Rough couple of weeks

yes brother .. that's the higher level of Jihad .. like sisters & brothers said .. you had to get Muslim Friends .. search for a near mosque or a Muslim Center .. and also, try to get married as soon as possibleand it's a good idea to blog about the things that face your way with allah .. we're your virtual muslim communicty .. but you had to have a muslim community near you .. birds never fly alone .. there is always groups to strengthen each othersRegards,Abdelrahman

i had my mom do her hair .. believe me it feels good to see her smiling and knowing that she feels beautiful and ofcourse she is . sure , temptations are there , little tests . i had pretty nasty friends before , they  seemed religious yet so worldly , and they pressured me to do all kinds of stuff , to this day it  casts a kind of dark shadow . Why was i insuch a hurry to be there ? to have that ? to worry for no reason at all? and sometimes , when i'm down and wallow i question why i had to walk in that path? how could i have been so blind ? so stupied ? they made me feel that while everybody was doing away with affairs of the heart , i would end up being consistent forever , and eventually grow cobwebs because i'll grow old and still be 'home'.Wel.. i'm still home , still consistent but Alhamdullilah great things are happening to be ,with prayers and patience Allah s.w bestows wonders . I don't have to play so hard , i just work hard and leave the rest to Allah s.w  . Ocassionally ofcourse , someone will ask me bluntly about my whereabouts and still make me feel i'm no where . But those ' flashbacks ' come on handy when i remember how so lost i once was , and how i walked in circles with friends who proved  at last they were ' toxic ' . with love ,very vanilla

As salaamu alaykum, Brother, get married. My wife and I got married after knowing eachother 29 days. We have been married for almost 3 years and have two kids already Alhamdullillah. We are both in College. I work part time and full time during the summer. But Allah makes a way for me to pay our bills every month. I only say this because many people feel that they do not have the $$$$ to get married. Look for a sister with good deen (Strong in Islam) that is not asking for a dowery of $50,000. Some sincere sisters only ask that you provide a place for them to live, food, and clothing (hijabs, dresses, shoes, etc.), and knowledge for a good husband. Make dua to Allah for strength. Brother, striving in Islam is much easier with a Muslim wife to comfort you when the outside world is coming at you with many tricks from the shaytaan. There are many Muslim women who are looking for husbands. What are the brothers waiting for? Get married. There are sisters out there who need a Muslim man to lead by example, teach, protect, etc. What are the brothers waiting for. Brothre, you are correct, Hellfire is not worth it. I was born and raised in this place we know as United States. I converted \ reverted to Islam 10 years ago. We as Muslims need to hang with the Muslim brothers and sisters. The Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. was married and found comfort with his wives after facing the harsh words and actions from the disbelievers. As salaamu alaykum. also, this society says to wait to get married. 1,2,3 years. By that time, all sorts of haram, hell fire risking behavior has taken place. Brother, I have some CD's (lectures on Islam) for you also. I can send them to you free. no charge for CD's or shipping.
Brother, stay strong, May Allah bless you. As salaamu alaykum. Abdul-Haq

As salaamu alaikum,

It is very hard for muslim men to remain unmarried at our age. The best advice that I can give you is to make your wake up in the last part of the night a pray. Then the fast, fast, fast. I remember during Rammadan these thoughts your unexistant.

Oh yea, it will help to make efforts towards getting married, even if you still are in school.
