Our respected Ulamas ought to stop giving the distressed false hope. This constant bombardment with beautiful and sentimentalized phrases and sweet-talking aren't at all helpful. To those who understand it's a psychological trick to make the afflicted feel good or hopeful, it's too just painful to bear and only worsens the unimaginable trauma. Life clearly shows that we aren't all created equal by and to the Almighty Allah (SWT).
Some of us are created loved, others are created hated, and others find themselves in-between, and it's all reflected in our disparate lives. The loved ones enjoy a blissful life free of charge without even bothering to bear the Almighty Allah (SWT) in their hearts and minds. They never need to ask for anything in life. The hated ones are condemned to suffering for a prolonged time, if not their entire lifespan, despite all their Ibadah, Du'as, Sabr, Tawakkul, Righteousness, and the bucketloads of tears wasted in prayers; and yet, too much is being asked of them in order to have their needs met by the Almighty Allah (SWT). It's unfair. Life is what it is and nothing can change our different omens.
It also makes absolutely no sense that anyone that loves someone would hurt them at all, least of all, the Almighty Creator. How and why would He hurt His pious slaves that have done nothing wrong, while bestowing the sinners with the best of everything? It doesn't add up. It's equally bewildering to hear that a pressing need in this life prayed for has been either delayed or postponed to the Hereafter. It's totally pointless for a young pious man wanting to marry at the prime of his time to be forced to wait until he has hit 60 to have that need met. It's too little too late and his precious youthfulness cruelly wasted.
Listening to the Ulamas on this subject only worsens the trauma of the afflicted.

I needed this lacture soo much. Allah(swt) has put soo much love in me for a friend and i was confused. I didn't know if it was brotherly love, or obsession or that maybe I'm just lonely and clinging to whoever is in front of me. But this lacture helped Alhumdulillah.
Can you please talk about brotherly love between friends or friendship in general?

Assalamualaikum warahmatullah, I’m currently going through a difficult financial period and trying to settle an urgent debt responsibly. Rather than asking for handouts, I’m looking for legitimate online work opportunities or short-term gigs please.
My strongest skills are:
• Data entry
• Online research
I can help with spreadsheets, data collection, internet research, organizing information, document formatting, and similar tasks. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and willing to work hard.
If anyone has remote work, referrals, or knows where I can apply for these kinds of jobs, I’d genuinely appreciate it. Jazkallahu khair.
I'm a simple island kid from Hawaii and find your mind fascinating. Mahalo nui for sharing your thoughts
I am writing to share further reflections on Verse 23:91 of the Qur'an. While it is often interpreted as God choosing oneness to avoid conflict, I view the universe's harmony as evidence that a single Divine Will is necessary to prevent the chaos inherent in multiple leadership.
This observation suggests an inherent necessity for hierarchy and unequal distribution to maintain societal and natural order. Even when effort is equal—as seen in queen bees fighting for dominance or individuals striving for leadership—outcomes are not distributive. It appears that a balance of higher and lower positions, including structures such as marital leadership and historical frameworks like slavery, is maintained to preserve world function and free will.
I would appreciate your insights on this perspective regarding divine distribution and the necessity of hierarchy in the created world.
Well, The main question concerns further reflection on Verse 23:91 of the Qur'an. While the verse is often interpreted as God choosing oneness to avoid conflict, I have come to view it as an invitation to observe the harmony of the universe as evidence of a single authority. In human experience—whether in families, politics, or nature—multiple leaders often result in conflict and chaos. However, the universe demonstrates perfect synchronization and order. This suggests that the absence of cosmic discord is proof of a single Divine Will. This understanding has led me to reflect on the inherent necessity of hierarchy for the world to function. It appears that even when individuals exert equal effort, outcomes are not always distributive. This balance of higher and lower positions seems essential for societal and natural order, as seen in various structures such as leadership roles and even historical legal frameworks. It seems that for the world to function, a system of unequal distribution is maintained to preserve balance and free will. I would appreciate any further insights you might have on this perspective regarding divine distribution and the necessity of hierarchy in the created world. I thought God could be equally fair, but it seems God is not capable. For example, the queen bees fight to the death in a single hive, but only one gets what it wants, and others lose, even though the losers strove to the death. What can one do more than exerting oneself to death, but still God doesn’t feel the loser queen bees deserving to be winners, but just one. Even if everyone worked equally hard and no less than each other to reach high positions, such as a king or a ruler or a billionaire or a boss or an employer, God could not be equally distributive to everyone but has to keep some lower and keep some higher for the sake of balance and free will; or else the world will cease to function. That’s why the husband is the leader of the wife, and the wife cannot marry 2 or more husbands, unlike the husband, because 2 or more leaders will only cause chaos and be practically impossible. That's why slavery is supported in Islam.
