I received nothing I wanted.. I received everything I needed. Trust in Allah.

Why does God refer to Himself as We?
O Allah, I ask forgiveness of You for the injustice I committed against Your servants. Whatever of Your male or female servants whom I have hurt, physically or in their dignity or in their property give them of Your bounty which lacks nothing. And I ask You to honor me with Your mercy which encompasses all things. I am in great need of Your mercy, O Most Merciful of the merciful.
God’s Existence
In order to draw a clear picture of what I’m going to talk about, I am going to give examples. It is hard to proof that God exists because we cannot see Him. But we both know that just because we cant see something doesn’t mean its not there. Do you see wind? No. Then how do we believe in it’s existence. Do you see pain? No, but you feel it, so it exists. So now, if we take a look to the planes, cars, TVs, etc, it would be irrational if we say that all exist by themselves. There must be people who make them, right?
Facts:
1. The Earth where 8 billion people live has circumference 40,000 km.
2. The circumference of the Sun is 4.3 million km.
3. The Sun and its 8 planets along with 100 billion stars are in the Milky Way galaxy whose length is 100,000 light years away.
4. Milky Way is only a galaxy among thousands galaxies that form a Cluster. This cluster with thousands clusters form 1 Super Cluster. And thousands of Super Clusters form the Universe whose length is 30 billion light years away.
Imagine if the distance between Earth and the Sun is 150 million km and passed by the light in just 8 minute, then the whole Universe passed by the light in 30 billion years. That is equal to 285 billion trillion km away. If a man could run 40 km/hour without stopping, he would pass the distance in 810,000 trillion years! Even you sent us a video the other day: “We are nothing.” The video talked about the comparison of a human being to the largest star in the world. No comparison right?
That is the greatness of Allah’s creation! If you believe in the magnificence of Allah’s creation, then you should believe in the magnificence of Allah, and that He in fact exists.
In the Quran Allah explains that He is the creator of Heaven, Star, Sun, Moon, and others:
“Blessed be He Who hath placed in the heaven mansions of the stars, and hath placed therein a great lamp and a moon giving light!” [Quran 25:61]
Fundamental Rules to formulate an organizational structure of a Government
1. Allah (SWT) is “the real ruler and the oder is from Allah alone.” All governments are Allah’s vicegrant or representative. The real power in a country is of Allah alone.
2. The jobs in a country are not to be distributed in the ratio of their population in various territories. Only qualified and able people should be assigned to various jobs.
3. Since people are only representative of Allah, they should always obey the instruction and guidance of Allah in all matters.
4. If a dispute arises, justice should be done irrespective of race, language, color, or religious affiliation.
The Prophet taught, “Truthfulness leads to righteousness, and righteousness leads to Paradise. And a man keeps on telling the truth until he becomes a truthful person. Falsehood leads to Al-Fajur (i.e. wickedness, evil-doing), and Al-Fajur (wickedness) leads to the (Hell) Fire, and a man may keep on telling lies till he is written before Allah, a liar.” [Sahih al-Bukhari, Vol. 8:116]
“The Qur’an is comprised of the complete, eternal Words of Allah. If we receive a letter from someone we love, our hearts are soothed by reading their words. Because we love them, and especially if it is someone we respect, we take their words seriously and know they have our best interests in mind. If it is someone we are longing to meet, we read their words over and over again, seeking refuge in them, until we meet them. Now imagine that the Qur’an is made up of the Words of Allah, directed to you. Imagine the longing of the heart for the Words of its Most Beloved, of its Master.”

The word: Islam
The word Islam has a two-fold meaning: submission and peace. This submission requires a fully conscious and willing effort to submit to the One God. Once we humble ourselves and submit totally to God – in faith and in action – we will surely find an inner peace in our lives. These two meanings are interrelated to one another in such a way that the natural consequence of this act of submission to God is that man achieves peace to his own self as the end result of his action. In short, Islam means peace acquired by submitting your will to God’s will.
Do what you can in this dunya. And believe, you, me. God will reward you for your painstaking effort. So dont worry. He will make everything easier for you in school. Do not worry. If you have faith and trust in God, then you do not need to worry. You are doing the right thing, so why would you be worried? You love God. And God loves you. Now is the time. Worry about the dunya.. when you’re dead.
When waking up at night
Narrated Ubada Bin As-Samit that Allah’s Messenger (SAW) said: ‘Whomever wakes up at night and says La ilaha illallahu wahdahu la shrika lahu lahulmulku, wa lahul hamdu, wa huwa ala kulli shai’in qadir. Alhamdu lillahi, wa subhanallahi wa la ilaha illallahu, wallah akbir, wa la hawla wala quwata illa billah (none has the right to be worshipped but Allah (SWT) He is the only one who has no partners. His is the kingdom and all the praises are for Allah (SWT) All the glories are for Allah (SWT) And none has the right to be worshipped but Allah (SWT) and Allah (SWT) is the most Great and there is neither might nor power except with Allah (SWT) and then says, Allahumma ighfir li (O Allah! Forgive me) or invokes Allah (SWT), he will be responded to and if he makes ablution and performs Salat (prayer), his Salat (prayer) will be accepted. [Sahih al-Bukhari]
