Advice to One Who Feels Irredeemable After Major Sins

﷽

Did you know, sister? The Muslim is not allowed to despair in the mercy of Allah.

Indeed, no one despairs of relief from Allah except the disbelieving people.

—Qur'an (Yusuf) 12:87

As for suicide, you are correct. This is categorically forbidden.

And do not throw [yourselves] with your [own] hands into destruction.

—Qur'an (al-Baqarah) 2:195

So glad tidings to the believers, who know they have a merciful Lord who forgives them! :)

Say, "O My servants who have transgressed against themselves [by sinning], do not despair of the mercy of Allah. Indeed, Allah forgives all sins. Indeed, it is He who is the Forgiving, the Merciful.

—Qu'ran (az-Zumar) 39:53

I was listening to a lecture by a student of knowledge not too long ago and he mentioned something that I found amazing, regarding the devil's deception:

He is the one who, when it's time to commit a sin, whispers to you, "It's okay—we'll just repent for it later!"

However, once you've committed the sin, he pulls a pikachu face and makes you think, "Oh no, what have I done?! How will Allah ever forgive me for this disgusting act of transgression I've committed?! I can never be forgiven!"

And so in this way, he traps you into a mindset that ensures you will never turn to Allah and be forgiven, because you don't ask for it. SO many ayat and ahadith explain to us how Allah is only waiting for his slaves to turn to him. That is the only delay. Forgiveness is assured, the hold up is just in our turning to Allah.

And don't think for a second you're the only one who has gone through what you're going through, or sinned as you have. Indeed it is in human nature to sin, and the sins of desires are the easiest of all for us, because of the inclinations inherent in each of us.

With that said, just turn to Allah. :) It doesn't matter how ashamed you feel—in fact, it's good to feel regret since that helps to fuel a sincere repentance. But what makes you delay in seeking forgiveness? Do you think Allah doesn't already know what you've done? Of course he does. So repent to Him and show your sincerity in coming to the right path.

And this isn’t really me, I just feel that way because I feel so impure.

It is okay to feel regret; it is not okay to despair, or to feel that your mistakes define who you are. They do not.

Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, “The adulterer is not a believer while he is committing adultery. The drinker of wine is not a believer while he is drinking wine. The thief is not a believer while he is stealing. The plunderer is not a believer while he is plundering and the people are looking to him.”

In another narration, the Prophet said, “And he is not a believer while he is killing.”

—Sahih al-Bukhari 2343, Sahih Muslim 57

I'm sharing this to draw your attention to the wording of the hadith, specifically (which I've emphasized for your benefit). While you were sinning, you may have been impure, yes, but you are not currently sinning, alhamdulillah. You are begging Allah for forgiveness, and this is something the believer does and the believer is pure.

Anas ibn Malik reported: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "All of the children of Adam are sinners, and the best sinners are those who repent."

—Sunan al-Tirmidhi 2499

So the condition of the believer is like that.

It’s gotten to the point where salah isn’t even helping.

Another trick of the Shaiytaan. He hopes to distract you and cause you enough hopelessness that you turn away from Salah, which would be a greater sin than the one you're discussing in this post.

Let me repeat that: LEAVING OFF SALAH IS A GREATER SIN THAN ZINA.

'Abdullah bin Buraidah narrated that his father said: "The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: 'The covenant that distinguishes between us and them is prayer; so whoever leaves it, he has committed Kufr.'"

—Sunan Ibn Majah 1079

Salah will help 100%, you just have to keep at it so Shaiytaan can see that his antics aren't working. Who is more truthful? Shaiytaan, the consummate liar and enemy of the believers, or Allah, The Most High?

"Verily, Salah restrains (oneself) from shameful and unjust deeds…"

—Qur'an (al-'Ankabut) 29:45

You went on to mention:

I just feel like I’ve failed as a Muslim and I’ve failed in life.

As mentioned above, the Muslim is the one who turns to Allah again and again. So do that. You are not your past. You are what you do about it. So turn to Allah and He will forgive you. We have countless ahadith and ayat about Allah forgiving MUCH worse than what you've done.

Even to Fir'aun, who is among the worst of the people in all of creation, who will be in the depths of the Hellfire, Allah sent his noble prophet Musa (alayhisalaam)—to do what?

"And speak to him with gentle speech that perhaps he may be reminded or fear [Allah]."

—Qur'an (Taha) 20:44

Subhanallah, a great Prophet was sent to Fir'aun so that he might repent for his sin of associating himself as a partner with Allah. And if Fir'aun had not been arrogant and accepted the message, begging Allah for forgiveness, Allah would have forgiven even him!

So give yourself a little perspective. It is not the end of the world. Yes, it's a major sin and you fell into it. Many, many, many people do. Upon us is to turn to Allah and ask for forgiveness with a sincere heart, to not return to the sin, and to busy ourselves with goodness instead.

And Allah knows best.

Blessed early days of Ramadan...

183 You who believe, fasting is prescribed for you, as it was prescribed for those before you, so that you may be mindful of God. 184 Fast for a specific number of days, but if one of you is ill, or on a journey, on other days later. For those who can fast only with extreme difficulty, there is a way to compensate – feed a needy person. But if anyone does good of his own accord, it is better for him, and fasting is better for you, if only you knew. 185 It was in the month of Ramadan that the Qur’an was revealed as guidance for mankind, clear messages giving guidance and distinguishing between right and wrong. So any one of you who is present that month should fast, and anyone who is ill or on a journey should make up for the lost days by fasting on other days later. God wants ease for you, not hardship. He wants you to complete the prescribed period and to glorify Him for having guided you, so that you may be thankful.” [The Qur’an 2:183-185, translation of M. A. S. Abdel Haleem]

[muneersecstasy]

How fascinating love it would be, in which you fear your beloved.

What a fascinating love it would be if you feared your beloved. Subhan'Allah! The real love. For the sake of Allah, in Divine love, i.e., Allah's Love, The love of Allāh ﷻ also includes the love of our prophet Muhammadﷺ, and all the prophets (عَلَيْهِ ٱلصَّلَاةُ وَٱلسَّلَامُ), and the Khulafa-e-Rashideen◌ؓ, Azwaj-e-Mutahirat◌ؓ, Ummahat-ul-Momineen◌ؓ, Ahl al-Bayt-e-Athaar◌ؓ, Shuhuda-e-Karbala◌ؓ, Ashra-Mubashra◌ؓ, Baqiya-tu-Sahaba Ikram (رَضِيَ ٱللَّٰهُ عَنْهُ), Hazrat e Tab'in Tabe Tab'in, Shuhuda-e-Islam, Mufassireen, Muhadiseen ؒ , Awliya-Ikram ؒ Ajma'in (رضوان الله أجمعين) and our parents, brothers, sisters, family, relatives, neighbours, friends, the entire Ummah and all the living beings. Subhan'Allah!

