Is my purpose in this world just to pass this test? What about the dreams I want to achieve here? I want to be a scientist In Sha Allah. I want to research and find out more about the things Allah gave us in this dunia. That's okay as long as it doesn't keep me away from Allah right? I have so much I want to do and learn and achieve, is it okay to want both? Is it okay for me to strive towards all my purely worldly goals here?
Salamoalikom everyone! I am very in love with a guy in my school. At first it seemed like he liked me too, but his behavior suddenly changed. I am very heart broken because im very in love with this man. If you could. Please make dua for me that he will fall in love with me as well and suggest tips as well ❤️
It was a regular day. I wasnt expecting much but i heard my father breaking down crying, he usually doesnt do this so of course i came to checked since i was concerned. Unfourently our relative my grandfather specifically had passed away, as much as i cried there was something intresting i couldnt stop laying around my mind. I know my relative had been a great muslim from my perspective, he prayed his 5 daily prayers did daily dua recited and memorized quran. I do feel aware that hes not special for being diffrent to other great muslims but generally speaking thoose were common signs i manage to notice him doing by time when saw him doing good deeds. Now the thing i couldnt stop thinking is that he died on a friday, fridays with my current knowladge is a blessed day for muslims where jummah dhur takes place. Does this mean anything?
I’m currently in my first year of Mechanical Engineering, but I’ve realised that I may want to pursue a different career path. Initially, I chose engineering because it seemed like the most obvious option. I’ve always been passionate about comics, particularly characters like Iron Man, and I consider myself a creative person who enjoys innovation, problem-solving and the idea of making a meaningful impact on the world. However, I’ve come to realise that mechanical engineering isn’t what I expected it to be, and I’m not enjoying the course as much as I had hoped.
I’m now considering switching to either Medicine or Law. Medicine appeals to me because it involves problem-solving and making a direct difference in people’s lives. However, my main concern is the length of the training, as I’m reluctant to commit to six or more years of study.
Law, on the other hand, is something I’ve been interested in for a long time, particularly through watching real court trials and legal television programmes. However, as a Muslim, I have concerns about whether pursuing a career as a lawyer would be permissible under Islamic law.
Before making such a significant decision and potentially switching courses, I would like to understand the Islamic ruling on practising law, including whether it is permissible to work as a lawyer within the UK legal system and whether certain areas of legal practice may be more compatible with Islamic principles than others. I want to make an informed decision that aligns with both my career aspirations and my religious beliefs.
Why are we humans so ungrateful sometimes? We spend so much time longing for something we don’t have, believing that once we finally get it, our hearts will be at peace. But when we do get it, we slowly stop appreciating it, and our hearts start searching for something else.
Sometimes, even when you genuinely try to practise Sabr (patience) and Shukr (gratitude), there is still that one desire that refuses to leave your heart. You remind yourself of all the blessings Allah has given you, yet the thought keeps returning and quietly hurts you from within.
How do you teach your heart to stop longing for something that isn’t meant for you? How do you reach a point where you don’t just accept what you have, but genuinely feel content with it?
I don’t want to spend my life chasing what I don’t have and overlooking what I’ve already been blessed with.
**Has anyone experienced this? How do you make peace with an unfulfilled desire when even patience and gratitude don’t seem to quiet your heart?**
Assalaamu Alaikum,
Just wanted to share this as I thought it was amazing, maybe I am just overanalysing but
I have been learning to recite and memorise the Quran with my Quran teacher for around 1.5 months now
And my Surah this week to learn was Az-Zalzalah. I managed to learn it about 2 days ago.
I went to the masjid to pray maghrib today after not doing so last few days and the first Surah the Imam recites is Surah Az-Zalzalah
As soon as he recited it I had chills. Maybe I’m just reading too deep into it but out of all the surahs to recite
