Recently certain ex-Muslims, who are obsessed with making daily videos against Islam as though they don’t have anything else to do with their miserable lives,
have argued that their lives are better without Islam as they can fulfil their desires as they wish by doing ‘haram’ and there’s no one there to stop them.
Well, firstly, committing certain sins, which by the way many Muslims do too,
isn’t evidence that your life is “better”; and, secondly, this life is a test and everyone has the free will and choice to do good and bad. Being able to commit sins, and easily getting away with it in this short life, isn’t evidence that those sins are good or valid -
that’s the whole point of the test!
And, most importantly, the Quran has explained why some people get it good in this life despite disbelieving in Allāh and worshiping their desires. So, in essence, the behaviour of these ex-Muslims is not new.
Consider the following few verses amongst the many that are in the Holy Quran:
‘When they forgot the advice given to them, We opened to them the doors to all (good) things. When the time came that they rejoiced over what was given to them,
We suddenly gripped hold of them (punished them), leaving them despondent (having no hope of ever recovering the bounties they lost)’ (6:44);
‘Whoever desires the life of this world (and rejects the aakhirah),
we shall grant them the full rewards for their deeds in this very world and they will not be wronged’ (11:15);
Those who prevent (others) from the path of Allah (Islam), and seek a crookedness therein, while they are disbelievers in the Hereafter.
By no means will they escape on earth, nor have they protectors besides Allah (11:19/20).

Dedicated to all my brothers and sisters facing horrible people in life:
In life you may come across people who will exercise their power over you. They may cause you prolonged stress overtime but remember their strength and power will not go on for very long.
Within your lifetime you will notice them weaken for various reasons, be it a deficiency of health, wealth, age or some other factor.
The most important thing during this period is how we behave and we will certainly look back one day at this period of time.
And, during that period, those that maintained understanding, calmness, tolerance and good character will shine.
This is exactly what the Prophet went through in his Seerah. Most of his enemies didn’t make it past 13 years and the rest fell after another 8 years.
✦ Continue that hijaab and Niqaab.
✦ Continue prioritizing salaah over that movie and shopping spree.
✦ Continue to not eat at that posh restaurant where Haraam food is served.
✦ Continue to kindly tell people you will not indulge in gossip.
✦ Continue to follow the rules of segregation no matter how backward the world thinks you are.
✦ Continue fighting for haqq when everyone chooses to keep quiet.
✦ Continue to say no to smoking, drinking, fornication and clubbing when it's become the norm.
✦ Continue spending on Quran/Islamic lessons when others are spending on materialistic temporary things.
✦ Continue standing for Islam even if you are the last one standing.
1) The Patient & Just: The woman who remains patient in all circumstances, and never whines, moans and complains. When she has to communicate she is direct and clear. When some trouble or affliction hits her, she turns to Allah for help.
But when her rights are being trampled she has a strong voice and fights for her haqq.
Don't make mistakes some of our Fathers or Senior Brothers made.
Marry now with the little you have. Don't wait to be a millionaire, Have kids early so you can grow with them. Grow with your kids and succeed with your wife.
You will never finish making money or achieving your plans. You might still not succeed at your target year. So start your life early, with consistency you will grow.
My father said this to me: When i was 25, i was talking about making billions before i marry.
Many years later, billions didn't come, yet no kid no wife... I had an opportunity to marry the most beautiful love of my life very early, But my fear was, can i really take care of her? But right now She's married with Four grown up children.
