A Delayed dua, Not a Denial!




I learned something recently. We all know that we are naturally impatient and hasty, right? That's why we often feel upset when we can't get what we want right away.

When we watch a series on Netflix, we can't wait to see the next episode, so we end up binge-watching. If something bad happens to the protaganist, we feel a bit blue, even though we all know that in every story there's always a happy ending. 

I asked myself, why feel down when there's always a rainbow after the rain? Why feel blue when you know you'll get what you want, eventually? 

Allah may delay our dua, but he hears us and he never forgets our prayers and he always gives us what is best for us at the right time. 

I think we all need to remind ourselves--we can let go of our horses if we're tired of waiting; however, it's far wiser if we hold them steady and enjoy our journey while waiting for our prayers to be fullfilled.

And know that whatever we have right now is what's best for us and whatever we don't have is something could harm us. So, why rush toward something you're not yet ready for---especially if it might only bring pain?

How to get OMA certificate in Manila?

Assalamualaykum! Today, I will be sharing how to get a "Certificate of Muslim Filipino Tribal Membership" and a "Certificate of Confirmation of Conversion to Islam," also known as an OMA Certificate.   When I converted to Islam, I didn't have any idea about the OMA certificate until I decided to go to Saudi Arabia; that's the only time I discovered that I needed it for visa stamping.   I've written this because not everyone knows where to go or how to get it. The good news is that the OMA certificate is completely free! and you can have it in just 30 minutes. Now, let me guide you step-by-step on how to get it. Note :  The policy and process might change, as I have written this 2017 Comment down below if you have experienced a new policy; it will be very helpful to others.   Let's make sure first that you have all the requirements that you need.   Requirements for born Muslims: -xerox copy of Aqeeqa -xerox copy of passport - 1...

Allah is sufficient

Wealth is everyone's dream and trial. Rich or poor, we all want and need money. And with this, Allah tests us. Will you remain grateful? patient? What do we do when we finally have it? Some of us desperately want this because we are tired of being mocked, belittled, and cut because we somehow have nothing to offer. But why do we want to please these people? When Allah himself doesn't like these individuals who prefer this world. Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala said: مَنْ كَفَرَ بِا للّٰهِ مِنْۢ بَعْدِ اِيْمَا نِهٖۤ اِلَّا مَنْ اُكْرِهَ وَقَلْبُهٗ مُطْمَئِنٌّ بِۢا لْاِ يْمَا نِ وَلٰـكِنْ مَّنْ شَرَحَ بِا لْكُفْرِ صَدْرًا فَعَلَيْهِمْ غَضَبٌ مِّنَ اللّٰهِ ۚ وَلَهُمْ عَذَا بٌ عَظِيْمٌ "Whoever disbelieves in Allah after his belief, except for one who is forced [to renounce his religion] while his heart is secure in faith, but those who [willingly] open their breasts to disbelief, upon them is wrath from Allah, and for them is a great punishment;" ذٰلِكَ ب...

Quick Reminder For Ramadan

  Quick Reminder for Ramadan: The most blessed month is coming, the month when Allah revealed the Quran, the time Allah forgives the sinners, and rewards a good deed multiple times. It is a month when we can bring ourselves closer to Allah. The time to enrich ourselves with piousness. Our opportunity to elevate our ranks in the next life. Let’s take advantage of this holy month to ask forgiveness for what evil we accumulated this year. Let’s reconnect with Allah and strive to improve ourselves. The scholars said, Allah will only accept a good deed when it’s done under two conditions : 1. The muslim should be sincere and only intend to please Allah alone. Not for show-off, not to gain fame, but to please the Almighty. 2. The good deed should be according to the law of Allah and the Sunnah. It should be free from innovation and falsehood. For instance, I remember a sister who is committing Riba told me that whenever she pays her loan she only intends to pay her debt but not the ...