"And those who truly believe, love Allah intensely."[Al-Baqarah | 2:165] Subhan'Allah! In which you also love the other lovers of your beloved. Not like any other metaphorical love, i.e., love for Allah ﷻ's creation. In which you detest other lovers of your beloved. Well, how can one's heart not love Allah, our Lord, the Almighty, the most compassionate and merciful, to whom belong the most beautiful names? To whom you can't thank enough, even if you spend your whole life in prostration. That heﷻis not in need of our worship, yet he showers us all with his abundant blessings. Allahu-Akbar! Heﷻ is "al-Shakur", rewarding our few deeds with limitless happiness, even though he's the one who gifted us the ability to carry out those very deeds. In fact,

it is said that fear denotes abstaining not only from all that is forbidden but also from those deeds from which it is advisable to refrain. According to a scholar, fear forces a traveller on the spiritual path to hold back and refrain from displeasing Allah. Just like when you love someone, you are afraid of making them upset with you or refrain from doing anything that will displease them. Also, just like lovers who are unable to meet, they send letters, and the lover reads them over and over. Qur'an-e-Kareem is also like a love letter from Allāh ﷻ. From the beloved to you. so that we read it over and over again. Subhan'Allah! It implants fear in our hearts concerning our end. The Qur'an warns us to be steadfast in our belief and practice of Islam. May Allahﷻ guide us all. Many verses of the Qur'an cause hearts to tremble with fear and are like threads with which to knit the lace of life. "And whoever does an atom’s weight of evil will see it."[Al-Zilzal | 99:8]

and Say: "Shall We tell you who will be the greatest losers by their works? Those whose efforts have been wasted in the life of the world while they thought they were doing good. " [Al-Kahf | 18:103-4] Allahu Akbar! May Allah ﷻ grant us all forgiveness and protection against Shaytan and his deceptions. And may he ﷻ make it easy for us to fight against our Nafs and to oppose our desires and sins. Allahumma Ameen! How happy and prosperous are those who knit the laces of their lives with these threads? With such warnings, the Qur'an orients us toward the Hereafter and encourages us to consider it more important than anything else. In his luminous speech, Allah the Almighty uses fear as a whip to force us into His presence and honour us with His company. Like a mother's reproofs to her child that draws him or her to her warm, affectionate arms, this whip attracts the believer toward the depths of Divine Mercy and enriches him or her with Allāh ﷻ's blessings and bounties that He compels humanity to deserve and receive out of His Mercy and Graciousness. Subhan'Allah! How can one's heart not melt out in the love of their lord? Indeed, One whose heart is full of fear and awe of the Almighty cannot be afraid of others and is therefore freed from all useless and suffocating fear. In His luminous, hope-giving speech, the Almighty Allāh ﷻ tells people not to fear anything or anyone other than Him: "Have no fear of them. Fear Me, if you are true believers." [Aal-Imran | 3:175] "They arise from [their] beds; they supplicate their Lord in fear and aspiration, and from what we have provided them, they spend." [As-Sajda | 32:16]. Heﷻ praises those who design their lives according to their fear of God use their willpower carefully and strive to avoid sins. Such sensitive and careful souls fly in the heavens with the Almighty's approval and pleasure. Also, those holding Him in reverence drink the sweet, enlivening water of nearness, which comes from taking refuge in Him. One who fears God sometimes sighs and sometimes weeps, especially when alone, in an attempt to extinguish the pain of being separate from Him as well as the fire of Hell, which is the greatest distance between him and Allāh ﷻ. Allahu Akbar! Why do we not fear him? Is our love for Allah just words and no action? May Allahﷻ protect us! And shedding tears is the most effective way of putting out the fires of Hell. It doesn’t matter if you don’t know how to put it in words. Cry your heart out to Allāhﷻ, because the thing is, even if you don’t understand it yourself, Allah does. Indeed, "whether you conceal what is in your hearts or reveal it, Allah will know it. He knows what is in the heavens and what is on the earth. Allah is powerful over everything." [ Aal-Imran | 3:29] Indeed, imagine a single teardrop that occurs whilst you’re repenting. Just one single teardrop, that rolled from your eyes down to your cheeks whilst you begged Allāh for forgiveness for your sins. Imagine that this one drop of water, was enough for Allāh ﷻ to extinguish all of the fire and torment that was awaiting you for the sins that you committed. We just have to repent with sincerity. Surely, Allah ﷻ loves to forgive. You know, every tear that falls from your eyes in repentance to Him makes your heart feel lighter, happier.Istighfaar can do that. It raises you in rank even more than when you first fell. And his mercy is greater and ever nearer to the one who comes to him with a repentant heart. So repent and allow your heart to blossom. Subhan'Allah! Lately, I read a quote: "I know of no better love story than that of a forgiving Rabb and a repentant slave." Also, you don't have to tell anyone that I cried in the love of Allāh ﷻ or I please him in alone or anything. When you love someone, you hide it. I know, love can't stay hidden for long. People around you get to know about it through your actions. But just don't express it to others with your own tongue. Yk!

However, don’t allow your emotions to overwhelm you into falling into the traps of Shaytaan. causing you to drift away from your deen, your beloved. Keep your head up and cope in beneficial ways. Sit with the Quran and recite or listen to recitations, get up and pray and make your sujood longer than usual. Find comfort in Ibaadah and know that Allāh ﷻ knows and Allāh ﷻ does not burden a soul more than it can bear. Trials and afflictions are to improve us and make us stronger. Think back on the difficult times in the past? Did you not come out stronger and wiser? Patience is key. Hold onto the rope of Allah with patience and aim for his mercy and love, which eventually leads you to Paradise. In-Sha-Allah! "Fa Inni Qareeb": 'I am near. I respond to the call' - Allāh ﷻ guarantees that he will respond to the one who calls. Subhan'Allah! How foolish of us to think that he won't respond to our supplications. "Na'auzubillah!" (We seek refuge in Allah.) Also, if someone doesn't have anyone to speak to, pour your heart out in front of your lord, may it be in Tahajjud. Subhan'Allah! Talk to Allāh ﷻ, your beloved. He is the "Al-Wali" (the Protective Friend) of those who believe. Heﷻ surely will turn the darkness of your life into light. May Allāh ﷻ grant us all patience, self-control, and strength. May Allahﷻ honour us and not humiliate us in this world and especially in the hereafter. May Allahﷻ cure all of our illnesses, our distresses, our pains and grant us the best of healing. May Allah ﷻ replace our anxieties, our worries, our fears, our depression and our problems with peace, contentment and barakah! "Allahumma inni as'aluka hubbaka, wa hubba man yuhibbuka, wal-'amalalladhi yuballighuni hubbaka." (O Allah! I ask for your love, the love of those who love you, and deeds that will cause me to attain your love.

