for without doubt in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find satisfaction. (Surah Al-Rad, 13:28)
To be close to our Creator is a fundamental need of every
human being and striving to achieve it can be the healing for
our chaotic inner selves which, in turn, leads to:
1. Allahs
love
2. Greater productivity
3. Confidence
4. Satisfaction and joy
Therefore, it is essential to exert effort in seeking closeness to your Creator. To begin with, the prescription
to getting closer to Allah requires a few things from you:
1. Strong intention to get closer to Allah
2. Patience
3. Consistency
4. Avoid doing nothing
Lets first consider our worth to Allah
. If you want to know your worth to Allah
doing with your life. Are you pleasing Allah
, then see what you are
or disappointing Him?
Dont like your answer?

Well, there is good news. The fact that you are seeking closeness to Allah
means He wants you to
remember Him. Being productive is very important as a Muslim. It is a sign of Allahs
mercy that you have
come to seek beneficial knowledge from websites like this one. A righteous deed is like a pearl necklace
when it breaks, all the pearls follow one another quickly.
Abu Huraira (RA) reported that the Prophet Muhammad
said that Allah
, the Exalted and Glorious said,
I am near to the thought of My servant as he thinks about Me, and I am with him as he remembers Me. And if
he remembers Me in his heart, I also remember him in My heart, and if he remembers Me in assembly I
remember him in assembly, better than his (remembrance), and if he draws near Me by the span of a palm, I
draw near him by the cubit, and if he draws near me by the cubit I draw near him by the space (covered by)
two hands. And if he walks towards Me, I rush towards him. (Sahih Muslim).
We need to struggle to achieve great things. The harder the struggle is, the better the outcome becomes.
Getting close to Allah
takes time. We cannot expect everything to magically fall into place by doing a
righteous deed. You need to depend on Allah
and trust that what He has planned for you is the best you
can have, for this life and the hereafter.

Here are some tips to achieve closeness to Allah
(glorified and exalted be He):
1. Duaa (Supplication)
We forget that we need Allahs
help and strength to guide us. When we get too caught up with dunya
(this life) we often think we can do it on our own without His help. We have to know that nothing changes
without the strength and power of Allah
. We need to ask Him for His help, even if it is to get closer to
Him, or become better at worshiping Him. We need to seek refuge in Allah
in everything. It could be
negative thoughts we have, our lack of productivity or even our lack of faith. We need to ask Allah
help us and guide us to the Straight Path. Allah
to
says in the Quran:
And when My servants ask you, [O Muhammad], concerning Me indeed I am near. I respond to the
invocation of the supplicant when he calls upon Me. So let them respond to Me [by obedience] and believe
in Me that they may be [rightly] guided(2:186).
2. Stay Away from Poisons

You need to get any poisons out of your life. Poison has many forms. Fix your heart, by staying away from
anything that Allah
Allah
doesnt love. If you are around friends that make you sin and make you disappoint
, then you need to get them out of your life.
The Prophet Muhammad
said: A good friend and a bad friend are like a perfume-seller and a blacksmith:
The perfume-seller might give you some perfume as a gift, or you might buy some from him, or at least you
might smell its fragrance. As for the blacksmith, he might singe your clothes, and at the very least you will
breathe in the fumes of the furnace. (Sahih Al-Bukhari)
3. Get to Know Allah [SWT] Through His 99

Beautiful Names
How can you love Allah
and want to get closer to Him if you dont know Him that well? We fall in love
with people as we get to know them more and realize that they have a lot of beautiful qualities and
characteristics. Of course Allah
is above any analogy, but you need know Him more. Wanting to get
closer alone wont do you any good without falling in love with your Creator. Start with the name of AlWadud, the Ever-Loving. Allahs
love for you is unconditional. He does not need or want anything from
you in return. He loves you so He keeps giving you even if you disobey Him. Ask Allah
with His 99
Names.
He is the One who is closest to you (Qareeb). So ask Him to bring you closer to Him. Call on Him using the
name Al-Wadud and ask Him to love you more and make you love Him more. Its as simple as that. We tend
to overthink stuff and forget that if we seek refuge in Allah
Abu Huraira
narrates that the Prophet
, He will make everything easier on us.
said, If Allah loves a person, He calls Gabriel saying, Allah
loves so and-so; O Gabriel! Love him. Gabriel would love him and make an announcement amongst the
inhabitants of the Heaven. Allah loves so-and-so, therefore you should love him also, and so all the
inhabitants of the Heaven would love him, and then he is granted the pleasure of the people on the earth.
[Sahih Al-Bukhari]
4. Dhikr (Remembrance of Allah )

