AHWACE FEATURE: Ramadan Special-After hardship will always come ease Inspiration: the Quran (for Productive Muslim’s Mission Ramadan)

Assalamualaikumwarahmatullahiwabarakatuhu.A’udhubillahiminashaitanirajeem.Bismillahirahmaniraheem.

((May the peace, mercy, and blessings of Allah be with you).(I seek protection in Allah swt from the accursed shaitan/devil/satan).(In the name of God, the Most Kind, the Most Merciful)).

Hi everyone. I hope your all well Inshallah/God willing and in the best of health (an Iman for you Muslims-have the best of faith in God Almighty).

Today,I’m doing a very special post indeed.

I’m actually writing this post before I publish it , because the day you see this (Inshallah) will be on the 20th of September and hopefully that will be the last day of Ramadan!! So Ramadan Mubarak for a final day to you all and an Eid Mubarak too! However, it may also be posted on Eid, so either way, I hope that you have a blessed Ramadan and Eid Inshallah!

In case if for some reason don’t finish the post, then what I have in plan, in mind to write here Inshallah is: about how we are promised ease after our hardships in life in the Quran. I may quote some ahadith too (sayings of the Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. peace be upon him).

This blog-helping out people in need

Ok,so to start off the actual writing for the post. Well, hmm where to start? Ok, so a lot of people mashallah, (Alhamdulillah THANK GOD )have given in their stories and I think it’s making quite an impact on people especially young people like me, teens out there…there’s alot of you who are suffering and with this blog you can get help and know that you’re not alone in this cold dark world..there is light out there for us all Inshallah/God willing. So yeah if you know anyone who is suffering, or is you are please send the stories in. And please most of all do help! All it is-a few simple comments which make a huge impact on people’s lives.

Charity

And also if you’re a charitable person, or if you care about people in need then you will help hopefully Inshallah in the SocialVibe charity thing for TWLOHA (to write love on ger arms) it’s a charity to help prevent suicide. Just look to your right of this website under ‘socialvibe’ and read it and click and rate and that’s it. It’s free and you’ve donated to charity!

Intentions

Ok, back to the hardship2ease thing lol. Well, the reasons I wrote this post was first for the sake of Allah swt, to please God and have the best of intentions, to have the same intention as that of Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. if he was doing something similar to me and to spread Islam and to help people, I truly want to help you guys. Like this is a blog where i help those who are in need, in trouble and stuff, and I’ll tell you my views, like Islamic views also if you want on the matters.

Tough Life? tried everything and don’t know what to do?

‘Cause like say someones life is really messed up and they don’t know what to do…

Ok. Well let me say this: are you a self harmer or suicidal or have a similar situation to that of the people who post their life stories here? Ok. You’ve tried everything you can think of. From bad to good. Like your life was terrible, you were in such bad circumstances, so you might’ve started to self harm. Or you didn’t think it was worth living life, so you tried killing yourself, but failed. Or you’d never harm yourself but you started hurting others or get hurt, like physically and mentally getting or doing abuse to others. You’re a bully or you’ve been bullied. Or maybe you’ve tried writing it all down, you’ve tried the breathing techniques and the art and poems and taking photos and drawing your feelings out and even gone to a therapist or counsellor and all of that but seriously nothing has helped you. You can’t even talk to a friend about your problems.

^<——Well what to do if you’re in that situation??

Honestly, like really no offence to anyone, and if you don’t take the following advice then well it’s your own choice but I’m just saying ’cause maybe you don’t know or you’re willing to try anything so give it a go:

PRAY TO GOD

Yes. Pray for help, pray for forgiveness. Ask. God listens to us. I’m a Muslim and we believe that Allah hears our duas/prayers. When a believer calls God answers our prayers INSHALLAH!!

Islamic views on ease after hardships

One quote-the quote which is so great gave me the idea of this website-promises us ease after our hardships :

“Verily, with hardship comes ease.” – Al Quran (94:5-6)

If you read verses from the Quran, it is easy to see that in this life we are going to suffer hardships.

20:118 So We said: “O Adam, this is an enemy to you and your mate. So do not let him take you out from paradise, else you will have hardship.”

