A Guide to Positive Thinking and Having a Good Opinion of Allah

This is something that can happen from a person feeling victimized or ostracized by their own culture and being overcome with anger. It does happen enough though that it should be a concern. It will be best for you to keep your head on your shoulders and not get caught up with extreme points of view. Extremism is on the very edges of the Islamic thought.

Do your best to stay on a middle way. Being a convert to Islam, you will face a lot of tribulations. There is not anything that you cannot overcome though, and never despair in Allah swt.

Allah swt guided to you to Islam, you searched for the answer and you found it. Be happy and constantly remind yourself of the blessings in your life. Rejoice in being Muslim. Be strong and find comfort in your prayers and worship to Allah swt. Masha Allah, these are amazing tips and as a revert I want to try them.

Count all your Blessings and ponder over your past, recounting all the moments that Allah never let you down. This creates hopelessness in us and we begin to despair the Mercy of Allah. Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him set out of his home with Abu Bakr may Allah be pleased with him as his companion to migrate to Madeenah, while the Quraysh were conspiring against him. This is an example of nothing but having a strong conviction that Allah is the Most Powerful and the One in control of everything.

Allah mentions this historical event in the Quran:. And Allah is Exalted in Might and Wise. Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him was having his mid-day sleep under a tree, with his sword hanging on one of the branches. We also need to keep in mind that good opinion has to be followed by good actions. And whoever relies upon Allah — then He is sufficient for him. Indeed, Allah will accomplish His purpose.

Islamic Knowledge – Islam, Sunnah, Salafiyyah

For instance, if He Promises ease with every hardship, then indeed we will have that ease. If Allah Promises us increase in our sustenance if we spend in His way, then we must have firm belief in that too.

This teaches us to sincerely repent and seek forgiveness from Allah with the hope that He will accept our repentance and forgive us. If we did not have this certainty in our hearts, then we will never seek forgiveness and perhaps will keep on sinning. The most crucial stage to have a good opinion of Allah is when calamity falls upon the believer. It is very easy to complain at that time, lose hope and be in the worst state of negativity. The Prophets and Messengers of Allah had pinned all their hopes onto Allah, most especially when all odds were stacked against them. The fire was cooled for Prophet Ibrahim peace be upon him , Prophet Yunus peace be upon him came out of the belly of a fish and Prophet Zakariya peace be upon him was blessed with a child even though he was old and his wife barren.

Because they knew that Allah would respond to their pleas and get them out of every situation no matter how impossible they seemed. Having good opinion of Allah has one major byproduct — it makes us positive about life itself. This positive mindset will help us in keeping calm even during turbulences and help us get rid of pessimistic thoughts. Having a positive outlook is the most important thing to bring ease in life especially when everything around us seems unbearable.

It will help us be consistent in our worship and teach us to ask from Allah alone rather than tiring ourselves in struggling to gaining acceptance from people. What if you did not experience success even though you worked hard and had good opinion of Allah?

Well, remember that what seems like failure to us now will in fact bring only the best — even much better than what we had initially anticipated. It might be that Allah is saving us from something not in our knowledge. So we have to do our best in everything and accept His Divine Will that whatever we get is in our best interest, and be thankful to Allah.

And Allah Knows, while you know not. How does having good opinion of Allah help you in life? Looking forward to your kind comments below. This is such a lovely post. It is very important to have a firm belief in Allah and to keep asking for forgiveness and for seeking only HIS help in times of need.

I had never thouht of it in that way that we tend to associate human-like attributes with Allah. May Allah forgive us and help us to always turn to him for everything. Beautiful reminder and beautifully written. Our sins do not define us and the more good we see in almighty Allah, the more good is bestowed upon us!

Masha Allaah very comprehensive and much-needed topic. May Allaah reward you for your efforts. Elhamduallah, I have come past it.
