The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) strived hard to build the Muslim nation, SubhanAllah (Glory be to Allah) he (peace be upon him) has succeeded in his struggle to convey the message. 'Say: Truly, my prayer and my service of sacrifice, my life and my death, are (all) for God, the Cherisher of the Worlds' [Qur'an 6:162]. Don't be a Muslim that has been crippled by the gaps in your knowledge in Islam. Be a part of this beautiful Ummah. Work together and help each other so that we can truly lead a life on the Straight Path.

ALWAYS REMEMBER
'I bear witness that there is none worthy of worship except Allah, the One, without any partner. And I bear witness that Muhammad (peace be upon him) is His servant and His messenger'

When is the Victory of Allah Coming

(Notes on a lecture by Tawfique Chowdury)

Do not ask Allah to be among the companions at the time of Prophet Muhammad (SAWS) because we could have been disbelievers and our hearts may not be pure. The Prophet (SAWS) had so much sorrow in his life
i. Before death of our beloved Prophet (SAWS) who experienced so much pain, more than any human  in this life
ii. When the Prophet (SAWS) was hungry, he would place 3 stones on his stomach not to feel the hunger pangs
iii. Allah azawajal took Khadijah (RA) when the Prophet (SAWS) was in great need of her.
iv. The Prophet (SAWS) lost one person at a time (his father, his morther and his beloved uncle, before they had the chance to enter Islam).
But this was all a test, so Allah reminds us here that He (SWA) created life and causes death.

Or did you expect that you would enter Paradise, while the example of those who were before you came to you; they were stricken with adversity and hardship, and they were shaken until the messenger and those who believed with him said: "When is God's victory" Yes indeed, God's victory is near [2:214]

Do not despair because victory is delayed because there is wisdom behind it:
[1] Allah can increase our reward by the patience and perserverance that we show
(This will help to elevate our position on the Day of Judgement. Allah azawajal will beautify us and allow us to draw nearer and remember Him (SWA))
[2] The reason why Allah azawajal tests us is because Allah wants to divide the believeing patient Muslims from the disbelieveing impatient munafique
(This will allow Allah azawajal to find those who are steadfast to Him (SWA) and His religion
'...Allah will not give the disbelievers any way (of success) against the believers.' [4:141]


Truely, Allah will not give the disbelievers the upperhand of the believers. So long as we are the believers so we cannot be sinful and transgressful against the command of Allah azawajal) 

The Qur'an sets clear guidelines on how to gain mercy
i. If you help the people of Allah azawajal, Allah azawajal will help you
ii. If you give Allah a loan, thenAllah will give it back to you with abdundance
iii. The way you act with Allah azawajal, Allah will act with you.

Struggle in the cause of this religion with your life and your wealth. Allah will help you in this life and the hereafter. Allah will make you among the righteous and give you a dwelling place in Jannat-al-Firdous. Aim to establish emaan in all different aspects.
InshaAllah these will benefit you.

Fi'amanillah
(For the pleasure of Allah azawajal)