Ameen allahumma ameen!✨

[gsirvitor]

Got blocked, but oh well, let's cover this last bit I managed to grab;

The hadith and sira tradition is very explicit about the fact that Muhammad married Aisha when she was six, and consummated the marriage when she was nine, this is the dominant belief in Islam and is used to justify child marriages, and sex with minors.

Both the Qur'an and the hadiths have played an important role in legal and exegetical discussions on these topics, in particular Q. 65:4 which was generally understood to allude to divorced pre-pubescent wives.

Such of your women as have passed the age of monthly courses, for them the prescribed period, if ye have any doubts, is three months, and for those who have no courses (it is the same): for those who carry (life within their wombs), their period is until they deliver their burdens: and for those who fear Allah, He will make their path easy.

There is no minimum age for the marriage contract, Islamic law permits a girl to live with her husband and consummate the marriage when she can tolerate intercourse without physical harm, which according to Islamic jurists sometimes may be the case while she was still a minor.

The `Iddah of Those in Menopause and Those Who do not have Menses Allah the Exalted clarifies the waiting period of the woman in menopause. And that is the one whose menstruation has stopped due to her older age. Her `Iddah is three months instead of the three monthly cycles for those who menstruate, which is based upon the Ayah in (Surat) Al-Baqarah. [see 2:228] The same for the young, who have not reached the years of menstruation. Their `Iddah is three months like those in menopause. This is the meaning of His saying.

Tafsir Ibn Kathir, Dar Taybah, vol.8 p.149

. In Islam, iddah is the period a woman must observe after the death of her husband or after a divorce, during which she may not marry another man.

"And for those who haven't menstruated" means: The same applies to the Iddah for girls who do not menstruate because they are too young, if their husbands divorce them after consummating the marriage with them.

The interpretation of Al-Tabari, mu'assasat Al-Risalah, vol.23 p.452

.

Here, one should bear in mind the fact that according to the explanations given in the Quran the question of the waiting period arises in respect of the women with whom marriage may have been consummated, for there is no waiting-period in case divorce is pronounced before the consummation of marriage. (Al-Ahzab: 49). Therefore, making mention of the waiting-period for the girls who have not yet menstruated, clearly proves that it is not only permissible to give away the girl in marriage at this age but it is also permissible for the husband to consummate marriage with her. Now, obviously no Muslim has the right to forbid a thing which the Quran has held as permissible.

Commentary on Qur'an Chapter 65:4 Sayyid Abul Ala Maududi, Tafhim al-Qur'an

.

For those who are small and have not reached age (quoting the Qur'an) "for those female who have not menstruated, their waiting period is three months" i.e. their waiting period is 3 months. Qur'an 65:4 Al-Shoukani, Fath al-Qadir

Quotes from Imam Bukhari's hadith collection, regarding verse 65:4.

The Tafsir of Surat at-Talaq

Mujahid said that "if you have any doubt" (65:4) means if you do not know whether she menstruates or not. Those who do not longer menstruate and those who have not yet menstruated, their 'idda is three months.

Sahih Al-Bukhari, Chapter 68: Book of Tafsir

The following is from Bukhari's chapter introduction for chapter 39, Book an-Nikkah. It appears immediately before the first and only hadith of Chapter 39, Sahih Bukhari 7:62:64 and can be seen in the Dar-us-Salam print edition, volume 7.

Giving one’s young children in marriage (is permissible) by virtue of the Statement of Allah: ‘And for those who have courses’ (i.e. they are still immature) (Sura 65:4) And the ‘Iddat [waiting period for a woman before lawful sexual intercourse] for the girl before puberty is three months (in the above Verse).

Bukhari (Chapter 39)

The Encyclopedia of Unanimous Islamic Rulings says: “Scholars have unanimously agreed that it is permissible for a father to marry off his minor daughter without her consent.”

The Encyclopedia lists 14 classical scholars who reported the consensus about this, such as Ibn Abdul Barr (d.1071 AD) who said: “Scholars have unanimously agreed that a father can marry off his minor daughter without consulting with her”.

1- Allah said: “And those who no longer expect menstruation among your women - if you doubt, then their period is three months, and [also for] those who have not menstruated.” Quran 65:4

This verse says that the Iddah for those who haven’t menstruated is three months. And since that the Iddah is only prescribed in the case of divorce, this proves that:

A-She can marry and can get divorced.

B- Marrying her off before puberty is allowed.

C- Her consent is neglected.  

2- Ayisha said: “Allah's Messenger married me when I was six years old, and consummated his marriage when I was nine”.

3- Muhammad’s companion Qudamah Bin Math’un married the daughter of Al-Zubayr when she was born. He said: “If I die then the daughter of Al-Zubayr will inherit me. If I live then she will be my wife”

4- Ali, Muhammad’s cousin and the fourth caliph, married off his minor daughter Um Kulthum to Umar the second caliph.

These reports show that Ayisha, Al-Zubayr’s daughter and Ali’s daughter were minors which means their consent was unviable.

Mawsu’at Al-Ijma’ Fil-Fiqh Al-Islami, Volume 3 by professor Zafir Al-Amri, first edition 2012, published by Dar Al-Fadhilah, Al-Maktabah Al-Shamilah, vol.3 p.144-147

Al-Nawawi (d.1277 AD) in his commentary on Sahih Muslim, laid out the view of all four major legal schools on the minimum age of consummation of marriage:

Regarding the timing of the wedding of a minor wife and consummation of her marriage, if the husband and the minor’s legal guardian both agreed on something that doesn’t harm the minor then it’s done.

If they disagree, Ahmad (the Imam of one of the 4 major legal schools in Sunni Islam) said that she is forced to be wed at the age of 9.

Malik, Al-Shafi’i and Abu Hanifa (the remaining 3 Imams of the 4 major legal schools) said the timing is when she’s capable of enduring sexual intercourse which differs from one person to another and can’t be determined by age. This is the correct view.