Remembering Allah
is essential in achieving closeness to Him. You can remember him by engaging in
dhikr (remembrance) and tasbeeh (praise).

Say Astaghfirullah a lot to erase your sins.
Say Alhamdulillah so Allah will give you more.
Look outside your window and say Subhan-Allah about His beautiful creations.
The most elegant form of remembering Allah
is by looking at His creations. When you are in between
tasks like driving or walking, remember Allah
. Listen to Islamic lectures or Islamic poetry that talk about
Allahs
glory. Surround yourself with people who remind you of Allah
. Attend halaqas or religious
circles in masjids or you can even create your own gathering of remembrance. The more you remember
Allah
, the more He will remember you. See what happens when you are sitting in a gathering that is filled
with Allahs
remembrance.
Allahs Messenger [SAW] said:
Whenever some people gather in one of Allahs houses (mosques) to recite the book of Allah and study it
among themselves then calmness (tranquility) descends upon them, the angels surround them, mercy
covers them, and Allah mentions them to those who are with Him. (Sahih Muslim)
5. Follow the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad

By following the Sunnah of our prophet
Allah
we will gain the love of Allah
. When you gain the love of
, you will get closer to him. Following the sunnah of the Prophet makes you a better person. You will
have better manners and ethics. Read more about the Prophet
; fall in love with your Messenger. After all,
he was a mercy to all mankind. Allah says so in the Quran:
Say, (O Muhammad, to mankind): If ye love Allah, follow me; Allah will love you and forgive you your sins.
Allah is Forgiving, Merciful. (3:31).
6. Stay Connected to the Quran

Reading or memorizing the Quran alone is not enough. Understand it and act upon it. Try your best to act
the way we were asked to in the Quran. Strive for the best. Reflect on its meanings; it will give you answers
to your daily lifes complications. When you read the Quran and understand it more you will be more likely
to reach the level of ihsan. You will want to do everything right. In the form of a man, Gabriel/Jibreel
once entered a gathering where the Prophet
was sitting. One of the questions the angel asked was to
elaborate on the term ihsan, Prophet Muhammed
said, That you worship Allah as if you see Him, for if
you dont see Him then truly He sees you.(Bukhari and Muslim)
Wrapping It All Up
Be productive, seek knowledge and take action. The more you love Allah
, the more you will do to get
closer to Him. The more you get closer to Him, the more He will get closer to you. The more you will want to
learn about the sunnah and the Quran and want to get even closer to Him, the closer you will become to
reaching the level of ihsan. When you reach that level you will feel Allahs
love and you will be satisfied
with everything He gives you. You will be productive because you wont want to waste time without
pleasing Allah
in Allah
. You will be confident in anything that you do in your life, because you will have full trust
. May Allah
guide us to the path that takes us closer to Him. Ameen.

Jesus said I am the way, the truth and the life, nobody comes to the father except
through me. Now for the truth, we just dont know. Are all jews, christians, hindus wrong
? If you were brought up in a christian country you would probably not be a muslim. If I
was bought up in Pakistan I probably would be a muslim. Get it ?

