A POWERFUL dua to say when you’re in difficulty
Quote from the Holy Qur’an: Al-Anbiyaa (21:87)
وَذَا ٱلنُّونِ إِذ ذَّهَبَ مُغَٰضِبًا فَظَنَّ أَن لَّن نَّقْدِرَ عَلَيْهِ فَنَادَىٰ فِى ٱلظُّلُمَٰتِ أَن لَّآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّآ أَنتَ سُبْحَٰنَكَ إِنِّى كُنتُ مِنَ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ
Watha alnnooni ith thahaba mughadiban fathanna an lan naqdira AAalayhi fanada fee alththulumati an la ilaha illa anta subhanaka innee kuntu mina alththalimeena
And [mention] the man of the fish, when he went off in anger and thought that We would not decree [anything] upon him. And he called out within the darknesses, “There is no deity except You; exalted are You. Indeed, I have been of the wrongdoers.”
Quote from the Holy Qur’an: Al-Anbiyaa (21:88)
فَٱسْتَجَبْنَا لَهُۥ وَنَجَّيْنَٰهُ مِنَ ٱلْغَمِّ ۚ وَكَذَٰلِكَ نُۨجِى ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ
Faistajabna lahu wanajjaynahu mina alghammi wakathalika nunjee almumineena
So We responded to him and saved him from the distress. And thus do We save the believers.
Pray for us 🙂

The Inevitable
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sBQ1785Wwb8
Surah Al-Haaqqa
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
The Inevitable (i.e. the Day of Resurrection)! (1) What is the Inevitable? (2) And what will make you know what the Inevitable is? (3) Thamûd and ‘Ad people denied the Qâri’ah [the striking Hour (of Judgement)]! (4) As for Thamûd, they were destroyed by the awful cry! (5) And as for ‘Ad, they were destroyed by a furious violent wind! (6) Which Allâh imposed on them for seven nights and eight days in succession, so that you could see men lying overthrown (destroyed), as if they were hollow trunks of date-palms! (7) Do you see any remnants of them? (8) And Fir’aun (Pharaoh), and those before him, and the cities overthrown [the towns of the people of [Lut (Lot)] committed sin, (9) And they disobeyed their Lord’s Messenger, so He seized them with a strong punishment. (10) Verily! When the water rose beyond its limits [Nûh’s (Noah) Flood], We carried you (mankind) in the floating [ship that was constructed by Nûh (Noah)]. (11) That We might make it a (Noah’s ship)an admonition for you, and that it might be retained by the retaining ears. (12)
Then when the Trumpet will be blown with one blowing (the first one), (13) And the earth and the mountains shall be removed from their places, and crushed with a single crushing. (14) Then on that Day shall the (Great) Event befall. (15) And the heaven will be rent asunder, for that Day it (the heaven) will be frail, and torn up. (16) And the angels will be on its sides, and eight angels will, that Day, bear the Throne of your Lord above them. (17) That Day shall you be brought to Judgement, not a secret of you will be hidden. (18)
Then as for him who will be given his Record in his right hand will say: “Here! read my Record! (19) “Surely, I did believe that I shall meet my Account!” (20) So he shall be in a life, well-pleasing. (21) In a lofty Paradise, (22) The fruits in bunches whereof will be low and near at hand. (23) Eat and drink at ease for that which you have sent on before you in days past! (24)
But as for him who will be given his Record in his left hand, will say: “I wish that I had not been given my Record! (25) “And that I had never known, how my Account is! (26) “Would that it had been my end (death)! (27) “My wealth has not availed me; (28) “My power (and arguments to defend myself) have gone from me!” (29) (It will be said): “Seize him and fetter him; (30) Then throw him in the blazing Fire. (31) “Then fasten him with a chain whereof the length is seventy cubits!” (32) Verily, He used not to believe in Allâh, the Most Great, (33) And urged not on the feeding of Al¬Miskîn (the poor),[] (34) So no friend has he here this Day, (35) Nor any food except filth from the washing of wounds, (36) None will eat it except the Khâti’ûn (sinners, disbelievers, polytheists). (37)
So I swear by whatsoever you see, (38) And by whatsoever you see not, (39) That this is verily the word of an honoured Messenger [i.e. Jibril (Gabriel) or Muhammad SAW which he has brought from Allâh]. (40) It is not the word of a poet, little is that you believe! (41) Nor is it the word of a soothsayer (or a foreteller), little is that you remember! (42) This is the Revelation sent down from the Lord of the ‘Alamin (mankind, jinn and all that exists). (43) And if he (Muhammad SAW) had forged a false saying concerning Us (Allâh swt), (44) We surely would have seized him by his right hand (or with power and might), (45) And then we certainly would have cut off his life artery (Aorta), (46) And none of you could witheld Us from (punishing) him. (47) And verily, this (Qur’ân) is a Reminder for the Muttaqûn (pious – see V.2:2) (48) And verily, We know that there are some among you that belie (this Qur’ân). (Tafsir At-Tabarî) (49) And indeed it (this Qur’ân) will be an anguish for the disbelievers (on the Day of Resurrection).[] (50) And Verily, it (this Qur’ân) is an absolute truth with certainty[] (51) So glorify the Name of your Lord, the Most Great.[] (52)
SubhanAllah, what a striking and powerful Surah.
