LAW OF ATTRACTION IN ISLAM

Muslims seeking their goals should focus on strengthening their relationship with Allah through prayer, good deeds, ethical striving and trust in His perfect wisdom, rather than techniques aimed at manipulating universal energies.

The concept of the "Law of Attraction" the popular New Age idea that focusing on positive or negative thoughts brings corresponding positive or negative experiences into your life does not exist in mainstream Islamic theology as a distinct or endorsed principle. 2/11
#Islam has its own comprehensive framework for understanding destiny, effort, supplication and Divine Will that #differs fundamentally from the "Law of Attraction".

The following summarises the main Islamic viewpoints that are pertinent to the conversation:

1. Primacy of Divine Will (#Qadar):
The core belief is that everything happens by the Will, Knowledge and Decree of #Allah. Nothing occurs without His permission.
The Holy Quran States 64:11:

مَا أَصَابَ مِنْ مُصِيبَةٍ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ وَمَنْ يُؤْمِنْ بِاللَّهِ يَهْدِ قَلْبَهُ
"No disaster strikes except by permission of Allah. And whoever believes in Allah - He will guide his heart..."

The Holy Quran States 57:22:

مَا أَصَابَ مِنْ مُصِيبَةٍ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَلَا فِي أَنْفُسِكُمْ إِلَّا فِي كِتَابٍ مِنْ قَبْلِ أَنْ نَبْرَأَهَا إِنَّ ذَلِكَ عَلَى اللَّهِ يَسِيرٌ
"No disaster strikes upon the earth or among yourselves except that it is in a register before We bring it into being - indeed that, for Allah, is easy."

Thank You People of #Namanga for the lovely experience.

The #Repentance of #Prostitutes:

Shaykh #Badrudin al-Hassani [الشيخ بدر الدين الحسني] was a major Hadith scholar of Syria [1850-1935 CE].

One day, he sent his student with a bag of coins to the prostitutes in Damascus with this message: 2/6
إن الشيخ يعطيكن هذه الهدايا ويسألكنّ الدعاء!!
'𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘚𝘩𝘢𝘺𝘬𝘩 [𝘉𝘢𝘥𝘳𝘶𝘥𝘪𝘯] 𝘨𝘪𝘧𝘵𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘮𝘰𝘯𝘦𝘺 𝘵𝘰 𝘺𝘰𝘶

It is reported that the prostitutes started crying, feeling #ashamed ...

My experience with Children who had #Dyslexia.

When I was in Mombasa, I was running a Madrasa with over 600 children for 3 years.
Some parents would remove their children from schools completely and make their children join the Madrasa fulltime so that they memorised the
