After picking groceries in the supermarket,
the Niqabi sister stood in the line to pay. After
few minutes, her turn came up at the
checkout counter.
The checkout girl who was non Hijabi Arab
Muslim girl started to scan the items of the
Niqabi sister one buy one and then she
looked at her with arrogance and said :”we
have in France many problems,… your Niqab
is one of them!!
We, immigrants, are here for trade and not to
show our Deen or history! If you want to
practice your Deen and wear Niqab then go
back to your Arab country and do whatever
you want!!” The Niqabi sister stopped putting
her grocery in the bag and took off her
Niqab…
The checkout girl was in total shock! The
Niqabi girl who was blond with blue eyes told
her:”I am a French girl, not an Arab
immigrant! This is my country and THIS IS MY
ISLAM!! You born Muslims sold your Deen and
we bought it from you!”
end of story
This is a fact! Many revert Muslims have
stronger faith than born Muslims! SuhanAllah!
Indeed,”Islam began a stranger and, then, it
will return as it began. Then bliss to the
strangers!”

“Running From Allah’s Qadr to Allah’s Qadr”
There was a discussion between Abu
Ubaidah and `Umar (may Allah be pleased
with them both). During this discussion`Umar
decided not to proceed to his trip to ash-
Shaam, when the news reached him that
there was a plague spreading there. Thus he
decided to go back to Madinah, telling the
people “I’m returning back, thus you should
return as well”. In this incident Abu Ubaidah
did not attend Umar’s consultation with the
people and the result of the consultation.
However, when Abu Ubaidah heard of Umar’s
orders he came to `Umar asking him
“O `Umar, are you running away from Allah’s
Qadr?”
By this he was objecting to `Umar’s decision
to return back to Madinah. `Umar was
amazed by this objection raised by Abu
Ubaidah and `Umar said to him,
“O Abu Ubaidah. I wish someone other than
you would have said this. Yes. I am running
away from Allah’s Qadr to Allah’s Qadr”.
He explained this by saying, if you see a man
coming to a place where there are two areas,
one area is lush and the other barren. Don’t
you see that if he takes his cattle to the lush
area, he is doing so according to Allahs Qadr
and if he takes his cattle to the barren area,
he is also taking it by Allah’s Qadr.
♥♥♥♥♥♥
Put it another way; sometimes a individual is
confronted with a situation and it may be
totally out of ones control. Although the
individual accepts that it is from Allah, one
does not just accept it and give up. No. Rather
one repells the qadr of hunger with the qadr
of eating, the qadr of being attacked with the
qadr of defending oneself, the qadr of
poverty with the qadr of searching for work
in order to survive etc.
So whatever comes our way it is required for
us to continue along the path seeking the
pleasure of Allah by repelling one type of qadr
with another type of qadr according to the
situation that we’re in. If something does not
work, one tries doing something else until
one attains whatever it is they are trying to
attain while being patient along the way.

♥ Narrated Abu Huraira(ra) :
Allah's Messenger (may peace and blessing be
upon on him ) said, "Every night when it is the
last third of the night, our Lord, the Superior,
the Blessed, descends to the nearest heaven
and says: Is there anyone to invoke Me that I
may respond to his
invocation? Is there anyone to ask Me so that
I may grant him his request? Is there anyone
asking My forgiveness so that I may forgive
him?. "

~Istikhara -- Best Advice~
Jabir (radi Allahu anhu) stated: “As the
Prophet (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) taught us
the Quran, so also he instructed us to observe
Istikhara in every matter. The Prophet (sal
Allahu alaihi wa sallam) used to say, ‘When
anyone among you is perplexed over an
important matter, he should perform two
Rakahs of supererogatory (nafl) prayer and
then make this dua: O Allah, I ask You to show
me what is best through Your knowledge,
and bring it to pass through Your power, and
I ask You of Your immense favour; for You are
All-Powerful and I am not, You know and I do
not, and You are the Knower of the Unseen. O
Allah, if You know this matter to be better for
me in my religion, livelihood, and final
outcome, then bring it about and facilitate it
for me, and bless me with abundance therein.
And if You know this matter to be worse for
me in my religion, livelihood, and final
outcome, then keep it from me, and keep me
from it, and bring about the good for me
whatever it may be, and make me pleased
with it.’” [Sahih Bukhari]
Commentary: Istikhara means “to ask for
goodness and welfare.” Suppose you have
two job offers. Both are halal. Both are
comparable. Which one should you take? Only
Allah (subhana wa ta’ala) knows which will be
better for your Akhirah and Dunya, long-term
and short-term. There are so many hidden
factors that we cannot possibly know about.
So why not ask the One who does know and
is the Most Sincere for your welfare?
It is Sunnah (recommended) to pray two
Rakahs and then make the Istikhara dua.
However one may make the dua on its own,
or pray the two Rakahs alone with the
intention of seeking Allah’s guidance in the
matter. The two Rakahs may be prayed at any
time of day or night except for the forbidden
times of prayer. After you have sincerely
sought Allah’s guidance, then you simply
follow the course suggested to your heart or
that you find is made easy for you to do.
Rasul Allah (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said:
“One who observes Istikhara is never
disappointed, and the one who takes counsel
is never put to shame; and the one who
observes economy does not have to depend
on others.” [Tabarani]
Commentary: There are many choices we
have to make all the time. Some obvious
important matters are those related to
marriage or employment. But there are other
matters that may appear to be small but could
have far reaching consequences. Only Allah
(subhana wa ta’ala) knows what is best for
you and He is willing to give the advice for
free. Whenever you are in doubt or perplexed
regarding what to do make Istikhara, consult
Allah and ask him what to do!

Narrated by Abu Huraira (Radi-Allahu 'anhu):
I heard Allah's Apostle (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa
Sallam) saying. "All the sins of my followers
will be forgiven except those of the Mujahirin
(those who commit a sin openly or disclose
their sins to the people). An example of such
disclosure is that a person commits a sin at
night and though Allah screens it from the
public, then he comes in the morning, and
says, 'O so-and-so, I did such-and-such (evil)
deed yesterday,' though he spent his night
screened by his Lord (none knowing about
his sin) and in the morning he removes
Allah's screen from himself."
