Reliance is a type of worship that most us fail to remember.


Reliance is a type of worship that most of us miss in our daily lives. Some of us are too dependent on our own selves. We worn out our body to work hard towards these "dreams", "status", and "fear" of poverty. We forget everything that is happening to us are all temporary meaning this will all come to pass and good things will eventually come. We fail to remember the beautiful attributes of Allah, that he is The Provider, The Best of Sustainer and the Most Generous.

I've read a post of a person who is worried about their debts and her husband spending too much on his parents. Muslims that are relying on bank loaning house, car and etc with riba (interest) or scamming people to build their "dream house" such lack of patience towards goals in this life. These worldly matters tend to make us vulnerable on disobeying Allah. 

When Allah said:

"There is no moving creature on earth but that its sustenance lies with Allah."
[Quran 11:6]

"And your Lord is going to give you, and you will be satisfied."
[ Quran 93:5]

These reminders and inspirations from Allah are not here for us to do nothing and be lazy yet it's here to give us hope and keep us away from unlawful earnings.

We all have our weaknesses and it is fine to feel scared, worried but its also not wrong to be patient, hope and rely on Allah. We make mistakes still it should be corrected, we commit sins nevertheless sincere repentance is a must. We are not here to be perfect though we are here to be tested with our patience, obedience and sincerity. 


Evidence for reliance is His saying, the Most High:

"Upon Allah, place your reliance if you are true Believers" [Quran 5:23]

"And whoever relies upon Allah – then He is sufficient for him. Indeed, Allah will accomplish His purpose. Allah has already set for everything a [decreed] extent.” 
[Quran 65:3]

I ask Allah the Glorious, the Mighty, by His beautiful Names and Attributes to accept this as having been done sincerely for His sake alone. I ask Him to bring me its benefits during my lifetime and after my death. May those who read it, those who share it benefit from it also. Surely He, the Glorified, is Capable of all things. May the peace and blessings of Allah be upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and Companions and whoever follows them in piety until the Day of Judgement.

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...

3 Things you should do When Allah gives you a Trial.

photo by: Francesco Tommasini 3 Things to do When Allah Gives you a Trial.   Years ago, I had to warn someone who was oblivious about people with bad intentions. The culprits were the people I lov, who were important to me. Nevertheless, I still did what I had to do, the right thing.  What I did resulted in a catastrophe; it was unexpected and took me by surprise. I only wanted nothing but to save them from Allah’s anger. When they found out what I did, they hated me, they slandered me, and they cut me. It was devastating. I cried in my sujood. All I wanted was to please Allah and for the truth to prevail. But somehow, after my concerted effort, the person didn’t believe me and got victimized. Indeed, after this event, I learned to accept that there are things we can’t control. We must be patient and surrender to Allah’s plan. That’s my story and I’m sure it’s different from yours. Nevertheless, whether you lost something or someo...