Oh Allah help us act upon the Qur’an! Allahumma salli wa sallim ‘alaa rasoolillah. Ameen!

Dear reader.. part 2
Dear Reader,
This is my second letter to you.
Hey I know its been a while! Thanks for your patience though.
So you tried getting rich, but failed… or maybe you made it.
So you tried fame, and maybe you got it, but at times, with fame, comes shame…some love you, some don’t…
So you tried getting a degree, but you didn’t quite hack it… or maybe you did, and then a bachelors wasn’t enough, so you got a masters, then a phd, and now you’re very intelligent… well at least you think you are… : )
So can you tell me why you were born the day you were? Can you tell the day you will pass away? Can you tell me what colour my bedroom floor is? Can you?
Nope. Because you can’t see it. But that doesn’t mean you were not born on the day you were, or that you won’t pass away one day, or that my bedroom floor is colourless…
Although you cannot be an eye-witness on many an occasion, nor can you physically witness everything that exists or happens, you do agree with me that these things are true because they have signs which point to their reality.
You know you were born that day, because you have a birth certificate to prove it. You know you will die one day, because you see people losing their lives everyday. You know my bedroom floor has a colour, otherwise it wouldn’t be a normal floor.
So I’m sure you’d agree, you don’t always have to see things plainly in order to ascertain their existence. Yet there are signs which indicate they exist.
The universe and all within it points to the existence of a Supreme Creator.
And the Supreme Creator,is unique, there is no similitude to Allah. Allah is The Supreme One True God, The Uncreated Lord of the universe and all within it, the One who created everything in pairs as a sign to remind us of His Oneness, and His right to be worshipped alone. He is The Rich, The Free of all needs, The Most High. The Self-Sustaining, The Self-Existing, The Universal Witness… The Ever-Living, The Eternal, The One who is not born, nor does He die. He is the First and the Last. The Originator..
And we will return to Him…everything will perish except Him…
Because man is a mere fragile created being…
And our purpose on earth is to establish the remembrance of The Creator, Allah.
Allah is our Provider, our Sustainer, our Helper, our Master, our Lord, our Protector.
We need Him. And we need to worship Him, to fulfil our purpose, because He deserves exclusive worship.
So then, we now know that the purpose in life is to worship Allah (The One True God), Alone.
You see, Allah doesn’t need us to worship Him. He is the Owner of power. Allah is forever Self-Sufficeint. He is not bound by time and location, for He created these. Allah tells us in the Qur’an that He is The Rich, Free of all needs and wants, The Praiseworthy.
He did not need us when we were non-existent, He doesn’t need us now, and He will never need us.
Allah doesn’t need us to worship Him, rather He deserves our worship… and we need Him.. we depend on Him.. He is our Provider, our Protector, our Creator, our Lord.
and we NEED to worship Him… because that is the purpose for which we were created.
( 56 ) And I did not create the jinn and mankind except to worship Me.
( 57 ) I do not want from them any provision, nor do I want them to feed Me.
( 58 ) Indeed, it is Allah who is the [continual] Provider, the firm possessor of strength.
( 59 ) And indeed, for those who have wronged is a portion [of punishment] like the portion of their predecessors, so let them not impatiently urge Me.
( 60 ) And woe to those who have disbelieved from their Day which they are promised.[QUR’AN CHAPTER 51 VERSES 56-60]
Whether we worship Him or not, it does not detract or add to His Might and Power whatsoever, Allah is the All-Powerful, the unyielding in strength. Allah possesses the ultimate power, so what are we?… we have to inevitably submit to Him. We have no other refuge, only Allah grants true security.
So won’t we run back to Him?
and with that, I’m going to call it a day, my friend.
With love and peace,
Thurrock Muslims

(Scroll down for English interpretation- I know you’re busy, but DON’T be lazy to read this!)
Read at QURAN KSU
In the Name of Allah, The Most Gracious, The Most Merciful.
( 1 ) By those [winds] scattering [dust] dispersing
( 2 ) And those [clouds] carrying a load [of water]
( 3 ) And those [ships] sailing with ease
( 4 ) And those [angels] apportioning [each] matter,
( 5 ) Indeed, what you are promised is true.
( 6 ) And indeed, the recompense is to occur.
( 7 ) By the heaven containing pathways,
( 8 ) Indeed, you are in differing speech.
( 9 ) Deluded away from the Qur’an is he who is deluded.
