Petty allegations about man’s creation, trials and sins

Distress does not justify discontentment
Assalaamu ‘Alaykum,
When we were studying in India, some colleagues, may Allaah guide them, would say, “Even Hell is better than India!” whenever they faced any difficulty. Some of them even used to swear saying, “By Allaah, Hell is better than this torment!”

Misconceptions about fate
Allaah The Almighty Says (what means): {Whoever Allaah sends astray— there is no guide for him.} He also Says (what means): {And whoever Allah guides— for him there is no misleader.}
Therefore, even if we observe the Sharee‘ah (Islamic law) we will not be guided unless Allaah The Almighty wants this, therefore why are we held accountable for.. More

A misconception regarding predestination of actions

2- There is no specific ratio between the two.
3- Man is more driven than free to choose.
Which of these opinions is the soundest? Is it a debatable issue.. More

Why Allaah has made some people rich and some people poor
Muhtaram, Assalamualikum. I have a question about the acceptance of supplication(Dua)to Allah. We often pray to Allah in our daily life. But all of them are not accepted by Allah. Though Allah knows the best why He doesn't accept all the prayers. Certainly He does it for our well being in present and next life. But to me, and also to many other people.. More