But remember that Allah s.w.t. (God) has also promised ease.

Find patience.

Struggle with it.

Pray.

And realise there is ease to come afterwards. (Inshallah/God willing)

94:7 So with hardship comes ease.
94:8 With hardship comes ease.

But remember, in Islam we believe that, yes we are promised ease after our hardships-but the ease may be in this life OR THE NEXT/THE HEREAFTER/AFTERLIFE! So yeah..alotta patience for some of us, but in the end it will all turn out ok.

But, if you’re not going to do anything, don’t expect anything back please. God is Most Forgiving, so we don’t know how everything will turn out, who will go Heaven or Hell-God decides..but the thing is we’re commanded by God to do certain things in life. Like pray and NOT SELF HARM AND NOT COMMIT SUICIDE. Trust me, I know that it gets hard in life, but please don’t ever hurt yourself. God gave you this body, so that you may take care of it, not harm it and no matter how hard it ever gets NEVER ever kill yourself. It’s not the answer. And about suicide-well in Islam we believe that if you kill yourself, basically your gonna regret it after!<—–Wait, did I just say that????Huh??Yes I did! Lol. I know it sounds strange, but it’s true. We believe that if you kill yourself, you taking a blessing away-your life which God gave you. So there’s a punishment. In Hell. To kill yourself in the same manner in which you did your suicide over and over and over again. I think it’s 70,000 times a day So, the pains not going to go away, it’s just gonna get worse. You’ll kill yourself and then be bought back to life and then die all over again. And if your not Muslim and don’t believe that, well believe this: suicide has a terrible after effect. It destroys families. The lives of your friends will be shattered.

So yeah, what I’m saying is, keep at it yeah Don’t ever gie up hope. Whatever difficulty/trials/tribulations/hardships/abuse that you are going through-it will get better! Just believe. Have hope. Pray. And don’t ever give in. Please talk to a friend or even a specialist like a psychologist or therapist. But sometimes, what you really need is a person that you can honestly trust, like you can pour your heart out at them, tell them your secrets and they’ll listen and it will hopefully help you and make you better. But sadly, not everyone has this kind of friend. Which is why I made this blog, so if any of you really need some help and want to talk, here is the place.

Inshallah everything will be ok for you all.

May Allah s.w.t. bless you all for coming here and reading this and grant you the ease after hardships Inshallah. Ameen.

HARDSHIP2EASE INSPIRATION 8 (A Reminder)-It’s us,human’s who spread evil…and God will be the judge of us all. We WILL get what we deserve.

Assalamualaikumwarahmatullahiwabarakatuhu.

A’udhubillahiminashaitanirajeem.Bismillahirahmaniraheem.

((May the peace, mercy, and blessings of Allah be with you).

(I seek protection in Allah swt from the accursed shaitan/devil/satan).

(In the name of God, the Most Kind, the Most Merciful)).

This is a reminder for us all.What goes around comes around. So that’s why we should love our our brother/neighbour etc what we love for ourselves. God will judge us for who we are. Every atoms worth of good and bad deeds, every single act you do in this life, will be presented to your in your Hereafter,and we shall ALL be judged accordingly.

Heres my story or i like to think of it as my *legacy*. Nah, just my experience. Good things happen to bad people and bad things happen to good people. Makes me wonder. I used to think that the laws about criminals and stuff were like, almost totally applied to everyone. But guess not, cause no one knows what some else is or was thinking, unless you are the **mentalist** ( i don’t believe it but a wicked shw never-the-less). Well, i can’t prove that it was not so and so’s fault or that it was infact who and who’s fault. Also, makes me think, the cliche, why would God do this to me????/ But newsflash to my self , not God, its us, yes us, humans who are spreading evil and — and whatnot, and then it makes me glad, that God is there and is the judge and is just and it makes me UBER SUPER GLAD, that God is with us.

I mean, i’m not depressed or a drug addict or an abuser and what nots and who nots but i can see the hardship other people face and its just like, you’ll get what you deserve, don’t you worry. And this goes both ways, good people will get good things and bad people will get bad things.

