Raise your hand.



15. Raise your hand ...

At the end of the day the fight is your own. We may give you a shield and a sword, your friend may give you armor and a helmet, but you have to fight the duality of addiction.

Alone.

Can't you agree with Musa (% E)?

The thick water in front. There is no escape. Pharaoh's army is rushing back, furious. To cut Moses and his people to pieces. Musa's (El) eyes say destruction is inevitable. Musa's (E /) ear says destruction is inevitable. The argument is that destruction is inevitable. The people of Musa (2) are repeatedly asking Musa (El) “Where is your God? Where? ”

Moses (4EI) disbelieved his eyes, his ears, and paid no heed to the words of his people. Contrary to the warnings of all the senses, he relied on the promise of Allah (5). Believed. Introducing extreme tawakkul, he said, “Surely our Lord is with us. He will save us. ”

This reward for trusting in God (7) was given by God (Moses). (4El) And delivered his people from the hand of Pharaoh, and from the tomb of Pharaoh. Help came from God (5) from an unimaginable source.

"And whosoever puts his trust in Allah, He will suffice him." (Surat at-Talaq; 65: 3)

Brother, put your trust in Allah, fear Him. He is sufficient as a helper for His servants. He must arrange for you

You will do it, to overcome any danger, any adversity, any addiction.

Tawakkul is the characteristic of a believer. Allah (6) says, "Put your trust in Allah, if you are true believers" (Surat al-Ma'ida; 5:23).

"And upon God let the believers rely." (Surat at-Tawbah; 9:51)

Throughout the ages, believers have achieved something through this tawakkul that is impossible from a natural point of view, incomprehensible to reason, with scientific formulas that cannot be explained in any way.

The then superpower Persian Empire is at war with the Muslims. Incredibly drawn superpower rates in several drawn wars. The Persians are running from Narsi to Madain for fear of defeat again. Saad Ibn Abi Waqqas (7), the commander of the Muslim army, is chasing after them. Chased by Muslim forces, the Persian forces retreated and crossed the Tigris River. By the time the Muslim forces arrived on the banks of the river, the inferior fire-worshiping Persian forces had taken all the boats to the other side of the river. There was no way for the Muslims to go to the other side of the river. Every effort was made but no boat could be arranged anywhere. Finally, relying on Allah (14), they climbed on their backs and went down to the river. Many of the Muslim forces had never seen a river or a pond before. They had the huge Tigris River in the Pacific Ocean.

Think about it, try to understand their psychology in that moment. If you were told to cross the ocean on horseback, would you ever agree? And finding no way out, they relied only on Allah (14) and went down to the river with their necks. The reward of tawakkul is given by Allah () proving all the sources of science wrong. Saad's (4) forces crossed the river sitting on their backs. When the Persian army saw the Muslims crossing the river on their backs, they thought they were not humans, but jinn. Frightened, they fled the battlefield. The Muslim forces got a taste of victory.

Imam Ibn Kathir (p), Al-Bidaya and Fan Nihanga, 6: 122. Ifa)

Tawakkul has two prerequisites. One is useless without the other.

1. To have complete trust in Allah (2).

2. Try your best to use the means at your disposal.

Suppose you intend to recite Fajr in the mosque. He had full confidence in Allah (swt) that Allah (swt) would arrange for the Fajr prayers to be performed in the mosque. This was the first condition of Tawakkul. Now the second condition is that you have to try yourself so that you can perform the Fajr prayers in the mosque, go to bed early, set an alarm if needed or talk about waking someone up. This is the second condition. In order to get the results of Tawakkul, you have to fulfill both these conditions. You relied on Allah (swt) but went to sleep after midnight, did not give alarm, did not tell anyone to wake up, sniffed at Fajr and went to sleep ... its name is not tawakkul. Allah (swt) sends angels to take you to the mosque in His lap. Don't give up.

You will do your work as much as possible, then Allah (swt) will see the rest. That is Tawakkul. Doing everything in one's power, then relying on Allah (swt) for success. Why did God tell Moses (8) that you hit the sea with the stick in your hand? Why did God make a road under the sea? Moses (7) What can a little stick hit the huge sea like that?

By instructing Moses (6) to hit the sea water, Allah (8) wanted to teach mankind that first you do your part, I see the rest. First you have to try your best. And Allah is the owner of success (7).

The God who made the road in the sea for Moses, the God who calmed the fire for Abraham, the one who split the moon for Muhammad, the same God is our God! Can't that God ($) free us from these terrible addictions? Of course you can. But we are on him

I don't get results without seeing Tawakkul or sincerely wanting to be free.

By God! By God! Only by relying on Allah ($) can it be possible to get rid of any addiction including porn, masturbation / chat talk. Have full faith in Allah (swt) that He will arrange for you to be brought from this dark world to a world full of color, form, juice, smell and aroma. Then do as much as you can, honestly, with sincerity. In sha Allah will see that no kind of addiction will find a door to escape.

But just sitting there believing in Allah (swt), not trying your best, not looking down at the girls, not skipping the item song, not stopping talking to the girls in the magazine with friends - then you will never get rid of the addiction . No, never. God is there to forgive you, waiting for you to return to Him. Raise your hand, He will pull you out of this world and give you a place in Paradise.

Trust in your Lord, in your Master. This time will soon be over In sha Allah ...
