This is simple. If there is a God, then people striving for him are right.
If not you are right.
That to thy Lord is the final Goal
[53:42 quran]
Some time in assuming exact opposite helps.
Let consider till the age of 18 no harm would come upon children.. and no hunger come upon them, right ?
What would happen then??
Think about it… There would be no need of parents in the world!!!
Evolution :halo:would take away mom’s mamta.. fathers wont have to work.
We would become robot with this one change…
Dude.. there is no batter design then what allah designed.
dude… God so much emphasize on helping poor… that when muslims have to help some one.. they take it as responsibility..
And after help.. with their own money… they only feel relief as they took a burden off their shoulders.
see the zakat thread.. no one is watching no returns need to entered.
yet people take it as responsibility.
It broke our heart to pieces too. Its done. When it was going on, there must be many people who must have chance to help that suffering soul.
But now, let it be between her and allah..
Why dont you pray to God about her.. send her your peace…
1. Procrastination [telling self to start praying from tomorrow and tomorrow never comes] 2. Laziness: **i'll do a little later and then a still a bit later and the times to pray is gone
**3. Being in a state of uncleanliness [naa-paakii]: **for whatever reason and delay in taking bath of cleanliness [Ghusl-e-tahaarat]
**4. laziness in making wudu: **a lot of people just can't get up and make the wudu
**5. Preoccupation: sometimes people are busy, want to take a nap, not being able to wake up etc.
how did you assume that I was talking about charity? What I meant by sacrifice is exactly what you said. If I meant charity, I would say so. You don't think people can be charitable without a driving factor and that is your opinion. Some people just give and don't really think why they should. There are millions of selfless people out there who don't need a reason to give and they don't spend any time thinking about the reasons and rewards. Believe it or not. Again, it is your opinion that motive must be there.

From an evolutionist point of view to just give makes no sense ... Unless it is tied in to some personal benefit. Why should it make us feel good to give? You see I'm not saying atheists cannot give, but I am questioning why they should give? Why should they if not driven by some internal need for justice ... Where does that sense come from? So there may be examples of where people are doing that, but by doing that they don't make themselves look better for it, they are just demonstrating that even atheists will do things out of "feeling" and "empathy" just like theists .... Although I do see and have seen empirically that many atheists will subdue their nature in giving for the sake of it ... Just like they subdue their nature for worshiping God. If there are modern movements that are trying to show atheists are as sacrificing or charitable or more so than theists this is purely to counter the theists in their arguments and they have a reason to do this too ... It is to get more people on their side ... Atheism is a missionary movement many people are seeking out others to convert, because they feel 'wrongly' that theism is to be blamed for lots of human problems ... But the reality is they want to eliminate Divine authority and put themselves in that position ... Atheism from above is simply the modern Pharaoh movement ...
My my opinion regarding motive and reason ... Is the very thing that atheists use to argue there is no God ... So consistency is important ... Much is being done in recent days to make atheists look like angels ... I have seen in real life that is not the case ...
What if you feel afraid and bad for not praying but despite best intentions your heart just can’t take that step? Damn Iblees is locked up, can’t even blame him.
God guides those whom take steps towards him. He wants to guide us and wants to be successful in this life and the next. However we cannot expect guidance to fall onto our laps without us making any effort for it. Just like you cant pass an exam without making an effort to revise. As with any habit for example eating healthy or starting at the gym it maybe hard at first as getting into any new habit is. However if we are consistent and get through the first week or two and are consistent then we will find that it will become easier and easier. However in the case of prayers it is not an option that we “should” pray but we must pray because it is our very purpose in life. As Allah is testing us to see which of us will be firm and consistent in our prayers through the distractions of daily life and which of us will put him first.
At the end of the day there are no excuses because if we really want to do something then we will. Like if we have work in the morning then we will get up on time and get ready and go to work. Similarly we must apply this mindset that we must do all of our prayers on time no matter what because it is our purpose in life and Allah is well aware of what is in our hearts. He knows that we are putting this world.ly life first when this life is nothing but a transitioning phase to the real world in the Hereafter.
The very first question he will ask us about on the day of Judgement when we stand before him is about our Salaah. If we pass this question then all the other questions will be easier but if we fail then all the other questions will be far more difficult then it is not looking good for us. This life is so temporary. We are here today and we may be gone tomorrow. So we must get things into perspective and that is to prepare for our departure from this world now before it is too late.
