed you so that I might be shot her – and he pointed to his throat – with an arrow and die and enter Paradise.” He said: “If you are sincere toward Allah, Allah will fulfill your wish.” Shortly after that they got up to fight the enemy, then he was brought to the Prophet; he had pointed to. The Prophet said: “Is it him?” They said: “yes.” He said: “He was sincere toward Allah and Allah fulfilled his wish.” Then the Prophet shrouded him in his own cloak and out him in front of him and offered the (funeral) prayer for him. During his supplication he said: “O allah, this is Your sloave who went out as a emigrant (Muhajir) for your sake and was killed as a martyr; I am a witness to that.: (Sahih) .

أَخْبَرَنَا سُوَيْدُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي عِكْرِمَةُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ، أَنَّ ابْنَ أَبِي عَمَّارٍ، أَخْبَرَهُ عَنْ شَدَّادِ بْنِ الْهَادِ، أَنَّ رَجُلاً، مِنَ الأَعْرَابِ جَاءَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَآمَنَ بِهِ وَاتَّبَعَهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ أُهَاجِرُ مَعَكَ ‏.‏ فَأَوْصَى بِهِ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم بَعْضَ أَصْحَابِهِ فَلَمَّا كَانَتْ غَزْوَةٌ غَنِمَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم سَبْيًا فَقَسَمَ وَقَسَمَ لَهُ فَأَعْطَى أَصْحَابَهُ مَا قَسَمَ لَهُ وَكَانَ يَرْعَى ظَهْرَهُمْ فَلَمَّا جَاءَ دَفَعُوهُ إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ مَا هَذَا قَالُوا قِسْمٌ قَسَمَهُ لَكَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏.‏ فَأَخَذَهُ فَجَاءَ بِهِ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ مَا هَذَا قَالَ ‏”‏ قَسَمْتُهُ لَكَ ‏”‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ مَا عَلَى هَذَا اتَّبَعْتُكَ وَلَكِنِّي اتَّبَعْتُكَ عَلَى أَنْ أُرْمَى إِلَى هَا هُنَا – وَأَشَارَ إِلَى حَلْقِهِ بِسَهْمٍ – فَأَمُوتَ فَأَدْخُلَ الْجَنَّةَ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ ‏”‏ إِنْ تَصْدُقِ اللَّهَ يَصْدُقْكَ ‏”‏ ‏.‏ فَلَبِثُوا قَلِيلاً ثُمَّ نَهَضُوا فِي قِتَالِ الْعَدُوِّ فَأُتِيَ بِهِ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يُحْمَلُ قَدْ أَصَابَهُ سَهْمٌ حَيْثُ أَشَارَ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏”‏ أَهُوَ هُوَ ‏”‏ ‏.‏ قَالُوا نَعَمْ ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏”‏ صَدَقَ اللَّهَ فَصَدَقَهُ ‏”‏ ‏.‏ ثُمَّ كَفَّنَهُ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِي جُبَّةِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم ثُمَّ قَدَّمَهُ فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ فَكَانَ فِيمَا ظَهَرَ مِنْ صَلاَتِهِ ‏”‏ اللَّهُمَّ هَذَا عَبْدُكَ خَرَجَ مُهَاجِرًا فِي سَبِيلِكَ فَقُتِلَ شَهِيدًا أَنَا شَهِيدٌ عَلَى ذَلِكَ ‏”‏ ‏.‏

With Every Difficulty There is Relief

November 8, 2018 by admin

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ

 

Today’s topic is about difficulties and relief.  Everyone of us go through hardship, but always the relief comes.

 

The Lost Man in The Open Sea

 

A severe storm hit a ship in the sea and sank it. Some of the passengers survived, among them is the man that we are telling you about in this story. The raging waves took him to a beach of an unknown and deserted island. Once the man woke, he tried to stand, but he fell on his knees and then realized that there is no way out only by seeking Allah’s help. He started praying and making supplications to Allah so he can be rescued.

The Island had no source for living except a few trees with fruits. Days past and the man were eating from the trees fruits, hunting fish, and drinking from a ground water fountain and built his house from the wooden parts of trees.

 

The Hardship Became Harder

 

One day, he was preparing his food on fire around his wooden cottage. He want for a short walk and returned to his cottage.  He found that the fire not only burned his food, but burned the whole cottage.

