Umm Maryam
ACE Productive Muslim

Ameen dear sis!
I run an NGO for teens, specifically young girls. I am dealing with a lot of them having self confidence issues, depression, dating and all the works. Its sometimes hard to believe I was a teenager once. I didn’t make all the right decisions but I strongly believe they brought me were I am today.
So my project is to find ways to interact with the text before us, the Quran and Sunnah, and truly show the young of our Ummah the solutions therein that have already existed 1400 years ago! No one showed me, but Allah never forsook me Alhamdullilah. He has been most kind to this sinful servant.
I pray I can connect to my teens and make them connect with their Lord through these stories and life events and know that they are truly blessed by having being gifted Islam that sets them far above the pettiness and worldliness that threatens to consume us if we let it.
Does that make any sense?
I tend to babble…

I truly admire how you’re addressing your doubts. If everyone did that like you did, our faith will be firm and unshakable. We would all be real representatives of Islam. My respect Md. Sazzad
May Allah help me clarify them inshAllah

Okay so question one:
You’ll have to keep reading coz this question is answered by Supa herself later on. Shhhh I’m not allowed to say more loool
Question two:
It’s true the word “if” messes us up only when we use it to choose a scenario that seems better to us. A scenario that Allah didn’t choose. When you say “if I hadn’t fell I would have been able to get children and be happy”. Is exactly like saying “I know better than Allah” or “Allah decreed an unfair destiny for me, or did something that ruined my life”
When you’re 100% positive that Allah only does good, you’ll use the word “if” to justify His decree, and never to blame Him. You’ll always look at the blessing in what He gave you, and the hidden evil in what He denied you. Coz when you really know Allah, you know that sometimes depriving you from something you want is a blessing in disguise. Like the story in Surat Al Kahf with Al Khidr. It teaches us Allah wants only good for us , even when on the outside it seems bad or cruel or confusing.
I really hope I answered your questions.
May Allah guide us all and forgive me for my shortcomings if I didn’t explain His messages clearly. I have a phobia of that 😬
