I also felt I needed to learn Islam for myself because many Muslims didn't have answers for me, and some were clearly wrong & misleading. I had to subscribe to Bayyinah online in order to have my questions properly answered by a scholar & actually learn the proper translations & get a good understanding of the Quran because I'm not an Arabic speaker. There were so many misconceptions I harbored against Islam because of social brainwashing. It was important to me to be able accept & understand all of the Islamic teachings in order to embrace Islam. I still have much to learn, but at least now I have enough knowledge to defend my beliefs against manipulation. Insha'allah I will remain on this path. 🤲
Brother you do not need to live like a saint to clean your heart You can clean your heart now. Do not let Shaytan trick you in this and tell you to postpone your repentance. Remembering Allah by doing Zikr all the time. Istighfar. Reading Quran even one ayah. Do not let Shaytan disencourage you. Do doaa all the time. The cleaning of the heart starts now. Not in the future when you come to Medina or Bosnia or or. The Profet Muhammad peace be upon him did everything and he prayed and asked forgiveness at least 100 times a day. Please do not fall into this trap. Remember Allah all the time. Do not wait for the prayers. Remember even your family and work travel eating sleeping are acts of worship if you corrected your intentions and made it to Allah alone. Do not postpone getting closer to Allah. Read about how Istigfar encounter sins. You do not need to feel that your sins now are keeping you away from cleaning your heart and feeling you can not get out because this is from Shaytan. Istigfar is enough to clean your heart, next step is doing tasbeeh, Hamd, other doaas. Allah forgives our sins even if they were the size of the earth. Remember that Shaytan is working hard to put us down. We should be aware of his tricks.
May Allah grant you ease and keep you steadfast on the right path my brother. Don't overburden yourself with the complex stuff and stick to improving your self as a Muslim. Shaitan makes us go too deep into some things so we get burned out. Much love ❤
If you study both Alija's books along with Alija's post facto stayements, ypu shall find out that nrither was based on any valid shariah rulings. Alija was a muslim, he loved Islam in his way he could due to circumstances of the tine he lived through out his life time. Hence, try not to get decieved and hooked on it.
Assalamu alaikum, most of the biggest supporters of Propeth Muhammad saw were very very rich. E.g. Abu Bakr r.a., Uthman r.a.who bought him self Jannah essentially. Saad ibn abi Wakas whose wealth had to be divided among his decendants for a long time, because so much was left behind him (fyi I think it was him not 100% sure). Abdurrahman ibn Awf whose caravans were could be paralleled only by Uthman's while both were extremely generous. Saad Ibn Ubadah who prayed for wealth and kept giving it away so much that he had a gift for Propeth saw each day of the year. Those are some of the examples of rich sahaba that we can look up to regarding wealth.
