5 things you can do if you keep committing a particular sin again and again

1)Confess yourself to Allah every time; Agree within yourself that you have done something wrong cause nobody can hide from Allah. 

Quran 67:14 “ How could He who created not know His own creation when He alone is Most Subtle in His wisdom and All Aware” 

Keep repenting and take active means to get yourself out of it (c number 3) Quran 2:222 “..Indeed, Allah loves those who are constantly repentant and loves those who purify themselves." 

2)Believe that Allah will continue to forgive you every time  you sin and show sincerity in your repentance. Quran 8:33 “.... and Allah will not punish them while they seek forgiveness” Sayton likes to trick people into believing that they are too dirty to ask for forgiveness or  sins are too big for Allah to forgive.Quran 85:14 “And HE is THE Most Forgiving, the Lovable One”

3)Try to identify the root of the sin; ask yourself why you do the things you do. For instance if it’s zina then it’s cause you are in a relationship that’s not good for you so speak with your partner that you want to get out of it. If his/her response is negative, you have to run. Quran 13:11 “Indeed Allah will change the consolation of a person until they change what is in themselves”

4)Develop intimacy with Allah; do a lot of dhikr, voluntary fast, read the Quran a lot. Quran 13:28 “Surely in the remembrance of Allah do heart find rest”

5)Don’t be proud of your sin; For instance, if your sin is drinking alcohol repeatedly, it’s best not to take a picture of yourself and post it on social media. It’s always nice to keep the bad habit between yourself and Allah till you get out of it. 

Abu Hurayrah (may Allaah be pleased with him),said: I heard the Messenger of Allaah (sallallaahu ‘alayhe wa sallam) saying:

“All of my ummah will be excused, except for the mujaahireen (those who make their sins known). And verily it is a kind of mujaaharah (exposing one’s sins) that a man does something (sinful) at night, and then in the morning, when Allaah has screened his sin for him, he says, ‘Hey So and So, I did such last night’’And the night passed with His Lord screening him, and he wakes up casting aside the screen of Allah from himself.” (Muslim)

Are you struggling with hijab? I hope you benefit from my story (in shaa Allah)

If you're planning on wearing the Hijab,already wearing one but need a little motivation on how to be comfortable,I hope that this post helps you with your journey.
If you currently wear a Hijab and are as comfortable and motivated as you can be, Mash’Allah!!!! you’re very blessed to be at that level.
When I made a decision to start wearing hijab, First I had to define my intentions and it was only to please my creator. I became ashamed of asking Allah for stuff every time knowing fully well that I wasn't giving back in return so to wear hijab was first that led me to other things.
Also, I have a sketch of the kindf woman I want and wanted to become and for me to be able to achieve my goals I had to draw closer to Allah.
Lastly I wanted to be able to walk into any gathering and the first thing anyone would know about me is "She's Muslim" so I had to represent by my appearance.
Let's just say I was tired of convincing people I am Muslim even if I dress modestly so I figured I wasn't complete without the veil.
Identifying my purpose as made me stay focused and comfortable.
Cause I know why I'm wearing it, am less worried about what people think when they see me. It pretty much became a normal thing for me.
Second thing I did was to allow the way I felt inside shine through me so I had to trash my makeup.
I needed to be myself and my own kind of beautiful.
I needed to love myself the way I was created.
I needed to welcome the new me.
I needed to concentrate on the veil without using anything to enhance how it looked on me.
I needed to correct my wudu.
I wanted any male that was gon'be interested in me at that time see the real me and decide for himself if he likes the real me or not from the very first glance.
I wasn't ready to hide anything.
Cause I wore it without makeup, I felt even more beautiful and confident in myself.
The way I felt in my heart about the relationship I was building with my creator was enough to make me go out without any negative vibes.
So,if you are fighting confidence, first understand why you wear it and allow your Iman shine through you to give you a unique radiance.
Believe in yourself, talk to Allah and Trust Him.

The Sunnah of the Friday prayer (Nawafil)

1. Abdullah bin Umar (RadiyAllahu Anhu) reported: I performed along with the Messenger of Allah (sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam) two Rak'ah Sunnah prayer after the Jumu'ah prayer (Al Bukhari and Muslim)


2. Abu Hurairah (RadiyAllahu Anhu)
reported: The Messenger of Allah (sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam) said "If anyone if you performs the Friday prayer, he should perform four Rak'ah Sunnah after it" (Muslim)


3. Ibn Umar (RadiyAllahu Anhu)
reported: The Messenger of Allah (sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam) would not perform any salat in the mosque after Friday prayer till he has returned to his house. He would then perform two Rak'ah at home" (Muslim)
________

In one Hadith, there is a mention of four Rak'ah while the other mentioned two. It can be deduced that both of these are acceptable.

Ulama' are of the opinion that one who performs them in the mosque should perform four and one who perform them at home or back at the office should perform two with one Taslim.


Above all, It is better to perform them in twos as the Messenger of Allah (sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam) is reported to have "perform the Nawafil of the day and night in twos" ( Al Bukhari)

Barakah Jumu'ah

The prohibition of consulting soothsayers, fortune tellers or astrologers

It is not permissible to visit anyone on any matter/issue  and believe what they say to us because whatever they say is from the devil.

We all have easy access to Allah and all we have to do is sit in our homes and call upon Allah ourselves.

Quran 40:60 "Call upon me and I will answer" When something is going on in our lives, we spend time in private where it's most comfortable and pick up the Quran to read. We offer Nawafil and spend time in sujood. Only Allah can heal and bring smile on our faces.

1. Narrated by Safiyyah, Daughter of Abu Ubaid, on the authority of some of the wives of The Messenger of Allah (sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam)
 who said; "He who go to one who claims to tell about matters of the unseen and believes in him, his salat will not be accepted for forty days" (Muslim)

2. Aishah (RadiyAllahu Anha) said: Some people ask the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) about soothsayers. He (sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam) said: "They are of no account" upon this they say to him, O Messenger of Allah! But they sometimes make true predictions.
Thereupon the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said, "That is a word pertaining to truth which a jinn snatched (from the angels) and whispers into the ears of his friend (the soothsayers) who will then mix more than a hundred lies with it" (Al Bukhari and Muslim)

The narration in Al Bukhari is that "The angels descend in the clouds and mention matters which has been decreed in heaven; satan steals a hearing (listens to it) and communicates it to the soothsayers who then talk along with it a hundred lies.
From all, we have learnt that it is prohibited to consult anyone about matters because the source of information will no longer be from Allah but from the jinn.

3.  Abu Mausud Al Badri (RadiyAllahu anhu) said: The Messenger of Allah (sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam)
prohibited the price of a dog, the earning of a prostitute and the money given to a soothsayer. (Al Bukhari and Muslim)

It is unlawful to go to visit another and start asking questions: what our future holds, to narrate our dreams,to perform Istikharah on our behalf or any other personal affairs.

The payment or whatever we give in return is unlawful, and whatever they tell us is from the jinn.

We don't go to anyone for our matters except Allah.
May Allah forgive our shortcomings.

Sallam Alaikum waramotullah wabarakatu
