My journey begins

Assalamu'alaikum everyone, Islam is the religion, Muslims are those who are part of the religion Islam. Islam is PERFECT.. The Muslims? Not so much. We're only humans afterall... what do you expect? But wait..Is that how it should be? Should we just leave it the way it is? It's true we can never be perfect but that doesn't mean we should stop striving to be. Allah placed us on this earth for a reason: "..Indeed, I will make upon the earth a successive authority." They said, "Will You place upon it one who causes corruption therein and sheds blood, while we declare Your praise and sanctify You?" Allah said, "Indeed, I know that which you do not know.." [Surah Al-Baqarah:30]  We are .. put on this earth to be leaders! Not just to other people but to ourselves first and foremost!  In the above ayat, the angels mentioned the humans' capabilities of destruction and corruption.. And Allah answers by stating that Allah knows

Assalamualaikum everyone, The past 4 months have been amazing, unbelievable and just life-changing. Never in my wildest dreams, did I imagine any of these events happening, ever. And a part of me is glad I didn't. There's an element of gratefulness that comes out of the surprise and initial "shock". And that's life, it's unexpected but we need to have faith that everything happens for a reason, and Indeed they do. As Muslims, we believe in  pre-ordainment. That is, what Allah s.w.t. has pre-ordained for us, will definitely happen. "Never will we be struck except by what Allah has decreed for us; He is our protector." And upon Allah let the believers rely." (Surah At-Tawbah:51) Therefore, we should have faith in Allah and His plans for us, surely Allah knows best.  “…and it may be that you dislike a thing which is good for you and that you like a thing which is bad for you. Allah knows but you do not know.”  (Surah Baqarah: 216). Al-Ha
