[92.4] Your striving is most surely (directed to) various (ends).
It is not easy to have faith and hope in
God to the extent that is ideal, which is
why although the Quran says we are
born as submitters:
[30.30] Then set your face upright
for religion in the right state-- the
nature made by Allah in which He
has made men; there is no altering
of Allah's creation; that is the right
religion, but most people do not
know —
It also tells us that a “turning” process is
required.
[6.79] Surely I have turned myself,
being upright, wholly to Him Who
originated the heavens and the
earth, and I am not of the
polytheists.
[9.112] They who turn (to Allah),
who serve (Him), who praise
(Him), who fast, who bow down,
who prostrate themselves, who
enjoin what is good and forbid
what is evil, and who keep the
limits of Allah; and give good
news to the believers.
Turning to God then leads to an
increase in guidance:
Ansa# Energy

[13.27] ... and guides to Himself
those who turn (to Him).
Without “turning” to a spiritual Qibla,
we may be travelling on all kinds of
paths instead of Siraat ul Mustaqeem.
And because one needs a physical
Waseela in the direction of which it is
required to turn towards in order to
reach the Unseen, we have a Sunnat to
follow, a Quran to read, a Prophet
(s.a.w.w) to emulate and his relatives to
narrate his traditions to us. But because
there are so many physical temptations
to turn towards also, one might, if not
paying attention, find that they are
following a Pied Piper of a Taghoot.
[2.256]... therefore, whoever
disbelieves in the Taghoot and
believes in Allah he indeed has laid
hold on the firmest handle, which
shall not break off, and Allah is
Hearing, Knowing.
Some Muslims even say, “it’s all very
well to focus on Islam, but Islam is only
philosophy. What about real things?”
Where art thou, Abu Dharr? Again, I
remind you, this is aimed at Muslims.
Those who persist in their striving
stripped of the first step of hoping in
God alone, have in reality lost their
Asalaam Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa
Barakatu,
O Ansar Allah, Can You do This?
With the many tests the Ansari are going
through and with the Coming Punishments,
only Allah (swt) Knows What is to Come and
His Will is Just.
Many of us have found ourselves to be
somewhat stressed out about the situations. It
is understandable, as even though we are
Ansar Allah, the Dunya is constantly
throwing webs at us and trying to trap us
with its allurements. You have to be in this
world and not of this world. Not only is it a
battle with the Ego Monster, there are also 60
Shaiteen assigned to every Ansar Allah
wanting to trip them up at every opportunity.
Which is why we must remind one another of
who we are and what this path is about,
Inshallah, Mola Ali Waaris.
We know the power of group prayer and
meditation, add to that the Ansari Energy,
Subhanallah.
labor, no matter what skills they think
they have:
[18.104] (These are) they whose
labor is lost in this world's life and
they think that they are well versed
in skill of the work of hands.
Those who rejected their God-sent
Waseela, their Prophets and their
“Bayyinat” (clear evidence), those who
did not seek to ask their Prophet, or the
Imam of their Time for the particular
guidance they needed, existed in the
past. How they were dealt with is
recorded in the Quran.
[30.9] Have they not traveled in the
earth and seen how was the end of
those before them? They were
stronger than these in prowess, and
dug up the earth, and built on it in
greater abundance than these have
built on it, and there came to them
their apostles with clear arguments;
so it was not beseeming for Allah
that He should deal with them
unjustly, but they dealt unjustly
with their own souls.
So let Muslims take heed, or bring a
Quran better than the one they
currently follow which permits them to
focus solely on effort and skill.
