Battling with ownself

Assalamualaikum everyone.

Jihad..Often mistaken for holy war is all over the media . We Muslims often forget that the the first and most important jihad ( which means struggle) is with our own self.
Battling with temptations and refraining from other worldly desires takes a lot of courage and determination. We are lucky enough to be chosen by Allaah to be Muslim and even more lucky to get the teachings of our religion. Now the real winners are those who implement those teachings in this life!


Be it songs , or mixed gatherings we all fall prey for Shaytaan's tactics at some or the other point of time . Islam is perfect ,it's us that make it complicated and difficult

For us Muslimahs the common battleground lies in backbiting.

Another problem I see is the inappropriate dressing of fellow sisters and the worst part is they consider it freedom which is very unfortunate.

My dear sisters,believe me when you cover up for the sake of Allaah ,you get benefits that last forever. Just put your entire trust in Him and you will see that he will pave the way out when there seems no way out! 

So I hope that we all battle our own selves and pray that win this war with the Nafs!
