Muslims!!!?

Question

Muslims what do you find is weak in your religion (bc Allah knows we have have this) I do not mean a thing bc that is personal but more what do you find is your struggle in Islam? And what do you find is your strength?

I have many flaws as a Muslim. I have a bad temper, I can get mouthy (being a woman dont help, lol)

and I have good traits such as that I love animals, im kind, and i enjoy helping others.

RAMADAN is the new Islam section for us, lol...

Answer 1

My temper can get bad if I'm not careful, but on the flip side, I don't let things bother me.

I'm patient, kind and helpful to a fault.

Answer 2

What do I find weak, I find that many Muslims do not know their religion...They either do not bother to read and learn or think because they do not agree with something in Islam that they do not have to follow it...This is why we all need to do jihad everyday, because it is a struggle and those who struggle the most to be good Muslims will be rewarded...
My strength in Islam is given from Allah(SWT) he has given me so many gifts in life and I do not take advantage of this, my faith is very strong......My weakness towards Islam would be sometimes I am intolerant of other Muslims who talk something which are lies or misleading about Islam...Many people just say they are Muslim but they do not know anything about Islam....Inshallah we will all learn more and more till the hour...

Answer 3

To become a mukminin, is not easy ; being a good muslimah is very difficult; That's why I choose Islam as my religion, I have an on going "homework" through my entire life.

Sabr, was my most weakness, that word was almost lost in my vocubularly, but as I grew old, with being more and more aware of my being, sabr and understanding and put myself in the other person's position becoming my character most of the times.

Shalat was very difficult for me, I always had excuses and excuses to skip the 5 times, and lived only with once daily, but again, as I grew older and older, I realized that I feel much happier and always feel happy and fullfilled after shalat, so I dont want to skip it anymore.

I dont know what my good character is, my surroundings think I am generous, and almost for sure, I always serve others before I serve myself and I dont want people especially my helpers feels sad for being unfortunate; so when I eat nice things I always give them some as well to try , I cant eat on myown . I am always afraid of Allah SWT. I always think that Allah SWT Loves and Care for me so much so I feel ashame not to care for others especially my family and anybody around me.

Is bad temper and quick temper the same ? I used to be a very quick temperred one , I am glad, that's over now.

Let all of us reach to be khusnul khatimah , Insyallah.

Answer 4

Struggle to practice what really should be practice, as many hold me back!! However hope keeps me going and I remember Allah (swt)s promise. Du'a is totally my tool, it really helps me! Also refelcting back on how the Prophet's (PBUT) and the companions were. They went through such hardships and I compare it to my, and I then think my struggle is nothing!!

Also I need to work on my temper, I can get a bit mouthy too (",) But I have come to realise having tantrums will not get me anywhere.

But Alhamdulillah apart form that I have good traits trying to perfect my self in many ways (",)

Answer 5

Islam teaches us to be so peaceful, that's why it bugs me when people say that Islam is a violent religion. For me it's hard not to say something mean when I’m angry, and praying constantly. No good deed can out weight missing prayers, but I think over all I'm a good person, and I do many good things from my heart. I’m grateful for that.

Answer 6

I find simply trying to pray my full 5 times namaz and on time difficult...Islam is perfect and yes like allready mentioned it's actulay us who are weak.....Islam is not difficult to put into practise as there are many people who do it..but guess its us as individuals who need to make space for Islam.....

Streng in Islam...hmmm..i think bascially being just a muslim is my strengh...knowing that we as a part of this religion and way of life and the we have the Holy Quran..the true and complete word of Allah...that is my strengh...because i turn towards Allah in an time of need through many ways and this has always been and always will be my strength

As a person i would say...sometimes i take things for granted...basically like my family for instance..im always complaing about what they do wrong and how they trouble me (my bros and sis's that is!) lol...and you just need to appreciate them......with this i could say i do get a bit 'mounthy' as well towards them...and yes you know it..the Mood Swings as well!..lol

Strenghs as a person...hmm...i'd say im quite patient..and that i do treat others with kindness (not including my siblings!! LOL)..no but even them i am ok with them..it isn't that bad....also urrm I'm honest and hardly ever lie and basically i get on with all types of people. : )

Answer 7

Well, sometimes it's hard to pray 5 times full namaz, of course, because I have school,but it's not that hard to do the khaza...but also sometimes it's a little bit harder to sort of, you know, become part of a different culture. (i'm american, and i see all these people) but of course i still find ways to still be muslim. i fast and wear modest clothing still (i don't wear hijab though) and OMG I hate when there's ppl in my school who don't fast during Ramadan i'm just like, how can you call yourself Muslim if you can't even follow one of the five pillars? Okay, i'm done with my rant...Sometimes it's hard to not look too different from another culture.

Answer 8

The way that I categorize things I guess. I find it hard, because some of my beliefs are not rational, and it bothers me. Like punishment in the afterlife. How come some people have to feel pain when they are already dead?! What is the point?

Answer 9

i don't find it weak in islam, only the interpretation of the believers, i think, bc i know the study of astrology is not accepted in islam and yet, in one book that won 1st prize in KSA, the biography of prophet mohammad, peace be upon him, there stated that his time of birth was confirmed by an islamic scholar and by an astrologer.
in me, i have a taste of extremely beautiful women although i don't indulged in zinnah, the consequence then is that i don't get impressed by ordinary looking women esp when they aged.

Answer 10

my flaws:
i dont read enough quran
too much music (im working on it, i swear!)
i wear hijab, but sometimes i worry my clothes arent "hijab" enough
i might snap at people if i get angry

BUT...
i DONT backbite (like every other woman on the planet)
i pray steadfastly
i keep a "donation jar" outside my room :)
i try as best i can to be a great example, especially around non-muslims
