 Raghad Ebied -

We are all inevitably going to face moments of disappointment in our life – disappointments from work, family, friends, and even ourselves. That’s the very nature of the world we live in – it’s not ideal, it’s not perfect and shortcomings are bound to happen from others and from ourselves.
The question is how do we deal with these disappointments – how do we reconcile our need to have fulfilling jobs and relationships and fulfill our own promises to ourselves when we as well as others are humans who can be weak and forgetful?
How do we forgive when we’re hurt? How do we “forget” when we need to move on? How do we overcome intense feelings of disappointment and sometimes disbelief about what happens around us?
For some people, they indeed feel everything so much more intensely – including joy and sorrow, pain and relief, disappointment and awe. Maybe their tears suddenly start to flow when they see a child crying because they had to say good bye to a loved one or lost something special. Maybe they worry a lot when they hear about family or friends going through a difficult time.
An ability to feel what others feel, to know how others feel, to support others through what they feel. Cherish this blessing. Certainly, do not feel ashamed of it. And use it to bring comfort to others.These are the emotions of compassion, of empathy and of sensitivity to those around you or what some may call the “Highly sensitive person” (HSP), which is actually found in 20% of our human population. Allah has bestowed you with a blessing that you can use to bring comfort to others.
The other side of this blessing though could be your sensitivity to negativity, criticism, and disappointment. Don’t feel guilty about minimizing these situations when you can help it – and if they can’t be minimized because they are a part of your daily life with family or work for example, one can learn how to manage them.

Oh Gebet, mein Augenlicht! Ich entflehe tausendmal Verzeihung von meinem Rabb und von dir, da ich dich verlassen habe. Tausendfach entschuldige ich mich bei dir und erfrische meinen Iman! Erneut glaube ich an meinen Rabb und an dich. Ich will dich lebendig verrichten, indem ich dich neu entdeckt habe, neu verstanden habe, neu erlernt habe! Ich will dich verrichten mit Demut, Bewusstsein und mit Ikhlas, als wärst du neu offenbart worden und dich so verstehen.

Ich habe mein Herz vor spirituellen Krankheiten, Schmutz und Rost befreit. Meinen Magen habe ich von jeglichem Haram gereinigt. Ich habe alle Hindernisse aufgehoben und mich erneut Dir zugewandt. Deswegen inspiziere ich Dich erneut und versuche Dich zu lernen. Deine Wichtigkeit, deinen Wert, deine Weisheit und dein Wesen erforsche ich erneut und versuche danach zu handeln.

Oh mein Augenlicht, mein Gebet! Sehe nicht auf meine Unwissenheit und meine Ghafla! Sehe nicht auf mein Desinteresse dir gegenüber! Bitte verlass mich nicht! Beraube mich nicht von solch einer großen Barmherzigkeit, Dankbarkeit, Gottesvertrauen, Du'a, Segen und Vergebung, so wie du es bist!

In this Quran verse from Surah Al-Furqan, Allah provides a glimpse of some of the characteristics of His slaves that he calls Ibad-ur-Rahman.
islam on Who are the ‘Ibad ur Rahman’ (Slaves of Allah)?
63. And the slaves of the Most Beneficent (Allah) are those who walk on the earth in humility and sedateness, and when the foolish address them (with bad words) they reply back with mild words of gentleness.
64. And those who spend the night before their Lord, prostrate and standing.
65. And those who say: “Our Lord! Avert from us the torment of Hell. Verily! Its torment is ever an inseparable, permanent punishment.”
Quran (Surah Al-Furqan, Verses 63-65)
  • In these verses attention is being drawn to the two patterns of character and life: first of those who had accepted the Message of the Holy Prophet and were following it, and the second of those who persisted in the ways of ignorance.
  • The prominent characteristics of the true Believers are:
  • They walk on the earth with dignity, serenity and humility, not with arrogance and pride. (“Walking humbly” does not mean walking like a weak or sick person, nor does it imply the gait of a hypocrite who walks ostentatiously to show humility or fear of God. According to Traditions, the Holy Prophet himself used to walk with firm, quick steps.)
  • If the ignorant people insult them with bad words, they do not respond likewise, but they forgive and overlook, and say nothing but good words. (This is what the Messenger of Allah did: the more ignorant the people, the more patient he would be.)
  • The true servants of the “Merciful” do not believe in “vengeance”, though they may have to deal with ignorant people who behave rudely and insolently towards them. If they happen to come across such people, they wish them peace and turn away. (The same has been expressed in Surah AI-Qasas: 55, thus:

Jihad is the apex of Islam and the positions of those who perform it are the loftiest positions in Paradise, and likewise they have a high status in the life of this world.

We all should take in the example of Muhammad, Allah's peace and blessings be upon him, for he was at the highest peak of it, for he mastered all types of it:
“He struggled (Jihad) with his heart and soul, by calling (to Islam) and proclaiming (the truth), with the sword and the spear. His hours were devoted to Jihad, which is why he was the best in all the worlds in remembering Allah and the greatest in Allah’s Estimation.”
Allah, Most High commanded him to perform Jihad from the time He sent him, for He said:
“So do not obey the disbelievers, and strive against them with the Qur'an a great striving." Qur'an, 25:52

Jihad is on four levels:

    1. Jihad of the self, and this is also on four levels:

”The Mujahid is one who performs Jihad of his self in obedience to Allah.” [1]
  • The First: That he struggles against it by learning guidance.
  • The Second: That he struggles against it by acting upon that guidance once he has learnt it.
  • The Third: That he struggles against it by calling people to the guidance, for if he does not, he will be one of those who hides what Allāh has revealed.
  • The Fourth: That he does so with patient perseverance in the face of the hardships which afflict one who is calling to Allāh and that he bears all of this for Allāh.
If all of these fours are fulfilled, he will be one of the Rabbaniyyūn[2], for the Salaf are in agreement that a scholar is not one of the Rabbaniyyūn until he knows the truth, acts upon it and teaches it.

‘Why are you Muslim?’ It may sound like an obvious question, but often many of us don’t have a clear answer to it. I remember being asked this question by my elder brother when I was fourteen years of age, my initial answer was ‘Well, our family is Muslim’, his reply to this made me think, he said, ‘If your family were Hindu or Christian, would you be as well?’. I replied with a strong ‘No, Islam is the truth’, the discussion that followed made me question the basis of my life and changed my life for ever. He triggered me to think about how to prove that Islam is the truth rather than just believing it emotionally or blindly. In fact Allah (swt) has condemned people for imitating their forefathers and adopting their belief without clear evidence.

In the Holy Qur’an, He (swt) says:

“And verily guess is no substitute for the truth.” [TMQ 53:28]

“They have no (certain) knowledge. They follow nothing but conjecture. For surely; they killed him not (‘Isa).” [TMQ 4:157]

"These are nothing but names which you have devised, you and your fathers, for which Allah has sent down no authority. They follow nothing but conjecture and what their Nafs desire. Even though there has already come to them the Guidance from their Rabb" [TMQ 53:23]

"Do you have Ilm (knowledge) for that which you claim so that you provide us with? You follow nothing but conjecture (Zann)." [TMQ 6:148]
