Jazakalah Khayr brother. May Allah make the deen easy 4 us.

As a believer becomes closer to Allah, HE becomes less of a pessimist and more of an optimist. Being around a true believer should bring you joy not make you depressed. Attitudes of gratitude and reinvigorating encouragement are closely tied to optimism.
Even though there are many negatives around us, a true believer points out things to be thankful for and never loses hope.

@Judas2013

What intimidation? No one forced you to comment mate, you could have ignored this thread. It is your problem if you don't agree with Islam, we are not here to change your mind or have a debate with you. This is clearly a beneficial and positive thread so either keep it positive or keep it moving.

Judas2013:
Isn't nairaland a site where free minded Nigerians interact? This is not Saudiland or Somalialand......

OK, a free-minded and enlightened Nigerian. That's great! Why are you denying people their right to exchange some knowledge regarding their religion? A free-minded and intelligent person wouldn't need to insult everyone and derail this thread. If you have any questions regarding this topic, there is a sensible way to go about it without being aggressive.

PS: I'm not from Saudi Arabia and the last time I checked this was a multi-national African forum.

Nice writeup. I'm proud to be a muslim!

Nice and Pretty
Jzakallahu.

As salaam Alaykum WW. You will know you are getting attached to the duniya when...

1. You don't plan your time around salah time.

2. A whole day or two passes and you don't open your Quran because you are too
‘busy’.

3. You care so much about what people say about you.

4. All you care about is how to accumulate more and more wealth.

5. You argue unnecessarily when you are told something you are used to doing is haram.

6. You keep on delaying good deeds -I'll do it tomorrow,or the next, etc’.

7. A new gadget comes out and you’re already thinking what you’re going to sell to
obtain it.

8. The lives of celebrities interests you.

9. The life style of the rich impresses you and you crave for such.

10. You want to be the centre of attention.

11. You compete with each other for worldly things.

12. Your thirst for power and glory cannot be quenched.

13. You fall into depression each time you don't get what you want.

14. Minor sins don't really mean anything to you.

15. You aren't able to stop the haram immediately and keep on procrastinating and delay taubah.

16. You aren't ready to displease people to please Allah.

17. You care a lot about what is in vogue (You want to belong).

18. You plan far far ahead into the future.

19. Seeking for Islamic knowledge comes secondary (that's if it ever comes) after pursuing your future career.

20.Your friends aren't the type that remind you of Allah.

21. You regard people as successful according to their status in this world.

22. A whole day passes without you thinking of death.

23. You can afford to waste so much of your time doing things that wont benefit you in the hereafter.

24. Doing acts of ibadah becomes very difficult for you.

25. You cant seem to be able to change your extravagant lifestyle despite knowing Allah dislikes the extravagant.

26. You love visiting the lands of the kuffar.
27. You are told about the dangers of consuming riba yet you argue that this is
the only way you can survive. You add that if you find a better halal income you’ll
change.

28. You want to live life to the fullest.

29. You care so much about your physical appearance.

30.You believe the end of time is still far far away.

31. You see things happening to others and you don't stop to think it could happen to you too.

32. You bury the dead yet you don't learn anything from it.

33. You want to ‘make ends meet’ by all m. eans.

34. You are always in a haste to finish your prayer and continue with what you are doing.

35. You don’t think that today could be your last day

36. You are solely comforted by luxury (not by the remembrance of Allah)

37. You don’t ask Allah for paradise the way you ask for your duniya..

I am not also free of some of these All we need do is to evaluate our deeds and actions cos Allah forgives and He is truly merciful. May he continue to be our guide

Islam is a complete way of life.
