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 lol, cause 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!
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.
