    Peace justamuslim.

    Thank you for your answer.

    Point 1- I have commented in general. I did not know your personal circumstances. Please believe me when I keep saying that only God knows our hearts and intentions. I was trying hard to make sure I do not make any assumptions about you personally.

    point 2- Quote

    I don't believe God is what I have been mislead and continue to be mislead into believing by people using the same words of God. The God that I believe is not this angry superficial rigid God who obsesses over form, numbers, timing, rituals and such. instead the God that i believe in is the most loving, caring, understanding God who wants me to shine with happiness, who likes to make life easy for me not wishing hardship as He does not benefit from watching me suffer. More than that, God doesn't want me to suffer. This is the nature and essence of God. Do you dispute that?

    I totally agree with and endorse what you said.

    Point 3- God has allowed every human the " choice" Who am I to take that away from them?

    2267 For each congregation, We have decreed a set of rites that they must uphold. ( to test their loyalty to GOD ALONE!) Therefore, they should not dispute with you. You shall continue to invite everyone to your Lord ( GOD ALONE!) ..."

    2268 If they argue with you , then say? GOD is fully aware of everything you do.?

    2269 God will judge among you on the day of Resurrection regarding all your disputes.?

    Keep your loyalty to your Creator,it is between you and Him.
    Apologies if I misread/ misunderstood you.
    Peace sister.

      And " Inna maa al-usri yusran" ie With pain there is gain.

      Peace Good Logic,

      This translation is horrible. I don't know really why you bring such translations brother. It simply means "Indeed, with hardship there is ease".

      May Allah increase us in knowledge and guide us to His only path pr

        I go to bed or should go to bed when I am sleepy as I have short window period where if I am not in bed then I am wasted. Mostly I am in bed between 1030 to 1130 pm. If I am not sleepy then it doesn't matter if I go to bed earlier than that. I wake up between 630 to 730 am. I am at work most days at 9am. My boss and people at work know that I am not an early riser. Often times, they try to accommodate by having meetings later in the day.

        Salaam JaM,

        Thanks for your reply, I was expecting something similar.

        May Allah bless you,
        mmKhan

          I find it odd that God would command us to "establish" or "stand up". or be "firm" or "find strength through" salat.

          What does it mean to establish? To stand up? To be firm?

          I am not a morning person waking up with the birds before the crack of dawn. If I am awakened from deep sleep just before the alarm goes off, i struggle to get through the day and my performance is somehow impaired. Now, why would God want me to wake up from dead sleep, go wash myself up and praise him? God has no needs. But I need my sleep. Does God not care or understand my need to get a good night of sleep?

          I have not read about this aidid safar or watched the videos but this ritual salat sure doesnt make much sense to me.

          Wherever you intervene the thread goes offtopic
          You did not even read or examine the topic as it should be examined. (red)
          If you want to discuss your sleep habits, then open a new thread of your own!

            peace mmkhan

            The translations I use are horrible and yours are authorised?

            Quote This translation is horrible. I don't know really why you bring such translations brother. It simply means "Indeed, with hardship there is ease".

            "Indeed with hardship there is ease" and " With pain there is gain" you see differences?

            Brother, you will be going around in circles trying to explain plenty. One day you might realise that God tries believers( If you have not realised already!) by sending messengers?

            Peace.

            p.s Sorry Godsubmitter for going off topic. This is my last reply in this thread.

              Certainly my remark was not addressed to you. It was aimed to that woman "justamuslim".

              Apart from that, I actually agree with your answer to @mmkhan! )

              Peace @good logic.