Al-Nawawi, Al-Minhaj Sharh Sahih Muslim, published by Dar Ihya’ Al-Turath Al-Arabi, Al-Maktabah Al-Shamilah, vol.9 p.206

Mukhtasar Khalil is a major book in the Maliki legal school which is one of the four major legal schools. Al-Kharashi (d.1690) said in his commentary on this book:

“It’s possible to have sex with her” meaning there’s no specific age. Every person is different. And it’s not required for her to reach puberty because a man can receive full pleasure if the female can endure sex.

Al-Kharashi, Sharh Al-Kharashi, published by Al-Matba’ah Al-Kubra, Al-Maktabah Al-Shamilah, vol.3 p.258

Many scholars say that a husband is obliged to provide for his wife only if she lets him have sex with her.

The following quote falls within this context: Kanz Al-Daqa’iq is a major book in the Hanafi legal school. Al-Zayla’i (d.743 AH) said in his commentary on this book:

“A minor who can’t endure sex” meaning the husband isn’t obliged to provide for her whether she’s living in his home or not. Al-Shafi’i said that “the husband is actually obliged to provide for her since that providing for her is the price for owning her. It’s like how a man is obliged to provide for his slave girl”….

Some scholars say if the female minor is (old enough) to be sexually desirable and it’s possible to have sexual acts with her except for intercourse, then the husband is obliged to provide for her. But if the female minor can endure sex, scholars have unanimously agreed that the husband is obliged to provide for her.

Scholars have disagreed on determining the age when a minor can endure sex, with some saying it’s nine. What’s is correct is that age doesn’t matter. What matters is the capability to endure sexual intercourse; a fat big female can endure intercourse even if she’s of a young age.

Al-Zayla’i, Tabyin Al-Haqa’iq, published by Al-Matba’a Al-Kubra, Al-Maktabah Al-Shamilah, vol.3 p.52

A fatwa collection issued by the Ministry of Religious Endowments and Islamic Affairs in Kuwait, included the following fatwa;

Question: Is it allowed to marry a suckling baby and is it allowed to pleasure myself with her by kissing her and doing other unharmful acts excluding sex?

Answer: If the marriage contract fulfills the Islamic legal requirements then she’s considered to be his wife in all respects and he’s allowed to look at her, touch her and kiss her. He’s not allowed to have sex with her until she can endure sex without causing her any harm.

Majmu'at Al-Fatawa Al-Shar'iyya, Fatwa no. 6058

I can go on, but I won't, the founder of Islam was a pedophile, its greatest thinkers permitted pedophilia, and Islamic law to this day permits it.

We don't need math to understand this, it's clear as day through the writings of Islam and its scholars, but let's end it with a bang, shall we?

"It was narrated by Ahmed that a man came to him that feared that he would ejaculate while he was fasting. Ahmed said: "What I see is that he can release semen without ruining the fast, he can masturbate using his hands or the hands of his wife, If he has an "Ammah" whether be it a girl or a little child, she can masturbate for him using her hands, and if she was a non-believer, he can sleep with her without releasing (his semen), if he released it in her, it becomes impermissible".

Bada'i al-Fuwa'id of Ibn Qayyim, page 603

.

Banning child marriage will cause challenging the marriage of the holy prophet of Islam, who also married minor Ayesha, when she was just eight years old. The new law [seeking to ban child marriages] initiated by the current government [of Bangladesh] will put the moral character of the prophet into controversy and challenge. Islam permits child marriage and it will not be tolerated if any ruler will ever try to touch this issue in the name of giving more rights to women.

Mufti Fazlul Haque Amini

.

Fatwah 23672:

The inquirer asks: "My parents married me to a young girl who hasn't yet reached puberty. How can I enjoy her sexually?"

The imam answers him by saying: "Do not harm her if she cannot take intercourse but you may hug her, kiss her, and ejaculate between her legs" i.e. "thigh" her, as the fatwah in question indicates.

Kecewa? No way!

"Boleh Jadi kamu membenci sesuatu, Padahal ia amat baik bagimu, dan boleh Jadi (pula) kamu menyukai sesuatu, Padahal ia amat buruk bagimu. Allah mengetahui, sedang kamu tidak mengetahui.”  (QS. Al-Baqarah [2] : 216)

Salah satu ayat dalam Al-Qur'an yang selalu berhasil membuat saya tersenyum dan semangat kembali ketika ditimpa musibah. Seakan menjadi 'kado cinta' terbaik dari Allah untuk siapapun hamba-Nya, yang dengan keyakinan penuh, ridho atas apa yang menimpanya.

Manusia selalu memiliki banyak harap, akan tetapi dari sekian banyak pengharapan itu, terkadang tidak semuanya Allah kabulkan (persis seperti apa yang kita pintakan). Banyak dari kita yang mungkin ketika dihadapkan pada persoalan itu, berujung pada rasa sedih bahkan keputus-asaan.

Suatu ketika, ada seorang adik yang mendatangi saya dengan keadaan sedih dan kecewa, karena ia merasa do'a-do'anya selama ini seakan Allah abaikan. Lalu saya katakan kepadanya,

“Bersyukur atas segala yang Allah kabulkan dari apa yang kita pintakan itu meskipun terkadang susah diistiqomahkan, tapi tetap masih mudah untuk dilakukan. Naluri manusia memang seperti itu, ketika diberi kebahagiaan akan mengapresiasi kepada penyebabnya. Tapi ada hal yang lebih hebat dari pada itu?” kataku.

Dia bertanya, “Apa itu mas?”

“… adalah ketika kita mampu untuk tetap bersyukur atas segala ketidakinginan yang kita terima saat ini.” jawabku.

“Maksdunya, mas?” sambungnya.

“Allah adalah Sang Maha Bijak. Allah juga adalah sebaik-baik pemberi keputusan. Cukuplah kita yakini atas segala pemberian dari Allah sebagai bentuk cintaNya kepada kita. Segala panjatan do'a yang engkau yakini itu baik, mungkin Allah tunda atau bahkan tidak kabulkan do'amu itu, sebab lagi-lagi Dia tahu apa yang lebih baik untukmu. Bersabarlah sedikit lagi.” pungkasku.

Selalu ada sebab kenapa Allah memberi satu hal kepada kita, ketika Allah hendak memutuskan sesuatu, Allah akan hadirkan terlebih dahulu sebab-musababnya, sebelum hal tersebut benar-benar dihadirkan kepada kita. Lihatlah itu, renungilah. Kamu akan temukan jawabannya, kenapa hal tersebut Allah berikan padamu.