The man started screaming, shouting and saying: “O Lord, why?, O Lord, why? Even the cottage had been burned down. I have nothing left in this life! I have been patient on many difficulties and now these difficulties are increased!”.

As a result of the sadness, compassion and hunger, the man fell asleep. In the following morning,  there were a surprise awaiting for him.

 

 The Relief Came Along With The Difficulty

 

He found a ship approaching the island and bringing down a small boat to save him. When the man got on the deck he asked them how they found him, they responded:

“We saw smoke, so we knew someone was asking for rescue”

 

But perhaps you hate a thing and it is good for you

The mankind sees the poverty as a calamity, the burning of his house as a calamity, while he dose not   know Allah’s wisdom behind it. Allah (swt) telling us in Surat Al Baqaraa, that we perhaps hate a thing and it is good for us.

وَعَسَىٰ أَن تَكْرَهُوا شَيْئًا وَهُوَ خَيْرٌ لَّكُمْ ۖ وَعَسَىٰ أَن تُحِبُّوا شَيْئًا وَهُوَ شَرٌّ لَّكُمْ ۗ وَاللَّهُ يَعْلَمُ وَأَنتُمْ لَا تَعْلَمُونَ (216)

But perhaps you hate a thing and it is good for you; and perhaps you love a thing and it is bad for you. And Allah Knows, while you know not.

Now, I want you to think of how the lost man reacted to the burning of his cottage. Another great short story mentioned in Quran between Al Khuder and Prophet Musa (pbuh).

 

Al Khuder Breaks The Ship After He Gets A Free Ride

If we look at the story between Musa (pbuh) and Alkuder, we see when Al Khuder broke the ship that belonged to the orphan kids after they gave Al Khuder a free ride,  Musa (pbuh) objected and condemned that action. We see that a such action is not acceptable, not logical and doesn’t make sense.  But Allah (swt) commanded Al Khuder to do so for a great wisdom. The ship had been saved from being confiscation by the tyrant Ruler.

Always remember:

وَعَسَىٰ أَن تَكْرَهُوا شَيْئًا وَهُوَ خَيْرٌ لَّكُمْ ۖ وَعَسَىٰ أَن تُحِبُّوا شَيْئًا وَهُوَ شَرٌّ لَّكُمْ ۗ وَاللَّهُ يَعْلَمُ وَأَنتُمْ لَا تَعْلَمُونَ (216)

But perhaps you hate a thing and it is good for you; and perhaps you love a thing and it is bad for you. And Allah Knows, while you know not.

 

Dear readers, I haven’t got to the point yet. It’s too early!

Allah (swt) says in Surat Al – Sharh:

 فَإِنَّ مَعَ الْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا (5) إِنَّ مَعَ الْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا (6)

 

(5) For indeed, with hardship [will be] ease.
(6) Indeed, with hardship [will be] ease.
It is the promise of Allah, which is truth, and who is more truthful than Allah in statement. Allah promised that when there is a difficulty, a relief will come with it, NOT after it!


Surat Al – Sharh

 

https://masjidisa.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Surat-AlSharh.mp3

 

Surah al-Inshirah acts as a form of consolation and encouragement for Muslims. It intends to boost up the morale of believers, especially if they are going through dark and gloomy phases.
Allah declares beautifully, Indeed, with every difficulty, comes relief.” He repeats it to emphasize the message. Allah demands us to turn all attention to Him and worship Him Alone.


One Know Difficulty Comes 2 Unknown Reliefs

From the Arabic language approach (The language of Quran), we see that Allah (swt) mentioned the Difficulty in the verse “known” followed after “The”. Allah uses the Relief as “Unknown” and the verses are repeated for extra emphasizing of the message.

 

فَإِنَّ مَعَ الْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا (5) إِنَّ مَعَ الْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا (6)

In both verses, the “Difficulty” is known and the same one single difficulty, while the relief is unknown in each verse, so there are 2 reliefs come with every single difficulty.