Dear Dave, thank you for your response. As Muslims we believe in all the prophets,
including Jesus -peace be upon him. All the messengers of God have in essence been
the same throughout the ages. Regrettably the messages became changed, modified or
forgotten. The Quran was sent to a people steeped in idolatry. To a believer, the Quran
is a unique book, the only book in the world to contain only the Words of God. We view
Prophet Mohammed (SWS) as the final prophet in a long line of prophets that will
conclude the era of revealed religions. The mission of Prophet Mohammed (SWS) was
not to bring a new message but to endorse, with fresh vigour, the message delivered
earlier to Abraham, David, Moses , Jesus and other Prophets, peace be upon them. The
Quran, of all revelations, is the only one preserved in its original form, has been for 1400
years and will be preserved for eternity.
Our greatest difference to most Christians is that we do not believe in the divinity of
Christ. Christ to us was very much a man. An exceptional human being, born of a virgin,
given the power of speech from early infancy and blessed with the ability to perform
miracles. (Unitarian Christians also believe this.) We have a verse in the Quran which
states: To you, your religion and to me, mine (109:6). Only God, praise and glory be to
Him, will be the judge on the day of resurrection. What is important is that we believe in
the Creator and understand that this life is only a test. God created man with unique
powers of sentiment, consciousness, initiative and choice. Use these precious gifts to
learn more about the life and times of Prophet Mohammed, peace be upon him, and you
may come to realise that we have much in common. Kind regards, Khadijah.

As-salmu Alaikum, Islam is for all mankind till the Day of Judgment, and the Quran
invites all people of other religions. It is the duty of every Muslim to spread the message
of Islam. Whoever has heard about the Islam and do not accept it will be accountable on
the Last Day.

A while ago I was wondering what the original language of the Bible is. Maybe if we
learned the bible through its original language we would be able to understand the
similarities of the two monotheistic religions: Islam and Christianity. Surely, meaning
change and dont exactly mean the same thing in a translation. The Quran explain
everything one must know and be confused about, please give the Quran your sincere
effort

If those were words of god then how is it possible that those were changed by human?
How can you say that even quraan has not canged since its revelation? In each and
every era revelation were send down by god, then what about era coming after thusand
of years from now?

Hello Dave. As an individual you have the right to search for God and fins him. If
someone is brought up to something they still need to search the truth and see if it
makes sense to them. There are a lot or Muslims that do not practice the religion the
way its suppose to be practiced. I believe firmly if everybody practices their religion right
and sticks to it, there would be less evil in the world. We were made different people with
different races and cultures so we get to know one another. Not judge each other. The
more you know others in the right way without hatred the more space we can give each
other to love one another. And appreciate our differences as a beauty and a sign of
Gods existence :)

Hello Dave, Jesus is our Prophet and Hinduism also has our Prophet and even in
Hinduism it says that there is only one God evreyone should worship and human can
never describe how a God looks like. And Lord Krishna is also being beleived one of the
untold Prophets in Quran (I googled it). Allah says that he sent guide to every kind of
people around the world and nobody has been left behind. Even now many scientist
convert to Islam by comparing their reasearch with Islam. Sorry for bad english :P

Isa a.s says to his disciple baptize people in the name of son, fathers, holy sprit and god.
Fathers refer to holy tree from Adam a.s to all prophet before is a a.s. but followers of
isa a.s to spread their religion accept pagan philosophy. Like pagan worship stars or
father as god nauzubillah, Christian start same. Christian worship sun and father are
polytheists or pagan. Ibrahim is monotheists. So come to Islam a monotheist religion or

isa a.s is follower of monotheist religion not pagan

Narrated Abu-Huraira:
Allahs Apostle said, No child is born except on the fitra and then his parents make him
Jewish, Christian or Magian (Zoroastrian), as an animal produces a perfect young
animal: do you see any part of its body amputated?

Dave, Yes I get it. Allah is never unjust. He knows what youre saying better than you
and me.
Note thats why God is the only One who can judge.
That being said, when Jesus peace be upon him said that, I believe and agree with him,
he says that whatever he follows is the way. And keep in mind, he himself followed the
Torah commandments did he not?
So since all this time has passed, every born muslim and born Christian should look for
the truth.If he doesnt, he had just followed what his parents taught him.
In my humble opinion I believe that Allah SWT will make me and you go back to him if
he knows were looking for the truth.

