Aligning Your Thoughts With God
Aligning Your Thoughts with God Our thoughts are incredibly powerful. They shape our worldview, influence our emotions, and determine our actions. The Bible clearly shows that the battle for a righteous life often begins in the mind. If our thoughts are not aligned with God, we risk falling into despair, confusion, and sin. But when we align our thoughts with God’s truth, our lives begin to reflect His peace, wisdom, and love.

Alignment As A Spiritual Act
Alignment As A Spiritual Act Spiritual alignment is the intentional act of bringing our entire being—heart, mind, soul, and actions—into harmony with God’s will and character. It is an ongoing journey of transformation, surrender, and obedience. To align spiritually is to consciously position ourselves so that God’s purposes flow through us, shaping who we are and what we do.

Faith Is A Decision, Not Just A Feeling
Faith is a Decision, Not Just a Feeling In today’s emotionally driven world, the concept of faith is often misunderstood. Many associate faith with an emotional high—goosebumps during a powerful song, peace during prayer, or joy in a moment of divine encounter. These are beautiful and valid experiences. However, when feelings fade, as they inevitably do, some begin to question their faith. They wonder, “Why don’t I feel God anymore?” or “Has my faith weakened?”

Faith Overcomes Doubt
Faith Overcomes Doubt In the fabric of human experience, faith and doubt often walk side by side. Doubt is not a sign of weakness, nor is it an enemy to be feared; rather, it is a natural response to the unknown. But what transforms our lives — what uplifts, strengthens, and propels us into purpose — is the choice to hold onto faith even in the presence of doubt.

My Brother’s Keeper. Content Warning.
wo men with their hands behind their backs are sat down in a freshly dug ditch shirtless and in jeans. Marks all over their faces and bodies, evidence they've endured quite a thrashing before the video camera, now recording them, was turned on. They begin confessing the crimes they've committed and how they've wronged their chosen family. The family that told them they'd always protect them and give them everything they ever wanted, so long as they worked hard and never spoke about their activities to anyone not "related," better yet, affiliated--the family that would never leave them unlike the families they were born into.

I Had No Money, But I Had a Dream – My Journey as a Beginner Writer
There was a time in my life when I had nothing — no job, no savings, not even the money to afford a cup of tea. But I had one thing that no one could take away from me: a dream to become a writer.

No worship of polytheists is acceptable.
The fundamental truth that lies at the heart of the Islamic belief system is Tawhid—the belief in one, unique God and the sense of His exclusive worship. The opposite of this Tawhid is Shirk, which means ascribing partners to God, consciously or unconsciously acknowledging someone else’s participation in His being, attributes, or worship. In Islam, Shirk is a crime that destroys any great act of worship in an instant. Therefore, it is said that no act of worship by a polytheist is acceptable to God. Because the first condition of worship is sincerity or singleness, which must be dedicated to God alone. A polytheist is a person whose worship is not single-minded; he may pray, fast, or give charity—but all of it reaches a destination where it carries no value.

Every person deserves what he intends.
One of the greatest features of the Islamic way of life is its inherent morality, which places importance not only on external behavior but also on the purity of the inner state and intention. “Every person will get what he intends” — this sentence, on the one hand, reveals the inherent subtlety of the Islamic legal system, on the other hand, it also sheds light on the deeper levels of our souls. This is not a general advice; rather, it is a fundamental principle described in the Hadith Sharif, the impact of which is not limited to the field of worship or religious activities, but extends to every level of life.

The Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
The Most Gracious, the Most Merciful—this phrase is one of the most unique and most repeated phrases in the Quran. In Arabic, it is: بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ. That is, “In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.” This phrase is not just an introductory definition; it is the essence of the identity of Allah, the Supreme Being of Islam—who has spread the imprint of mercy, compassion, forgiveness, and love in every particle of His creation.

A Thought-Based Approach
Social Resistance to Destroying Atheist and Islamophobic Ideologies: A Thought-Based Approach In most civilizations and cultures of the world, religion is considered the center of society. Religion is not just the name of spiritual practice; rather, it is the foundation of morality, order, social order, and human thought. Islam in its entirety is a complete way of life, under whose shadow people find the path to justice, peace, purity, and self-respect. But sadly, in the modern era, a group of so-called “intellectual” atheists, in particular, are constantly attacking this Islam. They do not stop at just opposing religion; rather, they want to eradicate Islam and the faith of Muslims from society. Their main goal is to make Islam a symbol of hatred and make Muslim identity socially “shameful.”
