Allah swt is forgiving

Ya Al Barr, we seek your forgiveness. We may have thought or did something which might have derailed us to return to You. So forgive us! Remove all our suffering instantly! And give us good happenings! 

The word " بَلَاء " (bala)is wrongly translated as affiction, test or trial.

 In 7.17 " بَلَاءً حَسَنًا " means good(hasan) happening. Thus "bala" means happening.

Likewise the word " وَلَنَبْلُوَنَّكُم " in 2.155. In particular the word " بْلو "

ba-laam-wau which means “ happening" by good or evil”.

Same with the word "فَتَنَّا" " fatana" which means fascination, attraction etc. in 20.85.
And God does not need to test us as God knows our piety since our embryo stage!

According to 53.32 God knows our piety. 
"They avoid major sins and immorality, except for minor offences. Your Lord is with vast forgiveness. He has been fully aware of you since He initiated you from the earth, and while you were embryos in the wombs of your mothers. Therefore, do not ascribe piety to yourselves; He is fully aware of the righteous."

If God Knows about your piety what is the need for God to test us? 

Our God is not a sadistic God as depicted by majority of teachers. "Your Lord is with vast forgiveness." "The Most Compassionate, The Most Merciful! " 1.1
يا رب اغفر لنا
⚘️Oh Lord Pardon us!🤲

The Key of the Treasures of the Heavens and the Earth

W hen I wrote the post of my visit to see the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) , you may be wondering how that can be? To tell you the truth I felt the same way. But it is a norm for great learned people of the past to have experience of dreaming the great Prophet. I think it all decided by Allah swt to have a glimpse of the sweetness of faith. It is all about our intention in this life. What we actually want in the inner recesses of our hearts. What you want is what you get. I will also like to give some information of what I do in my daily life. 12 years ago I got the opportunity of a book on Islam. Therein I found a story of the Holy Prophet Muhammad saw. It is reported that ‘ Uthman ibn Affan, may Allah be pleased with him, requested further information about Allah’s injunction of the Keys of the Treasure of the Heavens and the Earth (mentioned several times in the Quran). The Prophet saws said to him “You have inquired of me something which nobody has ever asked me befo...

Is Time Travelling possible

⚘️It' Friday again. May Allah swt bless and give us goodness in this world and in the hereafter, and grant us Jannathul Firdous.🤲 On the day of Judgement the Prophet will lodge the following complaint. "Then the Messenger will say: "O my Lord! Truly my people took this Qur'an for just foolish nonsense." May Allah swt protect us from this and enable us to read, understand and follow the Quran only. An interesting part in this century is time travelling. We have seen it in movies, you tube and many other social media dramatising this phenomenon. Is time travel possible? Are there any references from the Reading (Quran)? The classic example of going into the future is depicted in 18:25. Its about the seven youth who wanted to safeguard their faith. A notorious King wanted everyone to acknowledge him as god. To this the seven youth ran away and sought God's help in a cave. To protect their faith! "they said: "Our Lord, bring us a mercy from Your...

Gazzali's Jinn - Introduction

Introduction Initially I was about to write something that can be readily appreciated by the masses, which is economics. Endless wants but limited means. Economics theories like the subject on Jinn, is equally filed in the comfort slot and collecting dust. Economics is useful in daily lives of people but needed a different perspective and change to make them most practical. During a recession, it is economics norm to cut interest rates to stimulate borrowing and spur on production, consumption and give a boost to the economy. In boom times, the rate is raised to restrain business investment and consumer borrowing to level off excess optimism and prices. But business firms borrow when they can make money and not because interest rates are low. Against conventional wisdom that consumer is king, firms decide what to make and then persuade people to buy it through advertising. Like economics, religion does play an important part in my life-in fact in most people’s lives. Economics is real...
