Slipping on the deen….
Salam, 
Tip number one: stop mopping the floor for shatan
Question number one: why does our iman go up and down like the dow jones?
Yea I can feel it fluctuating, one day I am praying 5 times and the next day 4.
For those who analyze the stock market, obviously you can understand that it goes up and down, but although on the day it depreciates we don’t just say the stock is collapsing because it can go back up and we must look at the overall performance. Likewise for some moslems, my bad Muslims, our imam goes up and down, but when it goes down, do you just tell yourself that your failing and fall into depression? No!!!
Although we might have our ups and downs we have to ground ourselves at the end of the day and remind ourselves like yo “even though I had a bad day as a Muslim” I gotta use this as an incentive to do better especially when I wake up the next day, because we know the least of Allah gifts to us is another breath we take. So exhale, inhale…AllahuAkbar
Alot of us would never go gamble in Atlantic City or Las Vegas, but why do we gamble with our life? Rolling dice with the time we have is all an illusion. We have to constantly keep ourselves in check like a pair of Nikes and stay on point like a protractor and not be actors, we have to keep it real with ourselves and Allah, because with shatans deception comes a well polished oscar…award that is. Oh yea shatan is garbage like oscar the grouch, and next time you see pennies lying in your couch take it to the masjid and drop it in the donation box. A small deed can get you to heaven.
But you have to remember, be real with yourself. One thing i was thinking about over the weekend was how we say we believe in the Angels, the books, and everything that suppose to come with iman but where is the remembrance of the Angels who are recording our bad deeds when we are doing something haram. That moment in which you forgot is gone so the next one you have make sure you’re ready for it. Be conscious of yourself.
So sit down and ask yourselves some serious questions.
What is your purpose in life?
Do we constantly remind ourselves that Allah is watching us or are we worried about our parents watching us?
What do you submit to? Allah or something or someone else.
Inshallah yo, gotta get back on track like the MTA.
Wasalaam….Random Post of the day.