( 10 ) Destroyed are the falsifiers
( 11 ) Who are within a flood [of confusion] and heedless.
( 12 ) They ask, “When is the Day of Recompense?”
( 13 ) [It is] the Day they will be tormented over the Fire
( 14 ) [And will be told], “Taste your torment. This is that for which you were impatient.”
( 15 ) Indeed, the righteous will be among gardens and springs,
( 16 ) Accepting what their Lord has given them. Indeed, they were before that doers of good.
( 17 ) They used to sleep but little of the night,
( 18 ) And in the hours before dawn they would ask forgiveness,
( 19 ) And from their properties was [given] the right of the [needy] petitioner and the deprived.
( 20 ) And on the earth are signs for the certain [in faith]
( 21 ) And in yourselves. Then will you not see?
( 22 ) And in the heaven is your provision and whatever you are promised.
( 23 ) Then by the Lord of the heaven and earth, indeed, it is truth – just as [sure as] it is that you are speaking.
( 24 ) Has there reached you the story of the honored guests of Abraham? –
( 25 ) When they entered upon him and said, “[We greet you with] peace.” He answered, “[And upon you] peace, [you are] a people unknown.
( 26 ) Then he went to his family and came with a fat [roasted] calf
( 27 ) And placed it near them; he said, “Will you not eat?”
( 28 ) And he felt from them apprehension. They said, “Fear not,” and gave him good tidings of a learned boy.
( 29 ) And his wife approached with a cry [of alarm] and struck her face and said, “[I am] a barren old woman!”
( 30 ) They said, “Thus has said your Lord; indeed, He is the Wise, the Knowing.”
( 31 ) [Abraham] said, “Then what is your business [here], O messengers?”
( 32 ) They said, “Indeed, we have been sent to a people of criminals
( 33 ) To send down upon them stones of clay,
( 34 ) Marked in the presence of your Lord for the transgressors.”
( 35 ) So We brought out whoever was in the cities of the believers.
( 36 ) And We found not within them other than a [single] house of Muslims.
( 37 ) And We left therein a sign for those who fear the painful punishment.
( 38 ) And in Moses [was a sign], when We sent him to Pharaoh with clear authority.
( 39 ) But he turned away with his supporters and said,” A magician or a madman.”
( 40 ) So We took him and his soldiers and cast them into the sea, and he was blameworthy.
( 41 ) And in ‘Aad [was a sign], when We sent against them the barren wind.
( 42 ) It left nothing of what it came upon but that it made it like disintegrated ruins.
( 43 ) And in Thamud, when it was said to them, “Enjoy yourselves for a time.”
( 44 ) But they were insolent toward the command of their Lord, so the thunderbolt seized them while they were looking on.
( 45 ) And they were unable to arise, nor could they defend themselves.
( 46 ) And [We destroyed] the people of Noah before; indeed, they were a people defiantly disobedient.
( 47 ) And the heaven We constructed with strength, and indeed, We are [its] expander.
( 48 ) And the earth We have spread out, and excellent is the preparer.
( 49 ) And of all things We created two mates; perhaps you will remember.
( 50 ) So flee to Allah. Indeed, I am to you from Him a clear warner.
( 51 ) And do not make [as equal] with Allah another deity. Indeed, I am to you from Him a clear warner.
( 52 ) Similarly, there came not to those before them any messenger except that they said, “A magician or a madman.”
( 53 ) Did they suggest it to them? Rather, they [themselves] are a transgressing people.
( 54 ) So leave them, [O Muhammad], for you are not to be blamed.
( 55 ) And remind, for indeed, the reminder benefits the believers.
( 56 ) And I did not create the jinn and mankind except to worship Me.
( 57 ) I do not want from them any provision, nor do I want them to feed Me.
( 58 ) Indeed, it is Allah who is the [continual] Provider, the firm possessor of strength.
( 59 ) And indeed, for those who have wronged is a portion [of punishment] like the portion of their predecessors, so let them not impatiently urge Me.
( 60 ) And woe to those who have disbelieved from their Day which they are promised.
Oh My God! I’m lost for words…yet bursting to say something…
I keep clicking replay…
I can listen to this all day… I feel something in my heart when I read and listen to this. I see warnings, reminders, promises. I see truth. I see proof. I see meaning. I see no error. I feel a sense of emergency, of urgency. I feel I have to make a move. I have to act upon it. I feel I found the purpose in life.
I feel I need to run back to The One Who gave me life, The One Who will cause me to die, The One Who will resurrect me, and punish or reward me accordingly.
I need to run back to Allah alone.
So do you.
Be objective. Be sincere. Be open minded. I’m sure you’ll feel something too.
Oh Allaah the One Who changes the hearts, keep my heart firm upon Your religion! Guide us to preserve on Your straight path forever. Allahumma salli wasallim alaa nabiyinaa Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wasallam. Ameen.
With love for the sake of The One.