Memang tidak mudah untuk selalu berperasangka baik kepadaNya. Apalagi jika keputusanNya justru bertolak-belakang dengan ingin kita. Kuncinya adalah keyakinan, keyakinan yang utuh. Sebab, dengan keyakinan yang parsial kita akan kesusahan untuk meyakini segala pemberianNya.

Jadi, masih perlu kecewa? Nggak lah ya…

رَبَّنَا لاَ تُؤَاخِذْنَا إِن نَّسِينَا أَوْ أَخْطَأْنَا رَبَّنَا وَلاَ تَحْمِلْ عَلَيْنَا إِصْرًا كَمَا حَمَلْتَهُ عَلَى الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِنَا رَبَّنَا وَلاَ تُحَمِّلْنَا مَا لاَ طَاقَةَ لَنَا بِهِ وَاعْفُ عَنَّا وَاغْفِرْ لَنَا وَارْحَمْنَآ أَنتَ مَوْلاَنَا فَانصُرْنَا عَلَى الْقَوْمِ الْكَافِرِينَ

Translation

"Our Lord, do not impose blame upon us if we have forgotten or erred. Our Lord, and lay not upon us a burden like that which You laid upon those before us. Our Lord, and burden us not with that which we have no ability to bear. And pardon us; and forgive us; and have mercy upon us. You are our protector, so give us victory over the disbelieving people."

Tafsir Ibn Kathir: Surah Al-Hijr Ayah 87-88

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

15:87 And indeed, We have bestowed upon you seven of the Mathani, and the Grand Qur'an.

15:88 Look not with your eyes ambitiously at what We have given to certain classes of them, nor grieve over them. And lower your wings to the believers.

A Reminder of the Blessing of the Qur'an and the Command to focus on its Message

Allah says:

And indeed, We have bestowed upon you seven of the Mathani, and the Grand Qur'an. Look not with your eyes ambitiously at what We have given to certain classes of them, nor grieve over them. And lower your wings to the believers.

Allah is saying to His Prophet:

Since We have given you the Grand Qur'an, then do not look at this world and its attractions, or the transient delights that we have given to its people in order to test them. Do not envy what they have in this world, and do not upset yourself with regret for their rejection of you and their opposition to your religion.

And lower your wings to the believers who follow you. (26:215) meaning - be gentle with them, like the Ayah,

Verily, there has come unto you a Messenger from among yourselves. It grieves him that you should receive any injury or difficulty. He is anxious for you, for the believers - he is full of pity, kind and merciful. (9:128)

There were some differences among the scholars over the meaning of "seven of the Mathani''.

Ibn Mas`ud, Ibn Umar, Ibn Abbas, Mujahid, Sa`id bin Jubayr, Ad-Dahhak and others said that;

they are the seven long (Surahs), meaning

• Al-Baqarah,

• Al-Imran,

• An-Nisa',

• Al-Ma'idah,

• Al-An`am,

• Al-A`raf,

• Yunus.

There are texts to this effect reported from Ibn Abbas and Sa`id bin Jubayr.

Sa`id said:

"In them, Allah explains the obligations, the

Hudud (legal limits), stories and rulings.'' Ibn Abbas said,

"He explains the parables, stories and lessons.'' The second opinion is that;

they (the seven of the Mathani) are Al-Fatihah, which is composed of seven Ayat.

This was reported from Ali, Umar, Ibn Mas`ud and Ibn Abbas.

Ibn Abbas said:

"The Bismillah, is completing seven Ayah, which Allah has given exclusively to you (Muslims).''

This is also the opinion of Ibrahim An-Nakha`i, Abdullah bin Umayr, Ibn Abi Mulaykah, Shahr bin Hawshab, Al-Hasan Al-Basri and Mujahid.

Al-Bukhari, may Allah have mercy on him, recorded two Hadiths on this topic. The first was recorded from Abu Sa`id bin Al-Mu`alla, who said:

"The Prophet passed by me while I was praying. He called out for me but I did not come until I finished my prayer. Then I came to him, and He asked,

What stopped you from coming to me? I said, `I was praying'.

He said, did not Allah say;

O you who believe! Answer Allah (by obeying Him) and (His) Messenger when he calls you... (8:24)

Shall I not teach you the most magnificent Surah before I leave the Masjid!

Then the Prophet went to leave the Masjid, and I reminded him, so he said,

All praises and thanks be to Allah, the Lord of all that exists. (1:2)

This is the seven of the Mathani and the Qur'an which I have been given.''

The second Hadith was reported from Abu Hurayrah who said that the Messenger of Allah said:

Umm Al-Qur'an (the Mother or the Essence of the Qur'an), is the seven Mathani, and the Grand Qur'an.

This means that Al-Fatihah is the seven Mathani and the Grand Qur'an, but this does not contradict the statement that the seven Mathani are the seven long Surahs, because they also share these attributes, as does the whole Qur'an.

As Allah says,

Allah has sent down the best statement, a Book (this Qur'an), its parts resembling each other in goodness and truth, oft-recited. (39:23)

So it is oft-recited in one way, and its parts resemble one another in another way, and this is also the Grand Qur'an.

Look not with your eyes ambitiously at what We have given to certain classes of them.

meaning, be content with the Grand Qur'an that Allah has given to you, and do not long for the luxuries and transient delights that they have.

Al-Awfi reported that Ibn Abbas said:

(Look not with your eyes ambitiously),

"He (in this Ayah) forbade a man to wish for what his companion has.''

at what We have given to certain classes of them, Mujahid said:

"This refers to the rich.''

Response to a Sister Upset with Men’s Reward in Jannah

Sister, it seems to me (and to clarify: I am not a person of knowledge, just a layperson who is learning)—you have a fundamental flaw in your understanding of a few key concepts related to both life and the religion. I apologize if my candor is upsetting, it's not my intention, but I think we often tiptoe around these important topics and it doesn't benefit us to do so.

Some Questions to Think About

does it upset you that men do not have periods?

does it upset you that men do not give birth?

does it upset you that you're not able to urinate standing up?

does it upset you that men have to wear their pants above their ankles?

does it upset you that you can't grow a full beard?

does it upset you that men have to maintain their wives and families financially?

does it upset you that men are more analytic thinkers, generally speaking, and women more emotionally intelligent?

If the answer to the above is "No," then why does it upset you that most men desire multiple wives, while most women desire one man. In fact, just with the statement laid out like that, you can see the wisdom and perfection of Allah's decree—to the woman, what she desires (being married to a single man) and to the man what he desires (to be married to multiple women). This is like if you're at a party and everyone gets a single slice of cake. You share yours with someone but then are upset if anyone else also shares some with him.