Ahwace Post 12-18 year old girl, self-harmer, abused, needs help to stop cutting

Assalamualaikumwarahmatullahiwabarakatuhu.

A’udhubillahiminashaitanirajeem.Bismillahirahmaniraheem.

((May the peace, mercy, and blessings of Allah be with you).

(I seek protection in Allah (Subhanahu-wata’Allah) from the accursed Shaitan/devil/satan).

(In the name of God, the Most Kind, the Most Merciful)).

Here is the patiently-awaited new post. This girls been waiting a while for me to post this,and finally I have. Thanks for writing in MeltingAway,and I sincerely hope your life turns around for you. Pray to God for help and guidance. Take care.

Hello.

I’m an 18 year old girl…and well I have a few problems in life.

Life for me has always been good, but now everything just seems bad.
I don’t know why I’m writing on this site atm, but I guess it’s because I feel alone and confused.

The main thing I wanted advice on…was the fact that I get abused by my father…and I don’t know how to deal with it.

I also don’t understand why I don’t have any close friends. I am a popular girl at my college and I get along with many people…but for some reason I don’t have any close friends. And I wanted to ask…how I could change that…because I am a nice person so I don’t understand why people don’t want to be close friends with me.

I also have extremely low self esteem. And i was wondering if anyone has any ideas on how i could improve my self confidence. Because atm, i feel so worthless.
Oh! And finally, I just wanted to get some advice on how I could stop cutting. I have done it a few times and it really helps me feel better. I love it when I see the blood, I feel like I have accomplished something. I know it’s not right which is why I want to stop before i cut any deeper. In saying that if i dont cut i would need some other type of ‘release’ that would help me feel better.

Sorry for any spelling and gramatical mistakes and I know it might not make sense, it’s just that i don’t have much time atm.
Please publish this as a story(even though it’s short and is just a bunch of questions, hopefully if i get time i can type more as there is just so much i need to talk about) its just i would like answers as soon as possible.

Thankyou in advance.

MELTINGAWAY.

Official World Hardship2Ease Day 2010: Stop Self-Harm Day.

Hello and welcome everybody, to 2010’s World Hardship2Ease Day. This year’s theme is to help ‘Stop Self-Harm’.

Today, Alhamdulillah, is Stop Self-Harm Day!

Click on all the links to the post titles on the following link, if you want to see all things related to this day on this blog: http://afterhardshipwillalwayscomeease.wordpress.com/category/h2e-day-2010/

Please vote in the Stop Self-Harm Day Poll:

“Stop Self-Harm Day, is a day for hope. On this day, people from around the world will try and help put an end to self-harm. It affects a tragic number of people around the world, and in many cases even leads to suicide. This needs to be prevented. It CAN be prevented, and we will try to be the ones preventing it on this day together. Experts estimate that 4% of the population struggle with self-injury, so that’s roughly 267,890,162 throughout the world. We CAN help. We can make a difference. Speak about it together, on one day-TODAY! Blog it, Tweet it, FB it etc. Together, we can end self-harm and give hope to millions, Inshallah (God-willing).”

Spread Awareness. Write something, such as an inspirational poem or story to help people to stop self-harming. Or, actually talk to someone (if you know anyone) who suffers self-harm,and help them stop.

You can write poems/stories that will help people quit self injury.

Alternatively, you can send in a picture. This might be a graphic one you made on the computer, or something you drew or maybe even a photo-it could be something like you holding up an inspirational quote.

Be imaginative. Help people.

Please COMMENT here!! Write in something inspirational and if you did anything for that day send in the link. Also, I will hopefully be re-blogging anything that you guys do for that day!

Thank you, and I look SO forward to seeing your posts!!Btw. if you can’t make/draw/write etc. anything for Stop Self harm day by TODAY then-don’t worry- send it in afterwards!!I don’t mind lol..Give it in in the weekend or next week, whatever-I’ll just link it up to the original official post.

Thank you in advance, and I pray for all of you who help and pray that those who self-harm stop doing it and that they benefit from this day. Let’s make this day a success!!

