my heart...something's wrong with it..

STEPS TO DRAW CLOSER TO ALLAH

Taken From : http://www.faithofmuslims.com/blog/?p=1692

Indeed, no one despairs of relief from Allah except the disbelieving people. (Surah Yusuf 12:87)

One must be hopeful of Allahs mercy and forgiveness and fearful of His punishment. It is this fear that should lead one to seek Allahs forgiveness with hope. Allah says:

Know that Allah is severe in punishment and that Allah is Forgiving and Merciful. (Surat al-Maaidah 5:98)

In the above verse, Allah gives us reason to fear because His punishment is justly severe, as well as good reason to have hope, since He is the Most Forgiving and Merciful. There should be a balance between fear and hope and not too much or too less of one or the other.

We should always remain between fear and hope. For, the right and the approved kind of fear is that which acts as a barrier between the slave and the things forbidden by Allah. But, if fear is excessive, then the possibility is that the man will fall into despair and pessimism.

On the other hand the approved state of optimism is of a man who does good in the light of the Shari’ah and is hopeful of being rewarded for it. Or, conversely, if a man committed a sin, he repents sincerely, and is hopeful of being forgiven. Allah (swt) said:

“Verily, those who believed, and those who migrated and fought in the way of Allah, it is they who are hopeful of Allah’s mercy. And Allah is very Forgiving, very Merciful.” (Al-Baqarah, 218)

In contrast, if a man indulges in sins and excesses, but is hopeful that he would be forgiven without doing anything good, then, this is self-deception, mere illusion and false hope. Abu ‘All Rowzbari has said, “Fear and hope are like the two wings of a bird. If they are well balanced, the flight will be well balanced. But, If one is stunted, the Right would also be stunted. And, to be sure, if the two are lost, the bird will soon be in the throes of death.” Allah has praised the people of hope and fear in the following verse:

‘Is one who worships devotedly during the night, prostrating himself or standing, fearing the Hereafter, and hoping for the mercy of his Lord (is equal to him who doesn’t do these things)?’ (Al Zumar, 9)

Hope then also demands fear. If that was not the case, one would be in a state of false security. Conversely, fear demands hope. Without that it would be despair.

Fear and hope, both should be equally proportioned in our hearts, in our worship, and in our dua to Allah. Allah says:

Call out to Him with fear and hope. (Surat al-Araaf 7:56)

They forsake their beds to call their Lord in fear and hope. (Surat as-Sajdah 32:16)

Voluntary fasting for the pleasure of Allah

Fasting in general and voluntary fasting in particular is a great worship. Fasting is not restricted to Ramadhan, but it is an act of worship that can be [and should be in some cases] performed at any time and at any place except when not recommended. Indeed, it is a worship that draws the believer closer to Allah and closer to perfection.
Intention for voluntary fasting

As opposed to Ramadan, the intention does not have to be made before dawn. The person can intend fasting [and start fasting] after dawn any time [even after noon] given that he did not eat anything.]

Fasting Mondays and Thursdays & Fasting three days of every month(White days):

“Fasting and the Qur’an will intercede for the slave on the Day of Resurrection. Fasting will say: ‘O My Rabb! I prevented him from food and desires, so accept my intercession for him.’ And the Qur’an will say: ‘I prevented him from sleep during the night, so accept my intercession for him. So let us get closer to Allah by fasting Mondays and Thursdays or at least 3 days every month on the 14th,15th and 16th. If we leave something for the pleasure of Allah then we will get MUCH greater in return!

DISCLAIMER : I TRIED TO MAKE THIS POST AS INTERESTING AS POSSIBLE. QUITE LONG. BUT BEAR WITH ME. I'M DOING THIS WITH GOOD INTENTIONS. THANKS ALL =] (& hope my english ain't that bad)

==========================================

''USA lost many lives on 9-11-01. Now, Japan has lost more lives on 3-10-11.Add the 2 dates together and you'll get 12-21-12.”

''September, 11th = World Trade Center attacks. January, 11th = Haiti Earthquake. March, 11th = Japan Earthquake.12/21/2012 When the world will end -> 1 + 2 + 2 + 1 + 2 + 0 + 1 + 2 = 11''

Now,Now...Chill before you make any assumptions (on me, i guess) I still don’t believe that it will happen on that date. Maybe Muslims and Christians would know about this more than the others. Because Only God knows.