Jannah

As for Paradise, then truly, our concern should only be with getting in.

That said, I've heard of women clutching their pearls over men having multiple wives in Jannah and it always feels so incredibly shortsighted.

Some Questions to Think About

are you upset that you have to work for a living in this world?

does it bother you that you have to seek out food and sustenance and then eat it intentionally?

are you upset that you have to seek out shelter and live in a house?

The you that was a fetus did not have any such worldly concerns, yet you were alive for a period of roughly 8 months in the belly of your mother, with all your concerns taken care of by The One Who Created You, and you were content because you hadn't yet learned ingratitude. The same Allah who decreed you would be in a safe place (as the womb is referred to in the Qur'an) for 9 months before your birth is the same Allah who has promised:

"I have prepared for My righteous slaves that which no eye has seen, no ear has heard and it has never crossed the mind of man. All of that is reserved, besides which all that you have known is as nothing."

—Sahih al-Bukhari 3072, Sahih Muslim 2824

And He has said in his Noble Qur'an:

"No person knows what is kept hidden for them of joy as a reward for what they used to do"

—Qur'an (al-Sajdah) 32:17

So will you then put your meager, human mind and imagination up against that which Allah has created? Who knows better what you will be pleased with? You or Allah the Most High? Just think in this world, how many things you begged Him for which were terrible for you, which you didn't get and you came to know afterwards that you were saved from a wretched affair?

"and it may be that you dislike a thing which is good for you and that you like a thing which is bad for you. Allâh knows but you do not know."

—Qur'an (al-Baqarah) 2:216

In addition to this, Jannah is full of only perfection. Everyone is young, tall, and beautiful. I have heard students of knowledge mention that the wives of men in Jannah will be even more beautiful than the hooris, and a man will leave his house in the morning, and when he returns, he will say to his wife, "By Allah, when I left I thought you were so beautiful but now, upon my return, I find you even more beautiful than before!" and she will say the same to him.

Death, sadness, rancor, jealousy, envy, hatred—all these feelings and more will be eradicated before anyone enters Jannah. So however you feel about anything on Earth will be completely irrelevant by the time we get to Jannah, by the permission of Allah.

May Allah make us from among those who enter Jannah. Ameen.

Marriage

In Islam, a man with multiple wives has to fulfill ALL the rights due to each one. That means that for all intents and purposes, for her, it's almost no different to being married to a man who has no other wives. She is still:

being taken care of financially

being taken care of emotionally

having her needs met sexually

respected and her family is also given their due respect

within her rights to have children from the union

Polygyny isn't for everyone at the end of the day, so you can write it into your contract if it's an issue for you.

To Be Muslim

Ultimately, what does it mean to be Muslim?

The only statement of the [true] believers when they are called to Allah and His Messenger to judge between them is that they say, "We hear and we obey." And those are the successful.

—Qur'an (an-Nur) 24:51

REFLECTIONS ON THE QUR'AN: Suratu'l-Baqarah (The Cow) : Part 23

“God wills ease for you, and He does not will hardship for you.” (Al-Baqarah 2:185)

Basically, there is no compulsion in the religion. Things that are seemingly hard are actually a means of ease. God always prefers ease for His servants in matters involving difficulty and trouble. Shortening the Prayer during travel; the permission for breaking the fast in the evening instead of ordering a fast from dawn to dawn; and the permission for tayammum (dry ablution using sand or dust, which may be performed in place of the ritual ablution or the whole body ablution if no clean water is readily available or there is some serious harm or danger in using water) are only a few examples. Even the mistakes in the devotions are forgiven if they are out of forgetting. For instance, if a person forgets that he or she is fasting and eats or drinks, this is not considered a violation of the fast; rather, it is considered a feast from Allāh. Furthermore, some exemptions are granted for the excused due to an essential or incidental reason, and easiness has always been preferred in the practice of the religion. For this reason, there are many seemingly-hard obligations that are in fact the cornerstone of the eternal happiness. For instance, many acts of worship involve struggling with the carnal soul and requiring patience. But they cause believers to rise to higher levels of the spiritual life, to gain resistance against any hardship, and to acquire a state apt for the afterlife.

In addition, if certain acts of worship cause trouble for those with some impediments or excuses, Divine dispensation or exemption comes to their help, and these acts of worship are either changed with easy substitutes, or they can even be omitted by the excused persons, leaving the spiritual reward to come from them to the good, sincere intention of the excused. For example, material or financial compensations or atonements compensate for the permitted omission of an act of worship, while the exemption from some acts of those who are too old or too weak to perform them or of those who suffer irrecoverable disease is compensated by the sincere intention of believers to perform them.

Difficulty and ease in fulfilling religious commands are directly proportional with one’s spiritual condition, educational level, habitude, and so on. This is so because the religion is all-inclusive, from the beginners to the educated and the pious. That is, it does not matter if the members of the religion of Islam are professors or students or doorkeepers, laborers, or bosses. It perfectly satisfies everyone with every level of understanding intellectually and spiritually. Everybody can feel the happiness and contentment of obedience to God’s commands and prohibitions according to their own spiritual level. However, if one examines the commands and prohibitions of Islam in regard to their essential nature, one understands that so much ease and tolerance are included in those commands and prohibitions.

What is the first thing that comes to the mind when we think about Ramadan?

Fasting. And maybe those delicious food during iftar.

But what is the first thing that Allah wants us to know about Ramadan? He subhanahu wa ta'ala says:

🌺 ❛The month of Ramadan in which was revealed the Qur’an…❜ 【Surah al-Baqarah 2:185】

Even before mentioning fasting, the very first thing that Allah tells us about Ramadan is that it is the month in which the Qur’an was sent down. While we should always be grateful for iftar, remember that Ramadan is essentially a month for us to gear up our appetite for the Qur’an.

Here are some encouraging ahadith about the Qur’an. Rasulullah salla Allahu ‘alayhi wa sallam said:

🌿 ❛Allah has His own people among mankind — the people of the Qur'an, the people of Allah, and those who are closest to Him.❜ 【Sunan Ibn Majah 215 | Graded Fair】

🌿 ❛Recite the Qur'an, for on the Day of Resurrection it will come as an intercessor for those who recite it.❜ 【Sahih Muslim 804a】

🌿 ❛The Qur’an will be brought on the Day of resurrection, and it will say to its reciter: ‘O Rabb, decorate him.’ So he will be clothed with a crown of nobility.