(What I’ve written previously about today)

Ok, so now from my own point of view. Here, Inshallah, I will write whatever comes to my mind that I’d like to share with you about this very serious topic. (Btw-I’m writing in orange ’cause the Self Harm Awareness ribbons are this colour, and a certain friend of mine has this as her favourite colour too lol).

When I say ‘topic’ of self-harm, it sounds like something out of a book. Something not real..but it is SO REAL. And it is SO DEADLY. To inflict harm on yourself, not only are you destroying what life you have existing on your skin, but also smashing your own existence within your soul. Your heart feels shattered. You think that by causing pain on your skin that you can physically see, will stop the emotional and mental pain you feel deep within you each and everyday. But it won’t. It will only make it worse. Think about it logically. If you were just emotionally abused, by self-harming, you’re now physically abused, and what’s worse, it’s done by your own hands! And if you were already hurt physically, then I’m sorry, but you’re adding to that existing traumatic pain. You need to let go. Get help. Some of you may have a ‘broken’ life. You feel like your heart has been smashed into tiny little pieces, and God, it aches. It kills. And, instead of reaching for support, for help, you start self-harming, or taking drigs or alcohol etc. And then what were a thousand little pieces of your broken heart have now become a million, and every day you carry on like this, the worse it gets, until it feels like there are no pieces of life left inside you. You’re an empty shell…

BUT, get back to reality. The truth is, thank God-you’re NOT. You still have that breathe of life inside you-you’re ALIVE. And you need to thank your heart out to God, your Lord, your Creator, for even giving you this chance to make a fresh start. You need to go and pick up the billions of pieces of your shattered life, and start piecing them together again, one by one. It will be hard, it will take time, no doubt. But, it CAN be done. Nothing is impossible. There is ALWAYS light at the end of every tunnel. Always hope. Have faith and believe.

I’m Muslim, mashallah. Subhanallah. And I therefore KNOW, I believe 100% that Allah s.w.t. is our Lord. He is our master and Creator and Forgiver. Ask him for help. For repentance. Me, along with other Muslims, believe that our life is sacred. It is a gift from God. SO we must not abuse that gift. God does not bear us with an affliction of that which we cannot stand. The ‘unbearable’ is ALWAYS bearable. And for any of you who don’t believe me, or can’t understand, then I ask you this. When you feel alone, who do you turn to? How do they help you? If there was NO-ONE in the world to help you, who would you go to? If you felt like no human loved you, then who loves you? God. Ask God for help. Pray to Him. He will be there NO MATTER WHAT. You;re friends may desert you, but God NEVER will. God will always love you.

YOUR CONTRIBUTION!!

The following is YOUR contribution to Stop Self-Harm Day, from around the world. Thank you to EVERY single person who participated, contributes in any way and read anything related to this day.

Stop Self Harm

There’s something inside

Nothing to be ignored

Nothing to be kicked to the side

Nothing to not worry about

Nothing to be hidden even from yourself

Something that hurts too much

Something you can’t really deny even if you lie

We make it hurt outside while drawing a fake smile upon our faces

Pain feels good

It’s like frenzy

It’s like a drug

Self harm; self destruction

Blindfolded eyes that stare into nothing

They look past your real pain and tell you it’s wrong

They offer you a hand that’s supposed to help you up

Why does -what they make u do- won’t work?

Because they’re looking for what’s not there

They look at the wrong page

They can’t see

They don’t know how to listen

However there’s always One that understands

Even when u haven’t even tried to explain anything, not like it’s possible

anyway

But He understands because He listens to your heartbeats when they speed

up

He can see and feel your heartache

He can taste your bitter tears

He’s been reaching out to you

Look to your side when you feel alone because you’re not alone

Even if you can’t see him

He’s there and He’s trying to hug your pain away but you’ve got a barrier all

around yourself

He doesn’t want to intrude

He wants you to make a choice

He wants you to choose him

Because He feels your pain

Because he wants to lift you up and take you away from the claws that

clutch your body

He will never leave you

So you’ll never be alone

But you need to take one step

Just one step to Him and He’ll do the rest

Hurting yourself will only make it worse

Break the circle

Reach out

You won’t be empty handed

You won’t be disappointed

You will be free…
