When you ask, ask Allah ! Don’t be SAD !

When you ask,ask Allah
Allah’s kindness is very near to us. He hears all and answers our supplications. It is we who are full of shortcomings, and so we badly need to be persistent in our supplications. Boredom or hopelessness should never cause us to stop invoking Allah,nor should one of us say:
I prayed yet I have not been answered. Instead, we should press our heads humbly on the ground and beg for help from Allah.
The best way to do this is to ask Him by His Perfect Names and Attributes. But until we are answered, we must be persistent in asking Him.
Invoke your Lord with humility and in secret. (Qur’an 7: 55)
A writer narrated this story:
A Muslim went to a certain country as a refugee and he implored the authorities there to grant him citizenship. All doors were shut before him. Despite his many efforts at importuning others, all of his contacts failed. One day he met a righteous scholar, and he gave him an account of his predicament.
The scholar said to him, `Supplicate to your Lord, for He is the One who makes things easy.’ The meaning of this advice is found in the hadith:
“If you ask, then ask Allah; and if you seek help, seek help from Allah. And know that if the nation were to gather together in order to give you some benefit, they would not bring you any benefit, except with what Allah has written for you.”
The refugee later related,
“By Allah, I stopped going to people for help or for intercession, and instead, I began praying to Allah in the last third of the night just as the scholar had told me to do. Just before the break of dawn, I would call to Allah and invoke Him for relief.
Only a few days passed, after which, I submitted an application for citizenship without using any person of position to intercede for me. A few days passed and then suddenly, to my astonishment, I was called to pick up my citizenship request papers. They were stamped with ‘Approved.’
Allah is very Gracious and Kind to His slaves. (Qur ‘an 42: 19)
so,Remember “When you ask, ask Allah“!

Salam Walekum Everyone,
Just about two months ago I met a Muslim friend through a friend on Facebook. I have never met him before and hes basically on the other side of the world. After days of talking with him… I fell in love with this guy. It was shocking to find out that he felt the same way. We started talking through mailing/Texting/BBM/Voice Notes/Sent pictures of scenery/Skype and Facebook.
Recently we started talking about his religion, He is Muslim and I am Roman Catholic. He is really strict into his religion compared to the Muslims where I live. I learned a lot about Islam and have many Muslim friends and he really wants me to convert so some day we can get married. He told me that I would have to do it for Allah though. So over the last few weeks I have been really thinking hard about it and I would LOVE to be closer to Allah and learn more. I even started disusing it with a few of my close friends what they thought about the idea. I would very much love to convert for my own good.
I don’t mean for this to sound like some big romantic story but I needed to kind of type somewhere to get my thoughts out and pray. Hes half way across the world and the chances of us meeting at our age (16yrs) are really small. All I can do for now is do good in school and save for a plane ticket. I’ve met his mother and sisters and brothers through Skype and I love the family so much. I would do anything to be there.
He’s changed me beyond belief , I am much happier now. I dress better and think better and feel better. He’s stopped me from giving up and being like the rest of the girls here (drugs, sex, inappropriate). He’s even bringing me closer to the one I love (God/Allah) and I think that’s the best gift someone can give you. I’ve been praying every night now hoping for the day that him and I cross paths in lives and become a Muslim. I need him to teach me the ways, I have no idea how to do this on my own. Please who ever is reading this, it makes all the difference for me if you pray for help for me.
Allah,
This person is the best thing that has ever happened to me. He showed me the goodness in life and gave me the best gift, being closer to you and the holy profit Mohamed.
I would greatly take upon my self to be the one by his side till Judgement Day and forever in eternity. I will sacrifice my life for his, in the beauty of love.
I promise to be best he will ever have. To take care of him and love him. I will be the shoulder he needs to cry on and the one to talk to. I will proudly stand behind him in every decision he makes and do my best to please him.
I need someone in my life as strong as him. He brings loyalty, trustworthy, purity and humor into my life. He is always there to care and listen. He puts others before himself and stands as a man in my eyes.
Allah Please, May fate let us meet and forever let us be. Mashallah

we have been together for 10 yrs now and for the past eight yrs till now, everything was going on well not until now! she want me to weed her with comfort and ability. That is where im having problem! i really dont have enough capital to raise a family. Doe im working but my salary is not worth it because cost of living here in nigeria is beyond imagination.
now im planning to leave my slavery work and start doing something on my own because im an I.T guy so i have the advantage of venturing into many things.
…with the lecture of the article, i lent that we should not be asking favor from people but from Allah alone but at list i can ask of prayer from my beloved brothers and sister so please “FATIA” is not too small for you kindness. to cap it all ” Allah you can see me, you created me, you know me and you can ear me even as well you can see my typing even my pains, Allah i warship you beside no other God, it is you alone i worship. Allah please answer my prayers, bless me and lead me right.”
And for every Muslim man and woman may Allah accept all our effort as an act of Ibada amin.

Wsalam sister,
sorry for replying late,
i have so much responsibility on dawah and so much reading that i don’t get enough time to reply and these days im alone.
Pls someone who converts to islam for a girl is not real convert,what if after marriage he reverts back ?
Well,I will give u few tips , if you can guarantee me that he is perfect match for you ? Can You ?
I believe these are the ways of satan to miss guide us from the right path, do you think Almighty have not created any to love you and be with you in this life ?
many times you may think you u are doing heavy prayers,fasting,reading quran and after all this you didn’t married with him,it will come in ur mind that Islam is not true,all those things you did are useless.
and this is what satan wants .
He deceives the hearts, minds and the feelings of men/women in an aggressive battle, that has ‘roaring sounds’ and foot soldiers and horses that are brought for combat.
Allah describes in Suratul Isra’, which translates as: “And deceive whoever you can among them with your voice, and assault them with your horses, and foot soldiers, and become a partner in their wealth, and their children, and promise them. But Satan doesn’t promise them except delusion”(Al-Isra’: 64).
Do you know What he said to Almighty :
He [Iblis] said, “Grant me a reprieve until the day they are raised up.”
He [Allah] said, “You are one of the reprieved.”
He [Iblis] said, “By Your misguidance of me, I will lie in ambush for them on your straight path.”
[Iblis said,] “Then I will come at them, from in front of them and behind them, from their right and from their left. You will not find most of them thankful.”
(Surat al-A`raf, 11-18)
and He is doing perfectly in you by using a feeling called LOVE.
and He will use every possible way ,till you r breathing to miss guide you!
and bytheway,if you think i cant understand your feeling and situation then you are wrong.
I Faced all those situations before, and know how it hurts,how hearts rejects,peoples sujjestions.
Remember one thing,If you want Allah support then have patience.
May Allah protect you and heal ur heal heart,
ameen