No prophet or angel know when will it happen. But we have been warned with the signs for the ‘end of time’ (sadly, so many has happened, especially more natural disasters)

It’s near definitely. But where is the Antichrist (Dajjal) ? Where is Mahdi? Where is JESUS (pbuh) ?? still not here yet. Will they arrive? Yes according to Islam and Christianity.

And in the Quran & hadiths and even in the bible. The predictions from the past is happening right infront of our eyes. And yet many of us fail to notice. If noticed, then fail to be awakened. (not yet, i hope)

==========================================================

So about 2012. The patterns. The ‘signs’ that 2012 is the year, take a look at this video. =]

So is it all planned?. They’re preparing a strike and make it big on 12/21/2012? That could destroy the whole world? To make ppl believe that it’s REALLY the end of the world (if it’s happening)

We have no proof that 2012 will the end of the day.(well unless if u believe in the Mayan calendar) To non-muslims, God might planned this (all the signs about 2012)..but as muslims, Allah has his own ways and Quran and hadiths showed them. I’m not gonna’ believe mere humans (to some extent).. Christians should believe in their bible too rather than these ppl.

with the technologies and greed for power and money nowadays, NOTHING is impossible. Remember The Two Massive Atomic Bombs Which Dismembered Japan?
They could just easily put these type of bombs underground and there u go, a man-made earthquake. (SINGAPORE will be no more if that happen -.- )

So a man-made disaster is never impossible. HOW?? take a look at this.

.

H.A.A.R.P = A MASS DESTRUCTIVE WEAPON COMPANY

From what i read, many ppl on youtube are suspecting them for the earthquake in Haiti.

SO IF IT IS REALLY FROM THEM,THEN THERE YOU GO, JAPAN, NEW ZEALAND, HAITI.....and many more...are their (secret societies) ‘sneak-preview’ =/

==========================================================

HERE’S A SIDETRACK BUT STILL RELATED. =]

when MJ died, 2 other artistes were killed.
when Aaliyah died, 2 other artistes died too.
According to Latoya Jackson, it’s USUALLY IN THREE.
check out the video ''exposing the music industry'',
How MJ, Eminem, DMX..and some other artistes.. all trying to escape 'illuminati'' .. and because of that, they were being framed.. and if exposed, (MJ did exposed them)... they will be killed.

GET IT? WERE THESE DEATHS PLANNED TOO? =/

plus MJ was on the verge of converting into Islam. they killed him before he managed to (hope Allah accepts him)... because if he did convert, imagine how many ppl would follow Islam because of him. (History channel, Believing that he was being murdered)

BECAUSE MANY PEOPLE EASILY BELIEVED THE MEDIA AND JUST ASSUME THAT ISLAM IS EVIL. Im not thanking you for that.

There are 68,000 Islam converts everyday after 9/11. People wanna learn more bout us after that incident, so you ppl should too. Please.

Thank You.

Eminem's latest album 'recovery', he’s trying to run away from Illuminati. (watch the full series of the video mentioned above and u will DEFINITELY get me). If you’re lazy. The video explained what i have mentioned. More or less.

STILL, THESE ARE ALL UP TO YOU. YOU CHOOSE WHETHER TO BELIEVE IT OR NOT. IN MY CASE, I SUGGEST HAVING FAITH IN GOD. AND KNOW THAT GOD DO ALL THESE THINGS FOR HIS GOOD REASONS.

AND KEEP THIS IN MIND ALWAYS.

GOD IS NOT EVIL. WE HUMANS ARE.

======================================================================

So Many Things Running In My Head..........

I Need To Talk to God..

MY SINS BLOCK MY DUA

As I sit here alone, the tears rolling down my face
It is not salt, but pain that I taste

So I leave now to go stand before You
I am helpless and alone, what else can I do?

I have asked, I have begged but my sins block my du'a
I will come now still begging, forgive me O Allah

Forgive me and grant me what it is that I ask
For me it is impossible but for You a simple task

I try and I try but I do not succeed
But I understand and know it is because Your Words I do not heed

I hear, yes I hear but I do not always obey
Perhaps that is why I am destitute, isolated and why You have written that I will be alone this way

I have no to blame but the person in the mirror I see
No one else must pay for my sins, no one else, no one else, no one else but me

So I stand before You to again beg forgiveness because You said that I can
You have told us in Your Book that You are Ar-Rahman

I will ask, I will beg but my sins block my du'a
But I will keep asking, forgive me O Allah...