If he had been brought up in a Christian country and He loved God, he would (insha
Allah) have found discrepencies and interpolations in the Injeel(gospel) and Torah(old
testament) that would have caused him to seek even further into the matter. Allah SWT
says in Quran: whoever seeks a path to knowledge, I will create for him a path to
Jannah. I myself was raised a Christian and am now following the True religion of
Prophets, from Abraham to Jesus, and Muhammad SAW. Jesus revelation was revealed
in Armaic and translated into Greek. Muhammads religion was revealed in Arabic. Try to
find two closer languages. Not even latin and spanish are as close. Allahu Akbar!!

I have just realized that Allah and getting closer to Islam is the only way to get inner
peace and to remove my low self-esteem. I have been trying to ignore getting closer to
Allah for far too long. Now I am at war with my inner self (and shaytan) to truly surrender
to his will. It is one of the biggest struggles now in my life. But I will keep fighting until I
surrender. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel and with Allahs will I will reach his
light.

Sajjaad
brother Omar, I like your honesty in expressing your inner struggle with negative
thoughts or temptations allured by Shaitan I am.too, a man who has resisted to
surrender to the will of Allah. For me the biggest challenge has been the UNfair world
that we see around us: My main issue with surrendering is the undeniable fact of
Victimization: I mean the sufferings of children and innocent people through any evil that
mankind do or nature caused. But, I try so hard to turn a blind eye to those facts and still
seek refuge to Allah.

Kathryn Lafayette
Brother, we do not have to turn a blind eye to suffering. we simply have to surrender
that Allah (set) knows and we do not know. what helps me is being reminded that
children are not taken to account. a child who dies will meet their parents on the day of
judgment, bearing water, but will not themselves be judged. and any suffering by those
other than children, is an expiation for sin. would you rather suffer temporary discomfort
in this world, or eternal torment in the hereafter. Allah (swt) knows and we do not know.
and all is from His Will.

I just would just like to quote something from the article: And if he remembers Me in his
heart, I also remember him in MY HEART. I believe this kind of translation needs to be

MashAllah my dear sister. Thank you for taking time out of your busy and productive
life, to share this with your fellow Muslims. I am going to show it to my husband who has
been rather ill for a few years and has not prayed. I know he remembers Allah always in
his heart but the
weariness he feels due to his illness, makes him feel unable to even attempt to take a
wudu.
Your article does not mention the rituals, but goes straight to the centre of what will
enable us to love Allah (SWT) and know that he will then love us. This simple truth, I
know will inspire him to go back to prayer. May Allah bless you in your mission to be the
best possible person you can be. Yours in the love of Allah (SWT) Khadijah

O, my dear. May Allah strengthen you with his mercy and compassion. Please get a

Remember that there is nothing that happens in life without Allahs (SWT)knowledge. Put
your trust and faith in Him. Look for him in all the beauty around you and banish Shaitan
by
Saying: there is no power except Allah (SWT). Allah SWT says: Call upon Me and I will
answer every call. There is no need to be afraid when Allah is with you.

Dear erum, its very easy. .think about you dying while in a prayer or reciting Quran.what
next? You dying as a true muslim. Thats a huge privilege. Think about this every time
you think of dying if you start doing good deeds. It will help. Also remember that at least
you feel Allah but you just cant be closer to him bse of shaitan. You may start by
listening to teachings of different scholars to lubricate your heart before you immense
yourself into serious prayers. However, remember that time is not on your side. So hurry
up looking for the truth before actual death comes. Inshaallah you will se the right path
soon. Amin

very humbled by the beautiful comments, they actually made me cry. Some of the
comments were made during times of struggles for me, some of them were duas that
might just have been the reason I got through the hardships :) Alhamdulilah for being

Second, The reason for my comment isnt just to appreciate the work of my sister but to

uncleared direction I would ask them to forget everything and give your life a re-strart

give yourself what you have always wanted and you can clearly do it from now onwards.

