[@4everfaithful4]

I was abused as a child. PTSD made me sick, along with a severe mood disorder. I was addicted to substances to manage the pain related to my mental health suffering. Allah brought me back. I was in the dark, lost, alone, misunderstood. Allah alone was there for me when I felt physical pain from a broken heart, mind, and body. Allah is my guiding light. When my mind starts swirling with scenarios related to my PTSD Allah is the one I focus on. I know that Allah is true even when the words in my head are confused. Allah has helped me so much. The love of Allah is my hearts aim. I pray you all find your way to Jannah in the best way. Thank you for hearing my story.

[@itzimani]

I need to believe in Allah and a hereafter because I need to believe and know that at the end of the day evil will be punished and good will be rewarded by the best and fairest of judges. There are so many people that die everyday that have been so evil but are praised in this world. I need to believe that their day of reckoning will come. This life is short but the hereafter is forever. The evil people will definitely sow what they have reaped. May Allah bless and have mercy on all the poor innocent souls and ease their suffering.

@STRANGE UNIVERSE STRANGE WORLD Ameen shukran two ALLAH And SAW Bless you 💓

[@zeenathemraj8262]

So true

[@ajoddud9250]

I feel just like you. My faith is strengthened because I NEED to believe that all those who are suffering, all those born into pain, all those who have no where to turn but the horrors of their environment, that there is something better for them in the hereafter. This world cannot be the end for these people who have nothing. Otherwise what's the point? May Allah reward all those who suffer and are in pain with beautiful lives beyond their imagination, Ameen

Don't forget about Afghanistan being in war more than 40 years

[@denisezi5055]

Alisena Alibakhsh Afghanistan is never considered in these discussions and I really wonder why?

[@alisenaalibakhsh8363]

@@denisezi5055 I Don't know why people are just being thinking about its own country but not thinking about a Muslim country like Afghanistan thinking it for their own feelings talking about Islam but not really not talking about Afghan people suffering for more than 40 years hope I can be helpful to make some one to understand .

It was Soo moving when he said at the end of khutbah: "Just to assure you..We are not going to collect fundraiser" That's was very powerful.. thats what we need we need to be Muslims stepping forward for ourselves not waiting for others to always tell us and babysit us for everything as if we are children.

[@daliatalat5341]

"Man once said that i wanted to ask God why he allows oppression and evil and suffering and poverty in the world but i was afraid he might ask me the same question"

[@daliatalat5341]

@jaydee040 Human is the successor of God on the Earth, and God has commanded man not to corruption on earth. Therefore, what a person does in terms of murder, crime and corruption, God will ask him for it on the Day of Judgment , and we all know that. God said that on the Quran "من عمل صالحا فلنفسه ومن اساء فعليها وما ربك بظلام للعبيد" Whoever works righteousness benefits his own soul; whoever works evil, it is against his own soul: nor is thy Lord ever unjust (in the least) to His Servants.

[@daliatalat5341]

@jaydee040 The human mind is far too short to understand God's wisdom in all that is happening on the earth. It is up to you to believe in God or not, but you will know the truth on the day of judgment. May Allah guide you to the truth, amen

[@daliatalat5341]

@jaydee040 So, you see that a person was created in vain, let him destroy and do whatever he wants as long as he does not ask what he does? belive me you dont know anything,just live your life as you are and let us and our faith we are totally happy with it. may Allah guides you to the truth before it's too late.

[@daliatalat5341]

@jaydee040 Well, we will still love this religion and believe in it. Trust me. Your words will never affect our belief in anything. Even if you talk throughout your life about that, let your mind rest from all this and let us be with our religion. سبحانك اللهم وبحمدك اشهد ان لا اله الا انت استغفرك واتوب اليك.

I am depressed now because I was very happy for a marriage proposal... I used to see his pictures all the time.. and today they come in our house only parents... When I go in front of them (parents) his mother didn't even look at me.. and doesn't talk directly And to the point.. And after 15 minutes they left saying do 'Dua' pray.. and we were waiting from a month passing everyday hardly.. me and my mother talk about that all the time.. and they just break our happiness in 20 minutes..

In 2014, I suffered a terrible accident that left me paralyzed from the chest down. I questioned to Allah why he allowed this to happen to me. For two years, I lost all faith. I'm slowly regaining my faith but I struggle everyday being in a wheelchair. I still work to support my wife and kids but it's a serious difficulty for me. Some days I wish to die because of the pain I suffer daily. I want to ask Allah what I've done to deserve being a cripple. Why Allah, why???

[@MoMo-zl3jw]

Sonny Ali this is a test from Allah (swt) if you are patient and hope and yearn for His reward I swear you will see the fruits of that patience in this life and next salaam bro

[@valaititarka3318]

Sonny Ali we r ordinary people if we go through such hard time we start saying what sin did i do that YOU put me in such situation (may Allah forgive us)..imagine Ayoob aleihi salam went through very very hard time even if He aleihi salam was a Prophet .... be patient you will be rewarded InshaaAllah

Assalamualaikum huzur. Love from Bangladesh.

[@livingrateful]

Well done Sheikh Omar, you have answered the question every non believer asks. If there’s a God why does he allow all the oppression & the suffering of innocent people? Yet it is humans who kill, oppress and cause suffering to fellow humans. We want the free will to do whatever we want on earth but we want to hold Allah responsible for our actions. It defies logic. The Quran says , There will be a day when eyes will stare in horror. 😱 That will be the day of reckoning when the evil people of earth will get their comeuppance . So God is not oblivious or ignoring the injustice of the evil doers. HE is watching and waiting for a day of which there’s no doubt. May Allah protect the ummah and make us not of the oppressors.

[@musdoc]

Excellent. We always can g0 more.
