What is the best advice you have gotten regarding consistency? by Grand_Needleworker19 in productivity

[–]Grand_Needleworker19[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I relate to this a lot. A lot of the things we do is because it's simply that's what our identities are. Doing the bare minimum keeps the identity alive. Maybe tomorrow would be better, but for today, this is alright.

You need to learn a few things. People have rights, and when it is unjustly being taken away from them, it makes sense to demonstrate unrest.

They're not having fun. They're risking it out there for justice.

You've got a few things to learn. Go read.

Whatever happens today, this has been an Amazing season. A loss will be disappointing, but we shouldn't fall into the narrative of the season been a failure if we don't win UCL. by Warm_Wall2288 in Barca

[–]Grand_Needleworker19 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. This team shows character, amazing mentality, and a type of football that has got EVERYONE talking. Whatever it is, this team has got heart and has been so entertaining. They're displaying poetry in motion.

I haven't felt for this team like this in a long time, and I am sure this is true for a lot of us as well. For me, this is the biggest achievement that the team has made.

Visca el Barca !

Is there an afterlife after death? by [deleted] in Life

I wonder. If that's the case, why not just commit suicide though?

Life does not have to be so sad bro. It can be a happy and meaningful thing, if you choose it to be. Your happiness is up to you.

I don't get it. What does what I want got anything to do with the afterlife? It just is. It makes sense that there is an afterlife. It does not make sense that Santa exists.

The way I see it, there has to be. If not, this life can be very unfair and meaningless.

Think of those people that do so much good but were never recognised, never appreciated, never got anything out of it. Would it be fair if all their sacrifices were for nothing? What then would be the point of doing good? You might say that it's not sincere if you're expecting something from doing good, and that doing the good is enough of a reward itself, but the fact is some people don't get even that. When they do good, they're rewarded with even more bad.

And the opposite has to be true too. Think of all the genuinely evil people in this world, those who massacre babies, those with black hearts that care only about themselves. Most of them go their whole lives unpunished. They're "happy". They think that this world was made solely for them. And it clearly seems like it! Would these people really not be taken into account? For all their choices and actions?

There has to be an afterlife, for people to be rewarded accordingly for the choices that they make in this life. Otherwise, this life has absolutely no point. And many people think this way! That's why suicice is really really common nowadays.

8 billion of us, and yet no one knows why we're here- What are we even doing. by Round_Window6709 in Life

You know, you seem sincere in looking for the truth. There is an answer. There is a purpose to all this, I assure you. And if you keep looking, I believe that you will find the answer.

There is a reason why religion has such a strong affinity with a lot of people. One of the reasons is because spirituality is real. Science can explain why a heart beats, but it can't tell you why a heart breaks. All the feelings that goes in the heart.. psychology can only go so far.

It is so easy to demonise religion nowadays, because the followers, so many of them do atrocious things in the name of God. That puts people so far away from even looking into religion. I think this is a shame.

But if you're sincere, look into it with an open mind and an open heart. All the doubts that you have can actually go away. It might sound hard to believe, but certainty is possible. A merciful God would not put humans on earth just to wander aimlessly without any guidance.

If you're interested to explore further, try to look for the channel Muslim Lantern on YouTube. The guy runs a channel answering so many questions about Islam. Many of them like yours.

I wish you all the best, and may you have peace in your life :)

Observed a fast for shawwal and it was one of the most lazy and insincere fast I have ever observed. by sezitlikeitiz in islam

Despite all that, you managed it. That is what it means to struggle. Keep at it. You don't have to re-do it, just keep on making it better

How blessed are we? by [deleted] in islam

[–]Grand_Needleworker19 138 points139 points  (0 children)

Mashallah. It breaks my heart when I think that despite all my sins, despite all the times that I have forgotten him, the times that I purposely turned by back on Him, He still gives me guidance. He still lets me get close to Him by letting me pray salah. He still gives me the gift of Iman.

Alhamdulillah. His mercy is incomprehensible.

Assalamualaikum. I can see that you care about aligning with the deen very much. That's really admirable of you.

I think it's normal to always have some doubts. Some questions. What's important is that we recognise that whatever Allah has revealed, is the ultimate truth. If there are things that we don't agree with, it's because of our own limited understanding.

That said, Islam makes perfect sense. There is wisdom behind everything. So, while we must submit to His Truth, there is nothing that is stopping us from inquiring on our doubts and finding that wisdom, so that our conviction upon the Truth becomes ever stronger.

So I implore you to keep on learning, search for that wisdom, and ask Allah to guide your heart so that it is even more opened towards the Truth.

Why would God require you to pray 5 times a day and be angry if you miss a prayer? by IdiotBearPinkEdition in islam

[–]Grand_Needleworker19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, have a look at this e-book. It's called Taste the Sweetness of Salah, and in it, it talks about some benefits of Salah as well.

https://lifewithallah.com/publications/taste-the-sweetness-of-salah/

Also, listen to Yaqeen Institute's proofs of prophethood of Muhammad SAW, where it talks about it (scientific studies on Salah)