Then it will say: ‘O Rabb, give him more.’ So he will be clothed with a suit of nobility.

Then it will say: ‘O Rabb, be pleased with him.’ So Allah will be pleased with him, and He will say: Recite and rise up, be increased in goodness for every aayah.❜ 【At-Tirmidhi 2915 | Graded Fair】

May Allah make us believers who love to read the Qur'an, learn the Qur'an, and live by the Qur'an.

Keutamaan membaca dua ayat terakhir surah Al Baqarah

Bagaimanapun lelahnya harimu, jangan lupakan membaca dua ayat terakhir surah Al-Baqarah sebelum terlelap di malam hari.

Allah Ta'ala berfirman:

اٰمَنَ الرَّسُوْلُ بِمَاۤ اُنْزِلَ اِلَيْهِ مِنْ رَّبِّهٖ وَ الْمُؤْمِنُوْنَ ۗ كُلٌّ اٰمَنَ بِا للّٰهِ وَمَلٰٓئِكَتِهٖ وَكُتُبِهٖ وَرُسُلِهٖ ۗ لَا نُفَرِّقُ بَيْنَ اَحَدٍ مِّنْ رُّسُلِهٖ ۗ وَقَا لُوْا سَمِعْنَا وَاَ طَعْنَا غُفْرَا نَكَ رَبَّنَا وَاِ لَيْكَ الْمَصِيْرُ

"Rasul (Muhammad) beriman kepada apa yang diturunkan kepadanya (Al-Qur'an) dari Tuhannya, demikian pula orang-orang yang beriman. Semua beriman kepada Allah, malaikat-malaikat-Nya, kitab-kitab-Nya, dan rasul-rasul-Nya. (Mereka berkata), Kami tidak membeda-bedakan seorang pun dari rasul-rasul-Nya. Dan mereka berkata, Kami dengar dan kami taat. Ampunilah kami, ya Tuhan kami, dan kepada-Mu tempat (kami) kembali." (QS. Al-Baqarah : 285)

لَا يُكَلِّفُ اللّٰهُ نَفْسًا اِلَّا وُسْعَهَا ۗ لَهَا مَا كَسَبَتْ وَعَلَيْهَا مَا اكْتَسَبَتْ ۗ رَبَّنَا لَا تُؤَاخِذْنَاۤ اِنْ نَّسِيْنَاۤ اَوْ اَخْطَأْنَا ۚ رَبَّنَا وَلَا تَحْمِلْ عَلَيْنَاۤ اِصْرًا كَمَا حَمَلْتَهٗ عَلَى الَّذِيْنَ مِنْ قَبْلِنَا ۚ رَبَّنَا وَلَا تُحَمِّلْنَا مَا لَا طَا قَةَ لَنَا بِهٖ ۚ وَا عْفُ عَنَّا ۗ وَا غْفِرْ لَنَا ۗ وَا رْحَمْنَا ۗ اَنْتَ مَوْلٰٮنَا فَا نْصُرْنَا عَلَى الْقَوْمِ الْكٰفِرِيْنَ

"Allah tidak membebani seseorang melainkan sesuai dengan kesanggupannya. Dia mendapat (pahala) dari (kebajikan) yang dikerjakannya dan dia mendapat (siksa) dari (kejahatan) yang diperbuatnya. (Mereka berdoa), Ya Tuhan kami, janganlah Engkau hukum kami jika kami lupa atau kami melakukan kesalahan. Ya Tuhan kami, janganlah Engkau bebani kami dengan beban yang berat sebagaimana Engkau bebankan kepada orang-orang sebelum kami. Ya Tuhan kami, janganlah Engkau pikulkan kepada kami apa yang tidak sanggup kami memikulnya. Maafkanlah kami, ampunilah kami, dan rahmatilah kami. Engkaulah pelindung kami, maka tolonglah kami menghadapi orang-orang kafir." (QS. Al-Baqarah : 286)

Membaca dua ayat terakhir dari surah Al-Baqarah, mengingatkanmu untuk kesekian kalinya, bahwa bagaimanapun lelahnya hari yang kamu jalani, dan keadaan apapun yang Allah tetapkan untukmu, adalah sesuatu yang terbaik dan Allaah telah pertimbangkan bahwa yang demikian telah sesuai dengan kesanggupanmu menurutNya. Percayalah.

Disebutkan dalam hadis dari Abu Mas’ud Al-Badri radhiyallahu ‘anhu bahwasanya Nabi shallallahu ‘alaihi wa sallam bersabda,

مَنْ قَرَأَ بِالآيَتَيْنِ مِنْ آخِرِ سُورَةِ الْبَقَرَةِ فِى لَيْلَةٍ كَفَتَاهُ

“Siapa yang membaca dua ayat terakhir dari surah Al-Baqarah pada malam hari, maka ia akan diberi kecukupan.” (HR. Bukhari dan Muslim)

Hadis di atas menunjukkan tentang keutamaan membaca dua ayat terakhir dari surah Al-Baqarah.

Al-Qadhi ‘Iyadh menyatakan bahwa makna hadis bisa jadi dengan membaca dua ayat terakhir surah Al-Baqarah akan mencukupkan dari shalat malam. Atau orang yang membacanya dinilai menggantungkan hatinya pada Al-Qur’an. Atau bisa pula maknanya terlindungi dari gangguan setan dengan membaca ayat tersebut. Atau bisa jadi dengan membaca dua ayat tersebut akan mendapatkan pahala yang besar karena di dalamnya ada pelajaran tentang keimanan, kepasrahan diri, penghambaan pada Allah dan berisi pula doa kebaikan dunia dan akhirat. (Ikmal Al-Mu’allim, 3: 176, dinukil dari Kunuz Riyadhis Sholihin, 13: 83).

Syaikh Muhammad bin Shalih Al-‘Utsaimin menjelaskan tentang keutamaan dua ayat tersebut ketika dibaca di malam hari, “Ketahuilah, kedua ayat ini jika dibaca di malam hari, maka akan diberi kecukupan. Yang dimaksud diberi kecukupan di sini adalah dijaga dan diperintahkan oleh Allah, juga diperhatikan dalam doa karena dalam ayat tersebut terdapat doa untuk maslahat dunia dan akhirat.” (Ahkam Al-Qur’an Al-Karim, 2: 540-541).

[triastariirfiani]

Dulu sering banget muncul pertanyaan, apakah Allah mengingat saya di antara jumlah hambanya yang begitu banyak? Singkat cerita saat mulai belajar agama mulailah memahami kaidahnya.

