i have been meaning to sit and write the update to this.. but i cant yet find the words and time..
but if i start when net i appear, I know what i want to say..
Salat..3 Vs 5.. rationalising by Adetutu..
When did it strike me, Just last month at the Quran study.. I found an answer to my own question.. cohesiveness is the key... commonality is hidden therein.. The scripture provides insight, its words are enlightening, Understanding comes from God.
remember the elephant story..
take 5 people and blindfold them, gag their noses, and block their ears. Place an elephant in front of them and ask then individually to tell you what they have.
They will each tell you something different to the other because what they have is a part of the picture, They cant see the whole picture.
If you ask them to confer with each other will they then be able to tell you that its an elephant, for in confering and sharing ideas they begin to see the whole picture...
3 vs 5..
also remember, what is not mentioned directly doesnt mean it does not happen.. look at different scenarios. LOGIC becomes reasoning factor. God willing you will arrive at it..

HOPE is the last thing that dies with man!!
I am reading this article now and i thought i would share it with you.
what got me to this page.. well, I was googling the word i remember reading from the scripture.." none despairs of his Gods mercy" or someting thereabouts.
this is the site i got it from: http://www.usn2161.net/hope.html
Hope is a "meaning", any meaning we feel with our hearts comes directly from God.
God says that the strayers don't have Hope! why?
Because the next step in Satan's path after Fear is Despair.
For example, a bussinessman loses all his money suddenly in a fire, what is he to do now?
It is just a test from God. There are two paths, two choices are made available for him.
The first is to Accept God's will, and understand that nothing actually belonged to him, it all belonged to God,
and therefore no need to worry or grieve, this is God's inspiration (through the angels).
He should then ask God alone for help and mercy, repent from all his past transgressions, and pledge to God
that he will do his best to stay on the balanced straight path. He should do this in full conviction that God is
indeed Capable of recompensing him with twice as much wealth as he once had, this is what is called Hope,
hope for God's forgivness and mercy.
The second path is Satan's, he will whisper to the guy his evil whipers (through the Jinns), he will tell him that
"IT'S OVER!", he will exaggerate the problem and its complications in his mind, throwing him in the deep darkness of despair!
Satan will lie to him that "There is no way out this time!", that it is Impossible to get his business back on track again!
Satan will tell him that soon he will have to face the shame of poverty, and need, and all his family, friends and
business partners will look down at him now that he has no money!, this ofcourse if accepted by the poor guy would
induce a state of fear in his mind or what some call "Trauma", this fear, worry and eventually despair lead some even to
commit suicide to escape from the nightmare!, and if he didn't kill himself, he would seek illegal ways to get back his business. Either way Satan would have accomplished his goal of turning the man unappreciative of God, and totally preoccupied with the material idols, seeking help from them instead of God!
God repeatedly in His Quran has stressed on the fact that the believers in Him alone, shall never suffer any worry, grief or despair.
The believers acknowledge and readily accept God's will, they steadfastly endure disasters.
[2:155] We will surely test you through some fear, hunger, and loss of money, lives, and crops. Give good news to the steadfast.
[2:156] When an affliction befalls them, they say, "We belong to GOD, and to Him we are returning."
[2:157] These have deserved blessings from their Lord and mercy. These are the guided ones.
The believers know that everything comes from God, however the cause of bad things happening is them accepting Satan's invitaion, that's why they immediately repent, reform and ask God for forgivness.
[4:78] Wherever you are, death will catch up with you, even if you live in formidable castles. When something good happens to them, they say, "This is from GOD," and when something bad afflicts them, they blame you. Say, "Everything comes from GOD." Why do these people misunderstand almost everything?
[4:79] Anything good that happens to you is from GOD, and anything bad that happens to you is from you. We have sent you as a messenger to the people, and GOD suffices as witness.
This is the straight path, Hope comes from God alone, whoever wants it should seek it at Him. Nothing has any power to harm, save or benefit us, only God can. If we remember this in times of disasters, no fear, worry, grief or despair can afflict us God willing.
[15:56] He said, "None despairs of his Lord's mercy, except the strayers."
Never despair
[39:53] Proclaim: "O My servants who exceeded the limits, never despair of GOD's mercy. For GOD forgives all sins. He is the Forgiver, Most Merciful."
[12:87] "O my sons, go fetch Joseph and his brother, and never despair of GOD's grace. None despairs of GOD's grace except the disbelieving people."
God forgives and recompenses
[42:28] He is the One who sends down the rain after they had despaired, and spreads His mercy. He is the only Master, Most Praiseworthy.
Things are impossible only when we depend on a thing or a person for help, and because the creatures themselves are powerless, they cannot help us and therefore trigerred by Satan, we resort to despair and the "impossible" mentality. Even the most "incurable" disease in the world is easy for God to cure!
Nothing is impossible, all power belongs to God alone
[2:165] Yet, some people set up idols to rival GOD, and love them as if they are GOD. Those who believe love GOD the most. If only the transgressors could see themselves when they see the retribution! They will realize then that all power belongs to GOD alone, and that GOD's retribution is awesome.
[22:15] If anyone thinks that GOD cannot support him in this life and in the Hereafter, let him turn completely to (his Creator in) heaven, and sever (his dependence on anyone else). He will then see that this plan eliminates anything that bothers him.
The only way to get rid of worry, fear and despair is GOD ALONE
Let Him be your First Priority, and forget about worry, fear and despair forever!
All it takes is to constantly proclaim that you disbelieve in any inherent power in things or people to harm or benefit you, and that you believe in God alone.
[41:30] Those who proclaim: "Our Lord is GOD," then lead a righteous life, the angels descend upon them: "You shall have no fear, nor shall you grieve. Rejoice in the good news that Paradise has been reserved for you.
Whatever your problem is, however big it seems to be, you should put your trust in God, only Him can help you
To Him belongs all the power in the heavens and the earth, no matter how "impossible to be solved" it may seem, God can solve it, only if you steadfastly persevere and keep holding to the rope of God like Job did.
[38:41] Remember our servant Job: he called upon his Lord, "The devil has afflicted me with hardship and pain."
[38:42] "Strike the ground with your foot. A spring will give you healing and a drink."
[38:43] We restored his family for him; twice as many. Such is our mercy;
a reminder for those who possess intelligence.

life feels sooo bleak
I am tired of life.
Tired of working
tired of longing
tired of hoping
I am just plain tired.....
i have no energy left
i feel desolate and alone
i have no fighting spirit left..
in everything i askmyself
what is the situation and how do i feel about it
the situation is thus.. i am alone
and i feel alone...
i seek to thee yet again O lord, as always, as ever..
strenght from Thee which keeps my head up high
words from Thee which enrich and inspire my heart
patience is not a virtue i possess
but patience is one that i seek
still trusting, hoping that maybe just maybe,
Godwilling everything becomes settled for me ...