 

A Single Difficulty Won’t Beat 2 Reliefs

 

Umar ibn Al-Khattāb been told that Abu Ubaidah ibn al-Jarrah and his army are surrounded by the Enemy in  Sham.
Umar wrote a letter to Abu Ubaidah and included: ” Al Salam Alaik, there is no single servant goes through a hardship, without Allah making for him a way out and brings relief. A Single Difficulty Won’t Beat 2 Reliefs”.
Omar added the following Aya to his letter:
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اصْبِرُوا وَصَابِرُوا وَرَابِطُوا وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُفْلِحُونَ (200)
(200) O you who have believed, persevere and endure and remain stationed and fear Allah that you may be successful.
Abu Ubaidah replies: “Al Salam Alaik, Allah (swt) says in his book”:
اعْلَمُوا أَنَّمَا الْحَيَاةُ الدُّنْيَا لَعِبٌ وَلَهْوٌ وَزِينَةٌ وَتَفَاخُرٌ بَيْنَكُمْ وَتَكَاثُرٌ فِي الْأَمْوَالِ وَالْأَوْلَادِ ۖ كَمَثَلِ غَيْثٍ أَعْجَبَ الْكُفَّارَ نَبَاتُهُ ثُمَّ يَهِيجُ فَتَرَاهُ مُصْفَرًّا ثُمَّ يَكُونُ حُطَامًا ۖ وَفِي الْآخِرَةِ عَذَابٌ شَدِيدٌ وَمَغْفِرَةٌ مِّنَ اللَّهِ وَرِضْوَانٌ ۚ وَمَا الْحَيَاةُ الدُّنْيَا إِلَّا مَتَاعُ الْغُرُورِ (20)
(20) Know that the life of this world is but amusement and diversion and adornment and boasting to one another and competition in increase of wealth and children – like the example of a rain whose [resulting] plant growth pleases the tillers; then it dries and you see it turned yellow; then it becomes [scattered] debris. And in the Hereafter is severe punishment and forgiveness from Allah and approval. And what is the worldly life except the enjoyment of delusion.

Secrets of Coupling Between Relief and Difficulty

 

When a difficulty becomes harsher, sharper and greater, then, the servant becomes hopeless from all other creations except Allah the Creator, His heart is attached to Allah alone, and then and only then the relief comes in no time.  This is the fact of trusting Allah. Allah (swt) says:

 وَمَن يَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى اللَّهِ فَهُوَ حَسْبُهُ

And whoever relies upon Allah – then He is sufficient for him.

Please refer to the following Story and Aya post regarding the mentioned Aya.

 

Back To Our Lost Man Story

Allah (swt) telling us in many verses, for instance, Surat Al Annam Aya 63, that Allah is the only one who rescue us when we get lost in the darkness of seas. There we forgot all our world world and our hearts become attached purely and sincerely to Allah (swt). Then Allah response comes blazing fast as this the truth trust in Allah.

قُلْ مَن يُنَجِّيكُم مِّن ظُلُمَاتِ الْبَرِّ وَالْبَحْرِ تَدْعُونَهُ تَضَرُّعًا وَخُفْيَةً لَّئِنْ أَنجَانَا مِنْ هَٰذِهِ لَنَكُونَنَّ مِنَ الشَّاكِرِينَ (63)

(63) Say, “Who rescues you from the darknesses of the land and sea [when] you call upon Him imploring [aloud] and privately, ‘If He should save us from this [crisis], we will surely be among the thankful.’ “

 

The Law Of Tension (Difficulty) and Facilitation (Relief)

 

Brothers and sisters, we are not done yet, I have only touched the surface of this big important topic.

In Quran there are many Laws and Rules from Allah (swt). For hardship and relief there is a law as well. If anyone of us applies it, he guarantees a happy pleasant life and the great reward in the hereafter.

Before I can send you the Law of Difficulty and Relief and how to apply it to you daily life, I want to ask you a few questions:

  • Are you going through a lot of difficulties and not finding a way out?
  • Doors of facilitation are closed in front of your face?
  • You desperately making great efforts and taking all the available means towards accomplishing materialistic needed goals like marriage, employment or buying a house and not getting a positive result?

If any of the above applies to you and / or you want to know the Law of Difficulty and Relief from Quran, then please subscribe to the Masjid’s mailing list and we will send you the content directly to your inbox In Sha’a Allah.

 

Why We Ask People Before We Send Them The Mentioned Material Via Email?

We really want to make sure that you have read this post carefully and benefited from it and willing to learn the next steps towards how to apply the Law of  Difficulty and Relief.

 

What We’ve Learned So Far?

  • With every difficulty comes 2 reliefs with it
  • One single difficulty won’t beat 2 reliefs
  • Truly and sincerely trusting Allah, brings the instant relief
  • There are much more to the story – It’s the law of difficulty and relief
