This is the analogy the Tablighi brothers use, when giving dawah to go out in the path of Allah.
Duniya(the Material World) is like the sea. Humans in Duniya are in the sea, some can swim well, some just about stay afloat, some are supported by rafts, many are drowning.
Those who have lost their charge, I guess are the ones who are drowning in Duniya.
Therefore for one to be saved from drowning to death, they must get out of the water, and then the water has to be taken out of them.
Spending time in the Mosque, out of the filthy sea of Duniya, in the prescence of fellow Muslims, in the House of Allah should recharge our batteries inshAllah.

[b][i]Round and round the Ka'bah,
Like a good Sahabah,
One step, Two step,
All the way to jannah[/i][/b]
Islamic programmes/gatherings and lectures usually delivered by charismatic speakers usually re-charge my batteries.
This is because there are special angels that roam the Earth, looking for gatherings of dhikr/remembrance. When they find a group they call one another and encompass the gathering in layers until the first heaven. After the gathering glorifies Allah (swt) the angels return to their lord…so naturally such a blessed gathering would spiritually re-energise an individual.
Ones Iman is like a rollercoaster…sometimes its high and sometimes it’s low.
We are told to take advantage of the times when our Iman is high.
The Prophet said: “Faith wears out in the heart of any one of you just as clothes wear out, so ask Allah to renew the faith in your hearts.”
Sometimes we slacken when it comes to those extra good deeds that we may do on a daily basis…but sometimes we slacken when it comes to the Fard act…the latter is considered blameworthy.
The Holy Prophet (saw), “Every deed has energy and strength, and then this energy and strength is followed by a slackening, so who’s slackening is in accordance to my Sunnah he will be fine, and who’s slackening is to other than that [i.e., doing unlawful or forbidden deeds] he will be doomed.” (Ahmad).
[size=7] Does anyone else think that this forum sometimes decreases our Iman? [/size]
I feel like I have been washed out for a rather long time now.
I know the theory about recharging... but in practice... no effect.

[size=7] Does anyone else think that this forum sometimes decreases our Iman? [/size]
[size=7]yes[/size] :oops:
Thing is...I often find myself laying awake in bed at night mentally screwing at some of the stuff people come out with in this forum...thinking of responses and/or laughing at other people's posts.
Thats bad....as I ALWAYS used to make heartfelt dua to Allah (swt) before bed since I was a little girl.
This forum increases the chattering of the mind...I mean its hard enough reading Salaah or doing dhikr without your mind wandering on wordly stuff as it is...this forum just adds to the waffle in ones mind.
I can't help but think it breaks up ones relationship with Allah (swt) but like you said...its not the forum thats the problem its us...
I need to get emotionally detached like I was when I first joined the forum.
A simple solution would be for people to post less.
Maybe just leave a specific time in the day for the forum.
No need to check it every half hour or hour.
that solution is only for them who "waste too much time here"
what about the remaining ones I have have listed?

If everyone tries to cut down on posting then they're less likely to resort to slander, bear grudges, get personal, and/or fall in love. [size=6]But then the forum will be boring. [/size]
Can't do much about the fatwa passing. Maybe create Fatwa Passers Anonymous thread.
Well it got pretty bad... there were a couple members who threatened (privately) to leave.
Of course we always threaten to leave... but nobody ever does.
Why are you anti-men lilsis?
We're not THAT bad.
what time are u referring to :?:
I'm not anti men really-I love my daddy and will get married to a lovely man one day
its just here-its important to keep up barriers

Mr Admin easier said then done
that boy jacks all the munch at Iftar time
so instead of making dua-I'm usually fighting with him at Iftar time
we've all had massive kick offs with one another in the past over the last Samosa
Spending time in the Mosque usually helps me.

[color=red][size=24]Posting on this forum is injurious to your Iman [/size][/color]
Mr Admin put
that warning in ur home page
I agree with all you guys, I think mostly for me the reason it is harmful is becuz i waste time on it way too much!
its harmful cos
1-wastes time
2-some resort to slander here
3-some bear grudges cos of disagreements
4-some are quick to post fatwa's-not caring about the consquences
5-some get personal (like me)
6-some fall in love here :twisted:
so there are many disadvanatges to posting here :?
A simple solution would be for people to post less.
Maybe just leave a specific time in the day for the forum.
No need to check it every half hour or hour.
LOL funnily enough its THOSE same people who think other people are causing fitnah in this world :evil: :roll:
Admin there should be a rule: No flirting/chattin up/gettin sweet etc
that solution is only for them who "waste too much time here"
what about the remaining ones I have have listed?
If everyone tries to cut down on posting then they're less likely to resort to slander, bear grudges, get personal, and/or fall in love. [size=6]But then the forum will be boring. [/size]

<3 <3 <3 I wuv u wiwlsis <3 <3 <3
lol there was a time here where I was slightly confused as to whether this was a forum or a dating service...
The "marriage proposal" from Dr. Loveguest was the straw that broke the Camel's back.
How do I recharge?
I stick my finger in a light socket.
dont exagerate
its never been THAT bad here
only one or two people spoil it for others
most of the girls here are very hardcore at putting men down-we're anti men here and all women in this forum shud follow in our footsteps
Well it got pretty bad... there were a couple members who threatened (privately) to leave.
Of course we always threaten to leave... but nobody ever does.
Why are you anti-men lilsis?
