How is the presence of Allah manifest in your life? How is the Holy Spirit Manifested in your life? Do you feel the presence of Allah? Or do you feel alone?

Judgement day passes in the moment we decide something needs attention & we take positive action. Then there will be a great sorting out of people into groups, Inspired by Surah 99 Ayat 1-8

Dear Sis, can you let me know who is this "Holy SPirit" that needs manifestation in our life? Don't we already have a soul from God in us?

Dear AhmadJoyia I guess what I was asking was how do you let your spirit shine through? Are you a cheerful person, are you caring, do you do volunteer work? How do you make Islam manifest in your life besides prayer, Zakat and Hajj? I have come to accept it is all Islam and every aspect of life is Islam trying to evolve in and through us. Myself I try to be a good person though as with each of us we are tested and sometimes the test s are very challenging. I am curious as to what other Muslims are doing in the community to make the world a better place and even within their own families. I am curious if Muslims who have family problems go to counseling like Doctors and Psycologist? I hope you will share a little of your stories. To give me and others hope.

Assalamu alaikum, The "presence" of Allah(swt) is all around us and is alway present. Since Allah(swt) created everything and allows everything to happen, we should be constantly reminded of Him in our lives. We should never feel alone because we should always have Allah(swt) in our hearts and minds. When we experince the feelings of loneliness it is actually the lack of rememberance and thanks for Allah(swt) and the bounties that He has given us. If a person/family is experiencing problems, I think it would be best to consult the Imam at your mosque. While Docotrs and Psycologists are very knowledgeable in thier fields, majority of the issues can be resolved in Islam. That is part of the beauty of Islam, the Koran provides an outline of our responsibilities, what is right and wrong and a basic guidence. Insallah this answers a few of your questions. Lehua |

Dear Sis, though, I expected some direct answer for the word "Holy Spirit" that you selected to use in your post, but nevertheless, one could find a metaphorical explanation as well. But I don't see either of the two in your reply. Is there any specific reason for this omission? |

I guess what I am asking is how do you show the world Allah is in your life? I am curious what kind of volunteering and work you do. I have to say I am a bit tired of all the arguing. Just wanted a breather and hear something of the life of those I chat with. Just general comments are fine.
For myself I help several woman with various things from getting computers, writing papers, letters or applications. I advocate for people too with government agencies when they ask. I am currently trying to get some part time work to suppliment my income. I am hoping to start learning Arabic so I may read the Quran as it is written as well as converse with my Arabic speaking friends. I have helped my family a number of times as well and they help me when I need it. I am going to do a computer refresher course if I get accepted and then hopefully get a job in an office of some sort. I have lost some weight and have been getting healthier. So how about you what do you do to keep yourself busy? Do you volunteer, as I mentioned just a general idea.
I am interested in the efforts in community or your family to make a difference.

It is considered rather "unIslamic" to tell others about the charity one does. Giving charity and doing good for others (volunteer work) is not something you will find Muslims eager to talk about - it is considered boasting. The best charity is done without telling others about it. This is my understanding of Islam's position on giving. Peace, ummziba. |