Assalaamualaikum Sr. Shyliza,

May Allah reward you for your perseverance and dedication towards becoming more
connected with the Quran and Allah youre efforts are truly an indication that if we
commit ourselves to something we really want, we can definitely attain it! These are
some websites and apps you can use to practice the Qaida and Quran:
http://productivemuslim.com/app-review-quran-star/
http://qsi1.com/index.asp?visitormonid=1448395
To draw yourself closer to Allah, start with your five daily prayers. Ensure that they are
prayed on time and in full concentration. This is a beautifully written article series which
talks about how we revamp our prayers: http://productivemuslim.com/khushu-in-salahpart-1/
After this, try incorporating as much as you can from the points mentioned in this article:
http://productivemuslim.com/6-steps-to-get-you-closer-to-allah-swt/. But of course, take it
one step at a time! For example, you may want to start by making the resolution to fix
your fardh prayers and reading your morning and evening duas everyday
(http://makedua.com/). In addition, are there any habits you want to get rid of because
you know they are disliked by Allah (e.g. backbiting, using foul language etc.?) You may
find it beneficial to keep track of your progress not only with this help you be more
consistent in your efforts but it be a great way to motivate yourself as well:
http://productivemuslim.com/the-productivemuslim-habitator/
There is a quote that says: Sometimes we fall because there is something down there
were supposed to find. Sometimes when we face hardships in our life, we see them
from a negative perspective and question why they are happening to us. But remember
that when something comes from Allah, there is always good in it. So although you may
be experiencing difficulties in your life, think of them as a blessing in disguise. Perhaps if
you had not gone through them, you would not have been so determined to become a
better Muslim :) Finally, remember these last two verses: Allah does not charge a soul
except [with that within] its capacity (http://quran.com/2/286); Unquestionably, by the
remembrance of Allah hearts are assured. (http://quran.com/13/28).
The help of Allah is indescribable because as He tells us himself in the Quran: But Allah
is your protector, and He is the best of helpers. (3:150). To illustrate this, reflect on the
story of the Battle of badr where the Muslims had about 300 soldiers and the
disbelievers had about 1000. With barely any arms to protect themselves and
camels/horeses to ride upon and despite the disbelievers being fully equiped, the
Muslims went forward, determined and motivated. And the way Allah helped them is
truly spectacular: Allah made the size of the opposing appear small in number to the
Muslims and despite the odds, the Muslims won the battle (3: 13; 8:44). Likewise, reflect
on the story of Prophet Yunus who was stuck in the belly of a Whale and by Allahs will,
was released. Or the story of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) and Abu Bakr when they hid in
the cave of Thor as the Quraish pursued them and the spider made a thick web in the
entrance, giving the impression that no one could have possibly entered.
One common feature among all these stories, however, is that in all three situations,
there was sincere faith in Allah. And Allah gives us every reason to believe that He will
always be there for us during our times of need when He states in the Quran: And
when My servants ask you, [O Muhammad], concerning Me indeed I am near. I
respond to the invocation of the supplicant when he calls upon Me. So let them respond
to Me [by obedience] and believe in Me that they may be [rightly] guided (2:186). He is
there to be your guide, your sound of reason, your support, your best friend, your
motivation and much more. And only He can help you in ways that no other human
being possible can because it is only Allah who is the Most Powerful, the Most Loving,
the Most Merciful, and the Most Forgiving. His abilities are unmatched by any of His
creation. And it is for this reason that He can Help in ways we never thought possible.
This is a short lecture on Ayatul Qursi which truly captures Allahs greatness is:

shaytan life. If you leave AND work in place that all what I sell is haram in Islam. How
can you keep praying..and remembering of allah.. All things I do is haram who ever I am
meeting is doing harm. . And having children form women not your wife. If I combined
the good AND the bad. More than likely .bad things happen to my life is great. So now
how can I fix the past. How at least I can restart over. .. which the important things I like
to say I memorized the Quran when I was younger. Sorry but I have been lost for a long
time now. I dont know what can I do. I even went for Umurah, and I still cant find my self
jazaka allah khayran. Just the guilt part is killing me and stress is greater than you can
imagine. Including using.. I THINK you know what I mean and nothing is getting better.
Again jazaka Allah

Do salah in time and ask for forgiveness after every salah. Cry to Allah with all your
heart and capability and ask him to forgive you. This should be done by everyone
including those who are not doing any obvious sins. Also if you could read my message
at the bottom, it might help.

