How Bilal Phillips Motivates Muslims
↓1 – Allah (SWT) Does Not Burden A Soul
Allah has tailor made the test for each and every one of us and none of us will be given something which we can’t bear. I am given something that I can bear and you are given something that YOU can bear. The tests won’t be the same for you and me. This is why suicide is the a great wrong because by suicide you’re basically declaring, ‘Oh Allah this is too much, I can’t take it anymore!
“Every time you give up something for the sake of Allah, He will keep replacing it with something better. Make decisions the right way.”

“If you feel that you are lonely and are on the lookout for the ultimate friend, then perhaps you have never communicated with Allah enough. Because if you poured your heart to Him, if you obeyed Him, if you trusted Him, if you knew that He is always there for you, if you turned to Him always for His help, His guidance, His care, His mercy, His barakah, you would never feel alone. Make it a habit to converse with Him. Vocalize your thoughts to Him, though He already knows and sees all. Make a start in these last few nights of Ramadan and let it mark the beginning of an ultimate connection with your Master.”

↓12 – Allah (SWT) Is Enough
“Why worry when have Allah with you?!
He is there for you all the time,
He is your constant companion,
He knows what you’re going through,
He knows those feelings you’ve struggled so hard to put to words,
He understands your tears when everyone else is wondering what the matter is,
He knows the constriction in your heart,
the uneasiness in your soul and He *can* bring you out of it and make things easy,
but only if you seek His help and trust Him.
Unfortunately, man is too busy looking at closed doors rather than focusing on the ones that are wide open.”
– Dr. Bilal Philips

– Dr. Bilal Philips
