Emotions Influence Perceptions

“The appearance of things changes according to the emotions, and thus we see magic and beauty in them, while the magic and beauty are really in ourselves.”

Sometimes, your own thoughts will try to talk you out of God’s best. Don’t get in agreement with the defeat, the lack, the sickness, the trouble. Keep declaring, “Good time is coming, success is coming, blessing is coming.”

The Serenity (Peace) Prayer

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; 

courage to change the things I can;

and wisdom to know the difference.

Living one day at a time;

Enjoying one moment at a time;

Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;

Taking, as He did, this sinful world

as it is, not as I would have it;

Trusting that He will make all things right

if I surrender to His Will;

That I may be reasonably happy in this life

and supremely happy with Him

Forever in the next.

“Allah SWT goes before us and makes the crooked places straight.” That means what should be overwhelming is no problem at all. What looks complicated, you don’t see a solution, and suddenly things will fall into place.

You have to stretch your faith, believe for what you’re dreaming about, expect to see God’s help, declare His promises in spite of what’s not changing.

Allah SWT’s love is not based on your performance. If you’ll go to Him, He’s not going to condemn you; He’s going to help you. He’s not going to push you down; He’s going to lift you up. He’s the One that will remove the shame and give you more honor.

When we’ve done all that we can in our own power, but nothing has changed, it’s tempting to get discouraged and settle where we are. Instead, expect God’s help by declaring His promises, by stretching your faith, by believing He’s working when you don’t see any sign of it.

One Muslim has seven rights over other Muslims

One Muslim has seven rights over other Muslims Imam Jafar Sadiq (A.S) said, "One Muslim has seven rights over other Muslims. If one of these rights is not honored, then a person might be excluded from the roster of Allah's friends.  1) The smallest right of a Muslim over his compatriots is that whatever one wishes for himself, he should wish the same for his brethren. Similarly, whatever he dislikes happening to him, he should want not to happen to his brothers in Islam. 2) The second right is: that a Muslim should avoid displeasing another Muslim.  3) The Third right consists in that a Muslim should help another both physically and monetarily to the extent possible.  4) The fourth right of a Muslim is that he must guide other Muslims to the best of his abilities.  5) The fifth right is that if a Muslim is hungry, the other should share his food with him.  6) The sixth right is that if one has a servant and the other doesn't, then the servant should be sent to t...

Imam Hassan Askari AS, Gurg Aashti, Poisoned Society

Imam al-`Aaskari (AS), in his description of evil scholars, said, 'They cause more harm to the weak ones from among our shi`aa than the army of Yazid did to Husayn b. Ali (AS) and his companions, for they snatched away (grab, seize, steal) their lives and their property, whereas these evil scholars … enter doubt and obscurity (ambiguity) into the weak ones from among our shi`aa and lead them astray (wandering).' http://islamicblessings.com/upload/Meezan%20ul%20Hikmah%20-English.pdf Gurg Aashti - Brotherhood of the Wolf https://ub4yourself.blogspot.com/2021/11/qasim-ali-shah-foundation-is-character.html Poisoned Society https://ub4yourself.blogspot.com/2022/10/poisoned-society.html

Speech is better than Silence

When Imam Zayn al-‘Abidin (as) was asked which one was better: speech or silence, he answered:  "Both speech and silence have their harmful aspects. If both are free from harm, then speech is more excellent than silence”. It was said: “How is that, O son of the Messenger of Allah”? Imam as-Sajjad (as) answered: "Because Allah did not send His Prophets and (their) trustees with silence, but sent them with speech. Paradise is not deserved through silence, nor is God’s guardianship merited through silence, nor is the Fire guarded against through silence. All this is possible only through speech. I do not place the sun on a level equal to the moon. You describe the excellence of silence through speech; you do not describe the excellence of speech through silence."