Jazaka Allah! It must be helpful to us I want to give an advise to our Muslim brothers
that when you go to your bad at night for sleep please think what did you do in a whole
day. If you did wrongdoing close your eyes then say Astaghfirullah! And recite Kalma
tayyaba(100 times) and recite sleep prayer(sonay ki dua) without opening your eyes
sleep Insha Allah this act will increase your love towards Allah (subhanaho wata
aala)

Never be disappointed from Allahs blessing

he sometimes tries her person from different styles.
I am also in his trial. Last day I offered prayed and wept a lot. One of my friends called
me after this for paying my loan who was not giving more than a year. I am very much
confident that Allah will bring me out of crisis. You also just believe in him only. Also pray
for me.
You can also help me by purchasing products on cheaper price for my help. just drop

This is a very inspirational artical and i took notes what i struggle in life is focus with
so many dream of wanting to be this and that i loose focus and i never get to be
anything because i give up so quick before i reach a level that i could consider myself
an expert the other challenge i have is with respect to the second point which poison
unfortunately my poison is within myself with adicction to bad habits; you go for 4
months without relapsing and then all of a sudden you are back to square one
today was one of those days that i went back to square one and all my progress comes
crushing down and i feel destryed and i figured that the only way i can rid myself of
this desease is if i get closer to Allah subhana wa taala did a search and came across
this article
as mentioned in the beginning of the artical Strong intention to get closer to Allah;
Patience;.Consistency; Avoid doing nothing; my intention to stop my bad habits are
there, but somehow i loose myself and i loose my consciousness and relapse just
happens
i will try the prescription set forth in this article, need the patiance and try to live
consciously if anyone has any pointers i will be happy to hear from them
Thanks and Best Regards to all

Salam alk.
What a great article. really what i was searching for.I really need help. I have been
drowning away from God and islam and my head is already sunk only my fingers are still
above water and I really need Allahs help to pull my fingers out and get me up again. i
have moved from a very pious muslim boy who recited lots of dua growing up to till i
was 26yrs old and now after that i started to sink till now that i am 33 yrs and i am still
struggling to get myself back up. somewhere within my heart i know what is the
sweetness of faith and what it is to please Alllah because i was there for many years but
now i am so preoccuppied with the world that i dont know how i got there. Each day
becomes tough and i struggle so hard to make it right thinking that i am the one doing it.
my job is taking my life with islam. Allah has blessed me but i am struggling to be in
islam. i am a muslim by name only and not by character. I have moved away from
prayers and when i do pray, its only by physical and not by heart. there is no piety there
again. i miss this feeling of closeness to God and i am so far away from it. each days
gets worse and I need help. Unfortunately now somehow i am not sure if its Allah or
shaytan,my work now moved me from my country where so many people are poor and
you can remember Allah alot and there is a lot of worship to a more affluent country
where people are not remembering Allah that much and neither are they much
christians. I see this a s a punishment in disguise. Please i need help and honest advice.
Sometimes i think about abandoning my things and work and just go away and return
back home where people live lower lives and can see people still worshipping Allah
again.