Kalau kita interest dengan seseorang, siapapun dia, baik orangtua, sahabat, rekan kerja, pasangan maka secara otomatis pasti dia akan selalu ada dipikiran kita. Dia akan menjadi prioritas utama kita disegala aspek kehidupan.

Hingga kemudiaan ketemu ayat ini:

"Ingatlah pada-Ku, maka Aku akan mengingat kalian.........” (QS. Al Baqarah: 152)"

Mengingat disini dalam artian berdzikir. Kuncinya adalah seberapa sering kita mengingat Allah, maka sesering itulah kita diingat.

Rasulullah shallallahu ‘alaihi wa sallam juga bersabda pada Mu’adz, “Demi Allah, aku sungguh mencintaimu. Aku wasiatkan padamu, janganlah engkau lupa untuk mengucapkan pada akhir shalat (sebelum salam):

ALLAHUMMA A’INNI ‘ALA DZIKRIKA WA SYUKRIKA WA HUSNI ‘IBADATIK [Ya Allah, tolonglah aku agar selalu berdzikir/mengingat-Mu, bersyukur pada-Mu, dan memperbagus ibadah pada-Mu].” (HR. Abu Daud dan Ahmad, shahih)

Ramadhan ini, momen yang banyak mendekatkan kepada kebaikan, kepada Al Qur'an, semoga juga menjadi jalan untuk lisan banyak berdzikir, merenungi penciptaan Allah. Aamiin

A Journey to Complete This Deen

jadi hari ini gue ikut seminar pra-nikah yang kira-kira ke 2 kalinya. Ada 1 lagi tapi terkait rumah tangga, yang lebih luas lagi. Dan ini yang hari ini gue ikutin pembicaranya lumayan gue udah ikut dari lama, designer yang ramah dan keren kontennya namanya bang Thalhah atau bisa dipanggil Al. Singkat cerita, ada kata-kata yang sangat mengena di gue

"Jangan sampai keputusan hidup kita di-drive oleh rasa takut, kekhawatiran dan kecemasan. Hiduplah diatas keputusan yang diambil oleh niat dan keyakinan yang berkesadaran." -thalhahrobbani

Dari kutipan itu, gue sangat merasa relate bahwa menikah adalah pilihan dari buah keyakinan dan kesadaran yang sudah didasari oleh takwa kepada Sang Pencipta. Berat ya bos. Tapi emang ternyata menikah itu sebesar itu porsinya dalam islam. Separuh agama cuyy, separuhnya itu FULL. Sisa dari separuhnya adalah ibadah-ibadah lainnya. Maka dari itu, kayak wah gak bisa dibiarin begitu aja ckck.

Itu adalah shock pertama yang baru gue sadari saat mengikuti webinar itu. Shock keduanya adalah, alasan gue menikah masih didasari oleh rasa takut karena umur orang tua dan gue juga yang udah gak muda. Bang Thalhah bilang kalau kita hidup atas dasar ketakutan maka kita akan hidup dengan ketakutan lainnya. Ini agak mainbowling ya, karena memang pasti kita dihadapkan oleh ketakutan itu hanya bagaimana dari ketakutan itu membangun kesadaran kita dan membuat keputusan dengan sadar yang mana ada konsekuensinya juga. Makin berat ya bos.

Tapi iya juga, kalau dipikir pikir, yang akan menjalani pernikahan yang separuh agama itu adalah kita sendiri. Bukan orang tua. Tapi bukan berarti kita abai dengan kondisi orang tua. Dari sini, gue sadar, umur orang tua adalah pengingat, kalau kita sudah cukup matang dan harus mulai bersiap ke langkah berikutnya dengan meluruskan niat karena ibadah, karena Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. Berat bukan? Iya, tapi Allah pasti kasih kemudahan kalau Allah ridho, Orang Tua ridho.

And, last but not least. Perkara ketakutan ini ternyata sudah ada dalam Al Qur'an, Allah bilang dalam surat Al Baqarah ayat 155, kalau kita akan diuji oleh rasa takut. Jadi gak cuma dalam hal menikah saja. Tapi semua aspek dalam hidup. Terus gue merasa realized lagi kalau suasana kantor gue ternyata penuh dengan keputusan yang didasari rasa takut alias fomo. Pun gue sendiri mungkin juga begitu, hanya rasa takut yang menguasai kurang disadari dengan keyakinan dan konsekuensinya.

Segitu aja, mungkin kalau besok ada lagi gue akan coba tulis lagi disini terkait insight yang gue dapet dan menohok. Semangat berjuang!

[myreligionislam]

why is the belief in akhirah important

In Islamic doctrine, Al-Akhirah is necessary because the pious often suffer and unbelievers often prosper and enjoy themselves in the temporal world. To rectify that and to bring justice, Al-Akhirah with rewards of Jannah and punishment of Jahannam is necessary.

The hereafter is a form of faith

There are three basic principles of Islamic faith. Namely: Tawheed or Oneness of God, Risalat i.e. Prophets and Messengers and Akhirat i.e. Hereafter. Hereafter is the return to eternal life after death. A thorough judgment of all the actions of this life and the proper good or bad results and the enjoyment of heaven and hell as a consequence. Belief in the Hereafter is one of the five characteristics of believers. In this context, Allah Almighty says in the Holy Qur'an, "And they firmly believe in the Hereafter." (Sura-2 Baqarah, verse: 4).

Human life spans four worlds. Alame Arwaah, Alame Dunya, Alame Barzakh and Alame Akhirat.

There are many verses in the Holy Quran about the Hereafter. For example: 'And certainly the Hereafter is better or better for you than the first world. Soon your Lord will bestow upon you, so that you may be satisfied.

Hereafter is eternal, there is no death. 'Darul Akhira' is mentioned in many verses of the Holy Qur'an about the Hereafter. For example: "The Hereafter is better for the Muttakis." (Sura-7 Araf, verse: 169). (O Messenger of God) you say! O my people, do good deeds as much as you can from your position, I am also doing; Soon you will know for whom the good abode of the end.' (Sura-6 Anam, verse: 135). "Allah is calling you to the abode of peace in the Hereafter." (Sura-10 Yunus, verse: 25). Peace to you! Because you have been patient, how good is the end of the house of Paradise. 'Those who do good deeds, they will get welfare in this world, the abode of the Hereafter is better; How good is the abode of the Muttakis.' (Sura-16 Nahl, verse: 30). "Seek the abode of the Hereafter with what Allah has given you." (Surah 28:77)
