Shaykh Muhammad Shaykh Muhammad Guidance is in the Hand of Allaah
From Usool al-Deen al-Islami by Shaykh Muhammad ibn Ibraaheem al-Tuwayjri
How can we reconcile between the aayahs [interpretation of the meanings] : “Verily, you [O Muhammad] guide not whom you like”[al-Qasas 28:56] and “And verily, you [O Muhammad] are indeed guiding [mankind] to the Straight Path”[al-Shooraa 42:52] ?
Looking for a Job Looking for a Job He Wants to Work Some Days of the Week and Spend the Rest in Worship
Shaykh ‘Abd al-Kareem al-Khudayr
I know a Brother in Islaam, who left his haraam job, after realsing the haraam nature of it - Alhamdhu Lillah. He is now looking for a job that is just sufficient to feed and clothe his family. He is keen to work only as many days to earn that income.
The rest of the week he wants to spend in the mosque reading Qu'raan and praying etc. is his behaviour permissible? Does Islaam not say that the daytime is for seeking sustenance and the night for prayers.? is it not better for him to seek a good job so that the extra money can be given as zakat to the poor? Doesn't his family have rights over him with regard to time.
Islamic Religion Islamic Religion She Always Feels Distressed When Plane Crashes Happen
Sheikh Muhammed Salih Al-Munajjid
I am newly converted to the Islamic religion. to get to know Allah and be able to know that He is with us in our daily life, it is a great comfort. However, I was so stunning by the air plane crash of JFK jr., I could not stop crying. I don't understand why Allah sometimes acts in a such mysteroius way. I feel that we as human beings really don't have control over lives. When I am in a difficult situation, I often pray to Allah to help me go through the tough time, sometimes I feel my prayers are being answered,that Allah is so close to me; yet other times I feel He is so distanced from us, prayers to Allah are the only way for me to get comforts from the Almighty, but I still don't understand why tragedy happened so often.
Evil Deeds Evil Deeds the Difference Between Punishments and Trials
Sheikh Muhammed Salih Al-Munajjid
Allah menitions in the Quran that when an evil befalls us it is due to what our own hands have earned. Also our beloved Messenger, Muhammad [sallalahu 'alayhi wassallam] said in a hadith that the most tried are the Prophets, then those in piety after those. So therefore in our day to daylife when things go wrong in our lives how do we decide whether it is due to our sinfulness or that Allah loves us . and therefore sends a trial upon us Jazakallahu khairun

Acts of Worship Acts of Worship Conditions for Deeds to be Acceptable to Allaah
Sheikh Muhammed Salih Al-Munajjid
When a Muslim does an action, what conditions make it acceptable and therefore rewarded by Allah. is it simply that you intended to follow the Qur'an and Sunnah, and therefore you will be rewarded even though you may have been wrong in your action. Or is it that you must have the intention, but you also need to follow the correct Sunnah as well.