Assalam alykkum w r b
Masha allah tabarakallah. Very good article. Many people dont reallize the importance
of learning and trying to comprehend the 99 names of allah.
It is only those who have knowledge (of Allah) among His slaves that fear Allah. [Fatir
(35): 28]
I want to add a few points to this and would be great if you could also consider adding
these. First of all love of allah is strongly associated with His fear. If someone says that
he/she loves allah then, he/she should be fearful about Him. A reflection of that will be
there in his life, primarily his salah. The sahaba used to fear and love allah more than
any other group of people and it reflected in their salah. Its reported in many hadith
about sahaba that when they stood for salah, they would turn pale, and they would
tremble and shake and tears would run down their eyes profusely. The same theme is
expressed in quran as the first and most important sign of a true believer.
Successful indeed are the believers. Those who offer their Salat (prayers) with all
solemnity and full submissiveness (fear). (surah muminoon :1,2)
Quran in another place states
For, Believers are those who, when Allah is mentioned, feel a tremor in their hearts, and
when they hear His signs rehearsed, find their faith strengthened, and put (all) their trust
in their Lord; (Al Anfal 8:2)
This literally means that when a true believer hears the name Allah, his heart shakes
and when he recites quran, he gets closer to allah in every single verse we recite or
hear. For such a person, salah will be an intense form of worship, when he/she realizes
that he/she is standing in front of allah. When he says Allahuakbar and starts his salah,
he will say that wholeheartedly, it will not be just a word of utterance but truly coming
out of his heart. When he recites Fathiha and other verses, it will come right out of his
heart. When he goes into rukku or sajdah and praises Allah by saying Subhana ribi al
adeem/a3la, it comes right out of his heart causing him to tremble and cry. He will not
rush in his salah and will not lose concentration.
This believer when he finishes his/her salah and asks Allah for help, Allah grands help
and when he asks for protection, Allah protects him. His/her life will be like stream of
water running down a hill, flowing effortlessly. Every thing around him will help him and
aid him and Allah bestows his livelihood with out a struggle. For all this, he/she should
have touheed deep in his/her heart and should understand that all the 99 names or
qualities are for allah alone and no Human/Angel/Prophet/Jin/money/power is like Allah
in any sense and every one/thing bows down to Allah in ultimate submission/humility.
Secondly as you pointed out, there is no way to make Allah happy, except through the
sunnah of the Prophet Muhammed (S.A.W). Look for sunnah in every thing you do and
make all your ibadah as similar to the prophets as possible with out any deviation. If
anyone tells you, doing a certain thing is good, ask for proof that the Prophet or sahaba
have done it. If its not available, just reject it.
Thirdly and that should be the basis for all others, a person should submit every thing to
allah wholeheartedly including his/her life, wealth family etc. He should not have any
aim in life except for making Allah happy and should sincerely hope to die for Allah
some day.

Allah has to be the top priority of Intellectual curiosity.

All the things mentioned above are fine, but the only way to seek Allah and Allahs
proximity is zikr (remembrance of Allah).
Last three verses of Hashr (59: 22-24) Allah mentions his beautiful names.
Quran 2:152 he says: Remember me and I will remember you.
There are numerous other verses in which Allah tells the believers to REMEMBER him
e.g. in Al Imran : 191 he tells to remember him while standing, sitting, and while changing
sides (on bed).
Because for 5 times prayer WE get sawaab, and reading Quran, WE get sawaab and
knowledge
but remembrance of Allah is something special like he says in 29:45 the remembrance
of Allah is the greatest
This is the only way.

Asalamoalikum everybody
I dont know what to say and how to say!!
I am a person who lost everything in life. once i was very close to Allah. And that time
was the best of my life. you know when u are close to Allah you just have to say
something and that thing shall happen.
I experienced many things . I Prayed for impossible things and they happened . I use to
see some real good dreams which i cant share, i use to come to know things before they
happen. I use to get the glimpse of things before their happening. Even a wish in my
heart came and it was being fulfilled in minutes. Was able to feel even the existence of
other creatures. And many more things.
but
After all i am human like all you guys, i prayed for something for myself(wasnt a girl let
me clear that) , i prayed alot, even i use to say it that Allah give me this or take me away
from this world. I mean that was my craze my passion but i didnt get it and i
!!!!!! went so much disappointed that i got annoyed and left all prayers and
everything.
Then started my bad phase which is still on..
My family my friends everyone asked me dont be a fool but i had my own logic that
Allah love is more than 70 mothers then why cant i be annoyed with him and now i wont
ask for anything , he will give whatever he wants to. Whats the use of praying when he
has to give everything the way he wants. etc etc
its been two years.. i dont have anything.. theres no power in my words , i cant see
anything before happening and all
today a friend of mine made me realized how foolish i was.
My sincere advice to you all
Find Allah, And when u find him , hold on to him tight and dont let him go because of
some stupid thing of yours.
he will test u , and if u will pass u will be granted more and more.
I failed. now i understand it was a test for me
but Alassssssssssssssssssssssssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I dont know how i came here and why i am posting a comment here because i didnt do
any such thing in my life
