Fear is a type of worship.

Fear is a type of worship that Allah commanded us. 
The evidence for fear is the saying of the Most High:

So do not fear them, but fear Me and beware of disobeying Me, if you are truly believers.
[Quran 03:175]

[Fear is of three types :

{ Fear of worship: It is fear of the worshipper for the one he worships. It involves complete submission and glorification for the one being feared. It is major shirk if done for other than Allah.

Natural fear : Such as fearing a fire, an enemy, a predatory animal, one's parents etc, This is permissible.

Prohibited fear: Loosing hope in the mercy of Allah or obeying creation in disobedience to the Creator. }
Reference : (From the book of "Explanation of the three fundamental principles."  By Shayk Haytham ibn Muhammad Sarhān.)]

As the modern world advances with technology, committing inappropriate and unlawful acts from the comfort of our own homes is one click away. 

Our innocent boys and girls are getting addicted to pornography and having relationships outside marriage that can lead them to commit abortions. It becomes simple to carry out these awful deeds because of technology.

In a world rapidly turning digital, we became internet users more than ever. Giving charity and Islamic lectures are mostly done through the internet. Yet, technology is also one of the reasons why we lack fear; we became this person that is so attached to our mobiles that we couldn't even get up, perform salah, or read Quran.

No repentance. No remembrance.

We read and watch mostly about the lives of someone else instead of studying the lives of the Prophets, when Allah had put them in situations where we could learn how we ought to deal with our problems and how we should live our lives.

We are in deep fantasies that we became busy working on our social media lives, occupied working on our status, willing to do anything to please everyone and our very own selves except Allah. We are eager to obey creation in disobedience to the Creator because we arrogantly have no dread of God. Instead, we fear what the world will say about us.

God had commanded us to fear Him. So, do we fear Him? When was the last time we acted out in obedience because we feared Allah?

Fearing Allah will protect us not only from the punishment in the hereafter but also from the harm in this life. If we make decisions and choose our actions out of fear, it will lead us to a life that is full of harmony, blessings, and satisfaction.

Allah the Most high said:

Those who spend their wealth in the way of Allah, and then do not follow up  what they spent with reminders of their generosity or with insults, will have their reward with their Lord- they have nothing to fear, nor shall they grieve.
(Quran 2:262)

"...So do not fear them, but fear me, that I may complete My blessings upon you, and that you may be guided."
(Quran 02:150)
 
As for those who feared their Lord: for them will be gardens beneath which rivers flow, wherein they will abide forever- hospitality from Allah. What Allah possesses is best for the just.
(Quran 3:198)

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.   For born Muslims; a xerox copy of Aqeeqa -xerox copy of passport - 1 piece of 2x

The Essential Role of a Muslim Woman in Society

I grew up in a small town where you’ll find mansions that were built at the time of the Spanish Colonial. These ancestral houses are captivating and still standing firm like the Mount Makiling that you’ll get a glimpse of from our balcony. This is my hometown where my grandmother raised me. My grandmother got married at a very young age to an older man who came from a well-off family. She was illiterate and could only write her name for signing legal papers. She sacrificed her early age to look after her younger siblings, which caused her not to attend school. But despite this, she is contemplative, selfless, affectionate, and a loving daughter. Even with her husband's problematic habits and age difference, she remained committed to being a dutiful wife. She neither disrespected her husband nor rebelled against him. Her passion for keeping the house tidy, and cooking delicious dishes are among her skills to please my grandfather, and I admire her for that. "Men are in charge o

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
