Muslim College Life

[Dan]

Bismillah

As salam alaikum

If any of my brothers or sisters want to know what life is like without any type of Islam at all them please ask me rather than finding out for yourself. The pure torture, pain, isolation, and anguish that one experiences from a lack of faith is horrible.

Any aspect of the dunya that someone would like to know about then ask because I have tried to fill my once vacant soul with every worthless bit of it. Let my tale of suffering without Allah and without Islam be a source of deterance for my ummah, my family.

Every time I hear of muslims not practicing this beautiful deen that was Given to them, my heart breaks and my pity goes out to them. Sex, alcohol, drugs, material possessions lead nowhere in this life... and to hell in the afterlife.

Image being unfulfilled this entire life to only find out that you will be punished for that in the afterlife. What a dreadful existence! Even if you find relief and comfort in the life of this world, is it worth the price of your soul? Coddling your nafs, so you can burn?

If anyone, especially young adults, need to ask about my experience in order to stay away from temptations they are suffering, please feel free to ask. It is not a time of my life that I enjoy discussing due to the sheer darkness I felt. But I would rather tell my story to help others and have them be able to avoid the same trappings to which shaitan calls us all.

Remember, everything in this creation is dying, even our sun. Nothing is eternal here except our deeds. Protect them as the precious gems that they are. I remember reading a hadith that gave me pause. We will offer all of this world just to be able to offer two rakats of prayer. Just two rakat are worth more than this world and it is something that we are all very capable of doing.

This deen makes us people. The other stuff makes us animals following their desires. If you doubt this then watch the intoxicated people interact. It is a drug that turns people to monkeys, following where their bodies lead them. Please, please, let the blessing that Allah has already Given you shine into your life. Now is the time that we can change. Upon death, there is no going back. The books are sealed.

May Allah Protect us all from the fire. May our deeds lead us to the Light instead of darkness. May Allah Forgive me for my shortcomings and Guide us all.

Jazakum Allah Khair
